Nvidia admits it cannot fully meet the market demand for graphics cards, gamers: they only care about money

Since 2020, the supply of graphics cards has become the biggest headache for PC players: chip shortages, rampant "mining", and scalpers' hoarding have all caused graphics card prices to soar. What makes players even more angry is that Nvidia, as the world's largest graphics card chip manufacturer, does not seem to intend to improve the current situation.

Recently, Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said at an event that the current demand for graphics cards has exceeded Nvidia's capabilities and they are unable to produce enough graphics cards in a timely manner. But on the other hand, Nvidia has released laptop graphics cards such as MX550, MX570, RTX 2050, RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3080 Ti and desktop graphics cards such as RTX 3050, RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3080 12GB this year, and even launched an "enhanced version" of RTX 2060. However, from the performance point of view, the only thing that seems to be "enhanced" is the price.

Of course, Nvidia has not forgotten to continue to paint the pie. Kress said that by the second half of this year, most graphics card supply problems will be resolved, and the graphics card market is expected to return to normal.

However, interested players should be familiar with similar statements from Nvidia executives.

Since the beginning of 2020, Nvidia executives and industry insiders have repeatedly stated that "things will be better in six months" and "the supply problem can be solved in a year."

As the saying goes, “three years after another three years”, now that the players’ ears are callused from hearing these things, I’m afraid not many people believe what they say anymore.

Some players commented that upstream graphics card companies represented by NVIDIA are complaining about insufficient production capacity on the one hand, and launching new products on the other, but have never made effective restrictions on mining, scalping and other behaviors that disrupt market order. In their eyes, the only thing is to increase shipments and make money, and the interests of ordinary players are really nothing.
