So the optimal strategy for NVidia is to shred those redundant silicon dies? At some point new Vega will put a pressure on them to release consumer Volta/Turing/Ampere/whatever-they-name-it and at $1000 there is not much hope for getting rid of Pascals via standard sales channels.

Dumping their current inventory at the market-clearing price might badly affect demand for their next generation of products and damage their relationship with board partners. Lower GPU prices from Nvidia will barely trickle down to customers due to the rising cost of GDDR memory and the fixed cost of all other aspects of AIB manufacturing. Constraining supply to keep prices close to list might be frustrating for consumers, but it's probably in the long-term interests of Nvidia and their board partners, especially considering the weak competition from AMD.
- ksec 8y agoJust give it time for the market to digest it organically. It will be a slow process but it is the best then to shred it. Afterall Nvidia is in no hurry for new GPU introduction, as Vega doesn't seems to be competitive.
