NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Don't get people's urgency for these cards. Yes, I have waited for them too, but we have no next gen titles yet.

Offering an extra £200 to bag one instead of waiting a few weeks (if stock dries up) isn't a big deal...

I'm happy to wait until early November to get one just before CyberPunk.

And if you still cant buy one in early November and Cyberpunk is out and its looking unlikely that stock shortages will clear up until January, I bet you would pay the £200 premium if you saw one in stock somewhere?
 
Thought people may be interested in this - copied from Nvidia on Reddit where they answered selected questions:

"How do you foresee the supply situation? Do you believe that you will have enough supply in the market to satisfy the demand that you're forecasting?"

"As you know, we take a great deal at trying to take care of our channel, and we wanted to make sure that we had sold through prior product before we rolled out some new generation products at certain price points. With Ampere, the channel's healthy and the business is strong. And we are prepared for a pretty healthy cadence of rolling out new devices. I think you'll see Ampere's cadence of new parts to be faster than what you saw on Turing."

"whenever we launch a new product and as compelling as Ampere is, there will no doubt be shortage of product. We just can't -- you can't ramp a fab to follow that front load of demand of new buyers that quickly. So that said, we have a great relationship with Samsung. The product is in volume production. We've begun shipping to our channel partners, and you will start -- you will see volume product hitting the shelf starting on the dates that we've announced. And it will -- naturally, as the entire supply chain ramps continue to grow as we get toward the holiday season."
 
I can't see mining being as big a thing as it was a few years ago - you have to have *really* cheap electricity to make it profitable now, like free electricity, and even then you're lucky to be able to get more than a few pence a day out of a top end card.

At UK domestic energy prices you'd be lucky to get 50p a day mining ether with a 2080Ti at the moment, which means you might pay off the card in about six years. If a new 3 series is w times as fast, that's still a couple of years to break even.

The days of everyone and their dog cashing in on the mining craze are over. (though yes, you might find some large mining outfits snap up quite a few, if the power/hashrate figures are good)

I doubt stock is gonna be that bad.

How was it like for the 2080 series?

stock was short for 3 months and everybody agreed that was an overpriced card that didnt really deliver the performance gains it should have.

I cancelled my EVGA FTW order after 3 months as I was fed up waiting.

So since the whole world has gone moist with the performance of the 3000 series, unless Nvidia has made shed loads of them, I can easily see shortages for 3 months until January.
 
Potential stock shortages is the main reason I didn't preemptively sell my 1080 Ti. The price is holding up relatively well.

Prices iof the currency has risen recently which will help that and at triple mining and your quoted 50p per day thats still £45 per month.

But the issue isnt really people buying up stock in the UK for mining, its 1000s getting bought up by farms elsewhere in the world which then leads to not many landing on UK shores for sale. Ethereum prices have soared by 60% recently so I reckon you would make around £2.36 per day atm so £70 per month.

So a 3080 would pay for itself in a year.
 
I can see these cards scaling really well for mining applications.

In which case they could be nearly twice as profitable as Turing. Combine that with a lower upfront cost as well.
