It is no secret that we have been suffering from the biggest graphics card supply problems in recent months 20 years. Since NVIDIA released the RTX 30 in September the units have been arriving with droppers at the stores , no only from Spain but from all over the world.

This has caused great frustration among consumers and fans of the brand who longed to have the new generation of graphics cards with the company’s green chips. The imminent arrival of one of the most anticipated games of recent times Cyberpunk 2077, which implements the company’s RTX and DLSS technologies has only increased demand even further.

Until now NVIDIA had blamed lack of supply to increased consumer demand and automated shopping bots and have avoided commenting on existing stock and production capacity.

The mystery of the lack of stock It was revealed this morning when an operator named Choi Min-sik from a Samsung subsidiary port warehouse in South Korea discovered merchandise in a container that was not on their records. Apparently the operator, who claims to be a fan of NVIDIA RayTracing, claims that has been seeing the NVIDIA logo on stacked boxes for weeks in the container that no one has claimed to close it and take it to the port for transport.

Choi affirms that he had been waiting for months to be able to buy an RTX graphics card, also out of stock in his country, and dreaming of playing Fornite and Minecraft with all the brightness, reflections and effects of light that the RTX would give it 30. “Seeing the NVIDIA logo on all those boxes every day as I passed the machine by the container only added to my frustration at not getting one.” – says the Korean operator. – “I finally decided to open one of them, and to my surprise it was a box full of RTX GPUs 3080!”

Choi Min-sik has not hesitated to go to his superiors to report the finding. After opening all the boxes and making an inventory of the merchandise, they have determined that there are more than 500 thousand units of NVIDIA graphics chips including RTX 3080, RTX 3090 and RTX 3070 that got into the container without their correct documentation after being manufactured by Samsung in mid-August. A bureaucratic problem has been the cause of not having been registered in the delivery record to the shipping company, and what has caused the merchandise to be lost.

The container with the GPUs was due have sent to the port of Shenzhen, in China, for distribution to companies such as Palit, PC Partner and Foxconn responsible for manufacturing graphics cards of different brands, including Founder Editions from NVIDIA.

After the discovery, NVIDIA has acknowledged that months ago they lost the merchandise and had not been able to find it. “We have been claiming this merchandise from Samsung for months. They told us that it had already left the factory, but then they did not present us with any paper that proves that it had reached its destiny “- explained Jeff Fisher, vice president of the company and director of the GeForce division, in statements addressed to shareholders.

The loss of so many GPUs in August also meant that NVIDIA had to ordering more manufacturing volume from Samsung than expected to meet demand. Therefore, after the discovery, the GPUs that were lost with all the manufacturing volume that was demanded to make up for their absence will be brought together. This should not only meet demand but also have more RTX graphics cards 30 than needed, which can assume a temporary price drop of up to 12%.

The discovery has caused NVIDIA shares to begin to rally after several weeks of accumulated fall, because they will finally have the capacity to supply demand.
