This would also line up with statements made by parts manufacturers such as cooling fan maker Power Logic that stated it expects shipments to increase in the third quarter. The company makes fans used by global graphics card brands so it probably has an idea of Nvidia's roap, particularly with the rumoured GeForce GTX 1170 and 1180 GPUs.

That said, he could be referring to an impending price cut. According to Digitimes, due to obscene amounts of current inventory of 10-series video cards, we could see steep discounts on existing GPUs that may extend to Power Logic's August time frame.

With cryptocurrency miners also expected to begin selling their used graphics cards to the retail channel, vendors are expected to introduce major price cuts to compete," a post from Digitimes reads.
