Are Pascal GPUs really still tight? At my local Fry's, there were these large baskets that you see on Black Friday full with GTX 1080s. The racks were full of 1070s and 1060s as well.

If you follow it back to digitimes it seems it is not a statement from Nvidia, in fact it may be based upon same information that Bits and Chips/SemiAccurate have been saying about supply (which does not align with some regions who were able to sell a lot of them).
It may be an issue for some distributors but for many there seems a healthy supply, albeit not every single card by every manufacture in stock but definitely a broad selection available for all models.
TBH I think it is easier to get a broad choice of custom Pascal than it is to get a broad choice of custom 480/470.

It's also possible they have plenty of cards, but restrain shipments to keep prices inflated. Provide all the cards retailers require, but ship them infrequently enough to maintain a few backorders.

Prices do seem to be falling .... Custom GTX 1070's can be bought under $400.

That could be a possibility, or it could be that demand is greater than the maunfacturing line/logistics/shipping planned from the business forecast models and Nvidia is refusing to increase costs by expanding capacity for brief sale surges/spikes.
I think AMD has been caught like this a few times with Polaris as well, with brief term sales spikes and not increasing production/logistics beyond planned levels.

That one has been available on and off for the past 2 months. Nothing has changed.
If it had been half an inch shorter I would have considered getting that over the Asus card that I got. Regards,

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else been disappointed with how long all the 16/14nm cards have been? the cards are mostly in the 9-10 inch range, like they are trying to cool some 290X's.That one has been available on and off for the past 2 months. Nothing has changed.

Yeah it does seem a very limited selection from both AMD and Nvidia IHVs that could be deemed short cards for the 480 and 1060, ironically they seem to perform identical or nearly as well as the full custom models.

Amazon adds Nvidia GPU firepower to its compute cloud
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/236676-amazon-adds-nvidia-gpu-firepower-to-its-compute-cloud
Interesting 100 million per year, didn't someone say its a very tiny amount in the past
Sorry had to pat myself on the back on that one!
It's not much for NVIDIA though (only ~2% of its 2015 revenue). Apparently most Macs are now using integrated GPU.

NVIDIA Corporation's New Gaming Graphics Cards Seeing Fast Adoption
http://www.fool.com/investing/2016/10/09/nvidia-corporations-new-gaming-graphics-cards-seei.aspx
What a surprise, Tesla to team up with Nvidia on next gen autonomous driving system:

First significant design win for Tegra post phone/tablet era ? How much income will this deal generate ?

Well that puts it to bed to some extent about the reported 'supply issues' for Nvidia compared to AMD and where the gains for AMD came from last quarter (I thought it would not be consumer Polaris).
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/
AMD 480 in September has 0.18% footprint, growth of 0.07% over previous month.
Nvidia 1070 in September has 0.87% footprint with growth of 0.27% over previous month, the 1080 has 0.53% with growth 0.05% over previous month.
And the 1060 in September has 0.46% footprint, growth of 0.29% over previous month, while the 470 has 0.05% footprint and with growth of 0.04% over previous month
So the 1080 on its own is comfortably beating combined 480 and 470 and the growth needs to increase a fair bit for AMD to catch up to it.
While this does not reflect all consumers, Steam has a very large user base.
I must say I would had thought the figure for the 480 would be higher,but I think it is being hurt by the custom AIB being hard to buy/less options than Nvidia until recently and their prices are generally comparable to custom AIB 1060 when looking at Asus/MSI as examples that are generally cooler-quieter (and I think this is still important to consumers).
And also July figures show that Pascal was selling much better than Polaris at launch going by that month's footprint, relative to Steam clients that is.

Graphics specialist NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is having a strong year as its long-term bets in four key markets -- gaming, automotive, data center, and professional visualization -- pay off. Revenue, gross profit margin, and share price are all hitting all-time highs.
...
In fiscal 2016, NVIDIA's data center business generated $339 million in revenue. Compared with the $5.01 billion in overall revenue this business generated that year, it's relatively small at just 6.8% of sales.
However, it's worth noting a couple of things. First, from fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2016, NVIDIA's data center business grew at a roughly 40% compound annual revenue growth rate, making it the second-fastest growing business in that period after its automotive efforts.
...
Perhaps more importantly, though, that growth rate appears to have accelerated during the first half of the company's fiscal year; NVIDIA's data center growth rates in the first and second quarters of the current fiscal year came in at 63% and 110%, respectively .
Should NVIDIA be able to keep these kinds of growth rates up, its data center business could rapidly become a substantial portion of the company's revenue base.
...
The products that NVIDIA sells in this segment are extremely lucrative. According to an NVIDIA investor presentation from last year, the company's data center products carry significantly higher gross profit margins relative to its corporate average:
http://www.fool.com/investing/2016/10/11/nvidia-corporations-data-center-business-3-things.aspx
It's one thing for a developing market (deep learning) to go up 60% quarter over quarter from $151M to $240M, but their gaming revenue alone also went up 60% from $781M to $1244M. For a mature market, that's absolutely stunning.
This increase is larger than the total AMD computing and graphics BU revenue of $472M.
