Hello,
Here in my country "Norway" there is currently "more or less" no cards available right now.
Not from 1000, 2000 or 3000 series same with the AMD cards.
Before the 3000 series came availability wasn't a problem, at least to my knowledge here.
What is going on`?, is it simply that they dont have enough resources to make chips because of popularity?
Is the Bitcoin trend making the demand for miners really high again?
Are NVIDIA using this and controlling the marked as much as possible to able to sell the GPUs at a higher price?
It just feels so weird that i cant buy ANY new GPUs unless there is some shit non gaming GPU.
Even the used marked is really fucked right now, 4 years old 1080 TI`s selling for 500-600 buck, same with 2070.
At least what i make of this is that There should be more competition in the GPU marked when you more or less can sell all your goods even before it hits the shelfs.
And if you sell your used GPU you can make money on it even if you had it several years.
If anyone have some good information about the matter i would love to hear it.
Just some thoughts
