I think we’ll see one earlier. They’ll have stopped manufacturing the old units some time ago, which means finite stock, and bulk orders at discount prices (hence the drop in prices).

According to SemiAccurate, Nvidia have overproduced the 10 series and have significant stocks that need to be sold.

The thing is with SemiAccurate, they are always completely inaccurate and are trying to lower Nvidia share value. Remember all the rubbish that was regurgitated surrounding the release of Pascal, how Pascal was going to be 6 months behind Vega and have all sorts of performance issues and that Vega cure cancer and save puppies form burning buildings? None of that really transpired at all!

Nvidia may or may not have an over-filled supply chain. They certainly were struggling to meet demand and may have tried to resolve the shortage and got unlucky with the timing of the mining bust. But without a reliable source that is all pie on the sky.

So if they have an over supply, shouldn't the cards be cheaper?

But this is Nvidia who refuse to lower prices ever.

Aftermarket GPUs are a different story.

I mentioned this in the other thread. Since nvidia don't seem to be trying to move stock quickly, the more liekly scenario is that there is no over filled supply chain and there is either no delay, or the delay is probably soemthign else like memory supply.

No, nvidia will always set a price that maximizes profit. If they have over supply issue then they need to shift inventory, especially if they are now stockpiling Turing.

If there is an oversupply issue that is serious enough then Pascal prices will drop sharply, and while we wait for Turing they will be building supply so there wont be a paper launch but a hard launch with volume shipping.

I haven’t seen anything particularly concrete on this but I’d be interested to hear more.

Allegedly Nvidia has had 300,000 boards returned by an OEM, if true this might effect launch times somewhat and my original stance. Is that what you were referring to?

I’ll try to get a better source.

EDIT: Plenty of news on this now, but nothing from a news source I particularly trust. Quick google will have the usuals, plus google news and CNN, all with stories on this. Seems likely, see you next year Nvidia

So there’s a ‘reliable’ rumour that the 1180 is launching late July, with 8GB of Ram and an RRP from $720from AIBs...

If only 8gb I will just go for the 1170/2070 and wait for the Ti.

burtie · 23 Jun 2018 at 12:59

$720 = £820

sorry wrong forum :confused:

Not sure about that, but will be over priced for xx80 part for sure.

My plan exactly, though the 4gb on my 980 has been fine, I plan to go UW or 4K.

Yeah. If one plans too keep the card more than 2 years, I think 8gb will not be be optimal at 4K.

I just want some new tech asap. Even a 1170 would be nice to have until the xx80ti comes out.

MissChief · 23 Jun 2018 at 14:09

Unless you're playing at 4K then 8GB VRAM is more than enough. And even then there are very few games that will use more than 8GB.

FoxEye · 23 Jun 2018 at 14:28

£700 for an xx80. LOLs. No thanks, nV.

Also no thanks to a potentially £500 xx70.

The market is well and truly rogered due to no competition.

How long do you keep your cards for?

Wasn’t that long ago that 8GB of RAM was all you’d ever need.

The chap you quoted specifically said 4K and ‘not optimal’ for the long term.

I so expected that to be a rick roll.

Don't we normally get close to 1:1 $:£ so somewhere between £700 and £750?

That said 8gb is a mild disappointment. That means no bump in ram in over 2 years and a drop from the 1080ti which I think is a 1st isn't it? (780ti -980 3gb-4gb, 980ti-1080 6gb to 8 GB)

I question the date tho. Surely if only a month away there should be images of hardware leaks etc?. The cards should in theory me rolling off a production line somewhere now ?
