Its not gonna be a $150 card, either way.

Maxwell 100-104M will be early next year.
or 200$ even.

I'd be shocked with the Titan Black and new 780/780 Ti 6GB coming out more recently if Maxwell comes out within the next 3 months. Maybe a 870/860 Maxwell?
Are we positive we'll be getting this news tomorrow?
We're not, but it's likely.
yeah the timing for 6GB 780 Ti (next may/june going with what EVGA-JacobF said) tells me Nvidia wont put something that faster than 780 Ti any time soon, at least not till early next year I think.

New 20nm Maxwell cards is unlikely IMO. I think they want their "new GPU spotlight" to be on the 790 we know is coming.
An announcement or two at Computex is more likely, but I'd be happy to be wrong.
Not positive, hopeful.
I actually had to look that up, I'd never heard of it. I'd love to see you be wrong, but you certainly could be right.

Now we're talking, can't wait to finally see that 880

Both TSMC and GlobalFoundries are about 2-3 years behind Intel on process improvements and honestly I see that gap widening, not narrowing. I would not be shocked if 20nm Maxwell wasn't until 2015.
I can only hope. I have this terrible feeling that it's going to be passed on.

Still no Eizo...
Was getting 750ti to step up in a month but ill hold my money till I hear prices
This, i want to know when can i change my goddamn ati 5850.
It's all about the Shield 2

has nvidia ever skipped a year entirely?
You are shattering my dreams here.

It would be hilarious if a large portion of the presentation was about coin mining.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I recently updated my whole rig except for the 5850 and even though it still works fine for most games at 1080p, I keep finding myself checking out the GTX 770s (4GB) at Newegg. I'm going to hold out for the 800s unless I find out that they are a year away or something. I've got my older PC ready to use for other things but it needs a GPU and I'd rather give it the old one and upgrade.

Hoping for some 800/20nm maxwell stuff. Hopefully they release within a year, right in time for a new pc build with 4 of them. May even end up pre-ordering these if the crypto-mining performance/efficiency is the same as the 750TI(dont wanna have to deal with the possible price inflation).
I'd expect between 6-7(for stock 880), with factory oc'd version pushing the ladder number/above 7.
I'd love for that to happen, but I seriously don't think we'll basically double the raw TFLOPS in one gpu generation(implying a single 880 = 10tflops by that number). 790/890(dual gpu's) would be more likely to sport 10+

Indeed i was about to pull the plunge on the 770 myself, but we're too close to the Maxwells now.

Considering they've already doubled the perf/W without a node shrink, I don't think 10 TFLOPS is out of the realm of possibility. Now, might they intentionally gimp it if AMD fails to show up? Maybe. Also, Kepler FLOPS ≠ Maxwell FLOPS, so that could complicate things further.
How did Nvidia nearly double TFLOPs in a refresh anyway (680 ==> 780 ti)? Did they really hold back in 2012 because of AMD?

Dat Jenson. Bring it on green team!
780 ti would be enough for that
If you're not joking I'll get a 780 Ti immediately. I'm just really hoping for 20 nm announcement of Maxwell tomorrow. I'm also hoping they announce the release before the DK2 comes out.

do we even know 800 desktop series will be 20nm maxwell?
laptop series were a mix of maxwell and kepler.
maybe 900?

We can be reasonably sure. 20nm GPU's *are* coming soon. There's certainly not room for an entire new line of cards in between.
Do you know how badass 780 Ti is?
We're talking Titan performance and a single GPU.. amazing what Nvidia did here.

Haswell-E is gonna cost a fortune for the 8-core version; the X99 motherboards will be extremely pricey as well and the new DDR4 memory I can only imagine...
I'm not sure the modest performance gains will justify the insane price. Haswell-K (Devil's Canyon) looks much more attractive to me.
790 announced and nothing else I bet.
Mobile tech is mindblowing, really.Can't wait to hear more about the K1
The power of a console in your hand and a gigantic leap in mobile processing power!!

Can't wait to hear more about the K1
How many GPU horses does a 780Ti have? Eleventy billion?
Ohhhh well now I'm very interested!
I actually remember bitching about Nvidia not supporting Guild Wars with their drivers and someone from Nvidia responded with "The game is CPU bound, we can't do much about it" well so much for that load of crap!

Where are you pulling this from? The six core version will probably be close to $600 just like it was for sandy bridge-e and ivy bridge-e. The 8 core version will most likely be $1000.
The top devil's canyon i7 CPU, on the other hand,will probably cost a little over $300. It will most likely overclock much better as well.

The iPad Air GPU is close to a GeForce 8600 GT in raw performance, which is kinda halfway there. However, this is NVidia and so far they have consistently under-delivered on their mobile promises, so I'll believe when I see it
on a device without fans
If that's GFLOPs, it's 5046. But 365 GFLOPs is GF 8800 GT territory.
