These are strange (and very frustrating) times for anyone looking to buy a new video card, and it appears that Nvidia has decided to partially solve the problem by relaunching the GTX 1050 Ti – a Pascal-based video card that stopped selling two years ago behind.
Among supply problems due to the Covid-19 pandemic, TSMC, the semiconductor foundry that Nvidia uses for its GPUs, under increasing pressure from other customers, and cryptocurrencies once again on the rise – leading to many miners buying in mass the little stock of existing GPU is – it has become almost impossible to get the new graphics cards from the Ampere RTX 3000 series from Nvidia.
