I am not hopeful about any increase in stock despite this news. I recall that Nvidia decided to restart the production of Turing cards because of the low supply of Ampere GPUs. So by reducing RTX 2060 production, aren't we back to the same spot? Only this time we have Ampere cards that addresses the high, mid and lower end.
Having said that, I do observe that the availability is starting to get a tiny bit better because prices are way too high for gamers to want to splurge on, and miners are sitting on the fence because of high volatility in crypto prices and also the existence of LHR cards.
I personally think that
part of this shortage was probably caused deliberately by nVidia, to try and force people onto their "Geforce Now" subscription plan, I suppose it never occurred to them, that not everyone has stable or high broadband connections.
But yes, all the other things are also true, miners, scalpers etc.
The scalpers are merely there because of high demand from miners, gamers too, but miners take the cake, I have seen so many farms, 1x person owning more than 100x RTX3000 series GPU's, there are thousands of these nutjobs.
Since LHR, I have also seen stocks slightly improving, but the prices are too high for gamers, proving again, that miners' claims of "we are not responsible for this shortage" to be false. I frequent the ETHMining subreddit and a forum locally that are full of them, some are selling their rigs now and as the LHR really is unpalatable to them, even with the market rising a little, it hasn't given a major shift up towards profitability, most newbie miners found out quickly, that moving of ETH mining, doesn't solve the issue of profitability, since the majority of miners mine ETH and when everyone moves to the next more profitable coin, the payout is far far less than they would get in ETH. Also in July, there is the case of EIP1559, reducing profit even further. Then there is also the now released Innosilicon miner that mines 2 Giga Hashes, about the same as 32x 3080's further increasing the difficulty level and reducing profits.
I have read more on these things than I would have liked to, but one needs to know and understands one's enemy to know how to defeat them, what I mean by that is, they are panicking and selling their "mines", don't buy them just yet, in short order, they will then let the prices fall very fast as they try to unload in order to make back their money, since they bought them for 3-4x MSRP, forcing them to sell at the original or lower MSRP to gamers, make them feel the hurt, so they don't do this crap again in the future.
