why dont GPU manufacturers make sufficient stock to meet demand? It's so stupid right now in the GPU market. if you want one of the EVGA classified 980 Ti or Kingpin's your chance of getting it is next to nil. The kingpin's went out of stock in one minute. as for the 980 Ti classified's they went out of stock as soon as i got the email saying they were back in stock. My local store even stocked them yesterday and the store guy said they were gone in 5 minutes. so stupid! if there is this much demand for these types of cards and people are willing to pay a premium for it why dont you stupid idiots manufacturer more of them to meet demand?? I mean seriously dont EVGA want our money?? Even worse is the fact that A LOT of stores now are saying 'Limit one per household' what a bunch of BS!! so basically if you wanted to SLI these cards you're even more limited. I need to complete my pc build and im seriously thinkling of saying 'F it...im just gonna buy a stock 980 Ti or a freaken Titan X' sick of these companies taking absolutely forever to trickle out these non-reference designs.

Well, There's MSI. Go for it...
I'm sure for the other 6 million waiting in line for their 980ti, they will be thankful that there is only 5,999,999 more remaining.

if you want to know what I think its they are having a very hard time finding good chips to put into those classified's and Kingpin's if you want to get mad at anyone hit up Nvidia they are the ones that give EVGA chips not the other way around.
P55 Classified 200, CPU: I7 875k @ 4.2 GHz's, EVGA GTX 980 ti hybrid + Obsidian 900D, EK Supreme HF block, black ice gtx xtreme 360, corsair dominator platinum 8GB 1600MHz, sound blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty, supernova 1000 p2.

True,
but I m keep telling that 980TI chips are at least partly leftovers from the full TXs, so they might have had some stock initially, but now it could be gone..
So, yes, the supply may be low and the demand high.
ANd bear in mind that Nvidia sells the chips to the AIBs in batches and if they want 1000 good ASIC chips they have to buy2000/3000? worse or flat out bad ones/ASIC 52 and up that barely keep the stock clocks../

Because you know larger companies like you know apple & Google have never sold out of high in demands items.. oh wait yes they have.

And on the business side of things, assuming you have enough part supply in the first place, a company doesn't want to have an over abundance of stock because they have to pay taxes on that inventory. This, amongst other things, affects how much they want to have on hand.

If I was pointing the finger at anyone it would be NVIDIA. I've recently suspected it may be them that can't make enough chips to sell to the distributors like EVGA or MSI. Then there is also the problem that most people who are serious buy EVGA as they are usually better cards. It could also be that EVGA bought a future or got a contact from NVIDIA and cannot change the amount of chips they will receive for now. Or maybe it is EVGA not being able to produce enough, but by the time they upped production no one would be buying the card so it would be a loss. Lot of things to think about. But it would be interesting to hear from EVGA on how they deal with NVIDIA.

What kind of logic this should be ? Apple and Google /?/ are compared to a graphic card manufacturer ? You are comparing apples to plums ..
But never mind , you mean that it is normal that Classifieds and KINGPIN and recently even reference models from EVGA were weeks long sold out ?
I do not.

I guess they should hire an economist so they can meet demand with supply adequately through predictions of consumers. But maybe they already have one and he just didn't see a lot of people buying it like if they already had the TITAN X (etc). I still don't get why the TITAN X owners switched. Also the card may of been predicted as a flop by some once after the release of HBM memory on the Fury X, but that wasn't the case and demand grew if anything even after AMD released the Fury X because the cards were so close instead. Lot of things to consider and over production is lost money.

Nvidia is controlled by China,(check the stickers on your pcb's) always has been , always will be....
that just life....I don't plan to stand in front of a tank, will just wait for the right moment to click buy now, if, when it happens...
EVGA can only sell what they get, as any other vendor does!

No clue. hold off until you have a nice volume in stock, THEN ship to retailers.

NVIDIA doesn't want to wait and give AMD the head start and EVGA doesn't want to wait and give MSI/GIGABYTE/ASUS a headstart. Time is money and NVIDIA doesn't want to hurt their investors.
