    I'm not sure if you just missed this or what, but there seems to be a MASSIVE hint that we will be seeing "Ampere" there right in the first line of NVIDIA's official press release: "Get Amped for Latest Platform Breakthroughs in AI, Deep Learning, Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics and Professional Graphics" Get it? Get AMPE(r)d? haha
  • Jon Tseng - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    lol good spot. Give its a capital A "Amped" I think you might be right!
  • csroc - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    given everything but the articles is capitalized I wouldn't read that far in to it, but hopefully the word choice is deliberate!
  • Hul8 - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    It's title case (for stylistic reasons), so the capitalization doesn't mean anything. Using that word does hint at Ampere.
  • willis936 - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    Strong induction! I feel an inrush of excitement.
  • p1esk - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    Are you surprised? What else can they possibly announce on May 15 other than Ampere arch? It's been widely known and expected since last year.
  • whatthe123 - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    There's always a chance that they sandbag the announcement while waiting for AMD to reveal something. AMD basically did the same thing to nvidia when they gave a bogus launch price on Navi and immediately undercut nvidia's super after they announced it.
  • p1esk - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    Personally I'm interested in the V100 successor, so that's the announcement I'm waiting for. If they also happen to release the successor to Quadro 8000 at a similar price I'll order four of them right away.

    I don't think consumers are going to react as well as they have in the past to $1200 flagship cards if they are indeed going to price them like they have in the past.

    They have always been a niche product sure, but as games have slowly been not pushing the bounds nearly as much as before, it makes little since to get bleeding edge.

    They would be better off doing it backwards, releasing low-high end.

    GTC isn't about consumer cards or gaming. Any discussion about that will be incidental to enterprise, scientific and architecture topics.
  • imaheadcase - Monday, April 27, 2020 - link

    Well duh, but they always make it a prelude to what to kind of expect with consumer cards.
  • whatthe123 - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    I don't think there was ever a good reaction to the insane price of the 2080ti. People bought it anyway because they have money to burn. I'd say it's very likely there will be another "consumer" GPU at $1k from nvidia and maybe one from AMD as well considering rumors of "Big Navi."
  • Kjella - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    There's always people with enough money, but if you look at the latest Steam survey 1.52% have a 1080 Ti and only 0.73% a 2080 Ti, even though both are pretty mature cards by now. The price is a result of nVidia knowing they have no competition. The 3080 Ti generation will hopefully be competing against Big Navi and it'll also need to distance itself from the new consoles.

    Unlike in the past, consumers have an extra $1200 to spend this year. A flagship for everyone! 2020 is going to be bright, ray traced at 1440p, 144fps!
  • eva02langley - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    I guess you wanted to say that people DON'T have a money in the present time to spend on frivolities like an enthusiast GPU.
  • imaheadcase - Monday, April 27, 2020 - link

    Not everyone got a check, the million of suckers who used those "tax planners" set up in malls and walmarts to get refund on prepaid cards won't see it at all.
  • Yojimbo - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    Everybody wants the most expensive card to be the highest one they can afford :P
  • Dug - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    I was wondering why I was seeing deep discounts on video cards at various places.
    I just bought a 2080 super for $530 thinking no new cards were coming out.
  • Dug - Friday, April 24, 2020 - link

    Of course announcement and availability will be two different things
  • whatthe123 - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    $530 for a 2080 super is a good deal considering how high current prices are. Those things still go for 699
  • Slash3 - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    If that was a 2080 Super (and not a 2070 Super) for $530, you made out like a highwayman on that one.
  • drexnx - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    might explain why I was able to snag a gigabyte gaming OC 2080ti for 900 as well.
  • drexnx - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    (with $50 MIR to come later as well)
  • eva02langley - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    Still a scam for what it is. It is about 30-35% faster than a 5700XT while costing almost 3 times the cost. I got my MSI 5700 XT gaming X for 365$.
  • drexnx - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    a 5700XT would have been almost a sidegrade from my 1080, and I have a 1440p 144hz g-sync monitor anyway. Kinda locked into team green until 4k144 is possible/standard

    plus "iT hAs RaYtRaCinG!"
  • eva02langley - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    It was a good deal, it's barely 10-20$ more expensive than a 2070s MSRP.
  • dwade123 - Saturday, April 25, 2020 - link

    RIP AMD. Have fun with console peasants while Nvidia gobbles up 99% of PC gamers.
  • eva02langley - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    Consoles are going to push 2160p, not the halo segment of the PC dGPU. I am way more interested in a PS5 than any new product from Nvidia. Once again, consoles are innovating to the point that the PC industry is playing catch up.
  • BenSkywalker - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    You have to be in awe of RDNA, with a full node advantage and an extra year of development time they somehow managed to not obliterate the 2080ti in performance, they didn't even match it, but they went rely above and beyond by not matching the 2080 Super and in fact struggle to compete with the 2070 Super while barely winning on power usage.....

    The mind boggles, obviously a team of actual engineers couldn't fail that hard, they must have been trying to set a new standard for shockingly poor product management to fool nVidia into taking a nap.

    Anything less then 60% faster than a 2080Ti in traditional raster and 300% faster in ray tracing will be a humiliating failure for RDNA2.
  • Vesperan - Monday, April 27, 2020 - link

    Different tier cards. You may as well reframe your comment to say that Nvidia failed because the 2070 didn't manage to obliterate the 2080ti. Of course it didn't, it was never meant to.

    Don't take that as me saying Navi is best most amazing card ever made and that AMD tech is better than Nvidia. Its simply not - for one thing AMDs power consumption is way too higher given their process node advantage. But I don't criticise a mid-weight Navi for not obliterating a heavy weight Turing.

    For my 10 cents I'm hoping Ampere is fantastic in the midrange - driving down AMD prices so I can get a cheaper RX5700 (Freesync monitor).
  • BenSkywalker - Monday, April 27, 2020 - link

    That's the spin?

    Compare the 780ti to the 1060, that's a full node drop.

    You could also compare the 980ti to the 2060.

    RDNA, on a engineering basis, is profoundly poor. That doesn't make it a bad consumer part as cost is crucial obviously.

    Side note- you can turn on adaptive sync with nVidia cards on FreeSync displays, that's been a thing for a while now.
  • eva02langley - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    Expecting AMD to spoil the party with some RDNA 2.0 news at the same time.
  • BenSkywalker - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link

    Like 'Poor Volta'?

    That was some accurate marketing, Volta's feet are almost worn down to the ankles at this point, kicking AMD's head in for product cycle after product cycle after product cycle just grinding it down.

    Volta launched in 2017 and it is still just booting AMD's latest and greatest in the face... Poor thing is getting exhausted.

    Just wait for Vega.....
    We meant wait for Vega on 7nm....
    We meant wait for RDNA.....
    We meant wait for RDNA2.....

    Maybe fourth time is the charm?
