NVIDIA Turing GPU to Start Mass Production in Q3 2018
Despite not being backed by an official statement, NVIDIA's next-generation crypto-mining Turing graphics cards are expected to be revealed at GTC 2018 between March 26 to 29. According to DigiTimes's latest report, NVIDIA is expecting a drop in demand for graphics card later this year. In an effort to prolong the lifecycle of their current graphics cards, mass production for Turing won't start until the third quarter of 2018. Sources around the industry have also revealed that NVIDIA had a sit-down with AIB partners to address the current situation. In short, NVIDIA partners are now forbidden to promote activities related to cryptocurrency mining and to sell bulks of consumer graphics cards to cryptominers.

That's your answer
Miners will buy the cheaper dedicated cards and gamers can access the gamer cards again thus stopping the inflation. Meanwhile nvidia will get more cards out of their dies and in the end making more money.
Or so the theory is. Whether it will work or not.. only time will tell
I'll help at the risk of biting into the sarcasm. He de-cryped encrypted nazi messages during WWII by solving the nazi crypt machine they used to translate those messeges.
Thats all I would need to assume they chose the name. :laugh:

I think after their last mining card release and its crazy prices and wtf warranty ,not enticing miners into buying them, until only those were left, they could be putting more effort in ie use the worst shader array bin gpus specially configured for mining instead of regular stuff with bits removed ,they just need to get the price right and they win but either way they win as the chip bins called a bin for a reason, this could use stock that few other use cases would have, we'll see i suppose .
Anyone else now thinking this exact asic could be turing, it seams odd that turing got rumoured up to death, now rumoured Q3 just as these deliberately made for mining cards turn up, they are not shy of naming a segmant after all are they ie Quadro,Titan, Geforce ,,Turing.
makes more sense then buying a farm of these only for nvidia to piss on my chips in Q3 with an jeffin super miner card.
Jensen: "Thank you for attending and I hope you are all enjoying the presentations from some of the greatest minds in the field of AI and deep learning, but... lets take a break from that so I can introduce a GPU that no one in this room will give a shit about..."
If its a crypto card, that just seems to be an announcement more appropriate for GDC which is mar 19-23, not GTC... since after all, this card is supposedly being made to show gamers some love.
But seriously now, they'll be claming 1.8x boost over previous generation for decrypting enigma codes in wolfenstein 2 when using nvidia turing GPUs.
Nvidia is after sales and money.
well, we will find the truth soon enough, at GTC this month.
I'm still curious about the MSRP of these new mining (and gaming) cards. and what will affect to the current inflated priced of old graphic cards...
