Martin, once the pandemic eases do you anticipate stock levels will improve or will the crypto idiots still dominate sales? How depressing to read the card firmware has already been hacked. Just how clever are the Nvidia software guys? 😞 Ray (Cheshire, England).

I have to wonder if card manufacturers would be willing to flood the market even if they could. Face it, right now they are guaranteed to sell every single card they make at whatever price they want. Not really a lot of motivation to multiply supply, which would drive down prices and potentially result in unsold stock.

Card manufacturer, are, actually, introducing, theire product in MSRP, it's the cryptocurrency scalping , Touting along with the fact the lot of people got a lot of money are the reason, and unfortunately all of this thing will not go away soon. I went through Microcenter in Tustin CA, noticed long line of camping chairs lining in front of the store, when I aske the guy what is going on here, he said, people are waiting for the new 3060 card to come out today, $499 a piece, they grab as many as the can and the next day you will find them on CL &E-bay for $800 ...... some of them spent 2 nights in front of the store .... for me, I sold my 1080ti, just before the big bang, and for now I'm out of the "Game" no Sim for me (-:
