NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 on March 15th and GTX 1650 on April 30th?

varkkon:

So are the 2000s going to grind all through 2019 and at best we get a 1680 Ti or what ever it will be called with out RTX and be the same perf as the 2080 Ti but for a lower price? Probably no 3000s or 7nm 2000s this year hey. Since PCIe 4.0 drops this year I sort of thought Nvidia would want to pump out a card to run on that tech but I guess they will just do a pass for now. I really wonder if Navi will force anything out Nvidia this year and if Nvidia has anything planed just in case.

It's still hard to say what Nvidia is up to at this point. We know they're using the cut and partially defunctional chips in the cards they release now, but I doubt we will see any "2080TI without RT" since those cut down chips probably make it to the 2070 / 2060 respectively. With PCIe 4.0, I guess they will offer something for that tech, but they might merely hold onto their cards until AMD releases their next Navi top dog, seeing how it goes (and how it's priced), and then they'll release their "answer". But that's just speculation at this point.

In the old days there was a new release about once a year. But since stuff was a bit slower recently, with Pascal, there was a bigger gap. So maybe we can see 7nm Turing or whatever new architecture for the holiday season (ie. christmas), or maybe we won't. PCIe 4.0 is really in no hurry, since PCIe bandwidth is not a limiting factor for current graphics cards. They'll probably support it on the next generation, or maybe the one after, but I doubt they would use it as a reason to rush something out.

yup, as I said. this is why AMD is dropping their Polaris prices. pretty sad.

Sad thing is that nvidia didnt have answer to polaris before march 2019.

Dropping your prices means you have no real answer to the competition. but I guess that's nothing new from the Radeon team at AMD.

Can you stop with saying the same thing in almost every topic? We get it, you aren't happy with AMD.

Great to hear about this cards , competition is a great thing for all consumers , bring it on i say ...

It´s going to be interesting if the GTX cards sell like crazy and the RTX cards continue to sell poorly...

I'm not against or in favor of one company or another. who ever innovates and is competitive gets praise and who ever makes promises and hype but fails get criticized. this is how the tech community should act. I'm a huge supporter of Ryzen as it is competitive and innovative. I wish I could say the same for RTG.... let me show you what false promises are: you talk crap, you get crap right back at you.

It's not talking crap, it's as simple as this. Every topic you have been a part of regarding either GPU manufacturer, it's the same thing. Again we get it, you aren't happy. Uping your post count to say the same thing does nothing except draw attention to yourself.

Maybe he should buy a gpu in the first place then talk about one. Those 1660's look good, maybe he'll get one and finally stop talking trash.

wait so I'm not allowed to express my opinion now? you can always ignore my comments instead you go and respond to me. I wonder why...

You can stop now. Last warning. Also stop double posting!

My gut tells me that Navi will be 4.0 for sure and the 1st GPUs to roll with it, be interesting what the benefits are in real game performance with a fresh mobo + tech and CPU, NVMe etc.

There is practically no significant difference between PCIe 3.0 8x and PCIe 3.0 16x today, as many people have tested over the years, so moving to 4.0 won't really offer any benefits. Unless of course you want to run a bunch of cards in parallel all on 4x or something like that.

There is a difference in bridgeless multi gpu performance, so Gen 4 will have an impact on Arcturus+ multigpu even if Navi doesn't show much of it.
