Nvidia Ampere might launch as GeForce GTX 2070 and 2080 on April 12th

They've been running production of something for awhile - I'm surprised we've not seen any kind of announcement by now. Also supposedly were using a boat load of 12GBps GDDR5X for something awhile back unless that went into the Star Wars Titans - bit fuzzy on the details there off the top of my head.
Any production later in the year I'd assume would be 7nm.
NVidia are still restocking their site with Titan Xp and 1080 Ti cards regularly so that could explain the GDDR5X usage.
Bit annoying they didn't bring the SW Titans out a bit earlier - itching to buy one but it probably isn't a good idea at this point - though currently I'm mostly playing The Division and older games so my 1070 isn't really taxed.
The SW Titans are nice cards.
My one is a tiny bit faster than my other 3 normal Xp cards.
If any one thinks about getting a pair of SW Titans for SLI they need to be careful what motherboard they use as it would be difficult fitting them next to each other as the ring around the fan is raised and would cause problems.
Hard to say rummor of whatever the next consumer gen is (Ampere, Turing, Volta? ) have varied a lot of late. Some of the more recent leaks suggest later this year around September for actual launch! Given that Nvidia are likely to launch the xx70 and xx80 cards first and given that these cards traditionally have been positioned, performance wise, a bit below and a bit above the previous gen xx80ti it might be worth getting a 1080ti now if you are really feeling the need for an upgrade.
Thanks for the reply. Might wait till the end of the month and see how things are looking. Also will of been paid by then

BAck then die sizes and power enverlopes where not maxed out so they had a abit more freedom there to push performance, most of the FX 5000 was trash anyways.
The NV38/35 was 207mm² (FX5950ultra) on the 130nm process, NV43 (6600GT) was not that far behind at 150mm² on the 130nm process, While the GP106 (GTX 1060) is 200mm², GP104 was 314 mm²
I think the biggest high end GPU's where GM200 at 601 mm² and if you want to count it GV100 at 815 mm²
In short GPU's have gotten a lot bigger in all segments since those days but I do like you miss the days where the current gen mid range would nutt the last gen high end.
Older processes like 130nm, etc. had different reticle sizes for transfer and/or other lithography related considerations compared to today which had implications for the maximum die size you could produce 200mm2 was a reasonably big die back then - this is why I can't really agree with Caracus2k because it isn't like these things are unknowns and especially these days its not difficult to find out how much a given die size is pushing the boundaries of what is possible though there might be other considerations like frequency that make it more complex if you are really picky about it.

Don't do it, not now. Not unless you're ok with being behind the curve in 2 months.

well, seems time frame from H2/Q3 of July has been pushed back 
should take to long for this to float out - hopefully with a reason . 1080Ti prices are going to soar high... cant remember the date they cut production of it

And you can’t find one for rrp anyway, they’re sold out on NVIDIA’s website and £1400-£1500 on amazon, eBay, etc. Well unless I’m missing something, I was looking a few days back as the 1080ti are like £1000 anyway I thought might as well look at the sw titan xp.
Got the evga ftw3 for £780 from the members market on here the other day as I already mentioned in my last reply on here.
Yah man he died not far off 400 years ago
Made me chuckle
I can only assume that this will be the announcement keynote, hopefully there will be a live stream for those that are interested.

shame its not going to hit July - was the original roadmap for vendors at the start of the year - luckily the dela isn't to long
was also Turing that appeared on roadmaps
