In the previous year, we could have thought that after Christmas, the situation with the supply of modern graphics cards would improve. At the end of the previous year, AMD also entered the market with its models, the offer of cards gradually expanded and the most boring period of the year also occurred in terms of hardware sales. However, the third wave of cryptocurrency mining came and it threw a pitchfork into it, and the question is whether the market situation would be significantly better from the customer’s point of view, even if the value of cryptocurrencies did not increase.
By the way, Ethereum broke the limit of CZK 30,000 or 1,300 USD during this week, and now it is already at the historically highest level. Although we know from experience that such extremes do not have a long duration and that the decrease in value can be just as fast, but the time is as unpredictable as the cryptocurrencies themselves. But back to NVIDIA.

According to Hardwaretimes Throughout January, NVIDIA did not supply some manufacturers with a single more powerful GeForce RTX 3000 GPU in terms of the APAC region, Asia and the Pacific. The situation may be different for companies focusing more on Western markets, and it should definitely be different, because otherwise the GPU produced would probably have to be lost in a black hole. Someone might also see the direct sale of cards to cryptocurrency miners, but we can only fantasize about it without further information. –
The source states that these were chips (usually supplied with the appropriate memories) for the production of non-reference cards, but also the cards themselves, which simply could not flow to the market in the region. The sellers reportedly expect a certain smaller delivery of Founders Edition cards in the middle of February, and the non-reference versions will not hit the market until the end of the month. And there will be more RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti cards on the market than the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090.
