That's actually an interesting article and one that I will remember but fail to use it when the time comes, as I will be proper drunk no doubt
And sums up pretty much all of wccftech "rumour?" articles-

I'm excited for this thread it may have some legs, in fact this time next year when volta might actually be out we might be able to talk about something sensble
While this would be interesting news, one look at the source as WCCFTech and I'm ignoring it. I'll only consider it being legit if a more reputable place is the source of the news. Whatever happened to banning WCCFTech (cos of their BS, lying/nonsense articles)?
We'd never have anything to talk about.

Thinking the vram difference is going to be very small from the 1080Ti up to the next xx70/80 cards, probably 1GB.
Every article is quoting a Chinese website called mydrivers.com which someone on the HardOCP forums translated. I'll believe it when I see it but I'll be more than a little ****** if it's true after waiting so long for the 1080 Ti.

Didn't 1080ti come out 10 months after 1080? Doesn't sound like long to wait to me.
Yeh but that's a product refresh, not an entirely new architecture. And we're talking 6 months here.

It's Q3 2017 right now, with Q4 beginning on the 1st July. That means the Volta card would have to come by the end of June. But nVidia released their GTX 1080 11Gbps variant literally yesterday. And several companies like Galax and EVGA have yet to release their custom 1080 Tis. In fact, last I checked, OCUK won't have custom EVGA cards until the 19th May. That would mean EVGA 1080 Ti owners would only get to use their cards for 1 month and 11 days before the release of Volta! (Assuming next-day delivery, otherwise the period is even shorter, lol.)
This is why I find it extremely difficult to believe that a Volta, especially a high-end one like the GTX 2080, will be released this year, let alone by the end of June.

Ok, I checked nVidia's website, and it seems that they use August to October as their Q3: http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-third-quarter-fiscal-2017
I based my dates on the quarters used by the US government, and I falsely assumed that all US companies did so as well.
So, disregard my previous post.

Could well be a Maxwell 750ti situation, where they release something mid market that is cheap but as fast as a previous gen x60 card, that worked really well for them.

Yeah, the severe lack of availability of the AIB cards in particular backs that theory up.
This. It will 12-18 months before we get full fat gaming GPUs.
Or they are only making a handful as Volta is coming next monthYeah, the severe lack of availability of the AIB cards in particular backs that theory up.
