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

Guys you're going to be waiting sometime yet. It appears nvidia are only just looking at clearing pascal cards when you see gibbo drop some prices then you know nvidia will be looking at revealing the new cards soon. Then you will still be waiting a couple months till that release then probably. So well into 2h like i always said all the way back in 2017. Enjoy your cards for a while longer yet I'll probably stick onto my 1080ti as i don't do much gaming nowa days but still keep upto date with new tech!

It will be here in 2-3 months I think. I will just pick up a founders edition one this time as I don’t fancy waiting a few months for aftermarket cards. I can then sell for a aftermarket card later if need be.

I dunno what to do, the GTX1080 seems so powerful I just want to pull it out and give it a big hug! And look at it, even in 2018 and be like WOW! But I dunno....

 

[WantoN]

I always get founders edition, not sure why.

3 months ish for new cards, 12 for the ti, I’ve got a long wait!

 

[humbug]

I don't think so.

Ah, isn't nVidia's GPU monopoly great? turned out just as we had hoped.

Wish I could have said the same, but at 4K these days with games like Final Fantasy 15 you really need 1080Ti performance at a bare minimum. That is why I sold my 1080 once I was done playing games I wanted. From the top of my head I have not gamed on the PC for months now.

4k it plays fine just turn the odd thing down that doesn't make any visual difference.

AMD aren't entirely without blame, no matter that certain members here would like their corporate logo to have a halo above it.

AMD have made many ****-ups that have put them in this position. It's almost entirely their own fault. There's a little bit of consumer bias against them, but their failures with Bulldozer et al are 100% on them.

Too late sold it now

Not long left, I have been wanting to get my hands on new tech anyway. Vega was exciting tech, but just never had the performance to go with it

I played the beta on a 670 on low settings at 1080p and I was getting 40fps, just felt awful.

Agree completely. All I'm looking for in the next gen. is something along the same lines as the 1080 in terms of performance, but at a lower price.

Probably won't arrive until the tail-end of the year in third-party cards, but I don't see any games coming along in the interim that would force my hand, so I'll just wait - and wish - patiently.

Yeah, about that... we may be disappointed, even if that's all we're after.

Prices set to rise again like they did from 9 series to 10 series, according to most rumours. And hints from certain posters here.

Given that 16FF has matured - not sure about current 12FF on yields/price - it wouldn't surprise me if nVidia tried to keep the Pascal gravy train going even if they do introduce a new line - maybe shuffling the current Pascal cards down the lineup and sticking in a couple of (non-Pascal) new halo cards.

 

[WantoN]

I’d be gobsmacked if we saw lower pricing.

We’ll see decent performance gains at current-ish pricing imo.

Can definitely see this, especially if the rumour about the new architecture's performance improvements are centred more around DX12/Vulkan than DX11 and previous (which is fine by me, I'd prefer a more forward looking architecture).

While nVidia has released cards at all kind of points they often target June or November so that would be my guesses for the next releases.

 

[FoxEye]

June 2019 it is, then

This is going to go the Intel CPU route - we'll get drip fed marginal performance increases from nVidia until someone comes along to rival them.

Quite.

 

[HRL]

Well that’s alright as I only need something a little bit better than a 1080Ti!
