NVIDIA Tweet Indicates New Volume Stock availability for GeForce graphics cards
One more news-item from the NVIDIA front, the Nvidia team on twitter posted a tweet that suggests there is a large amount of graphics cards (stock) inbound. Which is good news, as prices should come down then.
The tweet shows a photograph of a container ship in which the majority of the containers photoshopped green with Nvidia logos. The photo has the text 'supply run' next to it, which indicates new volume inventories for GeForce videocards. Perhaps with a declining mining GPU demand there finally is some oversupply? that kinda makes sense.
BTW fun fact, if you look at the photo, the containers definitely were colored red before ;)

So now that the mining craze is waning, Nvidia suddenly remembered about their loyal customers... How thoughtfull of them...

They've been resupplying the founders edition cards throughout the mining craze at random intervals. I've picked up a few at MSRP through that channel over the last 6 months (which is kind of funny considering people were so against this when it was announced). I'm not sure what else you'd want them to do though, they sign agreements with AIB partners so it's not like they can drastically divert supply and there were reports of miners buying the GPU's directly out of factories before they even got to retail channels.
So restock of almost 2years old GPU selling for original 650-699$, yes makes sense lol
Like Texter said, they can keep them.
Bring on 699$ 1180GTX
Considering the last time they restocked the supply sold out basically instantly.. it does make sense for them to price it that way. Why gamers want a 2 year old card at launch prices is what doesn't make sense, not the pricing itself. Also 1080Ti is only just over a year old, which is the card at $700.

You´re right that there´s very little they can do to stop miners but you have to admit that their tweet is seems a little opportunistic, like they are calling gamers back because they can no longer rely on miners to buy all their stock with minimal effort...
My opinion of course.

Nice! Looks like there's stock available on nVidia's site right now and I finally managed to grab that 1070 Ti I've had my eye on. I'm a happy camper right now.

Prices are back to MSRP and stocks available since yesterday.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-store/
Prices were always at MSRP at NVs store page, unfortunately whenever they had stocks it would sell out in minutes. This first time I see available stocks for more than a day. But kind of late, new gen may be weeks away, so may not be the best time to buy.
Price won't drop, at least initially.
Doubt the prices will ever return back to normal.
and prices does´nt drop, :V

Nvidia is starting to remind me of Intel, I'm starting to have a foul taste in my mouth.

I don't get it either. I've had a few opportunities for a decently priced 1080 or Vega 64 but I've passed knowing that new cards are coming sooner than later.

And just like that, they're gone. Only the 1070 and Ti are available at the time of writing (and they'll probably disappear soon as well). Like I said before, we're not out of the woods yet.

jeez, it's like i'm Cassandra from "the Iliad".
i've been telling people for a year now that Nvidia has no reason to rush out their new post-Volta design based on several cut and dried issues.
1) they are making money hand over fist with Pascal
2) advances in uv and x-ray lithography are shrinking nodes faster than projections
3) they actually have competition now that is directly involved with and has past knowledge of chip fabbing (AMD/Intel)...and whose designs are just about ready to start production.
4) they want bulk availability of stock before trade show season

Let's hope they are finally unloading all stock and releasing their next generation of cards soon.

Number one, I can follow. Number two, seems inaccurate given the delays. Number three is wildly optimistic given their current state of tech in dGPU.
Number four, Nvidia already published they have increased wafer starts in the pipeline some time ago.

Obviously a good chunk of these sales are still to miners, but I can see why gamers would still jump on some of these like the 1060, or the 1080/70 Ti. I grabbed a 1070 Ti today because I figured I could still resell my 980 at a reasonable price right now, but when the new cards come out in a few weeks who knows what prices are going to be like. Will the new cards still have an inflated cost, or will they be reasonable because demand has died down a bit and hopefully supply will be greater? Either way I personally didn't want to wait and find out.
I will say that the prices of the standard 1080 and 1070 FE are still pretty unappealing right now, and it's not really surprising that the only version left -as of writing this- it the 1070.

the delays are because of how accurate i am.
there was a lot of time wasted at 10nm as well before nearly all chip fabs switch to 7nm
in addition, you have literally no idea how big Big Data is. it is a multi-billion dollar industry. A.I. even in formative stages is a multi-billion dollar industry
coin mining at Nvidia alone was $289 billion In A Quarter.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-10/nvidia-reveals-crypto-sales-for-first-time-and-predicts-big-drop
Google alone owns more 1080ti's than are present in most countries. i have seen them in their server farms.
