Ouch.... I knew it might be until the end of July at least for NVIDiA with the huge possibility even further out for AMD hardware but this is getting beyond stupid.

In other words , for most people the 40XX series will be announced before they even whiff a 3080 .

I said 6 quarters before things improve
 
there are cards out there.... you figure on 100k GPUs for AMD and same for Nvidia a month (it probably worse than that  -like 50k each)
you have how many countries...do the math
less than 1K cards per country a month
 
Now you wonder why you don't see stock when there are millions wanting them in a country
Its a crap shoot
 
you have to be online - you have to be quick - and you have to look at smaller online retailers that don't get as much online traffic
thats how i got 2 - smaller online retailer
 
big fish retailer forget it by the time you see it its gone already - - i been thru checkout a number of times now (even with turing  a few years back)and had the same results
 
 
 
 

Honstly it just gives more time to save!!!

The zombie apocalypse will happen before you guys are going to be able to buy current generation hardware.

Zombies that want to eat people's GPUs instead of brains.

not sure what but RAM inched up lately suggesting the trump countervail is attacking RAM from Samsung now?
 

 
Some trackers forecast it going up for Q1. Covid supply disruptions catching up to production belatedly, as well as production lines beginning to transition away to DDR5 already.

why was my earlier post deleted??????

I think it will probably end before then as people start to find PS5 and Xbox Series X on the shelf and they start to go back to work and school thus making portable laptops more of a sought after choice. A lot of people don't realize a huge part of the problem is people working from home and liking the idea of having a desktop computer and they have been making them gaming PC's as well. When we start to see people get the vaccine in amounts that allow them to go back to work or continue to work from home we will quickly have people realizing that being seen in the office by the boss is how to get noticed.

And then all those people going back to work at the office will need office systems, so there will be a fresh surge of demand from that angle. Old systems either will need to be updated or after a year some machines just don't work anymore. Hopefully businesses realize home workers means they could save on the IT and equipment costs.
