And then there are the cryptominers..... Do you suppose that they'll scoop up these cards at debut leaving consumers high and dry while driving prices through the roof for them?
Yep.

Subtle hints from. Nvidia someone made me aware of, low to no stock and the fact they can't maintain the current market with the mining craze and no product. All speculation and interpretation, but sensible IMO.

Reasonable speculation. My retail sources are telling me the same about stock levels, suggesting the increased demand and tapering/reduced 10-series production are causing the supply issues.
It's been silent with new graphics card releases from Nvidia. We've mentioned it a couple of times already, we really do not expect Volta with HBM2 to reach consumer grade graphics anytime soon. The chatter is about to get big as the first indications are here that Nvidia will be launching a GA104, a GPU called Ampere, on April 12th.

Rumour: Nvidia Ampere might launch as GeForce GTX 2070 and 2080 on April 12th

Are you saying that would be a bad deal at this point?I'd laugh if the 2070 ends up being ~ 1080 Ti performance... at 1080 Ti MSRP prices.

$650-700 for GTX 1080ti performance in a better performance package/more features/whatever ampere brings. When there is no competition and given the current GPU landscape, that would STILL be a good deal.
A GTX 2060 at $350 would sadly be the best GPU of the 2018. Dropped to $300 for the holidays.
I will be so pissed if miners cause a lack of supply and/or ridiculous prices on launch day. I'm always a day one buyer and use the cards the way they are intended.
Nvidia to launch the GTX 20 in April so here is the Ampere that you've been waiting for.

From the article: "The new GPU gaming chip, code named Turing, is expected to be unveiled next month."
Looks like "Turing" is the architecture that the consumer cards will be based on. I'm guessing 1180 and 1170 debut at GTC next month. So I guess that means Ampere comes after, probably late 2019 or 2020?
I think NVidia will use the FE program to limit this to some degree or at least ensure that gamers have a better shot at getting cards. Even with the extra markup it still comes out cheaper than retailer markup or bundle packages.
How is this different from what I posted? Other than making up a different code name.

Neither of these names have to be the architecture name (in fact, they 99% sure aren't)

So... along the way, what happened to the Pascal Refresh from which should have come the "Big Pascal" chip? Almost all of the previous architectures ended up having a 110 or 200 version which was the biggest chip in that family... The pascal never saw this, with the 1080 coming from GP104 and 1080Ti from GP102... Kinda disappointed were going from small chip to small chip, meaning it make take 4 years to see another 80Ti big chip model.
I believe I said next gen would launch in May a long time ago. I am betting an announcement in April, with the release still in May. Now lets see how my AMD Zen+ prediction plays out.
