Japanese publication ITmedia PC User writes that several PC hardware stores in Tokyo’s famous Akihabara Electric Town district as well as other locations are experiencing shortages of Nvidia’s high-end Lovelace cards. “The stock of cards equipped with GeForce RTX 4090/4080 is thinning across the city,” it writes.
“The demand for RTX 4090 has been constant, but it’s becoming a bit difficult to get in stock,” said one shop clerk, who added that backorders for models priced in the 250,000 yen [$1,670] range are longer.
