A good problem if you just so happen to be called Jensen Huang.

Oh and BTW just for the record I am 100% sticking to the fact that they won't ramp up production in fear of getting stuck holding the baby. You can insult me all you like, it doesn't make me wrong.

I was just thinking that, laughing all the way to the bank no doubt.

Same goes for the production, I reckon they won't ramp it up because most gamers are now waiting for the 2000 series to come into play rather than being a 1000 series card.

I don't blame them for not doing it. Mining is not something that will remain forever because like I said, eventually the money runs out. Thus I would not want to be stuck holding 200k GPUs.

They could turn what is a fantastic situation into a nightmare.

Besides prices are dropping. It is now starting to become uneconomical in the UK and other places, which has already reflected in the used market. I saw a GTX 980 go for £150 two days back and there is a flood of 1080s on there for mid £400s.

I was just sticking it in there for the guy who started hurling insults at me last week for stating my view on it.

Honestly, if I was rich I'd buy all of them, set up a free range GPU ranch and let them live their remaining lives in peace away from the mines

LOL :lol: I actually pictured an old ranch hand leaning on a fence with a bunch of bull sized GPUs with horns grazing nearby.

Well, that's just depressing. Not quite what I was imagining.

Kinda sums the situation up, though...

Apparently they are for transporting pigs only btw. If you look you can see the truck they are being loaded onto.

Yeah, I'm with hmmblah on that. But would also say maybe not even appropriate for this thread.

Coming back to the original statement made by Nvidia; and they never will since they're not producing any anymore lol

they shouldn't have made the statement since they're leaving the consumer without any product for well over halve a year!

That and they're still not sure that the bitcoin craze will last because it never does and it does look like it's slowing down again. I can't blame them. Why ramp up production to keep up with the mining feeding frenzy only to have the bottom fall out of it and then have way more GPU's sitting on shelves that nobody wants because they can get them for a fraction of the price on the used market.

Prices are actually coming down quite a bit lately. I was looking on Newegg today and 1080's are in the low $600's now.

I was kinda waiting on Volta to come out but I gotta feeling they're gonna come out pretty high priced so I may wind up getting a 1080 for $600 and be done with it.
