The probability of pascal cards dropping significantly in price?

[Ottonomous]

Or will nvidia just line them with minor cuts alongside the expensive trio? Or the distant dream of a die shrink with no RT cores?

 

[Qwertilot]

If the basic design of Turing is as energy efficient as it seems - claimed as 50% over Pascal I think? - then they'll very definitely be doing smaller dies for gaming laptops.
(& so home computers)

That's a huge, lucrative chunk of their market.

Really depends on what chips are part of the Pascal glut.

NV doesn't usually cut prices once a new gen is announced. Pascal prices are and have been subject to the forces of the market, MSRP doesn't mean much anyway. Right now that's below MSRP (at least for 1070 Ti and higher), and just a few months ago it was much higher than MSRP.

It depends on the speed of Turin sans ray tracing.

If Turin is a lot faster, more people will want it, and less will buy the 1000 series cards and prices will fall.

If Pascal and Turin are too close, more people will settle for the 1000 series and prices will stay up.

Depends on how much remaining inventory they have. Could be substantial inventory remaining.

That story never made any sense to me.

Probably the last thing NV wants is a glut of 10 series cards just as they are releasing the 20 series cards.

I saw that in the other thread and that's why I got hopeful about generous price cuts.

I mean it looks like the 2070 will be very close to performance with the 1080ti and close to its price or cheaper and that with more features.

I expect a solid 15-20% pascal price drop, across the board. For the 1080ti first and as a consequence for the rest.

This is rather unlikely. It's going to be closer to the 1080.

It also didnt make much sense to me since if their inventory situation was that bad, they could have done more aggressive price cutting weeks or months ago.

Turing's release isn't for another month. There's still plenty of time to do some various small sales until they do aggressive price cuts. Also it's still unclear what chip levels have the glut.

But they did do something similar. They did aggressive price increases on the new series, so they will need to do smaller price cuts to the previous one.

But Jensen said the 1070 would be faster than the Titanxp

JHH likely meant that with RT enabled.

Just look at the most popular mining cards. That's where the added demand existed.

 

[crisium]

JHH likely meant that with RT enabled.

Or at the very least with DLSS support. Which it still isn't clear exactly what that entails in terms of visual quality and performance.

Nvidia stated they expected mining to last into Q4 2018 - Q1 2019. So 3-5 months of sales by whatever % was the mining fraction [50% ?]. Seems it can be a LOT of GPUs in inventory.

NM, double post.

I look forward to $500 1080Tis. Will buy.

Since the 2080's are ~$800, there probably won't be much pressure to drop 1080Ti below $600.

Then they'd just have a glut of inventory on their end?

What happened during the mining craze is that AiB and retailer margins for graphics cards spiked way up much more so than those of Nvidia or AMD. Margins for these are typically very thin historically by comparison and they didn't want to go back to that.

 

[LTC8K6]

I would think it's easier for NV to get rid of a lot of 1000 series chips than anyone else. Heck, they can simply re-brand quite a lot of them and sell them to the public.

They can re-brand some of them for OEM customers as well.
