I'm curious others thoughts on when (or perhaps if) this supply issue with chips and GPUs comes to an end. I have to think it will at some point, but I don't follow PC stuff much.
Reasoning is I'm trying to solve a dilemma. I was about to sell off my old Radeon card, I only replaced it because the fan was noisy. I fixed the fan, then got distracted and let it sit in a drawer. Now I'm in drawer clean out phase. So I put it in my PC to test it. The thing is, it is still more than enough graphics card for me and I've got a friend offering me $100 more than I paid for my GTX 1660 in December 2019. I think they are fucking insane myself (it's not even a good card), but the prices check out when I look online.
So, I'm thinking about selling it, because I'm pretty much only a couch/TV/console gamer. I may convert to PC and build a totally new HTPC when my Xbox wears out it's welcome, but we are talking 2023-ish. I can't imagine I'd even want a GTX 1660 in 2023. Do we think it will still be impossible to get hardware by then?
When they announced the 2080's and the price of the 1080's crashed I was able to pick up one used for $325. I could sell that for twice what I paid for it today.
