Does anyone believe the trend of short supply will continue if we do not get it in the first refresh of our browser then they will be sold out? The power claims to be more which we all know is usually the case in most aspects at least on paper. " Lovelace would see an increase in Graphics Processing Clusters up to 12, which is twice as many as Turing’s GA102 GPU (3080)" -VideoCardz. I just wonder at this rate of supply/demand if it will be another rat race and if there will ever be a time when we will be able to get back to not stressing the time crunch or sold out in seconds phenomenon. Is there light at the end of the tunnel or is the shortage of components just a way of life for our future?  

Such things are just impossible to predict. I think the quarantine made the impact even bigger, but nobody really knows. All we know is that it should release Q4 of 2022. That's literally all we know

moving to general discussion section

Become an elite member to get in early on the 4000 series gpus.

Quite frankly next gen GPUs would be out until late next year. Hopefully by that time the semiconductor shortage will be over or mostly over.

I also think it will be the end of 2022 before we see anything from NVIDIA.  The chip shortage, all industries, may subside somewhat by then, but there is still an existing pent up demand that will take time to alleviate.  When your local auto dealer has a full lot of new cars, that will be one indication that things are getting better.  Some of the new fabs will start production sometime in 2023, which will help. 
 
As @Hoggle stated above, if more people are forced to work remotely, then we will see another surge in demand.
 

Yeah. I agree. If people go back out we will be in the same spot. I have been blessed to tinker with a couple 3xxx series cards one official and one made due to shortages (3060). This time around I'll grind even harder for an FE which I didn't get last time while massively refreshing to grab one on launch day. Ended up paying a premium. I just hope it doesnt happen again.

Theyve said through 2022 at least. Not good.

Nothing is certain until late next year. 

Waiting is the hardest part. Manufacturing is as high as it can get with low levels of parts. 

The other thing we will have to see is the price and performance increase when it does show up. Also what is happening with monitor prices. If people feel they should upgrade from a 3070 or 3080 then it could be a a real rush. The monitor prices could possibly make it so people start to upgrade to 1440p or 4K monitors making people want to really maximize the performance with a new card.

If the 4000 series ends production of the 3000 series then it will likely be a never ending GPU saga that will continue into our childrens golden years

They should continue with both since they will be on different fabrication lines that already exist. In the past new stock of the previous gen was available for a very long time after the new ones were out. I don't think they flick a switch and stop making them. People will buy them.

US really needs to get back in to the chip game.  We made 40% of the world's chips in 1990 and only about 12% now.  Logistic's from Asia just adds a second huge bottleneck.

I agree which is why TSMC is going to build a fab in the USA but this takes time and won't resolve anything until the plant is online probably 2023/2024.

By the time we catch up, we will have an oversupply and less demand for all these new fabs. Gonna be rough for those workers who end up losing jobs when that time comes around in a few years

I think that depends upon the market and pricing
