Topic: NVIDIA can meet demand for miners (Read 859 times)

Well, I have to revise my post : they are not at all capable of meeting the demand. Just look at Newegg, there is no more 1060s, no more 1070s and soon there will be no more 1080s I am afraid !

 You haven't been looking at recent availability AND PRICING on the GTX 1070 have you?
 Pricing solidly into 1080 territory and STARTING to enter 1080 ti territory, WHEN YOU CAN FIND THEM AT ALL.

 The GTX 1060 is also starting to get into gouge-level pricing and availability is dropping.

 The GTX 1080 and 1080 ti seem to be unaffected so far in the US, as they aren't all that good at ETH mining, but ZEC miners (and miners of some small-cap coins like DGB via the Skein or Groetsl algos) find them attractive, so I can see them starting to get hit as well.


 How is it AMD being "noob" when they get hit out of nowhere by a sudden spike in demand for their cards?
 They can't just wave a magical wand and suddenly have tons more, it takes WEEKS and sometimes MONTHS for a chip order to go from "order accepted" to "chips are delivered" - then add some more time for getting the chips to the card makers and card assembly and delivery to the end-sellers.....

 They also have to worry about not OVERPRODUCING for when the demand spike ends and there's suddenly a ton of used cards clogging up sales for new cards - which oddly enough NVidia has already stated they're concerned about, as they're getting hit TOO this time around (unlike 2013/2014 Litecoin/X11 craze when NVidia cards weren't even close to being competative on the algos in use).


 I strongly believe that the whole "overproduce" issue is WHY Nvidia has decided to do "mining specific" cards at all - those aren't going to clog things up when the mining boom ends, as gamers aren't generally going to have interest in a card with no video outputs (though folks that play DirectX 12 games might have interest in them as a SECOND card, that's a fairly small part of the market).

Well, in my country they can meet demand but I don't want to pay super high prices. For instance GTX 1070 was available for purchase around 1500 TL and now it is starting from 2400 TL (and if you can find it in stock).

GTX 1080 was 1800 TL, it is now something around 2700-3000 TL range. I tried to buy from Amazon, there stock is an issue. The cards, I wanna buy, out of stock.

By the end of this year, the world's mining power will far surpass demand! Buckle up for the long run!

because everyone go with amd and nvidia is never considered, so now they have a far bigger supply, and they can afford, to sell for both mienrs and gamers, without losing the supply

Hopefully Nvidia professionalism is here to contrast with AMD noobism. I was not very fond of Nvidia at the beggining, but now that they are the only possible way, I find them quite good.

Heard from a guy who owns a large farm, he has connections in the industry for GPUs and other computer components. He basically said that AMD is very difficult to source unless you know someone high up.

But NVIDIA on the other hand will never be out of supply of their GPUs. They are loads and loads of 1060, 1070, 1080 and NVIDIA predicts the supply will never dry up.

So here is proof that the difficulty gains will still keep climbing...
