friendly reminder that nvidia is purposefully choking the supply

supply is potentially crippled, cant see the article but semiaccurate has a story about nvidia's supply chain fucking up hard.

Well the 1080/1070 chip is bigger than the one in the 480, obviously it means yields are lower just by the size itself, if Nvidia made a cutdown version to match the 480 their yields will also improve vastly.

Limit supply to create artificial demand is NVIDIA's game

Why are people surprised about this?

Nvidia has been scumbags for decades, and people still but their shit.

theres no way a big corporation like nvidia and all their partners can't produce a shitload of GPU's after several months time. there's also no way that demand for 800+ euro gpu's is so high that production can't keep up.

people have no more choice. there are no competitors to the GTX 1070 / GTX 1080 cards. they are a must-have for gaming at resolutions over 1440p. AMD has lost so much ground they are forced to market to the mid-range crowd just to stay alive, with no high-end competitors being released.

Protip: Nvidia's highest selling cards are their midrange ones.
AMD is going for the biggest market.

Vega is coming next year, and the 490x has yet to be announced.

Be patient instead of jumping on scam cards.

Really? NVIDIA doesn't even make the chips, and doesn't build the boards either. Chances are, NVIDIA's contract with TSMC probably stipulates that NVIDIA can't completely monopolize the fabs and production has to be stretched out in order to allow capacity for other TSMC partners.

Fuck you AMD.

>Wait

Why do you idiots keep thinking they do this. Its not even possible in this industry since the majority of the sells are to partners for custom designs. Its just as bad if not worse that they're incompetent enough to launch with no supply.

Intel is 10x the size of cuckvidia and couldn't produce enough Skylakes for 6 months.
