Stefti I think the really big picture is that population, which only ONE long human lifespan ago was around 1.8B people and is now almost 7.9B, and during which resource consumption has gone up exponentially and continues to accelerate to a frenzy.  These various shortages are something we will continue to see going forward, they will worsen, will lead to increasing resource competition and it will come to a head sooner than later which does not mean GPUs will never be in better supply than today, that may well change and the pandemic hiccough wanes.  These early indicators are shortages are harbingers of things to come I'm afraid.   As long as we have a 'growth' based economy where all that matters is growth and profit, and ignore sustainability as we mostly do now, this is the scenario we will see come to fruition and it is fully guaranteed to be not pretty.

... Simming is for rich Patricians , the poor plebeians are back to Backgammon.. no, seriously Guys, I mean it, to put a nice Rig to add controllers and maybe a G1000 by Realsimgear, few pieces of Addons like AirManager,etc, and you half way to your PPL, actually, you can get your Light-Sport Certification for this price ... it's insane, I sold my I7-K4790 with 1080ti just before this whole thing start to spin up and I'm stuck, no light in the horizon, on the contrary, I'm following the market, and I see the RTX 3080 hitting the $2,000 mark ....    

So sad

Different times for sure.  I hope my lowly RTX 2070 Super doesn't die soon, though RTX 3060 Ti w/ 12gb VRAM would be an ok substitute for it.  Fortunately I can run both P3D and MSFS enough to enjoy them both immensely.  This is a time to be happy w/ what you've got if you're lucky enough to have what you more or less need.  I wonder how much of this is tied to Trump's trade war with China.  I can't see Covid playing that big a role on something like this.
