Nvidia Mobile Pascal Gpus To Debut At GTC, Launch In June?
 

Quote

 

Nvidia is reportedly preparing to debut its next generation Pascal graphics cards at GTC in April with a product launch at Computex in June. Let’s first start with the scheduled debut and demo at this upcoming GTC in April. Whispers have reached us of Nvidia planning to showcase a Pascal graphics card at the show for the very first time.

In fact, a source claims that this will take place on April 5th during Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang’s keynote. A pascal graphics board will allegedly be showcased on stage during the keynote. This time we’re told that it’s not just going to be a prototype to visually demonstrate the form factor like last year, but actual working Pascal chips.

Interestingly, all of Nvidia’s scheduled talks at GTC start with one or two alphabets and the digit six. That is they all follow this formula X6###. Where X is one or two letters, six is constant and # is a variable number. Keeping this in mind, the opening keynote of Nvidia’s CEO is given the variable 699

Moving on the second tidbit dealing with Pascal’s actual arrival to market. This one comes directly from sweclockers.com where the site claims that Nvidia is planning to launch its very first lineup of Pascal graphics cards at Computex in June.  This launch will specifically be for the mobility lineup going into gaming notebooks. Swerclockers makes no mention of when we should expect desktop Pascal graphics cards but the site goes on to claim that Nvidia is facing challenges bringing Pascal up to speed on TSMC’s 16nm FinFET which they say will in all liklihood throw a wrench in the company’s plans.

 

The plan to introduce the mobility lineup in mid June has reportedly been set in motion but could face delays owing to the ambiguity of Pascal’s readiness.  As such the probability of a paper launch in Computex or a postponement the launch entirely to a later date is described as being “great” the site reports.

 

The reports of Nvidia wanting to launch its chips on the mobile side first are likely grounded in reality. The company will want to deliver mobile Pascal products on time for the OEMs’ product refresh cycle before in the back to school season which spans July to September.

To a great extent a similar limitation does not exist for desktop PCs for a variety of factors. For one the AIB market commands the lion’s share of the desktop graphics market. Additionally OEMs have much greater flexibility switching out graphics cards in their desktop products. This means that we might be looking at market availability of desktop Pascal graphics cards around Q3 to Q4 of this year.

 

 

Looking at the toyota guy in keynote poster ... it looks like....  they are going to be talking about pascal for cars again. pls not again.

With that Nvidia 980m scandal.... this is welcome.

If they talk about cars again though....

[ivan134]

I dont care who it is, AMD or Nvidia, someone release something. The wait is killing me and I want to know what the future smells like.

[VagabondWraith]

I'm willing to wait. I'll wait however long I need to for the Titan/Ti Pascal card. My 980 Ti is not going to stop performing like a champ. I want the new tech but rather they work the kinks out first.

[NateGSR117]

I mean, I would love to have a pascal GPU in my next laptop (I really want it for my desktop tho) but I will not hold my breath. There are non stop reports of them having problems with the node shrink which is understandable. we will see

I'm sitting on 4gb 680's and I upgraded to a 34" ultrawide and they do show their age. Realy want a pair of 1080ti's

I cant wait. I am in dire need of a new graphics card...

[2FA]

Interesting although I feel this mostly be about HPC and the Auto industry just by looking at the list of talks. 

 

Also, I don't see the significance of mentioning the S6699. Did you add that just to make your post look fuller?

What 980m scandal?

Nvidia's CEO held up a Drive PX2 board at CES that allegedly had two Pascal GPUs on it. However, the two Pascal GPUs that were on there were component for component identical to gtx 980m modules. As well, the date codes on the GPU would mean that the GPU was produced in early 2015 when TSMC 16nm was being finalized, which would make no sense. Therefore it seems Pascal was not on that board and instead it was the 980m. Many (including myself) believe that Pascal silicon was not ready then yet and so Nvidia had to fake it (like what they did with Fermi).

The point of that demo was to really show that the tech physically exists. Its supposed to be a move to boost PR.. they're saying "Look, we made this awesome new product that uses Pascal and its right here for everyone to see", but its just a lie to deceive the public which I personally find disturbing.

With that said I really hope they aren't having issues with the new process shrink, the GPU industry needs to keep advancing.

Yeah I know it is a questionable move, but was just being sarcastic. And my guess is that they were having issues with the shrink. It seems like everyone is having delays now that we are closely reaching the peak of what silicon is capable of doing.

Considering the Toyota guest speaker, I doubt we will see a consumer gpu, but rather their driving computer in some shape or form. Maybe this time it won't be a maxwell chip on there?

 

There's no way we will see a titan in march though. And I do believe nvidia will launch later than amd. Only exception would be an nvidia paper launch on a super expensive limited titan no one will get for months after the paper launch anyways.

What will you be getting ? I want 1070 (hopefully a 4gb card and not 3.5).

Rise of the Tomb Raider already needs more than 4GB vram for highest texture setting. I would never buy a 14/16nm card with only 4GB.

Single player games i dont care for. 

I only game at 1080p and will for next few years so I shouldnt run into vram limitations. If i would then i will decrease details, not a biggy. Im 60% about keeping my min fps at 60 and 40% about graphics.

 

Also, im secretely hoping for 1070ti (guess it depends on AMD to push Nvidia).

My guess is the **60 will be 3-4gb, **70 6gb, **80 8gb, **80ti 12gb, Titan 16-32gb. I haven't look much at leaks so I could be off from those, all I know is the cap is 32gb or something. But I think that is overkill tbh.

They're definitely gonna talk about cars. Unless they surprise me and slap me across the face with shiny new GPU for speaking lies. But I mean, June does sound like the usual time, just comparing to last year, if I remember correctly. I just can't wait for the new GPUs in general.

[-BirdiE-]

Gah. This wait is killing me. I just bought the Acer X34 predator, and my GTX 980 is struggling to drive games at 3440x1440.

 

June will be a glorious month though... i7-6900k + Pascal Titan.... I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

If i were to buy today, 970 or 980. On pascal i would get whatever matches up with those. I think they may change the naming again because 1070 or 1080 sounds weird to me. 

[byalexandr]

The sooner the better, I want AMD to release first this year and Nvidia to trail behind.

 

F*ck you, Nvidia.

Kinda hoping they would surprise us just like what they did with TItan X. I just can't wait to sell my current gpu and get the new gpus.

[Bouzoo]

I am excited for this, I am thinking about selling a laptop and buying a new one with a 1060m. Should be around 970m right?
