That's the frustrating part. How is any of this justice?

I think time will tell, But the drivers could be a primary cause of these GPU's not being up to par.

Nvidia may push up their time table to hammer on both AMD and intel. The parts shortage is letting up a tad but it's still really bad. My current estimation end of 2022, Provided taiwan doesn't become absorbed by china by force. My prediction, end of 2022 only because they want to try to keep...

I agree. A 4070 should be amazing for the price, but not if I have to drop an extra 200-300 for a new power supply. Power considerations are also a factor. If power prices spike, then those new nVidia cards will be spendy to keep using.

nVidia new offering is literally going to require so much extra power. it's sounding like a minimum 400watts to 800watts JUST for the card (I think it will be in the middle there). It sounds like a new power supply will be required. However, it's supposed to be a considerable step up in...

So they announced the low end products april 30th. They are supposed to be available very soon. I feel a little bit lied to because I want to know about the actual mid range and high end cards.

My boss sold a Voodoo 5500 AGP for $350, That stung because it was too cheap. He did make money off of it. But that hurt a tad. I also picked up a reproduced adlib card and I think it belongs in a 286 build honestly. I grew up with scsi on a 286. I think it was a nice 12mhz? I know my dad did...

I didn't mean chiplets. I meant nVidia.

Nope. I'm certain they are harder to work with.

When the market reaches saturation, I really do expect prices to plummet. All those people scalping will be wanting to get out all at once. *Edit* it looks like the demand is falling off. It's going to be an interesting few months.

Q3, But I'm honestly skeptical. Parts shortages are really bad.

Given what Newegg has done recently with their RMA, that speaks volumes of their business standards.

I hope Newegg gets bludgeoned by their own greed after this shortage ends.

Bullshit. Based on what? You need to cite evidence if you want to say "never". You're making insane remarks with very little supporting evidence. "Crypto will keep pushing" Is not evidence. You are trying to backtrack without any actual proof that this is a "never" scenario. I cited actual...

That's not a realistic answer whatsoever. It's whatever the market will accept. Saying "NEVER" is almost guaranteed to be incorrect as your don't have any evidence to support your claim. The chip shortage isn't going to be around forever. Prices should come back to some sort of reason. It's to...
