Question If the GPU shortage is over, then why is the RTX 4090 so hard to get?

If the chip shortage is over, then why is the RTX 4090 so hard to get?

Didn't Nvidia build a new GPU factory in Taiwan?

Shortage over or not, that was a large overarching issue impacting everything.
Isolated shortages can still happen, dosent matter if chips are abundant on the open market if Nvidia cant put the card together fast enough for demand.

The shortage of GPUs generally easing up doesn't mean that each and every new GPU will be easily available, especially ones without a large run.

literally EVERY SINGLE NEW RELEASE has sold out day 1 and taken a month or 2 for stock to normalize.
cpu's, gpu's always have and always will.

has nothing to do with supply chain, scalpers or anything else. something new folks want, not enough to go around = out of stock first couple weeks or so.

I think I'll wait to get an RTX 4090, since there are stories about the power cables literally catching fire.
