Nvidia miscalculations may have led to excess GPU inventory

[ThanosPAS]

I always get a kick out of the aurgument that a company is greedy for trying to make money on their product. I guess there should be a feel good price so everyone loves them. Shareholders be damned.

Well, I guess now we understand where a profit above all can lead us to. Many things could be avoided by simply being a little moral. This instance is not an exception but it's an impossible demand to have, knowing a little bit about people.

I wonder if AMD and Nvidia read these comments lol or are we just complainers ? lol well I'm a complainer if nobody else is haha

For the last time, it's 300,000 low tier chips 1030/1050/1050ti at best...... this won't make nVidia rich over night.... it's just excess inventory a price drop is out of the question so far since nVidia does not sell low tier GPU's (There is no Founders Edition chips for anything lower than the 1060) by themselves so they will have to go to an AIB or to another OEM.... only after there can be talks about dropping the price ... and it will have to come from whichever AIB gets it not from nVidia.... 300k worth of entry level chips won't make 1080ti cheaper....

The laws of supply and demand should make prices drop. Stupid laws are not working.

That is because of the stated collusion.

Instead of selling the GPU at market rate (demand), they would rather send them back to protect their price (quantity). FBI should be investigating nVidia's practices and price fixing.

They aren't releasing a new top end card because they don't need to, there is nothing that can come close to the 1080 Ti unfortunately, why release a flagship killer when there is no competition? It's been this way for ages.

This, plus the fact that half the 10xx series cards are still OP for a lot of the market. If Nvidia is smart, they won't do another major release until they have a true 4K card (4k/60FPS/ultra). Until that happens, any significant upgrade to their product lineup would be paper gains.

If they were really smart they would launch the new line of cards with a new brand of SLI based off of NVlink, eliminating software dependencies.

wth does op mean?
plus nvidia dont make their own chips , they buy slots at foundrys , MONTHS in advance to get their chips mfr'd. They miscalculated , I dont know how many gpu's they sell per month ? prices must fall, its the only way to clear inventory. Give something back, after ramping up prices for so long.

OP = overpowered. Most of the gaming market (per Steam) still runs displays in the 1080/60 range, making the upper half of the 10 series lineup overkill in most titles.

Most of the PC specs on Steam, are from youngsters who use laptops to game.

Gab has been under pressure to revealing true specs, or wiping the database and only populating it with recent (within 2 years time) data.

I am listening........and I still don't hear GPU prices dropping.

SMH

They are dropping slowly I lucked out earlier this month and got this for 150.00 brand new off of amazon prime.

I really don't care much for higher end cards but this was long over due anyway.
Like I keep telling people start looking at the holidays now uptil black friday in november and first week of december.
You gotta know when the price will dip down for a few short days and snag it up.
I've seen alot of people recently started buying ATI RX 560+ and up and nvidia 1050ti+ and up during these past 2 months.
They are flying quickly like iHop pan cakes.

They can allways REBRAND a boat load of low tier chips also. send them to their bottom OEMs. at a discount.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't ramp up production every time people complain about miners.

Nvidia did ramp up production and as a result they made a boatload of money. Good thing for them and their shareholders that you're not managing their affairs. They will mark down prices on the remaining GPU's and still make money off of them.
