Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

They pretty much admitted they not ramping up production, they relying on demand to drop. I expect most chips are going to AIBs and quadros, and most AIB cards go direct to miners. Nvidia themselves dont send direct to miners.

Pretty sure they do. The large mining operations are effectively AIBs themselves, and they buy direct from nVidia - just the chips. Apparently, from what I've read numerous times, these are operations that have the capability to design and build their own PCBs, optimised for mining.

TSMC now also admitted they messed up, by not increasing capacity at an earlier point, they literally waited until it all bottlenecked until they gave the go ahead, meaning no new capacity coming online until 2023.
 
after nearly 30yrs of pc gaming looks like its console gaming for me, the lack of gpu's at decent prices unfortunately pushes ppl like myself away, its a hobby where only the wealthy can afford these days, or those daft enough to pay these prices. its pc gaming that will suffer if this keeps off and the software houses will get hit too, amd and nvidia might be laughing themselves silly now, when when mining eventually falls, they be no mainstream gamers left to sell gpu's too

They can’t, they are not a manufacturer and the fabs they are reliant on have no spare capacity.

they can’t do jack to increase supply!
 
God,reading through these threads is like watching a car crash. Things are ridiculously desperate for some. I am so glad i bought my nitro+ RX 6800 for a then extortionate £730. Ever second hand prices are ******* more insane. I thought £400 for my Vega 64 was a lot. Little did i know LOL

They did mess up but its a one in a generation opportunity to prove to Governments and registered voters that centering the entirety of Western Industry onto 3-5 large buildings in Taiwan is not a good industrial strategy.

I came to that conclusion months ago.

Trouble is. with mining becoming more and more profitable, and the general chip shortage, this situation is unlikely to change even when the 4 series comes out.

We really need bitcoin to crash beyond repair (unlikely) to get sensible GPU pricing again.

Or more competition (go Intel, yaaay...*spits*).
 
My partner pointed out to me that she misses playing games on the TV with me due to my moping around and avoiding it because the video card in the PC isn't good enough. More worryingly she's noticed that my mood was down since very early this year due to the PC build, which I'd spent a while planning and looking forward to with excitement, wasn't happening.

So, with some reluctant admission of both these facts, I nabbed a Sapphire 6900XT MBA. It was a lot of money, £1500 all in, but now we're going to enjoy a bunch of games together in the way I had originally planned us to, back in October 2020.

I guess I'm a hypocrite now? I don't know. It feels like the right decision though. My build's compete at least.

unfortunately mining is to big to fail now.
