There’s been a lot of news in the past week or so about a crisis of sorts unfolding for Nvidia. The company is gearing up to launch its 40-series GPUs, but it has a little problem: There’s currently way too many 30-series cards still on virtual store shelves. Those GPUs weren’t supposed to be there. After all, there’s been a GPU shortage for the past two years. However, in May the crypto market started to implode. That accelerated in June, and now that we’re in July, crypto is on life support. That’s lead to an unexpected dump of GPUs onto the open market. All of a sudden, it’s the opposite of a GPU shortage. This has now lead Nvidia to throw a fire sale on its most powerful Ampere GPUs. All of its high-end GPUs are now way under MSRP at major retailers.
