Nvidia reportedly stockpiling one million next-generation graphics cards

Aside from that, it looks like NVIDIA can expect some sort of relief with the inventory as China’s Sichuan province has been hit by major flooding and the region alone accounts for almost 70% of the mining operations. This led to major drops in the global mining hashrate as several mining setups have been affected and severely damaged. Now, one thing to consider is that currently, all major Taiwanese based graphics card manufacturers were expecting a 40% drop in shipments but this could change things for them. Also, a 20% drop in price was expected since anywhere other than China, the cryptomarket is declining and lots of used graphics cards are now entering the market at really cheap prices.

One of the many affected mining operations by the recent flooding in China. These mining firms may opt to purchase new setups which will spur a rise in graphics card demand and that may ease up some inventory issues for NVIDIA. As soon as inventory returns to safe levels, we can see NVIDIA fast forwarding the launch of their next-gen GeForce gaming cards.
