Report: NVIDIA Not Unveiling 2018 Graphics Card Lineup at GDC, GTC After All

Probably more dependent on where TSMC are with their 12nm node. If yields are good it'll be cheaper to manufacture, or if they've more capacity on the 12nm vs 16nm, then why not move now. A smaller node should yield bigger profits sooner.

Also there's the memory shortage issue, if it can use more variants, there will be more availabilty. I assume Ampere will use GDDR5 on the mid range, GDDR6 on the top end. Just a guess though.

Not straight away, I stick with going ti to ti if the jump in performance is worth it for me.

But you won't be buying another 1080 Ti so NV need to get future products out to get people upgrading.
I've had the last two Titans but might not this time as the two 1070 Ti's I'm currently using are working well in the games I'm playing and likely will be as fast as the 1180 or 2080, but of course when the shiny new stuff comes out the temptation will be there :p. Didn't get a great deal of use out of the Titan Pascal really so should refrain, tend to go months without gaming!

Nope I won't be but if the gains at 3440x1440 gaming aren't huge I'll be waiting, the jump from a 980ti made playing games much better and allowed for more shiny stuff to be turned on.
 
All this speculation is no good for me... I have £700 ready to go and it’s literally burning through the ether. Not sure I can wait much longer!

Might be hoping if they bring a new card out at only £700 in the current climate sadly.

Well if the rumours are true I'll need to double it! sod that, ill keep my 1080ti.

The rumours are not based on anything sensible. They are based on the price of the Titan V which is a full size compute card that can also play games.

The next round of NVidia gaming cards are very unlikely to have much DP compute function at all as this increases manufacturing costs and also slightly reduces gaming performance.

I would be surprised if the next gen gaming cards cost much more than £600 at launch for the GTX 2080 or whatever NVidia want to call it. The performance won't be much better than a 1080 Ti either so £600 for the new card would be about right.

Yeah that's kinda where my thoughts lie also. Just gotta play the waiting game little while longer then my wife can inherit my Ti.

The Titan V is actually a good example of how wrong these price rumours are. As I said above it is a compute card and quite a bit faster than any Pascal compute card at DP work yet it is half the price of the older cards.

I agree it is probably the best move to play the waiting game when it comes to the next gen cards.:)

I wouldn't be surprised if they're quite happy to sit back and wait for a while. They're selling every chip they can make already with a mature architecture. There's really not much reason to release anything new, given that sales literally couldn't increase from what they are right now. Unless they're worried about the state of the PC gaming industry in general and want to try and "save" it with a dedicated mining architecture, which would potentially allow them to try and block mining on their gaming cards either at a hardware or software level, letting them have sales from both markets without them affecting each other.

If they print enough rumours they are going to be right eventually.

They've been operating like that for years. They post a rumour for every possible direction things can go in and then months later they ask us for a pat on the back while telling us how they predicted things could go this way.
I wouldn't be surprised if we found out they even make small edits to old articles so they can turn around, point to it and say We told you so. True bottom of the barrel reporting.

Crap nonsense gets a ton of views too judging by the cesspit comment section, maybe i should start a YT channel and make up rubbish just to get money.

That is exactly what they do, pretty sure they've been caught out with before/after screenshots many times.
 
AMD are currently focusing on CPU and GPU compute applications, gaming is down the list - at some point they will likely return to fight at the top like they have with the CPUs but that is down the line.
At the end of the day this is what the buying public wanted, AMD crushed and Nvidia to reign... isnt it?
 
this would be sad but a bit of complacency of nvidia this year can still AMD leapfrog them. They caught intel sleeping, and they can do it with Nvidia if Nvidia let them.

I don't think Nvidia are that silly.
