NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs waiting in warehouses since August

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/88449/nvidia-geforce-rtx-40-series-gpus-waiting-in-warehouses-since-august/index.html

"I've been speaking with a few industry sources of mine, with one of them well-connected in Taiwan saying that NVIDIA has been stockpiling GeForce RTX 4090, GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, and GeForce RTX 4080 12GB graphics cards since August"

Another one claiming 4080 16GB and 4080 12GB... I don't like where this is going cause I get the feeling Nvidia will price 4080 12GB at $700, 4080 16GB at $1000, and 4090 somewhere between $1500-$2000. That way, they could potentially price the 3080 Ti at $500 and go down the stack. AMD could of course, really ruin Nvidia's day by pricing their GPUs more appropriately but I think AMD will follow Nvidia's lead when it comes to placing their GPUs in the performance tier. But we will see.

The whole 12GB 4080 model, which I'm still hoping it's a mistake (but that hope is slowly fading away) stinks of Nvidia failing to predict the current economic situation and finding themselves with a real 4080 that's too expensive to be sold for a profit at the usual $700 price spot, going into panic mode and using what was supposed to be the 4070(Ti) to fill that $700 spot that the 4080 should have taken.

Otherwise, why would this card use an AD104 chip instead of the same AD103 of the 16GB model?

What's worse, then, if this is what's going on, is that it moves the whole stack down a step, because that 12GB 4080 leaves no room to have a 4070 and 4060Ti using the same AD104 chip, so the 4060Ti will need to go down to the 106 GPU, affecting in turn the rest of the cards down below.

I know I'll probably be completely wrong but, (again) if this whole thing is true, this could mean that Nvidia could face troubles.

But well, I doubt AMD will try to take advantage of it. They're too focused on making as much money as possible so they'll price their cards along the lines of Nvidia, maybe $50 less just to be able to say that they're trying.

Yea pretty much. Least it won't be long now to see Nvidia's real plans. I do hope people are getting their wallets ready for those that want to upgrade though cause there's going to be a lot of FOMO happening regardless. So it's about to get real scrappy soon.

1)*Sigh* Another proof that I'm getting old: I had to look what FOMO means. Another one of those first worl problems that could have been solved with a slap at the right time.
I don't have to worry about it.

2) Well, the GTC keynote is on the 20th so only three more days until we find out.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Holy crap end of an era right there. Ampere's latest stock situation actually did a number on AiB's and Nvidia. Hopefully some lessons learned from these GPU companies. Don't invest and go all in on a volatile market.

The most interesting bit apart from "Fuck you Nvidia" is they don't want to work with AMD or Intel either. I wonder if the higher ups are just like... We made a shit ton of money for the past 25 years, lets retire...

Pretty crazy the CEO and chair members just nuking the company in spite of Nvidia and not even giving AMD a wince. Can't see them lasting long from being purely a hardware manufacturer outside of GPU considering that sector (supposedly) makes up for 80% of their revenue. So you could be right in that they're just retiring. Sucks for the employee's working under them though.

Holly sh*t! That came out of nowhere.

You don't take a decision this big unless you really, really believe it's your best course of action.

It could also be a matter of protection. They know that some of the Nvidia loyals would use that Intel or AMD partnership to discredit EVGA's decision and to derail the discussion.

They can always do that later.
