GeForce GTX 1080 Ti resurrected from the dead?
And yes, we do mean that literally, as the GPU has been declared end-of-life for a long time already. But, much like the production ramp-up for 1050 Ti and RTX 2060, the GTX 1080 Ti might be revived.
Recently a user of South Korean tech platform Quasar Zone had his four-year-old GTX 1080 To returned the card for a repair, and he received a brand new 1080 Ti as a replacement. He had a peek, and despite this GPU being EOL; he noticed the serial number indicating the product was produced in 2021. Indicating it's a fresh batch.
It would not be uncommon for Nvidia to put an older GPU back into production with the current shortages, and older it is as it was released in 2017. Baked at 16nm FinFEt NVIDIA might have found some production capacity somewhere. Hey, it's still a very decent WQHD card. There are so many contradictions to this story that I would not know where to begin. Perhaps a batch was fdabbed just for RMA replacements, who knows. So for now take it with a grain or two of salt and as-is.

I see them selling locally. And getting sold. This is not some ad crap. All I know is thankfully I got lucky both times the mining bubble burst.
I bought a brand new R9 Fury in 2017 a week before it went crazy. Was $247 new. A week later. $450 used.
Same thing with my 5700XT. Bough it just in time. Honestly, I didnt truly need it. I had a vega 56 and was doing well. But the extra fps the 5700xt got at 3440x1440 was worth it.
Always remember that ads featuring irrational sale prices don't denote buyers! Looks like my 5700XT will continue to give great service for a while yet. So if AMD begins making and selling RX-580s and/or 5700's again, we can be confident that yield issues have caused the current problems for both companies. I think that's obvious, myself.

So what is different?
They're people 'screaming' the shortages can partly be attributed to a lack of components to assemble the cards... beyond the chip itself.
Refresh my memory, doesn't the GTX1080Ti use capacitors and other surface-mount ICs as well?
If they have the will to refresh this card, then they should also have parts to assemble the later cards.

My 1080ti FE with Accelero Xtreme cooler is still happily gaming with an Ultrawide 1440p screen at max res!
This card has life like no other.
