Will I have to wait until the RTX 4000 series to buy a new Nvidia graphics card? - Anatoli_Smorin - Feb 12, 2021
So there are not enough RTX 30xx for every single person who wants one?
Even after they manufacture a new batch, all of them will sell out within a matter of minutes?
Will I have to wait ~2 years for the RTX 4000 series to be released before I can get a new GPU?
How long of a waiting list will I have to be on before I can obtain one?
Is the GPU market going to be like this indefinitely?

Supply will eventually catch up to demand. Lisa Su (AMD CEO) speculates that Q3 2021 is when supply will hopefully be getting closer to meeting projected demand. Realistically this means the end of this year or early next year as to when pricing might be less horrendous. A lot can happen between now and then though, so nobody really knows for sure.
Logically speaking, if there are still supply issues next year, a 4000 series won't be any easier to get than 3000 series. The generation won't matter if material shortages are present.

This last part, even me only using 0.0001% of my brain knows this :)

Buy a used cheap card that will do your gaming for the time being or wait or spend a crap ton of money on overpriced cards.
