The shortage even affected last-gen graphics cards, with Nvidia Turing boards in particular seeing their retail prices soaring. The shortage was exacerbated when scalpers and miners started relying on strategic methods to buy a GPU such as automated bot systems.Īs such, unless you paid a small fortune to third-party marketplace resellers, waited in line for countless hours, or masterminded a criminal heist, you wouldn’t be able to find a decent GPU.

The result? Two groups that ultimately made it near to impossible for those looking to upgrade their PCs with an Nvidia or AMD-based video card. Crypto miners were also looking to obtain these same GPUs because of their cryptocurrency mining abilities. Due to the GPU shortage and the ensuing global price increases, popular graphics cards, particularly from both AMD and Nvidia, were extremely hard to find over the past two years.ĭuring 2020 and throughout 2021, scalpers capitalized on the situation and charged customers prices that were 200% to 300% over the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for certain boards. It therefore seems that the days of struggling to acquire an RTX 30-series video card are behind us. One of Nvidia’s partners, EVGA, also recently restocked certain RTX 30-series products such as the RTX 3080, which can be bought at prices that are much more affordable than some of the inflated costs that were widespread during the peak of the GPU shortage.

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends GPU shortage is finally coming to an endĪlongside a general statement mentioning that “GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards are now available,” a quick look at Nvidia’s external retailer links associated with its GPUs does indeed show that these boards are now largely available at most online marketplaces.įor example, the Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF OC Gaming is now in stock at Overclockers, with its price dropping by almost $400 as well.
