More competitor news:
Apparently, Nvidia is ready to release new GPUs. However, they are waiting until they have sold much of the excess inventory currently on the shelves.

NVIDIA Has A Stock of Over A Million Next-Gen GeForce Graphics Cards Waiting To Power Gaming PCs, Report Alleges
the mining market has gone stagnant since cryptocurrency took a hit, making medium sized crypto operations (these include individuals too) just go out of buisness while the bigger operations and related firms are cutting down on accquiring new mining machines.
there’s a huge stock of currentl-generation graphics cards that needs to go away before next-gen are shipped out to the market. The issue mainly arose after NVIDIA overestimated the mining demand, overproducing current gen GPUs which are now sitting idle as demand for these cards is at an all time low.
Sounds real good for Nvidia fans: The new stuff is ready to ship. Those who want a "bang per buck" bargain from Nvidia can buy from the current stock of GTX1080 (I assume SimHQ folks only want the big/fast cards). If prices drop a bit more, two in SLI might be interesting for some games. No indication of "bang per buck" GTX1080Ti, yet.
