** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

It also doesn’t make sense to short supply when the big AMD unknown is on the horizon. Could result in a monumental own goal if nvidia short supply and then get outsold by big Navi.

There is no such thing as deliberate limited supply! It's so stupid. It makes zero sense in business! If you have products to sell. you want to sell as many as possible. Think of this.

you sell 1000 at £500 = £500,000 profit and happy customers, everyone who wants one gets one. Your product is everywhere and well received
you limit supply and sell 500 at £1000 - £500,000 profit and a totally ****** off community, and your product in fewer hands, smaller mindshare and seen as bad value.

Which would you want?

But that's a bad example. What if it's 500 at £1200. Then what do they do?

Limiting supply is a well known approach to maximising profit, especially if you can relax supply later and mop up the additional customers at a lower price. See pretty much every decent tech product ever.

Rumour mill speculating until november when rdna2 drops for sale is the period of the short supply to further push hype

Glad I'm not going totally crazy :D
 
Don't feel bad if you miss out as they will likely be launching the ti versions in a couple of months to combat AMD with higher clocks and more VRAM for around the same price.

I was hearing closer to middle of next year but fingers crossed big navi hits hard to force their hand, course that's better for everyone bar those who buy day 1 (Thursday)
 
These cards are looking to be around 25% faster than a 2080ti but there were benchamrks of an AMD engineering sample 6 months ago that was 30% faster so I'm guessing it will be sooner rather than later.

No, you are wrong. Limiting supply is not a well known approach to maximising profit. Maybe PER CARD yes. But not EBITDA.
Sorry but you are wrong. There is a good reason there is no limited supply of coke or iphones, and why Elon is trying desperately to produce enough cars to meet demand. Because having enough product to meet demand is very important to maximising profits.
 
the difference is with phones etc there are a million other companies making them they have to compete with..nvidia are the hot dog in town and they know that and so do the shops,citing low stock levels and driving prices up will create panic buying then 'mysterious' new stock shops up 2 weeks later and sells for the now inflated price..

How many other companies make iphones? with the apple ecosystem and itunes? (yes some people actually like that). None.

Your point is moot.

Do these cards have 0 manufacturing cost?
 
I'm not worrying about 10gb. I will run 1440p for the next couple of years or so and after that, if needed, I'll buy a 5080ti or something like that. :)
