Any estimates on GTX 20 series release date?

[Rezalis]

What are the estimates for when GTX 20 series will be released? Based on Nvidia release history can anyone make an educated estimate for when it will be released? I'm considering waiting for GTX 2080 instead of 1080 ti if it is released early enough but if not, I'll just hop on the 1080 ti boat.

If I had to guess I'd say around May or June 2018. This is what Steve from Gamers Nexus predicted, and Nvidia has released their new GPU lineups in the May-September window since 2013 IIRC. If you can be happy with your purchase and not feel buyers remorse knowing that in 6 months your card will be equal to a 2070, then go for it. Otherwise if you feel like you'll be filled with regret then just wait. Personally I'd buy now, but that choice is up to you.

I'll be stuck with an 860m until May if I decide 20 series. So I too might just go for the 1080 ti.

The 1080Ti will be relevant for a long period of time. You will be comfortable with that card for some time and by the time you need to worry about upgrading the 20 series will be old news.

my prediction is announcement at CES 2018, available to consumers Q2-Q3

may 2018, if you need to wait for the TI, then end of year.

All they ever do at CES is talk about self driving cars.

Best guess is probably late May to late September.

If I had to guess I'd say Q4 because nVidia is on the very comfortable position to wait AMD release Navi first since they are ahead in every single tier.

 

Volta as is bring no performance difference what so ever from Pascal, the TITAN V is fast because it packs whooping 5 thousand CUDA Cores on a gigantic die for the 3k$ price tag.

 

Which means no way you're getting such a huge die with more than the 3580 CUDA Cores of the 1080 Ti for cheaper than the 1080 Ti current price... Volta is "useless" for the mainstream and gaming, it is an enterprise solution with its Tensor Cores.

 

My bets are on the Ampere architecture which is suppose to come in 2019.

id expect them to cut most if not all Tensor from consumer Volta to be honest, and that thats what they are calling Ampere. So overclocked and node shrinked, overclocked and node shrnked Maxwell lol

Exactly, it will be even less meaningful than the Maxwell to Pascal jump, smaller node shrink, the CUDA Cores are pretty much identical, if they want a GTX 2080 been really better than the 1080 Ti it will have to pack quite the lot of CUDA Cores... HBM2 or GDDR6 really isn't going to be a life savour for gaming either we've seen how little impact the memory alone had with the 1070 Ti vs 1080 showing it ain't GDDR5X that's a game changer here people wished it was.

Yeah, I will get a 1080 ti soon this Christmas.

myself i have 290X and was not only going to upgrade my gpu i was going to do a whole PC build...... but this year for PC gaming has been a nightmare ..... so even tho my PC is a potato ( i7-920 overclocked so high its not long for this world lol) there is no NEW games that would require me to update for, i was looking forward to destiny and battlefront 2 lmao /sigh .... so ZERO point in upgrading this year so i get to see volta zen+ ect..... and if next yeah is like this ill see navi and zen2(7nm) and if the games suck then and my PC isnt dead if they are pretty good id probably build in purely for the fact of a AMD build
