Ah, interesting... good spot. Gamers Nexus have been working with Nvidia on these issues and I’ve been watching their findings quite closely. Did look like a recall was inevitable.

They’ve updated the post to say it’s due to stock shortages, nothing to do with recall.
BUT! That’s not to say they’re telling the truth! Unfortunately the big players will say anything to protect their investors interests and it’s been known especially recently for them to flat out lie and come round with the truth a few weeks later.
Flipping heck. The few bits I've read about this don't suggest anything at all to do with shortages - just poor silicon would be my guess.

I’d have to agree, and the troubleshooting by well respected entities points that way too.
Hate it when companies pull this kind of trick. It was like Apple and their "you're holding it wrong" statements.
When you're paying - especially a premium - you should be respected for it and told the truth.
I just bought some solid aftershave to try. Got a note from Royal Mail saying it'd cost more in their fees to get through customs than the aftershave itself.
I mailed the company who I bought it from to say that although I did not blame them in the slightest for this, I wouldn't be held to ransom by their courier and pay their exhorbitant fees. They mailed back apologising, offering to cover the costs. I couldn't let them do that as they're not a big company and it'd not only have wiped out their profit, it'd have been a straight-up loss, so I've offered to go halves. Not in the same league in terms of costs, of course, but these companies could learn a thing or two about customer service.

Yep, totally agree.
Nvidia from what I’ve heard are taking a massive hit with the 2000 series. A few people preordered (why???), but as soon as the day tracing performance metrics went public, sales ground to a halt. They’ve downgraded their earnings estimate for this quarter by quite some margin and investors aren’t happy. This kind of reaction I think is to be expected. I’d they admit a recall, their stocks are going to nosedive.

The thing about the rtx series is, without Ray-tracing - what is it for?
I have tried the 1080ti and the 20280 ti in the same PC (both courtesy of work, not bought by me), OK, so I'm an old man with tired eyes, but I can't tell the difference (at 1440p) between 130 fps and 150fps. Maybe at 4K the difference is stark enough to matter, but that's not a massive market.
Does anyone know if they have kept up production of the 10 series, or are they just shifting existing stock?

They’re still producing the 10 series apart from the 1080ti which is totally finished.
Ray tracing has only just last week been enabled on windows and only if you updated to 1809. If you hadn’t there wouldn’t have been any difference other than increased frames.
