Well, everybody knows that the demand for graphics cards is extremely high, so, if this happens, do you think card prices would get back to where they were years ago?

nope. Mining cards are nothing new, p104 and p106 have been out for months and the only people who actually own them either buy in bulk straight out of the factory or pay stupid high prices for individual ones in mining specialized estores. This model isn't going to change anything.

The problem is GDDR5 availability - regular GPUs, mining GPUs, smartphones and consoles all need them so this card is just going to be another pebble behind that bottleneck.

Hello All.

I think is just a movement from nvidia to continue increasing the benefits from the 10xx series when the new 20xx series will arrive. And also this equipment has a problem with warranty, it's not possible to sell it in europe with just a warranty of 3 months, and at the current prices, would you buy a hardware that has a warranty life shorter than the ori of this hardware? With a Roi of 1 or 2 months would be a interesting investment, with the current prices is a risky investment.

The demand is slowing for cards as we see stock staying longer and longer in stock as each day passes. Add in these mining cards having a 3-month warranty and absolutely no resale value to anyone except miners, who will be wary of the limited or no warranty. I really don't see the point of these cards and I will not be purchasing any at this point. You are most likely better off waiting for those new miners that bought high and are freaking about the market and trying to panic sell to get a card with 2-3 years left on warranty and at a discount.

New Reports suggest that Nvidia is going to launch a mining GPU sooner than previously expected. The graphics unit comes with features that cryptocurrency miners will find attractive. According to leaked specifications, the Inno3D card is based on the gaming GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

prices are dropping already a bit, I think the constant price plunges on crypto are starting to slow demand
