NVIDIA: GeForce RTX 2000 series may not be available

Posted on Thursday, August 30 2018 @ 18:56 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

HotHardware did an hour-long interview with Tom Petersen, the Director of Technical Marketing at NVIDIA. Turing was one of the main talking points but there's some bad news. Petersen hinted that the suggested retail pricing of the GeForce RTX series cards is unlikely to be attained at launch due to the "demand/supply equation".

Tom Petersen had this to say on the HotHardware webcast: "The partners are basically going to hit the entire price point range between our entry level price, which will be $499, up to whatever they feel is the appropriate price for the value that they're delivering. (...) In my mind, really the question is saying 'am i gonna ever see those entry prices?' And the truth is: yes, you will see those entry prices. And it's really just a question of how are the partners approaching the market. Typically when we launch there is more demand than supply and that tends to increase the at-launch supply price."
