Take it with a grain of salt, but TweakTown
claims they heard from an industry source that availability of NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 30 series will be problematic. According to the article, there will be almost no stock until the end of this year. The rumor is that Samsung's 8nm yields may be the culprit.
But there is one story I wanted to sit down and make sure I wrote, and that was from an industry source who told me that post-launch there will be "no stock will be available till the end of the year". The first wave of cards is said to be small, very, very small -- possibly the smallest launch in many years.
Another source had something much more damning to say, but I want to flesh that out before I write it. For now, I'm being told stock will be extremely low for the next couple of months. Why? Samsung 8nm yields are unknown at this point, NVIDIA might not want to make too many before the yields improve.
