Also in mid-January 2021 the shelves of the electrical retailers are partly empty and anyone who wants to buy a new generation graphics card is looking into the tube. Now there is the next bad news for all Team Red supporters who are eagerly waiting for more supplies. According to AMD boss Lisa Su, the situation should not defuse in the coming months either. Gamers will have to wait until the middle of the year until the situation has eased and the coveted cards will be available in larger numbers.

It doesn’t look any better at NVIDIA. According to CFO Colette Kress, Team Green will be busy replenishing stocks until the second quarter. It is even possible that this will only succeed in Q3 2021. Thus the GPUs from both camps will continue to be extremely rare in the future.

Although both companies are currently trying to further increase production capacities, this will take a certain amount of time . In addition, the required materials are currently extremely scarce due to the high demand on the world market. Not only NVIDIA and AMD need these materials, the auto industry is currently seeing an increased need for processors. The rising prices of cryptocoins are also causing desires among miners.
