NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Catch 22 for existing Turing owners as if prices drop significantly for next gen then second hand prices of current gen will tank hard

Second hand? I’m going to give mine to my kids if the next gen is worth upgrading to.

Yep. Would be ludicrous if they increase prices again. Hell would be even if they maintain them imo.

Now that they have milked people to pay for their “10 years R&D on RTX” to beta test it, they should price it like Pascal!

Nvidia's market share was at 66.3% during the time of Pascal. RTX helped their market share rise to 77.3% in Q1 2019. Why would Nvidia lower prices if sales are increasing? The fault is with the consumer for encouraging the price rises. If People moved to AMD, then the prices will fall to the Pascal days.

Pascal was not much better on launch to be honest with the introduction of founders edition, 1070 for example was £450 on launch, same price as 2070/super.

Now Maxwell prices... those were good.

Haven't checked the figures so not saying it's the case, but just pointing out that increased market share does not necessarily equal increasing sales. IF the market as a whole has contracted (eg after the crypto boom) then despite having a higher market share the sales could in fact be the same or indeed lower.

There has also been an absolute lack of competition in the mean time, the next year or two looks much harder on that front with AMD likely finally getting Navi up to speed, Intel entering the mid range with xe and rumours of more companies planning to enter the market as well (eg ARM). Not only that but end of 2020 will bring the next gen consoles that will also indirectly compete with PC GPU sales, especially if the pricing continues to be insane.

I would personally be surprised if the market next year will continue to support the same pricing that Turing brought at launch.... seems like there will be more viable choice at all levels, which leads to competition, which usually leads to price cuts.

Can anyone explain why Nvidia has released... so many cards over the last year?

Nvidia are following Apple's pricing model so they will do absolutely anything to avoid discounting products but what they will do is release a different SKU at a different price point. Or to put it another way they would rather have a higher profit margin per unit than volume sales.... Good for shareholders, bad for consumers.
 
The problem I see we are going to face with the 3000 series is the utter trash about Nvidia releasing the 2080Ti too soon as a reason for weaker than expected sales. Absolutely zero acknowledgement that it was simply overpriced from the start.
 
Think they'll release TI from the get go? I think it's better at least everyone knows where they stand and can get stuck in with the GPU of their choice.

E.g. GTX 1080 was north of £600 on release right? Then 1080Ti came out and price dropped £100+
