Next gen gpu's this spring?

[axlrose]

So I'm trying to save up for a new build. I am thinking I'm going to have to keep saving until June unfortunately. Am I hearing correctly there might be something other than a 980ti for me to consider by then?

Thanks.

Nothing official but the whispers are early-mid summer

 

[axlrose]

Do the whispers say it will be worth getting over a 980ti?

If the whispers are correct it will be worth waiting yes.
What we know so far about the GP100 chip.
Pascal microarchitecture.
DirectX 12 feature level 12_1 or higher.
Successor to the GM200 GPU found in the GTX Titan X and GTX 980 Ti.
Built on the 16FF+ manufacturing process from TSMC.
Allegedly has a total of 17 billion transistors, more than twice that of GM200.
Taped out in June 2015.
Will feature four 4-Hi HBM2 stacks, for a total of 16GB of VRAM for the consumer variant and 32GB for the professional variant.
Features a 4096bit memory interface.
Features NVLink and support for Mixed Precision FP16 compute tasks at twice the rate of FP32 and full FP64 support. 2016 release.
Two form factors: PCI-Express board and Mezzanine High-Bandwidth Board

Can't tell yet.

Any whispers about size? The 980ti at 10.5 requires me modding my case significantly.

No you wont hear nothing about size for quite some time i am sure

Ideas on prices? $700 for a 980ti feels pretty rich for my blood right now. More than that? About that with price drops for the 980ti by then?

Ti will probobly drop in price when they come out, and if your not looking to get into 4k or anything ti will still be quite a good card.

I'd like to build a rig that will transition to 4k. My previous monitor was 2560x1600. When that died last year I got a cheap 1080p and I've never been happy since.

10.5 inch is quite the normal length for high end gpu. Nvidia reference also usually tops at such length (even for some of their dual gpu). If you can't fit in 10.5 inch into your case then your case must be for small built.

 

[axlrose]

Just an odd shape. 'Mid tower' that won't fit under that table at the typical lan party.

I think a Titan will come out first, it's the most profitable GPU Nvidia makes and will give them a "We got this fast this soon for a price" which will slow down 980/980/980ti replacements.

 

[axlrose]

Thinking early summer will be titan then and I'd have to wait even longer into summer to get an -80 version?

 

[JUICEhunter]

That is my guess yes, they could also launch a 980/970 replacement first as they are technically older GPUs, what I don't think they're going to do is a 750ti replacement as it'll mess with the most recently launched 950.

I heard the new Nvida Pascals are coming soon, priced around the $400 mark.
