In a perfect world you'd be able to go into a store and take your pick of the new Ampere-based
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series range -- something to suit your budget, with prices in-line with, well, reality. As we've recently heard from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is also saying that chip shortages and supply issues aren't going to end anytime soon.
RTX On... but when? Probably 2023.
“I think that through the next year, demand is going to far exceed supply," Jensen Huang
told Yahoo Finance. "We don’t have any magic bullets in navigating the supply chain.”
Though this doesn't mean that there won't be GPUs out there to buy, much like with the elusive PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles -- they're going to get snapped up pretty much right away.
“We have the support of our suppliers," he adds. "We’re fortunate that we’re multi-sourced and that our supply chain is diverse and our company is quite large so we have the support of a large ecosystem around us.”
Interestingly Jensen Huang notes that even though there are supply issues, the rise in working from home and home computing in the past year is here to stay -- meaning that demand won't subside. That and more people are gaming now than ever before, especially on PC.
