The gaming crowd is waiting this year for Nvidia’s next generation of graphics cards to be released, namely the RTX 5080 and 5090, and as recent reports have pointed out, the release of these GPUs may be severely limited. This news has left Gamers and other tech lovers worried because of the demanded high-end graphics cards in the market.
What’s Causing the Shortage?
Several reasons were pointed out by the insiders as to why the RTX 5080, and 5090 could be scarce. Firstly, complicating supply chain issues that are again fueled by shortages of semiconductors have hampered the production of new technology to meet user demands. Furthermore, by making these GPUs, Nvidia may have intensified the complexity of using advanced manufacturing processes that may slow production schedules.
What This Means for Gamers.
This could mean a mad scramble for the few sets likely to be available in the market once the next generation of game consoles becomes available, especially if production is indeed threatened. This means early adopters may have to rush to acquire their GPUs as scalpers and resellers will undoubtedly take up the baton, and push rates even further up on the aftermarket.
How to Prepare for the Launch.
