Wild speculation time: Nvidia Ampere might launch as GeForce GTX 2070 and 2080 on April 12th

Have those cards actually been in stock until today? They're well below current market prices, so I'm skeptical being OOS has anything to do with launching the new series.
Yes. NVIDIA always sells cards at MSRP. Only retailers do market adjustments.

correct. they've been out of stock more than they've been in stock for the last two months - so that particular logic makes no sense.
 
Hoping for an end to this madness soon. I've got a PC build from 3 years ago that needs some attention. Crazy thing is that I could sell my graphics card now and make almost as much as I paid for it new, 3 years ago. (290x)

do it!
why wait?

Dumb question, but does NVLink have a practical reason to be implemented into consumer mobos? Maybe 3-5 years down the road?
Seems like having a 300gb/s throughput multi-gpu bandwith would be beneficial to even a consumer CPU/Multi-GPU setup, or is NVlink complete overkill?
I always thought it would be very wise for Nvidia/AMD to push technologies forward that allow for better multi-GPU consumer set-ups. I mean, to them, its great if we all had 3 GPUs in our systems.

*Don't flame me ya bastards Im only 4 years old*
 
This is the full version of Nvidia GTC 2018 technological conference on March 27, 2018

Yeah, I sat through the whole thing. Some of it was pretty cool, but not a peep about anything in the consumer lineup. The cool card he showed was this one:

So double the memory of the Titan V and a cool new interconnect called NVLink2 that basically makes all 64GB of HBM2 RAM available to both GPUs at full bandwidth.

What I read was NVIDIA's next-gen: GTX 11 series, not the GTX 20 series that was rumoured, Yes it's all looks very cool technology from NVidia on the new GPU But we would have wait to see it come true.
 
Tweaktown's rumors have been all wrong so far. I'll believe the naming scheme when I see it.
I'd prefer 20 just because it's cleaner than 11, however 11 is more likely and makes the most sense. What if it's NEITHER and they introduce a totally new naming scheme?

Either way idgaf.

You might care if they pull a titan x, though it would be funny as hell if they just launched them as the 1050-1060-1070-1080
 
I'm fully expecting a new naming scheme to obfuscate the fact that the '1080/1070' parts will be more in line with where a '1070/1060' would land for gaming, but will mine like motherfuckers, and so cost more.

And I don't think we'll see a Titan first this time.
 
Mining has gone to shit lately. Prices should drop if they are actually supplying cards. I think in December I was making $4/card/day. Now it's like $1 and a two year ROI.

It looks like fleabay is finally dropping below MSRP.

The used market might be very very good for us when the 1180 drops...

Here hoping to get a 1080ti for $300 or less! But yeah GPU mining is falling more and more by the day. With all these GPU out there mining causing the difficulty to sky rocket. I am sure abunch of people that shelled out $1k+ on 1080ti will not see a ROI or very little after selling the cards for cheap. Once Volta drops the market will return to normal soon after. The performance increase won't be able to over come the difficulty of mining we seeing spiking now.

Good luck with that.

The more you buy, the more you save! Was I supposed to do that myself? What Color is that? Do I smell burnt toast?
 
I'm not sure the current top card - the 1080TI will drop quite that fast.

There is no new Direct X version or technology on the immediate horizon that we are aware of that the next consumer card will have that the 1080TI does not. Also the 1080TI is outrageously fast as is. There aren't any games really putting the hurt on it yet. It's so much faster (about 35%) than anything else out there in the consumer space currently (aside from Titan XP)

I do think the value of anything below the 1080Ti will plummet hard when the new cards release.
 
No need to release anything when nothing compares to their top dog.

They just need to drop prices for us.. thank ye!
 
But when you talk about a new gaming card sold at $800 - $900 I think Nvidia is going to do is skip Volta for gaming entirely and focus on Ampere think about it Volta was for AI and machine learning applications, as for the memory they mighty use the GDDR6X because HBM2 memory to compare that to GDDR5X is expensive just to use for gaming card! IMO, also AMD has had their fair share of problems with HBM2 memory.

No, what it's saying is that NVIDIA held an event on May 6, 2016 to announce the 1070 and 1080. The poster's point was that NVIDIA doesn't have to wait for trade shows to announce new products.
He edited the post and changed the wording. It originally said Nvidia just sent out invites for an upcoming event in May.

Depends. If the 1180 is $550 and as fast or faster than the 1080ti the 1080ti will drop like a rock.

Revenue. When no competition exists keeping revenue up is the reason. If they don't release a better card their revenue will go down.

$800 for the 2080. I've been saying that for several months. I'm still pinning it right there.

and I agree with you on the content of the article. Junk

This quote in particular

With this in mind the GeForce GTX 2080 should land at somewhere between 30-50% more performance than what GTX 1080 SLI is capable of, but with lower power consumption and improved performance at higher resolutions.

maybe he meant LESS, because there's NO WAY A 2080 IS GOING TO BE 30-50% faster than a 1080 SLI setup. NO WAY.

*in games that don't scale in SLI.
 
excited to see what the performance gains will be, but i probably wont upgrade from my 1080ti until there is a single card solution for 4K144 ultra. But then you'll have the display availbility issue.
 
Gddr6 not in production for almost 3 months. Wouldn't expect anything before 5 or 6 months time.

Mass production in 3 months. 8Gb chips have been available from SK Hynix since January, at least, and Samsung has had 16Gb chips since the same timeframe.

Hmmm but will they use the good stuff or the cheap stuff? After the inductors recently, maybe they'll use the cheap stuff on their premium gaming cards...
