NVIDIA seems to be having lots of trouble managing their GPU inventory or the excess of it as highlighted in new reports from Taiwanese based sources. Now the inventory issues may have exploded at NVIDIA HQ since a major Taiwanese OEM has allegedly returned 300,000 GPU units back to NVIDIA, that may end up causing a delay for the next-gen GeForce parts.

Why aren't bitcoiners buying all these GPUs? To a true believer the price in fiat currency shouldn't matter.

What I've found interesting is the drop off in searches for bitcoin and other cryptos and the fall in price. It's easy to believe overloading in parts inventory at the manufacturers as people have bought 3-8 gpus for a mining rig, or from some pictures apparently dozens of gpus being ordered. The problem will be compounded by the crackdown in China.

No matter what's happening lets hope the prices fall faster so people don't need to pay too much for even lovely cards for gaming.

what lovely GPUs are you talking about? There shouldnt be any that are good for bitcoin and bad for gaming due to the nature of mining

I'm meaning gamers that are stuck buying lower performance gpus to suit their budget. Recent months have seen a lot of people gpu mining altcoins. As you say mining bitcoin on a gpu hasn't been worthwhile for quite some time.
