And people were hyping up for a July release, won't happen. Announcement end of August, followed by actual release Q4 2018, or a more likely one Q1/Q2 2019.

So i should stick around with my two 770gtx 4gb, for other 6 months and then see a mainstream release?
When the next big thing is coming?

You just read the news, sometime after August.

To be fair, this is their "mainstream" product. The x70/x80 parts are considered 'enthusiast' parts. So this would be news about the x60 (or maybe also the x50) part, most likely. Everyone expected that to follow some months after the x70/x80.
We'll know for sure sometime early next week, I suppose.

I doubt it, nvidia never released midget mainstream xx50 and xx60 first.. they always go for high-end, well if you can call crippled xx 104 series chips real high-end, I don't ever since Kepler 680gtx..
I remeber trollin Nvidia for doing that and they named it a Hunter card.. lmao, I had my old nick thehunter back then xD

Regardless what we think, its all speculation. Only an official announcement will actually point out the release date. However "hypers" already hyped for July release, won't happen.

I purchased my card during its release, which is none of your concern.
Secondly, nobody refuses, when it happens it happens. However, I am not with the hype crowd which already started expecting a release in Q1 this year. Then there were rumours for spring release / then July release, now August.
August will be an announcement, which may or may not be followed by a release. This was discussed in many other topics, but to keep it short - Nvidia currently dominates, and up until AMD will announce their new cards and release dates for them - Nvidia has no reason to release a new product while they can milk current one at prices far exceeding MSRP. This is my train of thought, I may be correct or wrong. Thou so far I was correct on this, late August announcement only supports this.
What I am certain about is that Nvidia has already finalized their next GPU, a question is in the upcoming events will it be a refresh of current gen announced or actual next gen of GPU's. Personally, I'm waiting for the latter.

Mining wasn't there for past many years.
Insider info?
Attempt to make me feel bad about my 1080ti? 🙁
Look, hype all you want, I understand that you have the itch to upgrade your 980, what I'm saying is currently there is only speculative information at best. What we may get in the end is a refresh or a proper next gen. Which, once again, I'm sincerely looking forward to as even 1080ti doesn't really cut it for modern titles at 3440x1440.

I love when there is nano info released and everyone extrapolates it into a full blown fact of their own. Then it turns into a shark feeding frenzy and everyone starts taking a bite out of each other during it. Pascal was announced on November of 2015. The release dates were announced on May 6th 2016 and the 1080 was released May 27th 2016, and the 1070 on June 10th 2016. So if Nvidia follows this business model again, we are way off from any release as Nvidia hasn't even released the NAME of the next gpu yet. What we do know is it will have about 25% more performance over the Ti. I'll pass on the FE and wait for a 1180ti IF it comes to be. So patience, it's gonna be awhile. And try to be nicer to each other, are we not brothers of the same tech mother? 😎

2 more months to August to finally hear what nvidia has to say about the new cards. I will patiently wait for the 2080Ti release to replace my 1080Ti. I know they will release 2070 and 2080 first then 6 months to a year down the road they will release the Ti , nonetheless good news as it was about time to hear something about it 🙂

Can't wait. Give me a card that can easily handle 4k 60fps ultra settings and you got my money. 1080ti until then.

What manner of BS is this. The next gen for main stream was supposed to be Volta based and they have failed to release that. So are they finally going over the release of that or skipping it all together to talk about their next big thing which they won't release for another 2 years. The only thing Nvidia has been innovating recently is enterprise and the consumer market can just suck eggs.

I'm going to take a guess and say that they will announce 2 cards (xx70 and xx80) and they will be available within 6 weeks after that convention. Pre-orders will be available immediately from Nvidia's website for FE.
The launch will be the same as Pascal; very limited quantities for the first 3 to 6 months (leading to users accusing Nvidia of a paper launch).
I suspect that if this next-gen card is powerful enough (4K60+ being the key performance metric), then, it'll likely be constantly sold-out for the next year, well into fall 2019.
That won't be a problem anyway as showcase game Metro: Exodus has been pushed to Q1 2019...

I think the wait is for 7nm. TSMC has had volume 7nm production since April and they already stated they expect to ship 7nm GPU products by the end of 2018. AMD is currently sampling 7nm Vega parts out of GF and plans to sample 7nm Zen parts by the end of 2018 as well. We know TSMC is ahead of GF by a few months and we know Nvidia is a huge partner of theirs. I think they are just waiting for 7nm yields to become adequate for shipping ~300mm2 parts.

1080ti will be strong for awhile, the 980ti is still a massively strong card now... as got 16gb you might be dreaming a bit more likely to be 8gb.
And people still going on about Nvidia dropping support after a year... this has been disproven so many times now
Chances are the 1180/2080 will be around 10-30% stronger than the 1080ti if we go from past cards

I dont think so, if GDDR6 starting going out around august, its very unlikely Nvidia would release x70/x80 now on GDDR5/5x and use GDDR6 on lowend in august.
holler
taking bets now that AMD will release their revised Vega before 1180 hits 🙂. Even if 1180 hits early, I still question if there will be a decent supply of GDDR6 or it will be a paper launch. HBM2 is pretty mature now and shouldn't have that problem.

My guess is announcement in August followed by FE release shortly after and 3rd party at the end of the year. I think it's safe to assume that nVidia has had the chip ready for some time now (Titan V).
Sure, it's a great card for 1080p/144Hz gaming. Maybe also for some 1440p/60Hz games but that's it.

well, it is B.S., simply because of economics. the last two years has seen Nvidia watch as some of its (potentially) most lucrative clients buy 1080ti's for their computing needs instead of Quadro's.
part of the time spent was separating out non-consumer technology from the upcoming 20xx series... harder than you think as they have consistently created Features (that most don't use) and Benefits to excel in a targeted market and compete with AMD.
and by competition i don't mean just market share...i mean that AMD does excellent design and both Nvidia and AMD copy each other's feature sets for the most part.
tunejunky
as far as crystal balls... i suspect the 2060 will have the performance of the 1070ti/1080.
that alone would make the "mainstream" presentation more than newsworthy.
what i'm curious about is the speed of the bus... Nvidia typically uses a lower bandwidth bus and makes up for it in processor speed. with 4k being the current tv standard for new sets, i wonder if they will go with a higher bandwidth bus and keep the high clocks...that would be fantastic...20xx mid-range cards getting 45-60fps 4k under $400
