NVIDIA: Something super is coming...

It's still E3 week! I wont be surprised if it's revealed tomorrow, after all the conferences are done.
So what are we expecting? 2060/2070 ti and a 2080 ST? I still don't feel the need to upgrade this 1080 ti quite yet.
Give me 7nm Nvidia!

NVidia's GPU in the new switch is rumored tol be powerful enough to mine cryptocurrency.
Asked to confirm these rumors a spokesperson at Nintendo replied, "It prints money!!"

I'm not aware of any NDA on this so far. Maybe they've changed the timing or scrapped the idea altogether after seeing what Navi actually is.
Nah, clearly they're waiting for the Nintendo go-ahead to show off the Super Switch
/s
I very much doubt they've scrapped the idea. If it was happening early July to optimally poke AMD, board partners will already be into testing and assembly wouldn't they?
Gamescom is another possibility for Nvidia, but end of August seems just a little late to me, unless Navi's 7th July date is just a paper launch.
We've had products refreshed in this way before, but it's mainly the very top-end, so not only are customers for those products less likely to balk at the idea, Nvidia doesn't really publicise it because it doesn't mean anything to the vast majority. Kepler Titan then Titan Black, Pascal Titan X and Titan Xp, I suppose Titan V and then the CEO edition.
With Pascal we got a refreshed 1060 6GB and 1080, but that was just a 1Gbps memory bump, and there was hardly any press for that if I remember correctly. Mainly because it made almost no difference and was probably more about what the memory suppliers were making at the time. I wonder how much press they're going to give this refresh?
Not that they're any better but videocardz got the same info. Likely it's the same BS 'leaker'
NV's biggest issue are prices and whatever they will introduce will likely tackle this issue first. Prices on semiconductor products tend to become lower over time which means that the more you wait the lower you can go. In this sense I can definitely see them riding it out as long as they can.
And Navi's 7/7 launch will likely have minimal quantities but what's even more important - I don't really see how it challenges current RTX cards, with one exception of 2060 possibly.
Very, very unlikely indeed. As a comparison, AMD's brand new GPU provides HDMI 2.0b.
supposedly tomorrow is the announcement. this rumor pegs the prices as follows
2080 super - $800 - increase 2944 to 3072 shaders and 14 to 16 gbps vram
2070 super - $600 - increase from 2304 to 2560 shaders
2060 super - $430 - increase from 6gb to 8 gb of vram
there will probably be some bumps to stock clocks as well
Even Navi 5000 doesn't seem to be shipping with 2.1 support, so a minor Turing refresh is pretty much out of the question as disappointing as both of those factoids are.
I remember when people were critiquing the RTX series on launch for not having it, haha.
is there a timer countdown ? i wanted to buy a rtx 2080 ti but news sites are saying they will go down in price today because of some announcement?
2080 Ti is unlikely to go down in price any time soon. But if you can wait then wait till mid-July at least, maybe something will happen.
Was anyone? I remember saying it's a major reason I wouldn't be slightly upgrading my GPU, but it was never blame towards Nvidia. I knew there was no 2.1 silicon available and Navi was the first reasonable chance we had (although that was far from guaranteed too). LG is looking pretty smart for licensing the tech so they could manufacture the chipsets themselves (although with no GPUs releasing in 2019 with 2.1, it's kind of a useless reason to upgrade your TV now. Mine as well wait for the 2020 LG's with the next gen panels unless your TV dies and you need something now).
The official news now that it's real is that 2060 is getting a price drop, 2080ti is still the top of the line card so isn't going to get a price drop.
So it seems that the consensus is that if you need a graphics card now, the 2060S/2070S are worth it over their Pascal counterparts (finally), right? And don't buy the OG 2060/2070/2080 too?
However, if you can wait, wait until Navi review embargos are lifted and then we will get the comparison to the competition too, right?

From AMDs own benches the 5700xt will get smoked by a 2070s.
But how much can you trust a manufacturer's own benchmarks? Isn't that why we wait for the independent reviewer's own videos to make a definitive conclusion?
Reviewers prolly have test 5700 units or are about to, so it's not like we are going to have to wait for a long time to see the full picture.
Super really doesn't sound to me too much like the sort of branding Nvidia would use, it's too... cheerfully cartoony.
It *does* fit Nintendo, of course, but Nvidia promoing that would seem a bit odd.
Could it be a Super Tegra, designed for a Super Switch? That's just about the sort of marriage of company styles that conceptually works for me.
Edit: Oh, old thread, and it really is just card branding. Intriguing, it's not something that strikes me as Nvidia's style.

There's been a new thread for this for quite some time now. Please redirect discussion there: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nvidia-rtx-20-super-series.122750/
