Are new Nvidia GPU'S coming soon?

[Torloth]

I keep hearing rumors about new Nvidia Video cards. As someone who is running a GTX 760 4GB, and said Video card is the only thing keeping me from playing AAA games on my PC.
I've been putting money aside for water-cooling parts and my new video card, to finish my new PC (Picture when I'm done of course).
Should I put much faith in these rumors or jump on the first retail 1070-1080TI that I can get my hands on?

nVidia seems to release a new card in the 2nd quarter of the year.
At least that is how it seems to me.

I don't think you'd go wrong if you find a 1080TI at MSRP. That's a tough find nowadays, but it is possible. Not sure I'd go as low as a 1070 though, if you want longevity from your system. But that's just one old man's opinion, one old man who is VERY happy he bought a pair of 1080TI's before the prices went insane.

There is An EVGA FTW3 GTX 1080TI at Canada computers in stock for $1399, is that even MSRP for the card??

Nope, MSRP for that card I believe is about $1050 CAD if I'm not mistaken. Prices have gone nuts recently due to miners, or at least that's the BS that resellers are feeding us . It's a crappy time to be building a high-end gaming PC right now with RAM and GPU prices going out of control.

All I can say is I am also extremely glad I didn't wait to buy my GPUs...

The way prices are right now would hate to see what they would be asking for the newest card plus the fact u wont see any for months after the paper launch... ya around a $1000 cad for a 1080ti is normal pricing.

[Torloth]

I don't blame Nvidia or the manufacturers for this. RAM prices are insane. I heard that has something to do with the increase in MSRP but that wouldn't make a $300 difference.
I'm probably going to have to to hold out for something new or a wide scale restock.

RAM Prices are idiotic due to the demand for DDR4 in mobile and "add-on" type devices like smartwatches, etc... but the GPU prices didn't rise mostly because of this.

The damn miners are buying up all the cards and sticking them in their basements/garages and there is some price gouging due to the "supply/demand" model. Some on the distribution side, some on the manufacturers side, and a fair bit on the retailers' side.

When I see an RX 580 8GB card that was $330.00 a few months ago retailing for $699 that's not RAM prices. That's someone taking advantage of desperation.


The problem for the manufacturers is if they keep up with demand, at some point a reduction in mining for whatever reason means that they will end up with excess stock at some point, and will have to liquidate it, de-valuing their product. AMD dealt with this a few years back with the R9 290/290x cards. Bitcoin mining was nuts, then subsided, and they ended up slashing prices on these cards

It's a horrible time to build a PC based on newly sourced parts, especially GPUs, and to a lesser extent, RAM.

I know a guy on another forum that got 1080TIs for $700USD each, very recently. He used http://www.nowinstock.net/ I know nothing about this site BTW, but I trust the guy's word. He also said "they've been releasing them at MSRP on the Nvidia site every wednesday and friday the past couple weeks".

[Torloth]

Has anyone ever ordered something straight from nVidia?
Do they declared at the border and charge the proper Import fees?


A reference card is Way easier to get A Block for.unless I can get my hands on the EVGA card with A waterblock.

[Hooded]

Yes, I have ordered 3 cards directly from nVidia.
Received purchase in two days.

I paid only what I was charged at the store.

There have been rumors about GTX 2070/2080s. Typically, when you hear these rumors, it takes about 3 to 6 months for them to materialize into a purchasable product. That being said, with record profits thanks partially to miners, I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia kept the cat in the bag for a little while longer.
