CES 2018 nVidia and Volta series?

[zacetnik]

So ... with CES 2018 over and nVidia not saying a thing about Volta series, I was wondering:
can we still expect them this year somewhere in the summer or does that mean they will be pushed further back, maybe even in 2019?

I dont think Nvidia has ever released a card at CES so no wonder.

Wait until May at the earliest.

The last time nvidia ever make a noise about unreleased GPU at CES is back in 2010. In general don't expect nvidia to talk about much faster GPU release (than what they already have on the market) at CES. they usually held their own specific event for it. Right now we can only wait....

I see, thanks for the info. I guess I was informed wrong by someone who suggested CES was the event to look for. I'd pick you both as best solution, but I think I can only pick one.

Just a quick followup: So I guess we can still hope for a summer release?

looking at the patterned the past few years it is quite obvious that nvidia will not going to talk about their next generation geforce at CES. but sometimes i see even big media outlet try to generate more view on their page by talking about how nvidia "might" talk about it at CES. if nvidia did not break their two year cadence then we at the very least can expect volta to arrive sometime mid this year. either nvidia will proceed with their own schedule or they will react accordingly to competition performance.

I'm hoping they'd release it during GTC. Fingers crossed!

We can only hope but i think we might see new launch mid this year. Altough time and time again gpu maker end up doing things at their own pace.

High probability they will have a "consumer Volta" announcement at their GTC event in late March - that's when they introduced Pascal 2 years back, and I think they introduced Maxwell at that event in 2014.
The REAL questions are "how long after the announcement will cards be available for sale" "what kind of STOCK will they have piled up (TSMC reported it was schedualed to shift to Volta production out of Pascal production "around the end of the year" as of October, which appears to be a major contributing factor to the current Pascal NONE AVAILABLE issue) and "how many and which models are they going to introduce".

nvidia might introduce new architecture at GTC but most of the time they did not talk about the gaming aspect of it. nvidia introduce pascal at GTC 2016 but it was specifically about GP100 which is a different beast altogether. first maxwell was introduce in february 2014. there isn't even any specific event made for it. true maxwell (or maxwell 2.0) was officially launch in september 2014 on nvidia specific event (not GTC). at GTC 2015 nvidia showcase titan x maxwell using GM200 chip. later in june 2015 nvidia released 980ti to the market. if anything GTC 2018 it was prime candidate for nvidia to launch Titan V. but nvidia end up making surprise launch at an event that many people did not know about. even titan x pascal (the first one) was like this. they suddenly come out at an event that almost nobody ever heard of (for general consumer anyway). this year GTC we might not going to hear anything related to "new generation" of geforce at all. though i would expect nvidia probably will going to give us the name of the new architecture that will succeed volta and a bit of glimpse the compute aspect of it. for the upcoming next generation geforce nvidia probably will want to keep tight lip on it and release everything at once at their geforce specific even so they can generate bigger impact towards gamer.

Titan V isn't intended to be a consumer card (unlike previous Titan versions), so it made sense for them to introduce it at a different event.

Its the Geforce GTX 11 series cards featuring the TURING Architecture.

For the latest news, pricing, Release date and specifications, See the video Below:

Nvidia Turing release date:

Nvidia's Turing graphics cards could be gearing up to launch Q3 2018. A recent report expecting the release to a July launch, with AIBs receiving cards on, or around, June 15. So overall you can expect it to arrive on a late August, early September reveal. Also, SK Hynix is reportedly ramping up production of GDDR6, which Nvidia is also reported to be utilising exclusively with its unreleased graphics cards.

Nvidia Turing specs:

TechPowerUp had just filled in their database using the current rumours and speculated upon the GPU and memory clockspeeds using existing 10-series Pascal frequencies, and it was then presented as a leak by lots of people reporting it online. Check out the video above to see the latest revealed Specs.

Specs: Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the GV104 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12.0. It features 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs. NVIDIA has placed 8,192 MB GDDR6 memory on the card, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1475 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1672 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz.

Nvidia Turing Pricing:

I think This is where things might get a little tricky, and it’s also where we’ve seen little speculation. With the current segment of 10-series GPUs, Nvidia changed the way they charged for its reference cards by renaming them “Founders Edition”, putting an advanced blower-style cooler and vapor chamber cooling system in them and charging $100 more for it.

So if they do so, This would put the pricing of the GTX 1180 around $699 or eventually you will see the price hiking up from the manufactures rated price due to cryptocurrency craze!
