You are completely speculating about the delay and from what I can see there is no evidence to support it. As far as we know up to this point, from various news sites citing their industry sources, Ampere will be announced and then released in Q3/Q4. I have seen nothing about any delays to 2021 in any articles.

But these articles are speculation, or chinese-whispers at best.
Absolutely, generally ocuk are more expensive than most retailers in the UK, lost count how many times I’ve found an item £50+ cheaper looking elsewhere.Just noticed the "lockdown deals" thread got locked down. Lol.
The silly pricing is clearly starting to get to people. Hopefully nvidia take heed and price their stuff properly. As usual I will buy from whoever is the most competitive

Not delays in release but delays in manufacturing they may well give it a paper launch in Aug but you will be lucky to get a purchase then. Probably be on pre-order for about 3/4 months. What do you count as a release, where you can actually buy stock or not ?
It is consistent stated as a Q3/Q4 release from their sources, compared to delays to 2021 of which I have seen no information. https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDI...rack-for-a-late-Q3-2020-release.459373.0.html
I mean released as in after they are announced and we can order them. I haven't yet seen anything about 3 to 4 month manufacturing delays. It's possible initial supply may be more limited, of course.

Just been reading an article about the Playstation 5 over at Gure3d, it makes you think do we as gamers really need to be thinking about buying new generation graphic cards or for that matter building new PC`s, in the coming years at some point consoles will be more than adequate and for most gamers with the release later this year of the new xbox and PlayStation 5 they already are.

It still looks like quite some console games will run at 30fps
I'd saybpc still has its place, still the only co sis tent way to run games at high framerates

not with stupid lame quotes like this
So as I already have SSD's must mean my PC is better than a PS5 ? Muppets.

Sure, if you have no hobbycraft interest in PC's to with the gaming addiction and have no need for muscle in any other desktop application... then I'm sure life as a casual console pleb is worth settling for less with

No, you’ve misread the quote. It’s quite obviously saying that the PS5 storage tech is more advanced than current PC SSD’s, so PC SSD’s will have to catch up with the console variants, which has never needed or happen before. PC’s have always been far ahead.
Soldato
No it's meant because the PS5 ssd is faster than any consumer ssd currently on the market.
I'm not so sure that CV will impact the release date. Most of this stuff is automated to heck & back and very little human-human interaction is required in the manufacture. Plus there is the money issue: Nvidia can only charge huge amounts before the consoles arrive.
He also more referring to what they are planning to do with the fast SSD in the ps5, streaming assets/textures etc.most PC users have an HDD/SSD of varying read/write speeds and not everyone has a high speed NVM drive so that isn't standardised on PC yet.
How that will impact games on PS5 nobody really knows yet. But the fact that they know every PS5 will have super fast read/write access on the drive is an advantage
Soldato
If you believe the hype of course...
I've not misread the quote, consoles never had a SSD suddenly PC market has to catch up (despite having SSD's for years) because they are getting a SSD (WOW!) and its faster than the ones for the PC. Marketing clutching at straws. Take your OCUK forum head off for the moment and Average Joe Target Audience will read that and think yeah the PS5 is better than a PC because its got a faster SSD. Smoke and mirrors.

Ha ha when every single new console generation comes out we here the same spiel about it being the same as a top of the line pc.
Which it sometimes is but soon quickly becomes the level of a pants one.
I also want more ram than the leaks suggest, why would I want less on a upgrade than my 1080ti has.

The B.S. is free to flow because we don't have access to the hardware & software in order to independently test the claims and measure their validity. Pay attention to how, e.g. Tim Sweeny is quick to point out it's "not about the drive speed but about the whole system integration" mumbo-jumbo, because obviously we do know the speed differences between drives (and other tech, Optane etc). Of course, by the time we do get to test it out people will forget and they'll weasel their way out, then the cycle will repeat for the next console launch etc.
