NVIDIA's fear for AMD Radeon Vega seems to have never subsided because aside from the recently released Titan Xp, the world's GPU chips-maker is reportedly launching Volta-based GPUs in the third quarter of 2017, the new architecture. These new GPUs are expected to be the next-gen GeForce GTX 2080 series which was originally planned to be released in 2018.

Poor market conditions are reportedly the main reason why NVIDIA decided to release the next-gen GPUs based on Volta architecture. Aside from the fact that hardware sales decline and price war have eaten its margin for the first quarter of 2017, the upcoming AMD Radeon Vega GPU is also said to be a factor on the company's revision of plans, Game Debate reported.

If Nvidia secures 12nm they might be able to get away with it. If Vega comes out and is even remotely decent, AMD should at least be able to provide *some* competition this generation.

why the heck they even bother to release 1080Ti & updating 1080, 1060 if volta is this close to release?

or they are just forced to bring forward volta release because vega is kicking every pascal with the latest vega insight they gotten?

I'm kind of bothered about this as well. But since I'm on 144hz 1440p Gsync I wanted the 1080ti cause sli is a joke.

Absolute BS right there. What price war? If Volta is releasing in Q3 then maybe Vega is really good but that is still very much up in the air. Maybe a volta card to match 1070/1080 while reducing production costs significantly? Can't think of any other reason.

If they were sitting on stock waiting for Vega to release the 1080ti/Xp, they have to dump them on the market if they're less than 2Q away from the release of a new architecture. Fortunately for Nvidia they can afford an entirely new product stack, so why not make some more money before cashing in on a new series just a few months later.

OR... *puts tinfoil hat on*

BS fake alt news to overhype Vega and lead to unfairly deserved disappointment later on

I'd say you are doing it wrong. Wait 2-4 years on buying new games. Then buy ganes for $5-10 on steam sales. Upgrade GPU's every 4 years or so. My 780's are 4 years old now this month, but I got them for $250 each last year.

Right, 980 ti to 1080 ti is literally DOUBLE the performance yet you all say they are milking us.

THERE is always gonna be something new coming out down the road.

I don't think the 1080 To is what they're referring to. More the FE (de facto MSRP) prices of the 04s and the two new $1200 Titans. NV is trying to encourage a very profitable upgrade cycle for high end buyers.

680->780/Ti->980->980 Ti->1080->1080 Ti.

Even better if Titans factor in somewhere in the 30% uptick drip feed scheme.

NV only starts giving us decent prices at the tail end of each gen.

Also, it's far from 100% extra performance, especially factoring in overclocking (on both cards). Its 70% at most.

Most all benchmarks iv seen 980 TI SLI loses to 1080 ti stock.

This article "rumor or not" makes me that much more excited for vega. I really want to get a high-end amd card this time around to try out freesync!

Is the x70 going to cost $400+ again? Really not interested in shelling out that kind of $$$ for a midrange card
