New Nvidia “Volta, Ampere, Turing” (Whatever the name is) Gaming GPUs Coming Soon

Right now Nvidia and AMD facing GPU supply shortages. The market is so hungry and needs any sort of GPU higher that GTX 1060. Both companies are working hard to get their GPU supplies back in stock, and now we are hearing new lineup of GPUs from Nvidia is going to be out as soon as a couple of weeks. 

“We do think that cryptocurrency has been a very significant factor in both revenue and pricing, creating a shortage environment that is boosting pricing,” Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore said in a note.

We have heard about Nvidia’s new line up of advanced GPUs called Nvidia Ampere last year and early 2018 but now we are hearing about a new Nvidia’s lineup of GPUs coming on march from a credible source Reuters. It is not volta or ampere. It is called turing. 

The new GPU gaming chip, code named Turing, is expected to be unveiled next month. Even without it, Nvidia’s revenue from gaming rose 29 percent to $1.74 billion in the fourth quarter, accounting for more than half of its total revenue.

According to Reuters a new lineup of Nvidia GPU codenamed “Turing” is going to be released to the public next month. This could mean that Nvidia isn’t going to call their future GPUs Nvidia Volta and changing the name or it means that Nvidia Volta will never be released for consumers. This could be bad news for people that bought a Nvidia Volta GPU becuase Nvidia might stop optimizing it. Right now Nvidia and AMD GPUs are very close to each other performance to price wise but if Nvidia releases their new line up of GPU before AMD it could be bad news for AMD’s Vega graphic cards. Right now AMD’s CPUs aren’t the best CPUs in the market but their GPUs are competing with Nvidia GPUs even in the high end market, if the new line up is released next month it could change many things. 

As you probably know right now it’s very hard to find a graphics card that doesn’t cost a few hundred Dollars more then it’s original price. Nvidia has been trying to get more supplies and selling them to gamers instead of miners. Nvidia asked retailers to set a two GPU limit to each person and they made their own GPU store with this restriction. The GPU shortage is happening because of the recent popularity of cryptocurrency mining. Miners need more than 2 graphics cards to be able to make a profit so they buy a lot of GPUs but Nvidia and AMD were not ready for all of the demand.
