Nvidia Turing's graphics card leak suggests September release and high prices

Following a previous report on prices and the release date of future editions of GeForce GTX graphics cards from 2018, WccfTech claims to have learned even more information from sources connected to one of the partners manufacturers of Nvidia – some of which are contradictory. In short, according to WccfTech sources, we have to expect these cards to be expensive and arrive in September – not over a period of several months as in the previous report – but there is so much more than that to search.

While the output is supposed to know the specifications of three new graphics cards, namely their power (measured in watts) and their video memory capacity, apparently Nvidia's partners do not know what the naming convention of this video will be. generation.

Here is a preview of the upcoming three Nvidia graphics cards that are expected to work on Nvidia's new Turing graphics architecture, including power consumption, vRAM amounts, US manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) ) and the publication timing.

Since the model numbers are unknown, let the power guide you in choosing the position of everyone in the hierarchy – the 120W card will probably fulfill the role of the GTX 1060 today, the 150W in the role of the GTX 1070 etc.

• GPU 180W (11GB vRAM) : $ 699 – $ 749 in first week of September
• 150W GPU (8GB vRAM) : $ 599 by second week of September
• GPU 120W (8GB vRAM) : $ 499 by end of September

Now you will immediately notice that, according to WccfTech sources, Nvidia plans to New-generation 120W graphics card costs almost twice as much as it does currently for the GTX 1060 Founders Edition at $ 299 (about £ 225, AU $ 400). This is probably for two reasons: first, this version increases the video memory by 2 GB, which should significantly improve performance.

Second, WccfTech suspects that Nvidia does not stop selling the 10 series graphics cards, but sells them at a lower price than these new cards to build a larger family of products to achieve more price. Hopefully this is true, and that the next 120W card is significantly more powerful than today 's.

Remember that these price details are all MSRP compliant in the United States. Nvidia's partners can price their versions of Nvidia's GPU hardware as they wish, but do not expect much lower prices than what is seen here, as they also have to make a living. In fact, according to WccfTech sources, Nvidia will not have enough stock to meet the initial demand, and expect that demand-related prices will take place on retailers like Amazon and eBay .

Whatever the case may be, TechRadar IFA and Gamescom for the Turing debut.
