PC sales abruptly tanked this quarter<\/a>, so Nvidia, like Intel<\/a>, is suddenly under the gun. What are you going to do about the billions of dollars of growth that just went up in smoke<\/a>, investors tend to ask! But while that\u2019s an annoying situation for Nvidia during today\u2019s Q2 earnings<\/a>, it\u2019s an intriguing one for gamers like you and me \u2014 because Nvidia tried to placate those investors by revealing that exciting things may be on the way. <\/p>\n

First: discounts! <\/strong>Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed what we\u2019ve suspected for months<\/a>: Nvidia actually built too many <\/em>gaming GPUs and is now being forced to sell them for less money. \u201cWe found ourselves with excess inventory,\u201d says Huang. \u201cOur strategy is to sell-in well below the current sell-through levels in the marketplace to give the channel an opportunity to correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve implemented programs with our partners to price-position the product in the channel in preparation for our next generation,\u201d he also said on the call. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what that sounds like to me: In order to sell as many RTX 3000 graphics cards and chips as it can before the RTX 4000 series begins to arrive this fall, it\u2019s cutting prices \u2014 to distributors anyhow. <\/p>\n
