You wouldn't want to come to the pub with me then. You've got to admit that he does his research and isn't afraid to call folk out, including himself. Quite refreshing.

If he is a drinking person I think I could get used to his voice.

They do if you drink Bacardi by the pint.

He does seem to have some good qualities after all.

Quite happy to indulge a few dozen beverages myself, and you know what - i sound just like a west of Scotland* alchi as well

* South west, where all the non glesgy puffs live

Pfft, the 80s, when it was perfectly acceptable to ginger up.

I've seen this as well. It sounds about right, but is still belive it's not. I'm sure we will see something at GTC, but I'm not sure what.

We’ve spoken with the graphics giant and it seems there won’t be a new graphics card launched at the Game Developers Conference next month, and that Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference will just offer more about deep-learning, artificial intelligence, and self-driving brum brum cars.

Complete BS. If they really spoke to Nvidia they would be under NDA. Nvidia won't tell anyone until they make a public announcement

This ^

NVidia will release new cards this year as it is guaranteed sales from people looking to upgrade from the 10XX series.

As above, either click bait or they're extremely naive. Even if that were true, it's only an indication towards Computex which is a stones throw away.

TeraVirus · 17 Feb 2018 at 16:27

Plenty of people 900 series and below, including myself, want to upgrade.

It would be stupid not to release something new.

I'm sure I saw something similar to this a couple of months ago but I can't remember where...

If Volta hasn't turned out to be the chip nVidia hoped for, working best in compute workloads and not translating well to gaming, why bother going to all the effort bringing a GTX version when they have the luxury of waiting until the next chip is ready?

The 10 series are still selling well and still sit on top performance wise with no sign of being deposed anytime soon by the competition, so I can see why they would just leave Volta to the compute market and wait for whatever comes next to arrive.

Yes, that's the problem with a lack of competition. Let's hope Nvidia feel the need to release new cards anyway to power those new Gsync HDR 4K screen that will hopefully accompany them.

There's a shortage of GPUs to buy and production of existing GPUs has either scaled down or stopped. Yes, they could revamp production on existing products but then they wouldn't entice owners of older units to upgrade. So producing new models is a win-win. From that perspective it doesn't matter if AMD don't provide competition. Nvidia are competing to both stay on top, and reap extra profits from offering an upgrade to an existing product.
