Nvidia is ready to announce its Maxwell-based Pascal graphics cards at Computex 2016 from May 31-June 4, with graphics card players including Asustek Computer, Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) showcasing their reference board products, according to sources from graphics card players.

 

The graphics card players will begin mass shipping their Pascal graphics cards in July and they expect the new-generation graphics card to increase their shipments and profits in the third quarter, the sources noted.

 

Nvidia initially plans to reveal GPUs including GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 at Computex 2016 and has already begun to clear inventory of its existing GPUs to prepare for the next-generation products.

 

the exact configuration of these upcoming Pascal based video cards is unknown

if rumors are to be believed, nVidia will release GTX 970 and 980 replacements, as in GTX1070 and GTX 1080 - but the exact video memory capacity is very much a mistery

even if nVidia unveiled their Tesla P100 (based on a Pascal GP100 GPU) with HBM2, the odds of them having this type of VRAM is slim to none, not this year at least - it is known that Micron is starting to ramp up production of their new type of GDDR memory, GDDR5X

 

also, from AMD's camp, rumor has it they plan to paper launch their Polaris lineup at Computex, with general availability sometime after

 

this summer will get "hot" xD

Sounds about right - it was rumoured to be available around July (Q2) ever since last year. As for Polaris, probably around the same time based on the older rumours.

the architecture seems to be very similar to that of Maxwell, but with some notable differences - some people say that Pascal is just Maxwell v2 with a node shrink, and it's not exactly true

You mean a proper scheduler for A-sync support, FP64, DP and such?

"Maxwell-based Pascal graphics cards" sounds dumb.

Pascal is based on Maxwell. Nvidia follows: New architecture -> Improve architecture -> New architecture -> Impro....

That "Improve architecture", can be a different model name chip with minor improvements, or if the next architecture is delayed, like Volta, it is greatly improved and sports a new name.

 

If you watch carefully the road maps from nvidia graphics chip, you can see the following:

Old:

New:

Volta is coming later on, but so far we don't know when (2017-2018)

Very interesting. It seems these new graphics cards will hit much earlier than first thought. Its going to be a very interesting summer indeed.

 

However with Pascal being a modified Maxwell, and Polaris being completely new, it's going to be very interesting indeed. I do wonder if Pascal will do proper concurrent async compute. So far it seems not to, but it's just speculation at this point.

NVidia is clearing existing stock alright by banking on stellar VR headset sales - HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. How do they do that? Simple - minimum specs GTX 970 with recommended GTX 980 Ti or even SLI. With no news of upcoming cards and VR headsets finally in the shipping (after paying up to $1000 for the unit) there is not much choice for early adopters. NVidia must be rolling in cash (or whatever alternative) from the boost of sales of their 2 year old GPUs.

I think that is the situation for both. But recommending a 970 as min spec for VR, is not an NVidia thing, but rather that VR is VERY demanding.

True, it is Oculus and HTC coming up with recommended specs. And nothing wrong with that. But the fact remains that NVidia has this as one of the reasons to delay announcement. Obviously no one would confirm that. I just think it is handy coincidence.

I doubt that. 16nm FinFet is a new node, and making large high performance chips is difficult and takes time. Based on this news, both NVidia and AMD (with their 14nm FinFet chips), will launch new cards very closely to each other. I'm simply not seeing NVidia delaying anything. After all, the P100 Pascal chips hasn't launched yet. It's only been announced as "in production", which is such a vague term, that we might not even see it until Q4 (though it will probably be out by Q3).

You have a slightly better GPU than mine, GTX780.

I really want to upgrade to a next-gen GPU if it's capable to do GTAV 2160p60 at maxed settings.

If not, I'll wait till next year.
