Good signs for graphics card shortage

An analysis by independent German tech site ComputerBase has revealed early signs that the graphics card shortage is easing.

The publication recently assessed the availability of new Nvidia and AMD graphics cards from online retailers in Europe, and found the situation has improved considerably.

Its previous assessment from 17 May showed there was very limited stock of many popular RTX 30 series and Radeon 6000 series cards, while prices had tripled from the recommended retail prices.

Don't worry, market will soon be flooded again when Ether dips below $1k. Radeon RTX though? Don't think you'll find any of those in stock.

Could be the beginning of an easing in the global GPU market. Probably isn't.

Thank goodness I bought my 1050Ti OC 4GB for 2 grand about 8 months ago 2nd hand.
Prices today are scary

Is it socially acceptable yet to insult people who are willing to pay 30-50K for a goddamn GPU?
I mean, you do you and all that but it just feels wrong.
Protect you from yourself.

I dont know about that, I have checked several German online retailers (Have a friend that stays there and can help me import) and none of them have stock ... or atleast stock at RRP , those that do are from 3rd parties.

This is backed up in the article, as you can see markups are from 50-100%

Issue is it's not truly capitalist as there's a shortage.
