Are the GTX10 series going out of stock??

[kiaricephus31]

I just saw on a website that the GTX 10 series are going out of stock or they are already out of stock.

Does this mean that they'll be out of stock even in local stores in a few weeks?

I suspect its to get rid of all stock. GDDR6 hits mass production in 3 months from Micron, Samsung and Hynix so expect new video cards in July, August.

Stock will continue to trickle to locals, but really no one wants to be left with a hot potato of old video cards.

At this point that's a bit of a surprise given that there is still such a huge demand that GPU prices are nearly double MSRP. I'd think there would be very few issues with low stock even after the new ram. Even used cards are garnering high prices.

Not that they are worth buying anyway. Barely acceptable pricing on the GTX1050Ti, everything else is 40-70% higher than MSRP. This will just make it worse.

I can't imagine the launch prices of new cards is going to be favorable. Probably set them high to start, and then people will be after them in droves and double that.

Well GDDR6 has a 20% production cost increase which will be put on consumers. That is after the 15% increase DDR5 already had. so 1080TI MSRP was $699 * 15%(GDDR5) = $803 * 20% (GDDR6) = $963. So its looking like $1000 to start with.

20% to the memory cost, not the card cost... And they meant over current GDDR5 prices, so it wouldn't stack.

Card cost - GDDR5 cost + (GDDR5 cost * 1.2) Assuming the same memory amount.

All told, maybe $100 to the bottom line to the consumer. So your MSRP $699 card will be around $800 assuming they don't just decide to gouge. Also not likely to see a Ti card out of the gate. Expect another 8GB GDDR6 card.

If they do another Founder's Edition release, you should see the xx80 card around $700, and then the AIB partners with $600 cards.

But again, everything is out the window with the demand. If Nvidia does a founder's edition release I hope it is limit one per customer...

Might be the time to start hitting up MassDrop or something and see if we can bulk buy to get decent prices.

During the last round how many AIB partners actually sold their card for less than the FE cards? Some came close and prices did eventually fall to FE levels and a bit below. But the FE cards basically set the low water mark none of the AIB were going to sell their card below the FE because they wanted their cards to be "premium" over the "base" model FE.

But it's all moot anyway as the miners will suck up all the supply and result in prices around 1000USD for the **80, likely more.

Quite a bit, I waited. The FE cards were a fixed price for early access $699 (as well as binned chips)

AIB cards, the very basic FE or blower coolers, were $10-20 over the suggested MSRP of $599. My card, a non-FE, but still a binned reference card was $649.99, so still $50 under the FE edition, and it came with a nice dual fan cooler (Which I promptly replaced for water cooling)

You might be thinking of some of the premium cards which did about equal the FE prices, but they were all the very high end custom cards. Which was paying a whole lot for a few percentage points.

Eximo I think you have been living under a rock. Its been years since AIB cards have been cheaper than NVIDIA Reference models. Its going to be $799-899 than $1000 for AIB.

I'm referring to the very specific case when Nvidia released the GTX 1080. They set the Founder's Edition price higher than MSRP and were the only seller. Whereas previously MSRP cards and AIB cards came out at roughly the same time. Custom AIB cards are more expensive, but that was the first time that a blower reference cooler from a board partner was cheaper than the reference cards from Nvidia.

It was a big deal having Nvidia directly competing with their partners. Given the potential for easy profit, I suspect they will do it again which is the point I was trying to make. I expect the initial price from Nvidia to be higher than AIB cards, which makes them cheaper to buy and thus worth waiting for.

I specifically waited for the AIB partners to release cards. FE 1080 was $699, MSRP was $599, the card I bought was $649. A reference board with an ACX cooler. AIB FE cards were more like $610-620, which was much cheaper than buying direct from Nvidia.

I'm sure these statements can be read in multiple ways, but the history is clear enough if you look into it, and I happen to have the receipts to prove it.
