NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I'm expecting closer to 40% and it will be expensive. Everybody will moan about the prices like they usually do yet they'll buy one anyway, just like they usually do. Nvidia's market share will grow just like it usually does. Business as usual with a new Nvidia release.

One generation= "usually"?

That lack of generational progress that Turing brought us at various price points was unprecedented as far as I can recall.

What is this sorcery you speak of?
Nvidia is still just a gaming company
Ray Tracing is found in all the games now
25% performance uplifts are the pinnacle of performance
And, if you aren't happy with your 3070 just sell it and pay the diff. for a 3070 ti super.

:D

And still Nvidia ended up buying lots of 7nm production capacity from TSMC.
And 18 months isn't long time for process to mature for huge high performance parts.
Pushing too big chip size on not mature enough node has caused hiccups for both GPU makers...
With that big usually meaning around 500 mm2.
Special uses where you can charge thousands is lot more forgiving than consumer market, where yields matter lot.

They ae using TSMC for their compute cards. Samsung for their consumer cards. That's the latest info we have.

And even if they were using 7nm for all their cards it would still be fine. the 7nm process is very mature now. Next year production starts on the 5nm process.
 
no more news until Nvidia has gathered all your financial data from the GeForce experience, along with credit checks and modelled the optimum time to brainwash you with the performance of unsupported features on 99% of games ;)
 
Hopefully Nvidia just doesn't want a bunch of $1200 2080ti's on web pages right next to new cards that are faster *and* cheaper.

This is what I would do if I didn't have a lot of margin for discounts and wanted to minimize losses.

Turn off supply and hope they get sold before the new stuff arrives.

I’d be surprised but then if supply runs out prices may go up. Will be a very short window though for price gougers.

I don't see how this would make sense for retailers as it would potentially leave them with old stock once the new stuff arrives, making it even more difficult to shift the stock, but who knows, milkers will milk :P

Be funny to see the 2080ti get a price hike as it's already stupidly priced as it is. Somehow i can't see people lining up to pay even higher prices for them. And it's not like people who want sli will be willing to pay those prices as in the past as it's a dead tech at this point. So i hope they're happy with inventory gathering dust as that's all will happen.

They might actually be forced to slash the prices on them for once or just be stuck with them.
