Expected date which can be confirmed from various sources on internet for the release of Maxwell series is End of Q1 of 2014 but initially they will be releasing the laptop series GPUs (Confirmable on only source) and subsequently releasing the desktop series GPUs. CES-2014 is underway, we may hear something in it as well. Their new Tegra k1 series of 192-graphics core has been announced officially.

lol I have GTX 680 Classified connected through DP and I have from 120FPS up to 200 FPS sometimes and nothing is breaking!
 
I'm looking forward to anything new. Playing at 2560 x 1600 on 30 Inch SLI is a must. 3 x 800Ti will be what I get when available...
 


790 is already on its way. And its a freakin' beast.
 
I assume they'll release the GTX 790 first another Dual GPU running on the GK110 Architecture than another following flag ship. Than the 800 Series will appear so probably 9 months.
 
thing is they usually start at the low end of the new series first, so even when the 800's come u realy won't want the first few, so I'd say unless u realy wana wait a lonnnng time u better go with a 700. if ur worried bout vram & performance there is realy only one 2 options , a titan with 6gb, or, 2 of the 770 4gb's sli'd. = more vram and power than a 780ti
 
yea but the 780ti leaves open the option to sli that which would be more powerful than 2 770's. Im looking into maybe getting a 780ti classified but im looking at the kingpin model aswell and trying to see the differences. I am trying to figure out why the kingpin model doesnt come overclocked the same as the regular classified. I know the kingping has the voltage unlocked which will allow for higher clocks than the classified which is good. I read reviews that the classified had alot more room to go in terms of overclocking before it hit its temp barrier but since voltage is locked it just wouldnt go past like 1.3v i think. I wanted a maxwell card but its starting to look like nvidia is going to jerk us around and im not waiting another year to buy a gpu.
 
If you overclock a 780 ti classified it should give slightly lower but similar benchmark numbers as 2 770's however a single card usually gives a better experience than a dual card solution. Some games don't work very well with Sli...
 
The GTX 800 series will probably be using the new 20nm architecture from TSMC and reports say that production of the 20nm node will start in a few months time. So it will problem reach consumers second/third quarter this year. I'm going to guess August/September for for the GTX 800 series if it is based on the 20nm node.

If the next series is based on 28nm again, then we will see a small performance increase at best but it would be released much sooner (next few months). I think this option is far less likely though.
 


I didn't believe that until recently. It appears TSMC no longer has issues with 20nm chip production. As a matter of fact, it has been ramping up production since the beginning of this month. We might get too see GTX 800 series sooner than expected, maybe an announcement in Feb.
 
It's not only chip production, the Maxwell GPU is complex - I've heard from several online sources that the 800 series will be delayed until the end of the year.
That's okay the 780 ti is an excellent gpu.
 


Do you have any source for that? I have been reading as much as I could about the 800 series, NVIDIA never mentioned any problem beside the production of the 20nm chip by TSMC.
 


Jen-Hsun Huang would have shot both your kneecaps before you could leave the place with that card.
 
What yall arent understanding is the mobile cards are said to be released first and also the first of the series only being the 870 and 860 stuff. The flagship 20nm 880gtx everyone wants wont be out until later this year. Also wouldnt make ANY sense to release another flagship this close to the 780ti. The card worth getting isnt going to be out until end of this year. Hopefully sooner so i can take advantage of my step up program from evga but i dont think in 90 days we are going to see the 880gtx
