Nvidia’s subsequent era of GeForce GTX graphics playing cards might be right here as quickly as April, in keeping with the GPU hearsay mill, with their first public unveiling happening on the firm’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) subsequent month.
That’s in keeping with TweakTown, who spoke to a “well-placed source” within the graphics card enterprise. We love us some well-placed sources us.
These playing cards would substitute Nvidia’s present 10-series, which embrace the likes of the GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 and plenty of others that presently dominate our best graphics cards record. However, moderately than utilizing an 11-series naming conference, TweakTown reckons we’ll see Nvidia bounce as much as 20 as an alternative with the launch of the GeForce GTX 2080 and the GeForce GTX 2070 to be extra exact.
Whatever they find yourself being referred to as, although, the brand new GTX playing cards will allegedly use a refreshed model of Nvidia’s Ampere structure moderately than the high-end Volta structure that’s already been deployed in high-end playing cards just like the ludicrous Titan V (pictured above). This is supposed to be much more highly effective than Nvidia’s present Pascal structure, as seen within the GTX 10-series, in addition to extra energy environment friendly.
Hold on a second, I hear you cry. Wasn’t Volta meant to be Nvidia’s subsequent GPU structure? Yes, for a very long time it appeared as if Volta would certainly be the successor to Nvidia’s client line-up of Pascal playing cards. Now, nonetheless, it appears to be like as if it might be handed over in favour of what’s now generally known as Ampere, with Volta being reserved for Nvidia’s top-end playing cards alone.
Then once more, that very same well-placed supply additionally stated Nvidia will probably be displaying off one other utterly new GPU structure at GTC 2018, which might theoretically imply one thing totally different to each Volta and Ampere. Right now, the one different code title presently floating round out there’s something referred to as Turing in keeping with Reuters, so it might be the brand new GTX 2070 and GTX 2080 (or certainly the GTX 1170 and GTX 1180) playing cards will probably be Turing-based in any case, as a result of it might be bizarre to announce a brand-new GPU structure after which unveil a pair of playing cards based mostly on one thing older.
Who the hell is aware of, mainly. Still, if the rumours are to be believed, the present timeline for these GTX 2070 and GTX 2080 playing cards estimates a launch date someplace round late April to early May, which is fairly rattling quickly. Will they be topic to the present great GPU price hike crisis? Let’s hope not.
Either approach, we hopefully received’t have to attend very lengthy till we all know for certain, as GTC 2018 is because of happen subsequent month on March 26.
