Nvidia unable to supply chips
If you look at Newegg.com every single NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT and 7900GTX is “Out of Stock”. We have been wondering what the deal was, and it looks like The Inq has been wondering also.
There seem to be a few 7900GTs and GTXs kicking around in the channel but, wherever you look, you’re far more likely to see an ‘Out of Stock’ sign. Certainly here in the UK, Scan and Dabs don’t have any. In the US NewEgg and Buy are out of stock. After the firm’s inability to deliver at Christmas time, serious questions must be asked about the firm’s ability to deliver at all. It could be that Nvidia has introduced an artificial shortage to help retailers get rid of old 7800s. There are certainly plenty of deep cuts in price on both the 7800GT and GTX available. But, if it is an artificial shortage, that would still draw some serious questions about Nvidia’s sales expectations versus the reality.
