NVIDIA’s CFO, Colette Kress, highlighted some important aspects of their gaming business including the existing channel inventory and their recent GeForce RTX 4090 \/ 4080 launch.<\/p>\n
Colette Kress, NVIDIA’s Chief Financial Officer, stated that they have been under-shipping GPUs in the gaming segment for some time. This was revealed during the Credit Suisse 26th Annual Tech conference. We know that the market was recently flooded with an over-excess of used GPUs due to the crypto craze coming to an end and with prices falling down on last-gen GPUs, both in retail and used markets, there was little to no demand for any more GPUs. With that said, NVIDIA is now starting to refresh its older RTX 30 GPUs with new offerings and resuming shipments to stabilize its channel inventory and backlog.<\/p>\n
The company expects that their channel inventory would be back to normal by the end of Q4 and they will resume shipments starting 1H 2023. The company also anticipates building up its channel for the Ada launch and all the additional Ada-based GPUs (Desktops\/Workstations \/Laptops) coming to the market.<\/p>\n
\nSo we have been under-shipping. We have been under-shipping gaming at this time so that we can correct that inventory that is out in the channel.<\/p>\n
And as we discussed, we plan, hopefully, by the end of Q4, as we approach the end of Q4, that we will be in a solid position to that. That means as we move forward, we will start to get back up. We’ll get to some point of an equilibrium between sell-through and sell-in. And then we will likely get to where we’ll be selling in to build the channel for our Ada launch and all of the additional Island products that we will see coming to market.<\/p>\n

Kress also reports that NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 are still in their early days. We know from our previous reports that NVIDIA had shipped around 160,000 RTX 40 series graphics cards since the mid of November. This number might be higher now but we also know that bulk of the shipments includes the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card which has been the highlight launch of the Ada family so far. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 on the other hand hasn’t seen as much of a response as the RTX 4090 owing to its poor performance to dollar value. Even scalpers who got the cards and tried to sell them at absurd prices are resorting to selling them at the MSRP since no one is interested in them.<\/p>\n
\nAda is just in the early days right now of shipping. We have shipped, one of our very high-end cards are 4090 and our 4080 is just now starting to sell as well.<\/p>\n
