New Nvidia Geforce Gaming GPUs, The latest on Price, Specs, Release-date

Nvidia has not yet announced naming, power or any specs, let alone the architecture, behind next gen of gaming cards. They have not mentioned if they are going to do anything about the mining community demand. While there’s been a lot of rumors on Nvidia Turing architecture being the new GeForce cards, we’re still expecting the green team to launch either the GTX 2080 or GTX 1180 cards using the same Nvidia Volta architecture they’ve been working on for the last few years. The highlight of the newest GTX graphics cards is real-time raytracing being the future of gaming, and so they’re going to deliver on that front. At that price they’ll have to best the GTX 1080 Ti in normal games too.

The latest rumours are pointing to Q3 release date because of SK Hynix is seriously cranking up volume production of GDDR6 in around three months time. Samsung and Micron both getting involved in the new graphics memory technology too not much news on that front. Nvidia is likely to stick with the same overall GPC structure, and switch to four GPCs for a potential GV104 design and it gives the GTX 2080 a total of 3,584 CUDA cores and 224 texture units, which would give a nice symmetry with the GTX 1080 Ti it would likely replace.

If the rumors are true and Nvidia has dropped its Founders Edition as reference model price tag. Expect any and all overclocked, or third-party cooled, versions of the GTX 2080 to come around $800 – $1,000.

Nvidia GTX 2080 release date

All the evidence is currently pointing towards a Q3 release for the new Nvidia graphics cards, which would put them in the September / October 2018 timeframe.

Nvidia GTX 2080 specs

While we don’t know the specifics of the GPU architecture Nvidia will use in their gaming-focused cards, we’re still betting on a Volta GPU, a GV104 chip. That will make it a 12nm design, but with GDDR6 as opposed to the HBM2 Nvidia have used in the Tesla V100.

The new top-end GeForce is likely to command the same price tag as the GTX 1080 Ti before it. That would make it at least $699.
