The Ongoing GPU shortage situation is a sore spot for gaming PC enthusiasts, especially since supplies might not increase until 2023. Sadly, a bunch of graphics card crooks just made the situation a whole lot worse, as an entire truckload of EVGA RTX 3000 series cards have been stolen during transit.
In a recent forum post, EVGA revealed that its stock was pinched from a truck "en route from San Francisco to our Southern California". The notice also states that the company is aware of each graphics card taken during the incident, with individual values ranging from $329.99 to $1,959.99 MSRP.
Naturally, this suggests that GPUs from across the entire Nvidia RTX 3000 series are now missing from the supply chain, and many of the cards will likely end up on the reseller market. As a result, EVGA is advising shoppers to ask for proof of purchase before buying any related products on the second-hand market. The notice is also quick to note that it's a civil offence to “buy or receive” the company's swindled stock, so you might want to think twice before you go searching on the likes of Craigslist.
