What is an estimated release date for the Nvidia GTX 800 series cards?

[thatfancypenn]

I know that the M version was released,but I'm interested in the desktop version. I'm gonna be building a computer in the next few months, and I'd kind of like to have a very recent GPU in my system, seeing as I won't be able to upgrade it for awhile.

So if you have any information, or an educated guess, please let me know 😀

My gut feeling (which is worth about as much as the contents of my guts) is that an 880 will be released this year with 28nm but those of us in the budget range of 870s or 860s will be waiting till 2015.

i'm aware of that but if you follow closely about next gen GPU stories you will know more about recent rumors. the article still mention about high end maxwell will use 20nm node although for a few weeks there has been talk that GTX880 will use 28nm instead of 20nm. then there are talks about the next flagship will be cheaper than current one. if that it is true then it only might be possible with 28nm node as 20nm is much more expensive than mature 28nm node right now (due to much lower yield and very constraint capacity)

personally i'm looking into 860 myself. depending on situation i might even get two to replace my current 660 SLI 😀 . but i'm more concern if PCI-E going to bottleneck such setup since my setup will run at PCI-E 2.0 x8/x8 when running SLI.

I was considering SLI (which I've never done) for my 660 TI but I'm really torn because I'd have to upgrade my PSU as I don't think 850 would cut it, plus I'm having a hard time finding used 660 tis around here. I have a guy willing to pay $150 for my card and I can grab a new 770 for $350 down the road and not have to upgrade the PSU. I know my mobo would be fine for SLI (Maximus Hero) but I could also just wait for the 800s. Argh decisions!!!!!!

*Down the road as in literally down my road, not "in the future". Lol

^ with 850w PSU you can even get 2 780 or even 2 780Ti on it

I've got a 560 ti and FX 8350 atm and was planning a build recently to upgrade to an R9 280x and i5 4690k. Is it worth waiting around until the 800 series come out? My budget is ~ $250, so would an 800 series nvidia card that price be worth waiting for?

No way in hell 880 will cost $250, I bet it will be twice that amount at least. If your current situation is intolerable upgrade now, otherwise waiting is a good option, since prices on the current hardware should drop once new generation releases.

I wasn't talking specifically about the GTX 880. I said NVIDIA 800 series which includes 860, 870, 880, etc.

all the rumors say anywhere from q1 to q4 of this year. personally i think that it will be around 2 months after they release the 790. and that is rumored to be towards the end of this month so i would say june or july as my guess.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but what is q1 and q4?

I have a feeling It would take us by suprise and launch 790 and mid range 800s at the same event to quickly garner buyers before amd
