Rejoice! Nvidia graphics playing cards are again in inventory beneath MSRP! Despair. That means it’s going to be some time earlier than they launch a brand new technology of graphics card. Sigh, the place’s my Nvidia Volta GPU?
Check out the pricing for the best video cards obtainable right this moment.
Nvidia have tweeted out photos and gifs of GeForce-branded (completely not faked) delivery containers and cabinets being stocked with new 10-series graphics playing cards. Which is kinda nice, and means we’re beginning to see reasonably priced GPUs hitting the market throughout the globe.
We reported final week the GTX 1080 was below it’s recommended launch price, and now the remaining are following. The Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB is lastly again beneath MSRP and now you can choose one up for beneath $300 / £250, which is about what you might need anticipated to pay this time final yr. Remember these halcyon days earlier than the gaming GPU market was eviscerated? Yeah, good occasions…
To be sincere this doesn’t actually really feel like one thing to have a good time, however within the context of the present GPU pricing issues, having probably the most widespread mainstream graphics playing cards again to the extent it was this time final yr nonetheless appears like a little bit of a win.
There’s an EVGA and MSI GTX 1060 obtainable for $290 and £245 respectively. Compared with the rival RX 580 8GB, the AMD card which used to value even rather less than the GTX 1060, you’re going to must pay one other $50 or £50 to get your self on group purple.
There has additionally been an enormous push by the GeForce gang to get their very own retailer stocked within the US, with all of the Nvidia graphics cards now obtainable for his or her commonplace value. You might need to be fast as they do are likely to promote out rapidly, the empty digital cabinets on the UK model of the shop is testomony to that.
Nvidia tweeted out final night time a positively real image of a ship laden with GeForce-branded delivery containers. Jacob thinks it’s photoshopped, however I’m optimistic it may well’t be. I imply simply take a look at it, clearly a real image. Maybe…

Some folks have taken this, and the announcement of a May 30 GTC Taiwan keynote by Jen-Hsun Huang simply earlier than Computex, being an indication of name new graphics playing cards arriving quickly. But if 10-series GTX playing cards are beginning to flood the cabinets at retail once more that’s a fairly large trace that new GPUs are a approach off.
If they’re have been wherever close to getting new Nvidia playing cards prepared for retail there would not be such a push, or such a fanfare, about getting last-gen inventory replenished. In different phrases, don’t count on to see something new, whether or not that’s a GTX 2080 or GTX 1180, from Nvidia till at the very least September.
