Nvidia expects crippling GPU shortages to continue throughout 2021
If you’re waiting for the crippling graphics card shortage to loosen up before buying new hardware, well, you might be waiting for a while. Nvidia says it expects GPU stock to remain constrained for the rest of 2021 (which probably helps explain why we won’t see an RTX 4080 this year).
“Overall demand remains very strong and continues to exceed supply while our channel inventories remain quite lean,” Nvidia chief financial officer Colette Kress said in a statement. “We expect demand to continue to exceed supply for much of this year. We believe we will have sufficient supply to support sequential growth beyond Q1.”
