Ahhh I see. Thanks for the clarification. I'm still very excited for Volta, even though I don't really need to upgrade anytime soon (Gtx 1060 on an ultrawide 1080p display).

The return of the king ! Our beloved Creative EAX quad core audio processors, now integrated in the CPU by Intel !!
Just imagine the nightmare for a second and be grateful

The news itself is reporting the TSMC increasing the production of Volta chips... one of these chips releases this year in HPC marketing as V100... the others probably early 2018.
But the news was too small so they used a old quote telling gaming Volta maybe late 2017 but probably early 2018 to fill the blank.
The title uses the correct news.
Hahaa I respect that RL & performance dedication. Will likely upgrade to Volta as well but still deciding on Ryzen 2 or Ice Lake. Next build will definitely be high end VR focused.

Hope so, I'm gonna need BuildGAF's help going from scratch at some point!

Yeah I'd get like 4x performance increase or something ridiculous lol
Wow that sounds great! Unfortunately I don't have one nearby
I think that's what I'm gonna do. I just gotta figure out which model I want. Thinking about the strix, I know this might not be the right place to ask but if anyone has any advice on which one to get it would be greatly appreciated.
They might do that online tooWow that sounds great! Unfortunately I don't have one nearby

And then you will wait for reference editions; And then you will wait for price gouging on early consumers to come down; And then you will wait for stock to stabilize and miners to stop buying; And then it'll be a year too late and the next card will be soon to be released.
Will wait for the Ti version, don't want to downgrade from 11 GB of video card memory from the 1080 Ti and since Vega is 8 GB I don't see Nvidia making the 1180 more then 8 GB. Nothing exciting in 2018 for me unless Zen 2 turns out to be an amazing overclocker so that I replace my 1700x, although I guess the 1180 Ti could come out in say November if the 1100 series debuts in February.

I would personally only choose between the Strix and the MSI Gaming X. They seem to consistently make great cards. EVGA is also good but with some of their issues (heat spreader stuff and whatnot) I would lean Asus or MSI. And there's the Gigabyte G1 Gaming (or I assume they have that model... they did for the other Nvidia cards). But I'm biased towards MSI or Asus myself.
I had an MSI Gaming X 970 and now a Gaming X 1070 and they are outstanding cards. My friend has a Strix 1070 and I think he's very happy with his too.

and AMD are back to playing catch up! Took them a year to put something out up against the 1070/1080 and nvidia are bringing Volta out soon lol.
my 1070 hasn't let me down yet so probably will hold off until whatever comes after volta.

They are still playing catch up as is seeing that Vega doesn't soundly beat a 1080/Ti/XP.
It's because of that shit nVidia doesn't see the need to release Volta earlier so we remain somewhat stagnant when we could be moving forward a lot faster and get more bang for the buck.
Next year Vega won't do shit either because it will be a refresh on either 7nm or 12nm so that won't change the current situation.

Probably same here. Unless I get a new monitor (which would be from ultrawide 1080p 75 Hz to ultrawide 1440p 144 Hz)

They didn't catch Pascal yet.
This is Intel's first upgrade to its audio standard in a very long time.

My 780 has been great but it's time for an upgrade. Already saving for the '1180 Ti' or equivalent card.

Any idea if this will be better than whats on the graphics card audio like nvidia and amd?

The 1080ti just came out and is an absolute monster, how are we stagnating exactly? It makes absolutely no sense for Volta to come out this year.

That's great and all if you have one and is content with it.
Had AMD brought something worthwhile to the table we might have seen Volta earlier, emphasis on might.
They didn't so nVidia can take it's sweet time and outdo themselves, it's kinda stupid but it is what it is.

i have a 1080ti
can't wait for a volta ti
so i can lust after the next nvidia card

I approve of this
That's how it goes with CPU/GPU, you're either waiting and waiting and waiting or you replace last year's model ASAP.

I'm fine with it as long as they keep outdoing themselves. The beauty of Nvidia is they are so focused on pushing new GPU technology for deep learning that their gaming division will continue to get new and powerful cards as a byproduct. Don't have to worry about them pulling an intel and sitting on their thumbs for years because there's no competition.

That much is true, plus they have their power consumption in order as well (basically they got almost everything in order).
For me it's mainly got to do with the next gen of consoles (hence why I need things to move a lot faster, especially with AMD).

Next gen consoles will almost certainly use what you are seeing released right now by AMD, so things moving quicker doesn't really help you in your case.

Yup, i'm happy with my pascal card too. Don't see myself upgrading for another generation or two. Unless they start releasing cards with more ram.
So am I but I do want to move to 4K. As it happens 4K high refresh rate monitors should be coming next year so I'm interested in Volta as the x80 part might be just that bit faster than 1080 Ti to make it possible to . At 1440p I currently play at I have no need to upgrade right now.
I believe the GPUs currently conform to Intel's 2004 HD Audio standard. Someone correct me.
There's reports that Cannonlake will be used only on low power laptop CPUs, so when it comes to desktop, Icelake will be Coffee Lake's successor.
I expect he means that Volta as shown in V100 is more of a departure from an architecture suitable for Geforce than we've seen in recent times. Nvidia's plans for the next Geforce might be a design as yet unannounced. At this point in time we have zero information, so I'd say it's at least possible given the landscape.

Oh yeah, this is what I'm waiting for now. I hope that the recently reignited buttcoin craze will not affect prices too much. I'll be in as soon as something not a Founders Edition is out.
4k 60fps for couch TV gaming in the living room, and 1440p 100+ fps for competitive shooters in my PC room will be awesome.

1070 + 1440p GSync going strong here.
I have my eye on those insane GSync 4K + 144Hz + FALD HDR monitors coming out next year though. Quantum dot will do since I don't see anything about an OLED gaming monitor coming out anytime soon
Volta will be a nice fit for those.

That the next GeForce architecture will be different from Volta in both name and h/w.
It also makes little sense to use Volta for a GeForce lineup nearly a year after Volta's launch. It would've made sense in 2017, not so much in 2018.

I've just never heard anyone saying this until you did yesterday. There's nothing on the roadmap after Volta, seems odd there'd be this new thing straight out of the left field that comes out in the next 6 without even a name.

I would love one of those monitors but they are supposed to be retailing at around 2 grand are they not?

I'm patient enough to wait for sales. I got my current 1440p Gsync at a fairly deep discount off of MSRP and I don't plan on upgrading within the next year or so.

Pascal is just unbeatable huh. How come Switch didn't get Pascal? Lol
