There has been a lot of talk surrounding Pascal recently, Nvidia even announced the specifications for its ‘Big Pascal' GP100 GPU and while we have yet to see Nvidia's upcoming GTX 1000-series cards, that could change soon as we may end up seeing the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 appear at Computex this year.
Computex kicks off at the end of May this year and it usually brings along a whole slew of announcements. According to Taiwanese sources speaking with DigiTimes, Nvidia is ready to reveal its new GeForce 1000 series at the event, with several key add-in board partners all prepared to show off the new cards.
The GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 will be based on Nvidia's GP104 chip and recently, we got a look at what could be the new cooling shroud for the reference cooler of both cards. These new graphics cards are expected to deliver comparable performance to our current GM200 Maxwell cards, like the GTX 980Ti based on current rumours and speculation.
We have also heard that AMD may be revealing the R9 490 and R9 490x GPUs around Computex, featuring the new Polaris 10 architecture so we may have quite a few graphics card launches between the end of May and the end of June.
KitGuru Says: These are certainly exciting times in the graphics card space with Nvidia and AMD set to debut brand new architectures in such a short amount of time. Are any of you waiting on AMD and Nvidia to reveal their new cards in the next few months? Will you be planning an upgrade?
Oh there is definitely going to be some leaks before that event then heh heh heh.
These new graphics cards are expected to deliver comparable performance to our current GM200 Maxwell cards, like the GTX 980Ti. are you kidding me I expect a 50% increase in performance or I’m going to amd
will blow you out of the water
you really don’t know how this works, do you?
hope the 1080 isnt so expensive and the pascal cards are alot better
Time to buy nVidia stock?
You must be new.
The prices are going to the stay the same for launch cards as they have for the last few generations. The 1080 will be $550-$600 and the 1070 will be $330-370 as is the custom of all of the new GPU’s that NVIDIA launches. Prices aren’t going to drop just because the fab process went from 28nm to 14. The only prices that are going to drop are the inventories that need to be cleared out in anticipation for the new GPU’s.
Umm, you realize how this works right? The 980Ti is the new 1080. A GTX 580 is a 670, the 670 was replaced by the 760 and 760Ti and those were replaced by the 960 and 950 cards. Heck you do realize that the 680 and 770 are the exact same GPU core with some micro code patches right?
depends if you’re judging them by the quality of their drivers or not…
Ya I definitely wouldn’t buy stock based on their Linux drivers. But if their stock is ready to rise I’ll buy in.
They are saying that gp104 will be comparable to gm200. That is an upgrade. This will mean that we might be able to get the gtx 1080 being as good as the titan x.
And the gp100 cards will become even better.
If they compared gp104 to gm204, then they would probably say that it will almost be a 50% increase in performance.
And nvidia going out of business by amd? Truce I might also be considering a switch over if amd outperforms nvidia in dx12 for pascal, but that will not bring nvidia out of business
No. Those aren’t really interesting for me. I want to see the Big Pascal, and Vega 10. They might launch those next year or the end of the year. I will have time to decide on my upgrade….
no like the prices in canada because our dollar is so bad a regular 980 is 750-800
I will def be getting my heands on a 1080 when it releases… My 680 is gonna need to retire
Yep, unless you are rich, you should wait. You won’t see as big a gain in power as some of us poor schmucks are still using old cards like a 7000HD or a 500GTX. For people like me, it’s going to be pretty hard to wait for next year.
You sound better off with ati as it is.
Bye now.

Quite the opposite, I’d say, if you’re judging them by their sales for consumer PC hardware. With the recent driver problems, problems with Async Compute in DX12 in Maxwell and just how quiet and behind schedule they’ve been recently, in the face of very loud and actually material competition from AMD, I’m not expecting its market share to rise in this particular area, in fact I would expect to see it fall substantially to AMD, after they demonstrated that the Fury series was shown to be very good competition to the Titan X and the dual Fury card is just on the horizon, to which Nvidia does not appear to have an answer.
That is, of course, just basing their stock on consumer PC hardware. You have to take into account the new autonomous driving chips that they’re producing for cars, as well as their existing Tesla products on the server market and even Tegra, for which we may see a Pascal/Denver duo.
i could be wrong but i doubt there will be significant performance increase i have a msi 970 gtx and its runs everything i throw at it ill wait for the benchmarks and comparisons then i might upgrade!
Since I am already using 980ti cards, I might just skip this generation, it will depend a great deal on performance versus what I am already using.
my gtx 970 is 3,5 gb so per say in gta v the vram goes way past that (3.8) and thinks just pop in. in AC syndicate that happened to some extent too. I am mainly going for pascal because i just got my pc full of 2014 hw (VII HERO I7-4790k GTX970 etcetera) so i would rather have pascal (2016) than maxwell (2014) which is 2 years old
i have a 970 and extra cash so a 1080 wont be a bad idea for 1440p
4790K is a generation behind. Why not go for Skylake? I understand that the 4790K is better for gaming because of its performance per core, but if you want to future-proof (if that’s even a real thing), then the latest generation is what makes the most sense (since you have to switch a mobo and a CPU).
The Fury does horribly against Titan X. Hell the R9 290×2 (dual-gpu) falls victim to the 980Ti (without the SLI/CrossFire). In a SLI/CrossFire, Nvidia would crush AMD.
i live in canada so the i7 6700k is like $500-$550 sometimes and i got my 4790k for $370. Boxing day 7 in the morning, and at the time i bought my ram ddr4 was still like $40 more than ddr3 (i got 1866mhz 16gb for $100 and ddr4 was $160) canadian dollar is horible
Yeah if u are with an old card, it would be a nice time to upgrade…if u can afford a high end card…
when one 1080 is better than 980ti sli
