Will supply meet demand (or perhaps even a surplus) when the next-generation of graphics cards are released from Nvidia and AMD?

No, the scalpers are.Nvidia and AMD are making a large fortune with these overpriced GPU's. They don't want prices to drop.
No, all of them are - Scalpers, NVIDIA, AMD, and AiBs. Check out NVIDIA's and AMD's latest quarterly earnings reports.No, the scalpers are.
Hard disagree here.Well, 60% price hikes are relatively fair when performance is expected to be 100-140% higher too.
People were perfectly fine paying 110% more for (-10%) to +80% performance back in the SLI/CF days. 60% higher price for 100+% higher performance is a far better deal than that.Hard disagree here.
Expected - yes, but just about as far from fair as you could possibly be.
Yeah...prices are ridiculous. I have PS5/Series X/Switch and got all three for only $100 more than what a 3080 Ti cost. Crazy!I think what you're really asking is whether GPU prices will come back down from crazytown later this year.
Unfortulately, the answer is up to NVIDIA, AMD, and AiBs. I'm going to speculate that prices will come down slightly in the summer (northern hemisphere), just to spike again during the fall and holiday season. NVIDIA, AMD, and AiBs are making more money than ever, on every GPU product they sell. They'll be loath to relinquish that profit margin and will do everything in their power to keep the price-per-product as artifically high as possible.
It could be that the RTX 3080, for $699, in September 2020 may be the last good price-for-performance GPU we see - ever.
