If you're in Seattle order food from Snappy Dragon. That's my local business plug. lmao

For GPU, I am quite sure it's the mining. Many desktop resellers in China now have large drops of sells due to the high-rise price.

ZPG -- all u need to know : )

linus for prez.

I was going to build a PC, but it looks it will take 1 to two years to be finished :(

4:15 24 hour version please.

I have several older PC's and laptops that had slowed to a crawl by being choked with old Windoze products... I changed the oldest (over a decade) over to Linux (Pop OS and Mandrake) and it is back to life and running as strong as more recent systems and are now my workhorses for certain applications... Others I just flushed and revamped... yes, I now have several systems running. but I am also able to easily split my workloads among systems so that my newest system can be dedicated to the most intensive programs/games without issue... I also can run resource heavier programs on other systems and just move data around on the network instead of taxing the heck out of one system by trying to run everything.. Prime example is running ISboths videos and tutorials on a separate machine from my graphics / CAD machines... Doubling the "electricity load is still measured an a couple dollars (at best) per month as opposed to several thousand dollars for a single system to carry the heavier load.

I logged in after watching this on another device just to say: the pacing, editing, and narration of this video was on point, informative and interesting. Well done!

CEO Nvidia Asian, CEO AMD Asian = Production in Big Scale in Asia. Asia won't take $ and attack Bitcoin. Asian production stop = Asians are racist : ). Crypto Theory I broke much faster than You ];-D. PS Next step Intel must make CPU(GPU dedicate in one Motherboard) and broke business miners : ). PS Another help when Matrox from Canada made gamer GPU ];-D. PS Corporation buy Linus for this blabla : ) I don't trust you now siya. You don't know, but not much more Tantal in this World...soon chips business just broke.

It's a LOT cheaper to make caps and boards, than to run a fab.

Stalefish board company in bel air, md. It’s a skate, surf, snow, and clothing company run by two great guys.

Just bought a new pc with a 3080 in it. First one from Gigabyte was dead had to send that back they replaced it with a Asus Tuf. That one works flawless. According to the tech i was talking to during the RMA said they have had a Massive influx of the Gigabyte 3080 dying during shipping or shortly after they arrive in the customers hand. So stay away from gigabyte till they fix their shit.

10:30 as hilarious as I found that, it seems the deaf community will miss 2 minutes of your ranting lol

Closed captions are going haywire around 10:30 and forwards.

Subtitles are out of sync

You're missing the upstream supply chain and you're bitching about the wrong type of miners...well, actually the people/companies who do the "exploration" bit. LME Copper price has basically doubled over the last 12 months. It's "stabilized" around $9000USD/MT, right now (for how long?). Copper is required for all technology; I can't think of any industry that doesn't need copper in some way or another. Why has it spiked? Well, CoVID primarily--keeping miners out of the mines. A strong secondary reason--sourcing new copper deposits and opening new mines is down. That is something worth bitching about.

Interesting video. This is why a lot of hosting companies ended up as big sloppy conglomerates. It's cheaper to buy another company and yoink their datacenters than it is to plan and build out a new one. Or it used to be. I can't even begin to imagine the cost involved with building or expanding a fab facility with all that expensive gear.

i hate that you are right about it

means to do so PLEASE check out their stream, buy their album/merch, and support the bars & venues that host them. It’s been a rough year for us!

Things are about to get really tight for everyone. The world has so many problems it’s just untenable.

Maybe if we didn't throw semiconductors into LITERALLY EVERYTHING, maybe the shortage may not have been so bad.

The problem with GPU's is Crypto Mining and pandemic price gouging. When a 3080's ROI is 3 months, it's fueling more and more mining speculation. Don't BS us, it's the unforeseen demand variable.

Am I drunk or was it more than 6 minutes till he said supply chain? Supply wasn't weak, Demand wasn't esoteric, it was the chain that was weak. Supply chain could not adapt quickly enough because a whole lot of money is tied up in paying out to investors then to paying into things to grow.

Or maybe we need to build more Semiconducter facilities in the USA just like TWSC and Intel are doing. People buying more, sure. That will blip the system, but there are shortages across the board in all raw materials. Raw materials America doesn't make anymore. Do some critical thinking on this.

I work on firmware development for ECUs in cars. Our team is looking to change the microcontroller on which we worked for last 2 years to a different one, just because we won’t be able to get those in time. And we have a product release at the end of 2021. It’s crazy.

I think China is just pouring salt in the wound

Yes but we must focus on the REAL problem here. *The labor wages*

Out of curiosity, I looked on ebay to see what my 1080ti would fetch. It's about £560. I bought it 2nd hand at the peak of the last shortage for £700, more than 2 years ago. That is insane.

you starting to look like a messi.

Yes, keep banning Chinese tech companies...

What about Global Foundries, the former manufacturing arm of AMD? They are not in the high end game? And are cars using chips on the latest

Do people really think that factories can just magick up capacity within months or even weeks? This is bleeding edge tech, not your run out of mill paper clip factories. Are people really this entitled and stupid? Ahh yes they are.

Oh cmon.. gamers gamers. It's shit narrative. Commercialism mindset of the west. Are you people can't stay with your hardware for 1-2 years and you constantly need to buy newer shit?! That's complete waste of bullshit paper money.

I notice *a concentration of 'essential infrastructure' like semi-conductor factories on US territory* , following the steady rise of US AMD market shares and the decline of Israeli INTEL. And I take not of it as geopolitical signal - arguably, towards _a 'war economy'_ . www.scmp.com/tech/enterprises/article/3086998/how-covid-19-changes-geopolitics-semiconductor-supply-chains

"Fuck you, minors".... I'm sure that bit of video won't be used against you as a meme...I mean...this is the internetz. People are super nice here, right?

I not really a "big breasts" guy. Can't we just recall all the breast implants from women and make more video cards? My Thors and Marines in Stacraft never let me down.

Margaret Thatcher would have loved you.

So miners and scalpers and kids wanting to upgrade their Dell is the reason... mkay lol

Lots of great info, and you are scratching the surface of the real, underlying problem... Demand! Crystal ball says that when you print trillions of dollars, it will devalue the currency, leading to inflation, and at onset, lead to frivolous spending on things like fps... Dopes.

"Now for the GPU's - It's the minors" I knew that those fortnite cards would bring a market crisis through their moms credit cards.

But have you ever thought about the shortage could be because of the Suez canal blocking?

I doubt the fun's over. Just imagine what the demand forecasts look like after this. A situation that everyone mostly agrees is temporary (perhaps a new floor for the number of office drones freed from the cubicle) spikes demand. Do you even want to meet that demand? Worst case, you're just left with a ton of excess capacity and waiting for the next pandemic to make it make sense, hopefully while that new capacity is still technologically relevant. I mean, yeah. There's a bunch of other economic ripples from this that look like they might stick around a while, but this? I don't know, but I'm doubtful.

The ccp are also buying huge swathes of semi conductors for their hypersonic missile program.

Wanted to built one myself but nothing decent to find within my budget so I went for a pre-built. I know it's a no go and the steal won't make me utterly happy but the market forced me to buy a brandnew damned Dell Xps with a cursed i9-11900K, a 1 TB M.2 PCIe NVMe and a RTX 3060 Ti for the price of one single, secondhand rtx 3070! 1500 eurobucks in total that is! I Hope the thing won't explode since it's underpowered with 500 watt. Regrets will be felt in 2023 when the prices has plummet. But life is too short to not have some pasta yet. Coroner-19 does the world no good!

Laptop rout it is

I never knew I was living in Iraq although I was there in 2013. I am currently living under The Great Dynasty of Great Britain And Ireland.

I'm not going to buy 3rd gen. Fuck it. I'll wait until 4th gen.

It's very simple. People used their gubmint checks to buy RTX 3060 instead of buying food and wiped out supply

Let's force everyone to choose between Smart Phones & Laptops & Desktops

Linus... We here in Germany are in Lockdown since November 2020. I would LOVE to spend money on local businesses, but our gourverment is stupid as hell and has no other solution then "Lockedown" all the time. And everybody sees, that this strategy does not work..... So I REALLY need a RTX NOW! ;)

I read that ASML makes the machines that TSMC use to make chips. They were told to ramp down production before Apple gobbled up their capacity.

I'm here only to give you like. FU*K YOU MINERS!!!

Toyota isn't affected by the chip shortage because they stockpiled. You should really research what happened with Huawei and how much foundry resources they booked out in advance of the embargoes going into affect.

Are you going to do a new 1500 dollar comp build. Sigh, I was finally looking forward to buying a new pc since I gave mine away long ago. Hmm... Samsung... I really hate that company. I really hate the Genghis Khan Finances of asia, Fuck those people just steal and make crap... My reference is in history of korea electronic and rag trade of the asiatics under the unified japan model of the prefecture that aggressive took over global share while utilizing its Han dynasty babylon shops/ er temples to disrupt other localized or regional nations, whilst also doing and betraying Germany to some regard, so yeah, business as usual, using other groups to eliminate their problems da consolidate over the market, same as Ram design, or the micro-processor out of California sold to sony, etc... just like apple using 40 year old de classified tech to the market place... beginign to see the capital abuse market more then the national or paitalism actual market... which forces dependence, which often how tributary system of imperial ask worked, they force nations to compitualte after they udenrmine their self autonomy, China, Textiles. Technically ram is textile also... yep.. who cares about law, certainly undermining life of destroy it doesn't seem to be a thing in the asiatics, that entire peninsula when asia in classic times was a tiny little country, acted and consolidated power over vastregiosn with the same type of warfare model of undermining, They did the same thing in the BC state once in power, they only hire their collective unless you interbreed with them, its not that there isn't money and they also collapse sectors in the public office to sell it private and then act in the use of money to gain ratio, so basically pilling for fiat money, rather than gold, so people are not dying having gold removed like with the roosevelt nonsense, but it certainly seems a civislatnion is being quite bombarded by the lawless brigade and its strange sentiment that someone in a governing system states they can act and o no wrong in their actions , Icould go into the governor general utilizing the tax dollars to give money to foreigners for free housing and education, while then using the migrant waves and india to give these people authoritiative position over the canadian realm, all this came form the bolsheviks and the oppression of women victim narrative for 120 years. Weakening the positions of males in the western society, because these groups hate men that call out bullshit and state no... and will kill another human that crosses their abusive line. How they get around this is micro manage aggression into the people why we see shooters and men in society rampaging because the governing system is paid to disrupt and bully individuals its not really community, and its a systematic type of warfare.. The idiots invovled do more damage for simple money to buy foreign power goods they serve rather than actual building or serving the nation at hand. So yeah .. even so much as asia, with their bold statements of we come to take what Christ had given to you because we deserve it, which is the same sentiment of the jim Krom tribe in the melanisians place from the ww2 when americans (conglomerate of natives) stopped and boxed in japans aggression. Certainly a strange world... of eradication and excessive nonsense. I and heavy on national extremism against all asians since they all and any other human that carry ideals form their other area,s since they operate to steal and serve not the land or value but simply the imperial master... their means of dissipation and money nonsense is really strange, which impeded all the active men and works post ww2 and on ward, simply by control gin the finances over countries and areas whilst raping and pillaging al the natural resources to build their glass homes.. since they didn't provide assets but undermined it and they utilize the psycho breeds like the Foggers offspring that are simply murderers for hire.. A strange world.. I wouldn't say england was an ice place either with its inventions and also links to the same financial heresy like with bit coin. Currency of universe is energy and electricity, so basically the unit of work, Our work is judged by man power, and men and women use these as a ratio to the work needed nd means of forward money is a relation simply of that work to trade for food, but there is a donor system of honesty behind it. IE the person that is gathering the food, is participating in the building of the nation and its movement of people an important job, thus the aggricutlural council, these outlets across canada, were stripped cleaned and replicated in asia. So yeah.. I have never seen a more fucked up thing on this planet then how asia operates. It strips anderaases nations by taking good ideas nd then destroying them where they found them.. is that like some serious fucked up hatred? anyways... I just wanted to know if you were going to do another cheap mans build.. hmm

Joe Biden = Gamer Question Mark?

Everything I have found is that scalpers bought several processors and other components at the normal retail then marked them up some $500 or more. That is Amazon, Ebay and every other high end market.

I have forceen this shit and started building a gaming pc in january of 2020 and finished it by summer and build a pretty discent pc for 800 bucks ... now i cant buy a damn graphics card that is weaker then mine lmao

Instituting a hefty tax on the selling of GPU's will greatly reduce the shenanigans. Mandatory reporting. Also the government should keep track of anyone hoarding GPU's, etc.

Congratulation, you are a prophet!

at the time of posting there is something going on with the English subtitles at 10:38 ....

i just purchased a cyberpower complete system on bestbuy for $1300 because it had the video card I want and hell the specs of everything else were decent.

I don't see the problem. It is profitable for manufacturers to sell video cards to miners. But they also have a reputation. They can contact companies that assemble computers and *give them quotas for the purchase of video cards, with the condition that they sell them together with the computer.* For example, 25% of video cards are sold with computers and 75% separately for upgrading old computers. Or 50/50, if it works out even 90% / 10% . The manufacturer will still sell whatever it can produce, but will improve its reputation.

Sources please

I don't really need the latest greatest GPU - I need something that would drive 4K@60 for desktop use mainly which GT7XX that seem to be the only things available "new" doesn't. Maybe there's a hole in the market for something like 10nm RX550 (could be like 2.8X-ish yield form the same amount of silicon)

Ok. So as to the GPU shortage issues. Say that you are right and the demand for them is much higher than the makers thought. Why, almost a year later, is it still impossible to find ANY gpus that are under $1000? I am using a GTX 1050ti. I am only using it because there is nothing else available and the ones that ARE available are waaaaaay out of my price range. And at this point, anything would be an improvement. I have already had to replace the fans on this one 3 times already. But even the fans are getting hard to find. There may be gpus out there but the prices are too damned high for normal people to afford anymore. The way I heard it, the makers like Envidea are phasing out the 10 series in favor of the new RTX line up. That they quit making anything that is in the 10s so that people would be forced to buy the high priced RTX cards. At this point, I don't know what to believe and to tell you the truth, I have a feeling that at the end of the day, it all comes down to the makers just wanting more and more money from us.

Wasnt it very obvious that with raytracing going mainstream with consoles it would lead to a quadruple demand on RTX GPUs? Personaly i burnt my hands on various temporary technologies like LCD-》LED minidisc-》mp3 for example. So i skiped the 2000 generation and kept my 1080ti. Now i wanted a 3080 but the price went from 800$ to 2000$...

Damn bruh 3 to 4 quarters? A full fucking year!? Then another 3 to 6 months until there's a chance I can walk into a... shit forgot, Frys went out of business months ago. FML Ok sooooo maybe a year and a half before I can get one on newegg

Anyone notice the Closed Captions Announcement at 10:34 ?

I can wait 🥰

WTF that caption. LOL

Plan in 5 year plans PC Master Race. :P

FUBU TV LOL SO FANY FUBU .. OR VIROZON OR SPRING .... COME ON MEN . lol don't even care about the name or the image or their own promo ... if he collects $ 100 to $ 200 a month fore one house or apartemen fora all tv cabel internet and phone maxi pax in tha usa... You still realize how much money !!! those companies absolutely actually swims in money !!! each manager in his own pool behind the house .. if it offers at least a gigapit net spped ( MAXI 100MB REAL ) on those packages and if they now go to 10 gigabite per second ( in realliti 1g 1000 MB REAL MAX ) who will manage to make 500,000 new subscribers on new subscriptions of 10 giga ... it will be worth for them they wil deserve it . it to take home with pool in florida or california or can in lasvegas ... anyway in tha sunny states !! but to live your life you also put money in the image in the logos in the name in the advertisement ok wft .... because the names and logos are a bit embarrassing a bit more . may opinion

I get it... but still it does not makes sense why I cant even buy GTX 10XX or RTX 20XX and neither AMD GPUs... I was checking GPU price of GTX 1060 which I had 3 years ago before I got RTX 2070 (I needed to sell my PC becuase I am relocating to different country and system was too heavy to carry around) so some semiconductor shortage has nothing to do with people selling GTX 1060 for 700 USD and RTX 2070 for 1300 USD... USED... I cant even get my hands on GTX 9XX series since people ask like 400 USD for GTX 980... which is old used card... CPUs? well intels locked CPUs like i5 9400 are being sold for 400+ USD aswell... but I know how to trick the system... since I need a PC... and I have a laptop with decent i5 which is also locked but its decent I can buy crappy dell optilex with i7 or something similar with only onboard 8th or 9th gen intel CPU which has decent onboard GPU and survive with that for some time... as long as it can run Overwatch and few other games, I should be fine... no NVENC encoder for streaming, no streaming at all, no animation creations no ultimate Asseto Corsa with steering wheel setup... But some FPS games at 30 FPS or replaying older Assassins creed games at 30 FPS is still good enough... these times are like a time machine for me since I can play only old games so I have already finished a bunch of games I havent played for years but I remember them games to be long and awesome but after playing new games, it feels weird but atleast I still enjoy the story... I just hope miners stop buying gaming GPUs and stick with mining things like ANT Miner or whatnot and stop bothering us gamers and content creators...

"Majority of GPUs are currently ending up in gamer hands". Yeah, sure.

I guess there's a demand issue when scalpers bot buy rooms full of cards to sell them at ridiculous prices on ebay.

honestly. you are not short of silicon. you are short of morals in the manufacturers like scamvidia.

$310 for gigabyte radeon rx 5500 xt 8 GB $375 for Radeon Rx 580 8GB I can give you my source and prices for $500 . By paying me this ill give you the direct source of how i get above prices. I get it from South America and no i will not let you know where I get them from for free. Nothing in life is free

that's because the crypto mining vs. cost tom mine is really not worth it. I mean, it's still slightly profitable after factoring in the huge cost of electricity and equipment, but come on. I'm only considering the more well known crypto like bitcoin, Eth, litecoin, etc.. maybe there are underlying alt coin markets you can mine for specifically that Im not considering? (I doubt it though)

The used market will swing back before new stuff gets close to MSRP. It might be 6 months to a year but a lot of people buying are gonna realize they dont need that GPU and would rather have money.

You and everyone predicted this...

I'm a local business! ....okay I'm a local content creator. ...fine I'm just a ISbothsr.

nearing the end of the video, the subtitles just go into left field

I work for a supplier to the auto industry that is also effected by this as well. Our product doesn't use the semi conductor chips but our products are not needed as much because like you said the assembly line must halt.

Linus has to be pretty dumb if he think miners and scalpers arent the main issue here.

Also, you heard about scalpers epidemic? Just look at the facebook market place you'll find a lot of insanely priced 30XX cards :')

All I heard was Linus saying fook minors.

I picked the worst year to finally decide to buy parts for my build. Got my cpu, motherboard, and ram on the way and I'll probably be getting everything else minus GPU over the next couple months. Technically I'll be able to boot the computer with the onboard graphics but man will it be depressing to have like $2k into the build and no GPU in sight :(

Why can't we just go back to cars that don't have computers in them?

way to throw pusle way under the bus

We need to flip the K shape recovery if we dont want to live in 1984 AI edition. Supporting local economy before it disapear totally from the planet.

4:18 I'd just like to remind everyone that f***ing minors is illegal in most countries.

I still use 8years old laptop and I love it.

Now is the time for not overclocking cpu and gpu, when the replacement is out of stock in the shop! And to do dustcleaning once in a while, with air on a can. Not the vacuumcleaner!!! (static electricity is bad for pc's)

Lucky Canada, I'm in the hospitality industry in the US and we closed for one month at the start and that was it. A couple more weeks and I'll have my second dose of the vaccine so that will ease my anxieties a bit luckily.

It's also true that those(professionals) working remotely are less likely to catch Covid19 compared to those, who have to (work)- factory worker, delivery person, meat factory etc.

Don't buy any new phones or laptop or gpu. Problem solved. But crypto miners are buying everything up.

The semiconductors are in our vaccines.😂

Once all the furlough schemes and stimulus checks stops, no one will be able to afford this stuff anyway because there's going to be a global depression

Anyone else notice the amount of bots repeating the same comment about the K curve?

I was abt to build a pc
