The fact that we have to talk about 2022 for things to become even bearable, let alone good, says a lot about the situation... I mean, we're still not even a third into 2021, and we're already looking forward to the next year!

I suppose the 'nice' thing is that the prices are so unbearably high that I don't really even get tempted, so while the situation is painful (I have a choice between a quiet GTX 770 and a ridiculously loud GTX 970), there's not much temptation to resist.

Yea pretty much.

Thanks to the water shortage in Taiwan and Covid still being a thing, it's gonna be a long time before everything balances out as sad as it is. Hopefully no ones GPUs fail until we get over the big hump. Least when the next gen comes along, it really will be the greatest generational leap for many because of the fact that it's so hard to get anything this year loll.

 Hopefully, the next GPU is assembled in the US (or Israel... or Germany... or Russia... or Mainland China... or freaking Costa Rica, they all have Intel fabs) and we can forget this happened. 

Like, if I was Intel, I'd think of finding a way to get my Israeli staff to put in as much work as they can given Israel is already mostly immunized. OTOH, the WB isn't and... yeah, it could still be a hassle.
