Nvidia's investors can now breathe easy, as the latest fiscal year report shows decent gains throughout 2018. Things are not looking good for gaming GPUs, though, since the report shows sales in this sector were almost halved compared to 2017. Nevertheless, Nvidia keeps an optimistic outlook for 2019, with RTX 2000-series GPUs expected to see increased adoption.

Cards are just overpriced by almost 200 dollars a card. Real gamers could give 2 shits about raytracing at this point in time if they cant have 144fps on their monitors. Who ever thought less fps in a first person shooter was a good idea doesn't know their target audience. This tech is going to be dead for 2 more years until they perfect the performance issues with it enabled. Only has use for single player games which is now one of the smaller markets of gaming. Most people play games with large playerbase and multiplayer features now. And dlss and raytracing is just a waste of extra cost. Would have been fine had the cards released at the prices they should have and the dlss and rtx were extra features like they should be. Nvidia would have a positive gaming rather than negative 45. It's ok tho. Tells me to stay away from nvidia since they are trying to gouge the market and push prices higher than they should be. You would sell more and make more profit if they were cheaper so it really doesn't make sense to me to sell it so overpriced and just get laughed at by the gaming community. Then telling your stockholders it's going to be ok once you release these cheaper cards. Sure people will buy them. But not at the rate they think. People want the 2070 performance at 300 dollars not something that has half that.

Yep! These cards are damn expensive. I may just wait till the next series. Hopefully Nvidia learns their lesson and makes the cards a little less expensive. More on oar with the 1000 series.

The first paragraph in the article is a big fat lie!

They expected $2.7b dollars but had to adjust it down by half a billion to $2.2b causing a massive stock DROP and alot of pissed off investors

how can you get so little information so wrong? Makes me think this was deliberately fake news to make nvidia look good.

What a disappointment

It's kind of funny. The crypto market boomed for a little over a year, and inflated costs of GPU's. Less supply and more demand equals higher prices. Now that the infatuation with crypto is gone, and the major coins have devalued immensely last year. Nvidia is sitting on a s***-ton of GPU's that aren't selling. Gamers can't afford them, and miners of bitcoin can't even get in the black with the most optimized coin mining environments due to the finite amount of coins.

Well boys and girls, that can only mean one thing. We hold out a little longer on buying new GPU's, and if absolutely necessary buy used ones from verified buyers on eBay. We can cause those prices to plummet. Nvidia will be forced to offer promotional sales. If we hold out on the first round of sales the next will come in the following month or two. Then we could be looking at a 20 to 25% sale on new RTX cards. Fingers crossed.

What you are talking about happened almost a month ago. I was referring to the price spike that happened on the day they released the report.(https://i.imgur.com/b3Iy2sN.png)
