Component Suppliers Suggest That NVIDIA is Taking a Relaxed Approach with RTX 40-Series Production
Two of NVIDIA's providers of Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) services are of the opinion that Team Green is happy to stay the course with its Ada Lovelace GPU production schedule. The backend providers Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL) and King Yuan Electronics (KYEC) have not been given any new instructions with regard to shifts (up or down) in component assembly output. It is theorized that NVIDIA is aiming to clear any stock backlogs of graphics card models featuring previous generation architecture - namely the second gen GeForce RTX 30-series, built on Ampere.
The retail demand for the newly released GeForce RTX 4070 cards has been mild, to say the least - with plenty of inventory remaining on the shelves in the States. Critical reception of the midweight GeForce RTX GPU has also been middling - many have advised that budget conscience buyers should potentially look elsewhere. The market for discrete graphics card is in a fairly healthy state at the moment, with major production issues and fractured supply chains becoming lesser concerns for electronics manufacturers. NVIDIA has the advantage of being a market leader, and seems to be quite content with proceedings - but their analysts are very likely keeping an eye on the RTX 4070 sales figures. Its products are out and readily available - no need to change direction too sharply.

$930 CAD then slap 13% tax on that for $1051 CAD
ya........keep relaxing..........................While I don't disagree, I wish vehicles were like that here, a new pickup truck pretty basic, as in no cruise control (but crew cab 4x4), I'm looking at $64,000 ish (CAD) w/o 13% tax and the winters here will completely destroy it in 10 years................................. :|

I really hate how they charge almost $6k for 3 more seats.........................bs
You’re not wrong about the limited utility and driving those away from the hobby. I’m honestly at the point where if Intel or AMD can’t give us a good value option in a couple of years (Nvidia won’t) then my pre-Covid era aged card may be the last proper gaming card I buy. I’d rather try a different hobby like motorcycles or rifles or something.
Datacenter revenue grew, but overall they are still down YoY largely driven by their gaming sector. Its something for Nvidia to keep an eye on.
