Rumor : GTX 1080 in may, Per benchlife.info

Not confirmed: "This could be a late-May launch right before Computex." My emphasis.

The original source (benchlife.info) says, when Google-translated to English: "GeForce GTX 1080 will be determined debut in May" and "NVIDIA will start a public way for partners to sell the card, as you want to select various homemade card, it may have to wait until after July." Basically, the chip will be available to graphics card manufacturers first, actual retail cards will be available after July.

I'm wondering about the 1070/1060/1050 mid-range versions... I'll hold off my purchase decision until then.

And when would the Ti version be released? Is there a standard practice here?

A really cut down GK110 (GTX780) launched 14 months after GK104, with the full chip (GTX780Ti) launching almost 20 months after GK104. GM200 launched 9 months after GM204.

I'd guess closer to the latter case, but it's complete guesswork. I doubt even nVidia knows for sure at this point, and will make their decision to release a Ti gaming card based on yields, Tesla/Titan sales, and the competitive landscape at that time.

Then I'm all in for the successor to titanx, but that card was announced at GTC last year at this time. I don't think titans are updated on a yearly or even 1.5 year time scale so...well. I'm waiting for the new stuff with great anticipation

My guess is 2 years from now the 980ti successor will be available. Until then its nothing but over priced mid range and $1,000.00 titans. Stomach in the street.

I agree with the order, not sure on the time frame and want to add the mid range card will ofcourse be faster then 980TI.

I think this is refering to Nvidia reference cards coming out first, with custom 3rd solutions in July.

It may be faster. Even if it is, I wouldn't expect it to be fast enough to justify the expense and effort of an upgrade. The mid rangers are always lack luster. The 680/670 were OK, but just OK. People saw the 680 was simply faster than 580 and they all flipped out for that extra 30%.
30% isn't enough when a new card should seriously kick the old card right in the beetroots.
 
Not everyone purchases every new card, or has a price point high enough for nothing but the best.
To anyone looking to upgrade, the mid range may simply be enough. Especially when there are a lot of great games that play well on much cheaper hardware.
 
I don't believe it's gonna be called 1080 and I don't believe that it will release in may, either.

I mean sure....if they pull it off and release it in may...good for them....but...y'know. A disturbing lack of any trustworthy performance leaks, GPU photos or die shots kind of makes it look like they might need a wee-bit more time.

Afaik AMD already shown off 2 GPUs for their new gen....Nvidia hasn't really shown anything in action quite yet....unless they have and I totally missed it...in which case please point me at it...I need the deets like yesterday so I can decide which one to buy this time around(AMD and Nvidia both seem legit this time around).

Couple responses here....

Not everyone who is upgrading is doing so from a 980Ti. For anything other than that card, it would be 50%+ gain, minimum. For likely a lot less than a Ti is now...

Second, the 670/680 were MUCH better than the 4xx/5xx series. For starters, the extra VRAM was a big difference when you had a lot of folks still using 1.5/1GB cards. Also, the 670/680 OC'd ran circles around the 4xx/5xx series. It had a LOT of headroom and was was much more power efficient. The only 'downside' was loss of compute functions which most users didn't care about anyways.

For those rocking a 280/290/390/960/970/980 (which are LOT of people) these are very capable upgrades, assuming solid gains we are used to with new generations of GPUs. For those who want to do 4K, or want VR, 30%+ performance could really make it viable.

I will say the big caveat to enthusiasts will be the OC potential. If Pascal overclocks poorly, that 30% advantage (again, this is just an assumption) could be greatly diminished over what the 980Ti can OC today. That's the bigger questions for me.

I wish they would release the Titan first.

I don't care what they release, just get a high-end SKU out the door ASAP. 🙂

Also, I wonder if NV will be more flexible with AIBs offering custom Titans (for the lack of a better term) this time around. Otherwise they will likely end-up being like the Titan X where it only made sense to buy right away, otherwise a high-end, custom 980Ti was/is better now for most users.
 
I just want to see what both sides have to offer ASAP so I can buy the best card that I can afford...which this time around will be no more than like $500....I almost feel like this is gonna be middleclass.
