    It's all about availability. Will we really be able to buy these?
    Despite searching and even joining a "StockDrops" Discord I never have been able to buy a 3070...

    An announcement is all they can do and all we'll get for long time to come. The global chip shortage is a bitch.

    Just more marketing,advertising,it's like watching the weeks before an election.

    I don't want more hardware,i want better games,better studios that can deliver smooth performance on hardware we ALREADY have.
    I feel like all of the gaming world is operating as rank amateur's from day 1.Releases are typically a mess after months of testing,go figure and anything revolving around pvp is nerfed,tweaked changed FOREVER while NEVER getting it right.

    Is new hardware going to make game monetization go away,is new hardware going to rid the hobby of cash shops and advertising and streamer/YouTube influencers?

    is new hardware going to make my games better,is new hardware going to develop the games,add the content i want to see,add the UI and AI i want to see?

    Point being that we do NOT need a single new piece of hardware,NOTTA single one,we need better studios making better games.


    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Good news, except that NVidia hasn't even delivered launch day orders for RTX 3080 and 3090 yet.

    Noone even cares outside of scalpers and scalper retailers like Newegg. Bring me some Xe, Intel.

    Unfortunately, they will sell out fast and they will also be hard to get. There is a global chipset shortage, them not being good for data-mining may only alleviate it so much. The shortage is largely thanks to sanctions the US imposed on China pre-pandemic, and the shortage may last another 2 years. To alleviate it, the US would have to build and staff manufacturing plants to manufacture these things, which is extremely expensive, and the return on investment apparently makes it not worth-while for some reason. So here we are.

    These models will be produced in tens. Meaning each card will be produced 10 times. And go straight to nature museum of rarest species known to man.

    The shortage doesn't have much to do with trade sanctions.

    Most important reason behind the shortage is that pandemic increased demand for a lot of different electronics. As a result, world ran out of production capacity.

    A lot of companies have responded to the situation by starting to build new factories, but it takes a couple of years from decision to actually build one.
