CUEGIS CONCEPT:

Change: As we can see, due to the changes produced by the pandemic, the supply of graphics cards was greatly scarce, affecting the large computer market worldwide. We can also see another change emerged from the reforms, and new laws imposed by the Asian governments, which allowed the prices of graphics cards to go down.

Recommended solutions:

Nvidia, day by day invests in market research and research to be able to release new products to the market, however this is not an action, very positive for consumers, since people do not have enough money or economy to afford new graphics cards every year.

Some recommendations to solve the problems now would be to focus the money of the financiers and investors, in looking for the resources to be able to increase the production of graphic cards at the national level, instead of investing in new products which people will find it difficult to buy.

Look for new materials that suppliers have available, the ones that present compatibility to elaborate the fundamental internal components of the graphic cards, allowing an acceleration in the production of these.
