Wasn't September the originally planned launch date?

End of August / September for shelves, what I figured as well since they postponed the announcement to August. More or less same time schedule than RTX20 release.

If they postpone any longer it will be out of date? 40 $eries time!!!

They will launch it a week before AMD :P Anyway, it looks that many products will be postponed to 4Q / end of the year.

This. It feels like the whole world has been postponed to the end of the year (or to the end of whatever it will be) tech, sports, movies etc. I was eager for the release of the 3000 series, as I stuck with my 1080Ti all this time, but you know what, seeing how things are going right now, I don't really care anymore and consumers as a whole are probably less ready to throw out money on such "non-essential" things anyway. 😳

Yeah, seems silly NV postponing it for only a few weeks. As if they know everything will be back to normal by then. They should just keep quiet until things begin heading back to normality.

With the looming recession, I won't be surprised if it will be delayed even further.

they are giving a little more time to AMD to show big navi

If was from an hardware company i would delay everything until the end of the year...

Sony has been jumping on the PC bandwagon in recent years. Exclusives from Sony and Microsoft will be a thing of the past soon. PC Gaming FTW.

This may be true for MS but not for Sony, they are only releasing a few exclusives after the sales have dried on PS4 and now that they are preparing for the PS5.

If the recession ends up in a deflational situation, it could indeed push prices down. Bad for the economy, good for the consumer.

Meh... i dont give a flying fack about RT performance... i just want more rasterization performance, and i want it noooow... and it needs to be considerably faster than a 2080 ti...

Nvidia isn't exactly under pressure to get this released sooner. They want to appease shareholders, and although a few weeks isn't going to do much, it will do something to improve initial sales.

Khronikos:

With PS5 coming out not sure I even care honestly. I'll be going there for exclusives, and win 7 + 1080ti can get me another 1.5 years I think. Backlog is too big. Next upgrade will definitely be going for some kind of used Zen 3 or something. Hope I can make it that long, but quite honestly I don't have many doubts. So many games...

Yep. The 5700XT will last for the next gen. PS5 is my next upgrade.

MS is porting the games to PC. SONY not. The only PS4 exclusive on PC is Horizon New Dawn and this 3 1/2 years after its release. We won't see a single PS5 exclusive on PC because it won't run on 99% of the PCs people have, according to Steam Survey. Even the Xbox X Series games would have really high specs that the same percentage won't be able to play at all.

so no 3060 for $500 3070 for $800 3080 for $1200 and 3080Ti for $2000 ? Shame..

jbscotchman:

That $1200 is gonna get me some shiny new upgrades. 😉

I know you're not replacing that 1660Ti already....

jbscotchman:

I'm thinking RTX 3060, 27" curved monitor, and 1 TB NVME.

I really want a 3060....but then I'd have to buy 2....lol No way the kid is gonna let me get away with upgrading my system and not his....and I can't do 2 graphics cards. He knows what the Radeon Settings and NVCP both look like, so he'll know if I swap out cards. Especially with how much time I spend in Radeon Settings.....

Oh well, I'm sure the RTX 2080 Ti will do me just fine at 3440*1440 for a while. Got plenty of older games to play yet too, still haven't even touched the Witcher series lol Picked up Withcher 3 Game of the Edition to complete the series and Metro Exodus last night on Steam sale 🙂 Will get Prey when it's on sale too and Doom Eternal

Jas39Grippen:

Nvidia will wait till the Covid19 pandemic is somewhat under control before they try to rob us with their over inflated prices, as they say...you can't squeeze blood out of a stone.

Is that a challenge? Because if it is Nvidia may accept it! And then Intel will probably try to beat Nvidia at it...

I'm in the same boat. The last time i owned a console and played console games was the early days of the original XBox. But with the price of PC hardware right now and the state of the GPU market i'm thinking of moving back to console next gen until ray tracing is more mature. I plan to eventually upgrade to a used Zen 2 (or 3 if my mb supports them) and probably a ray tracing card when it will be good enough to clearly beat shaders without tanking the fps. I also have a back log of games to play on PC.

PS4 exclusives on/coming to PC; Street Fighter 5 Horizon Zero Dawn Detroit: Become Human The Last Remnant: Remastered Death Stranding Nier: Automata Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Yakuza 0/Kiwami/Kiwami 2 MLB: The Show (latest one) Final Fantasy VII: Remake ---------------------------------------------------- Dreams (rumoured as next after HZD) There's actually loads of PS4 exclusives that are on PC, I just pulled a few of the bigger names out. As for the expected PS5 exclusives situation, I don't think you've been keeping-up with what's happening. Sony is taking a leaf from Microsoft and will be releasing more of their in-house exclusives on PC. This is due to the high costs involved in making these games. Porting to PC is the perfect way for them to recoup some of the costs, while also expanding their audience. We also know that for the first 2yrs after launch, PS5 exclusives will be few and far between and more likely to also be available on PS4. This is well reported on already. Knowing this, I'd be amazed if you got even 2 true exclusives a year on PS5 in the first 2yrs (and of those 4 games, I'd bet on 2 of them being sequels). Most 3rd party exclusives will likely be timed and ported to PC like it has been for a while now. Don't be surprised if Spiderman comes to PC and Spiderman 2 a timed 1st party exclusive. Loss-leader exclusives have helped Sony/PS4 become the console market leader, but, it's becoming too expensive to sustain. On the otherhand, there's also PS Now if anyone wants to play PS games on PC, so, PC will continue to have many options available.

I'm just sitting here hoping more companies will be bring decent upsampling to PC ports so GPUs costing as much as cars won't be mandatory. The implementations on consoles are more than good enough, the checkerbox upsampling and whatever the modern versions of it are, are something we need. Whatever the Watch Dogs 2 PC port was doing was even passable.
