Rejoice! Nvidia graphics playing cards are again in inventory under MSRP! Despair. That means it’s nonetheless 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 out there at this time.
Nvidia have tweeted out footage and gifs of GeForce-branded (completely not faked) transport containers and cabinets being stocked with new 10-series graphics playing cards. Which is kinda nice, and means we’re beginning to see inexpensive GPUs hitting the market throughout the globe.
We reported final week the GTX 1080 was below it’s recommended launch price, and now the remainder are following. The Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB is lastly again under MSRP and now you can choose one up for beneath $300 / £250, which is about what you may need anticipated to pay this time final 12 months. Remember these halcyon days earlier than the gaming GPU market was eviscerated? Yeah, good instances…
To be trustworthy this doesn’t actually really feel like one thing to rejoice, however within the context of the present GPU pricing issues, having one of the fashionable mainstream graphics playing cards again to the extent it was this time final 12 months nonetheless seems like a little bit of a win.
There’s an EVGA and MSI GTX 1060 out there 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 staff crimson.
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 out there for his or her normal worth. You may 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 evening a positively real image of a ship laden with GeForce-branded transport containers. Jacob thinks it’s photoshopped, however I’m constructive it could actually’t be. I imply simply take a look at it, clearly a real image. Maybe…

Some individuals 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 brand 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 manner off.
If they’re have been anyplace 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 anticipate to see something new, whether or not that’s a GTX 2080 or GTX 1180, from Nvidia till at the very least September.
