As such, we could be in for another great graphics card-sized shortage of our beloved SSDs soon, and prices for the best SSDs for gaming could start to rise all over the world as a result. Graphics cards have been in desperately short supply ever since the end of last year, suffering from a double-whammy of manufacturing delays related to Covid-19 and another surge in cryptocurrency mining, making it nigh on impossible for regular folk like us to get hold of new hardware such as Nvidia's new RTX 30-series GPUs and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 cards. Indeed, Nvidia's CFO Colette Kress recently warned investors that they "expect demand to continue to exceed supply for much of this year," suggesting the current graphics card situation may not resolve itself until sometime in 2022. That's a long time to wait for those trying to upgrade their PC right now, and will probably result in many simply skipping this generation of hardware altogether.
