srs?
wow never knew.
just read the post above mine.
guess it wasn't.
The dark satanic rumour mill is flat out claiming that TSMC is getting the blame for a shortage of GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 supply issues. However Fudzilla's own sources have been on the blower to say that is untrue, the lack of availability are generated by exceptionally great sales.
The 1080's cards were launched in 27 May and the GTX 1070 on 10 June, however stocks are scarcer than an intelligent post-Brexit plan in the UK. Even the over-priced Founders' Edition cards are as rare as an apology from an Italian politician.
The rumour is that that TSMC is having trouble producing the 16nm FinFET chips that power the Pascal GPUs in the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. However what we are seeing is that interest is overwhelming supply the Geforce has been selling better than any high end card in the recent history.
The reason is simple the card's performance is exceptional and if you are in the market for $500+ card you definitely want the 1080 or the 1070. AMD so far has nothing new to offer as a Fury X replacement.
Nvidia has no 16nm yield issues

Poor yields vs Great sales, pick your choice.

It is a combination of both, as OcUK staff indirectly confirmed in their forums.Could be a combination of both.
The quote above settles it: demand was through the roof. But the following quote is also crystal clear as to why the channel could not gradually satisfy the initial "shock" demand and help the cards materialize on store shelves.You can blame the thousands of people in the UK alone who ordered a GTX 1080 immediately upon release.
This far exceeds the typical supply of any card, let alone a brand new, flagship launch card. There was no way that anybody would have been able to match this demand.
Things are slowly transitioning into normality though, as this later post proves. Sure, this is a rather anecdotal example, but it does help understand how the situation evolved from a reseller POV, especially one who claims this:We are pushing like crazy to board partners who are pushing nvidia very hard. It's a global delay!
In fact I do not have it confirmed but I believe OcUK is the no.1 reseller in whole of Europe for 1080, which is an achievement I am very proud off because UK TAM is a lot smaller than some of our European competitors.

I love how your posts have no actual numbers, just quotes from people guessing
Au contraire, considering the nature of the claim, the burden of proof lies with the source, otherwise the title of the thread should be clearly labeled as [Rumor].Do you have any numbers to prove their industry sources 'wrong'? Please, we're waiting.

Sorry that isn't how it works, you are saying they've sold tons, yet provided no numbers proving that.
Am I? Silly me, for a second I thought it was Fudzilla.

really?
The next generation of graphics cards began with a whimper.
Today, the new generation of graphics cards kicked off with a bang—at least in theory. In reality, it was sort of a disappointing whimper.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 Supply is Low
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 stock won't improve until at least late July
Thank you for posting the name of the article from Fudzilla...
I don't see you posting those articles for some reason, so obviously you must know something else that makes fudzilla correct

Why should I know something else if I'm only posting an article from Fudzilla without throwing a single personal comment on the matter? It's not my fault if NVIDIA is selling a lot of cards.
How do you know they're guessing, do you have numbers to prove their sources are wrong? This looks pretty convincing:
Now we've had an industry source tell us that there won't be a huge flood of GeForce GTX 1080 cards, from all partners, until late July or even early August. This makes sense, but it also means that the price gouging that is happening now, will continue - and could even get worse. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 is selling for $1999 on Amazon right now, which is absolutely nuts.
and it could lead to NVIDIA releasing the GeForce GTX 1060 earlier than anticipated, to fight off the RX 480.
If Fury X can say that they were succesful due shortages.... why not nVIDIA? and it will be worse thanks to Apple and Qualcomm...
"high" end
The 1080 is actually a mid range card, but since the high-end cards of the Pascal generation haven't launched yet (1080 Ti, Titan), and there's no competition, Nvidia is pushing it as a "high-end" card. That probably means they're comparing the volume to the Titan, Titan X etc. rather than the 980 or even 980 Ti.
