This does not bode well as well for Nvidia who already had a hard Q4 2018. They expecs to report $2.2 billion in fourth quarter revenue versus the previous guidance of $2.7 billion.
- lumberingjack 8y agoTHey can't move the new products according to this morning talks, so they might benefit from a shortage and they have a history of shady tactics like GPP to muzzle bad reviews.
- rubbingalcohol 8y agoBad reviews aren't their problem now, it's that people won't pay an extra $400 for incrementally better performance and a missing-in-action feature set.
- chx 8y agoAnd much higher wattage, across the entire lineup.
- duaoebg 8y agoI would pay it, and I did pay it. I need a bunch for on-prem Deep Learning. My test rig of 4 RTX 2080tis artifacted after about a week of use. I'd like to buy them by the handful but I've not been able to source a reliable supply. Given this new it looks like I may have to wait a lot longer.
- ericd 8y agoI'm in the middle of a similar build, and I'm curious how you got 4 of those to work well right next to each other. Are they FE cards, or some other variant?
- duaoebg 8y agoI planned on water cooling but I never made it that far. They were FE cards. I do miss blower style but I understand they're hitting limits with it.
- ericd 8y agoYeah, custom loops seem like an ongoing chore, I was tempted and then gave up on that idea. 1000W is no joke to dissipate, either. Interesting that FEs are working, I had heard that that configuration was problematic. Have you seen much thermal throttling with them butting up against each other? I was going to resign myself to one blower 1080Ti in slot 1 and then a 2080Ti in 2 and 4, but maybe I don't have to :-)
- burk96 8y agoI know it's wrong of me, but I can't help but be a bit relieved with the recent bad news for Nvidia. This time last year (and the year before that) it was looking like they were about to have a total monopoly on the GPU market. This will give AMD time to catch up a bit and Intel a good market to release their own GPUs. With Intel's CPU dominance being withered by AMD and ARM solutions, and Nvidia's own dominance being thrown into question, the hardware industry is getting more interesting all the time.
- tass 8y agoI like seeing underdogs create something better, but a failure like this just holds everything back. Prices will be higher, and the need to compete on quality/performance will be lower.
