The stock situation of Nvidia is still relatively better compared to AMD, so they aren't going to loose any business to them. The demand is actually very high, people are buying anything that they can get their hands on & so Nvidia could be trying to capitalize on that. There is no reason for them to not be able to increase volumes of their product as it is on Samsung fab & production has been going on for at least 5-6 months now... had the situation been any different... less demand or more supply from AMD... Nvidia would have managed to produce enough cards some how. Here I am not trying to blame Nvidia as I am not sure what's in it for them since they would be selling the chips to AIBs at fixed prices or if it is for the AIBs.How so? If people can't buy Nvidia cards and their prices increase or aren't in stock I think that they will go for whatever is available and that will be AMD cards.
It is simply, why would I as a business bother creating double products with half the price when I can simply get away with half the products for double the price as they would anyway get sold out. Once demand goes down a little, the production will miraculously start returning to normal levels.
