3D Center is speculating that NVIDIA will release a GTX 2000 series GPU in April. Many assumed that this family would comprise modified Volta chips, but this rumor suggests that the cards will actually feature Ampere architecture. Some of this conjecture is based on the supposed discontinuation of the GP102 chips, which power the 1080 Ti and Titan.
All of this seems fitting: the second quarter was hinted at by earlier rumors for Ampere, which is also two years after the first Pascal chip (GP104 in May 2016). This is hardly an early appointment, as NVIDIA has never left too much time between two generations of graphics cards.
