The head of NVIDIA, Jen-Hsun Huang, has said that they work to improve the availability of graphics cards, but that this task is not easy.

The demand for graphics cards for cryptocurrency mining has caused a rise in the price of graphics, due to the scarcity of these in the market. This situation, unfortunately for everyone, is not close to being solved, and no matter how much they sell that mining ASICs for Ethereum, caused a flood of graphics in the second-hand market, it does not seem viable, for two reasons: there are no ASIC miners enough to replace all the GPU miners and before selling the hardware, they will start mining other coins, which will be that there are none. NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has further said that solving the problem is far from fixed.

NVIDIA, yesterday, put on sale a new shipment of Founders Edition graphics in the United Kingdom, which lasted a while, since the stock ran out in a short time. Huang has also said that it is a challenge to supply the gamer market, but that for this they will put the machines to work and produce more and strengthen the supply of graphics, something that they are already addressing, but that the task is complicated.

Mining consumes a lot of graphics, but you can't get graphics from under the stones and the problem with not being able to produce more is that NVIDIA has problems with the availability of GDDR5 and GDDR5X memories. The memory shortage is not a novelty, we all know how the prices of SSDs and RAM memories have risen, and coincidentally, the miners are not at all to blame for this problem.

NVIDIA could have a million GPUs ready, but can't bring them to market, simply because they don't have memory. Some will think of the HBM2 used by AMD, but the problem with these memories is that they are difficult to produce, 40% have to be discarded because they are defective and they are much more expensive than GDDR5, so it does not compensate and does not solve absolutely anything . It only remains to wait seated.
