Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[TNA]

Am I missing something? People here keeps discrediting WCCFTech, right... Some posts an article then gets all hyped. Rinse and repeat.

Lol. So true.

Rumours about very limited supply, could this be due to early 7nm, the hype train arriving at platforms 1, 2 and 3, is coming in sideways.

DigiTimes, citing "sources from the upstream supply chain", is reporting an expected decrease in graphics card pricing for July. This move comes as a way for suppliers to reduce the inventory previously piled in expectation of continued demand from cryptocurrency miners and gamers in general. It's the economic system at work, with its strengths and weaknesses: now that demand has waned, somewhat speculative price increases of yore are being axed by suppliers to spur demand. This also acts as a countermeasure to an eventual flow of graphics cards from ceasing-to-be miners to the second-hand market, which would further place a negative stress on retailers' products.

Alongside this expected 20% retail price drop for graphics cards, revenue estimates for major semiconductor manufacturer TSMC and its partners is being revised towards lower than previously-projected values, as demand for graphics and ASIC chips is further reduced. DigiTimes' sources say that the worldwide graphics card market now has an inventory of several million units that is being found hard to move (perhaps because the products are already ancient in the usual hardware tech timeframes), and that Nvidia has around a million GPUs still pending logistical distribution. Almost as an afterthought, DigiTimes also adds that NVIDIA has decided to postpone launch of their next-gen products (both 12 nm and then, forcibly, 7 nm) until supply returns to safe levels.

They may has well bypass 11\12nm and go for 7nm with all the indecisions and delays and trying to get every last penny for what is now old tech Gpu`s

So, 5% off prices at OcUK then...

It’ll be new stock that’s discounted. They can’t sell inventory at 20% less if they purchased at the higher price.

Lenovo representative confirms the NVIDIA GeForce GTX1180, coming to Legion Desktop PCs in Fall 2018

“As well as along with up to GTX 1060 at this time but time to market with NVIDIA 11 series up to 1180 down the road.

Much like the tower where the 530 series would just have the red LEDs to the 360 motherboard along with i7 up to 32 megabytes of RAM (Editor: I’m pretty sure the rep meant gigabytes and not megabytes) up to 1060 at this time, of course, with the NVIDIA 11 series time to market later this Fall would get those GPUs as well.”

Do you forget that sometimes the naming on the mobile GPUs changes? There was a GTX8xx series only for laptops some time ago.
So I wouldn't hold breath.

They cannot jump like that. If they try to do so, means there there is going to be no new NV GPU until summer 2020. And given all 7nm capacity at TSMC is booked by Apple and AMD also, if articles are correct.

Pretty sure I recall Gibbo saying in the past that the manufacturers can credit or something so he can lower prices on old stock.

That sounds about right.

If they do that’d be fabulous.

I read somewhere Nvidia have like 300k 1080Ti's sitting unsold, I very much doubt they will release anything until they are sold.

 

[AMDPower]

Nobody is going to buy them at these silly prices with now semi confirmed rumours of 1180 release so close, unless they knock off 30%-40% off the price. You would have to be mad to buy 1080ti now with 1180 so close to release.

 

[WantoN]

I’d happily buy a 1080ti at less than £450, but the chances of that are slim to none.

 

[kazuya1337]

I doubt we will see a 1180 until 2019 Q1 at the very least

I don't believe it. This is the most expensive consumer graphics card and 300,000 sounds a huge, insane large number.

300,000 1080Tis would be 0.2 Billion pounds in inventory gathering dust. Not a chance.

They was a story that an OEM partner returned 300,000 GPUs but I doubt they’ll be 1080Tis.

 

[MissChief]

Chances are prices will come down by 10-15%, but even then that's still a decent wedge off a 1080ti, could be over £100 on the top end models and smaller drops. Could mean a £330 1070, £380 1070ti, £420 1080?

If gibbo does a 1080Ti special for £400 I would grab one

come back for that special offer in September.... 2019
