The pandemic is really wreaking havoc on the hardware market. NVIDIA's 3000 cards are constantly sold out and understocked, the PS5 is nowhere to be seen and Sony admitted that they don't see how they can meet the demand for even the next christmas sale. In FEBRUARY!

I doubt that the pandemic has anything to do with GPUs being out of stock, it is rather the mining boom that results in fast sold outs of almost any faster GPU nowadays. How I hate this mining bull*, making money out of nothing can't be serious and this should be stopped...

That's what my RTX3070 is doing 20+ hours per day when I'm not simming.  Unless ETH drops again I will have made enough to pay for the card in 3 or 4 months.

Yeah... that's why 1 Bitcoin is now worth around 40K. Because it is nothing serious...

1. New trade deals

2/ Manufacturers have less employees working (COVID related)

3. Bitcoin

 

The bitcoin can be fixed by limiting sales of 1-2 per customer.
