Nvidia graphics card shortage is predicted at least until the third quarter of 2021
A new prediction about the state of the video card market has appeared on the web. And there is no optimism in it: according to the resource DigiTimes, which refers to a source in the supply chain of components, the shortage of video cards will last at least until the third quarter of this year. In other words, it is unlikely that the crisis will be resolved before the beginning of autumn.
The deficit is due to many factors – and a low percentage of good GPUs in production, and a lack of components and memory, and, naturally, high demand. This forecast only applies to Nvidia graphics cards, but judging by the latest data, things are not going well for AMD either. For example, only a few thousand of the newest Redon RX 6700 XT are promised for the entire European Union.
The shortage means that the cost of video cards will either remain at the current level, or will grow. But here it all depends on the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as on the enthusiasm of the miners.

Is it time to finally retire video cards with 2-3 GB of memory? Halo Infinite no longer runs on these adapters
Video cards with a small amount of memory can sometimes still perform well in modern games, if we are talking about the flagship solutions of yesteryear. However, now there is at least one game where accelerators with less than 4 GB of memory simply will not work. This is Halo Infinite.
A fresh patch for this game now simply does not allow you to run it on a PC with video cards that have less than 4 GB of memory. At the same time, such changes are not mentioned in the description of the patch.
It can be noted that the requirement in the form of at least 4 GB of memory has always been in the game, but usually such requirements are conditional. In particular, Halo Infinite ran on inappropriate 3D maps prior to the patch. For example, there are a lot of videos on the Web where the game is tested, including on a GeForce GTX 1050 with 2 GB of memory, which is quite enough to play even in Full HD with minimal graphics quality settings. But there is a much more powerful GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, which feels quite tolerable even in more demanding games.
There is a possibility that the restriction is just a mistake and will be removed soon. But not at all a fact.
