The next generation of graphics cards is around the corner, with a pretty substantial performance improvement expected. Only buy a card now if you really, really have to - everyone else should just wait until Ada etc. Intel's new lineup that is launching right now might also relieve some pressure from the market, at least in the low-end.

It all got snatched up by the crypto miners directly at the factory. Since crypto prices are falling and ETH moves to POS, the situation might reverse substantially. According to Jon Peddie Research, the combined number of desktop GPUs sold by AMD & NVidia: Q3/2019 ~10,5 M Q4/2019 ~11,8 M Q1/2020 ~9,5 M Q2/2020 ~10,1 M Q3/2020 11,5 M Q4/2020 11,0 M Q1/2021 11,8 M Q2/2021 11,47 M Q3/2021 12,72 M
