Production delays
I've run into some production delays (another toasted video card). Ordered a replacement that was supposed to have arrived on the 22nd, but was just shipped out day before yesterday.
Apparently because of the Corona virus there's a shortage of computer chips? Not exactly sure why, but I have a sneaky feeling that arguing with Nvidia isn't going to get me anywhere.
Been running the render box pretty well much 24/7, but missing one (of two) video cards has really slowed things down.
Release has been delayed until Thursday (May 6th).
Will have previews for the new release posted Late Monday or Early Tuesday, depending on when I finally receive the replacement video card.
And ya, before any asks I've already ordered, received and installed another 3 cooling fans in the render box. Hopefully that will solve the overheating problems once and for all.

Well... I have an idea. Why don't they make cars without some of those chips? I don't really need a gps, On-Star, HUD display, auto-parking, Keyless entry and all that other junk. And drop the price by $5k :)
There is a shortage because the factories making most of the major semiconductors in electronics mostly shutdown and there are just no parts to make chips in major industries right now. Even car makers are running low on the chips they need for vehicles. That and all the damned bitcoin miners buying the few cards that exist.
