Nvidia's Volta Architecture will not be releasing to consumers anytime soon
- Thread starter WYP
- Start date
I do wonder if the delay was due to the result of the Sandwich cards Vega 56 and 64 which reviewers placed above and below the 1080 card.
Had the Vega 64 been a competitor then maybe they would have announced something sooner. Don't get me wrong, Vega 64 is a good card but it doesn't really have Nvidia worried does it? No point in the green team competing against itself.

Sounds right to me. Vega is not much competition at all for Nvidia. Performing a little behind but costing more with more power draw. Nvidia is still on top right now so might as well slow down Volta a little and tweak on it a little more maybe. Hell I don't know how they make these things, I just know that AMD ain't got anything for Nvidia.
Only thing AMD has is miners which I wouldn't want if I were them. If the mining craze bursts like it did before, then you'll have a flood of cards in the used marker dragging prices down and you'll have a bunch of people abusing the RMA system.
Not a fan of mining. Wish they could make some miming specific cards for these guys so they'd leave our gamers cards alone so prices would go thru the roof and you could actually find cards in stock.

Well if this is a case of delaying it because of lack of competition on AMD's part, I'm glad that they've outright delayed it, not do an Intel and release loads of cards with little improvements. But saying that, we my see a Pascal refresh coming up sometime instead

Poor Vega indeed. At this stage I feel like I wish I hadn't invested in Freesync. I'm just acting like a spoilt little millennial, but still.

I think Volta is due to launch next year. But I doubt it will be in desktop form, let alone PCIE. It will probably be another card like the first big Pascal.
Volta, IIRC, is a new tech too, so they won't save money by making it. Pascal is a shrink, and the dies are small (well, 1070 and 1080) so there's no reason not to just keep cashing in. It's been out a year? now? and they are still getting high prices for those small dies.

Not surprising really considering they have zero competition at the high end i.e 1080 Ti/Titan XP/Xp
