| Next-gen consumer GPUs rumored to launch in September From both Nvidia and AMD According to a report from Digitimes, next-gen consumer graphics cards from both Nvidia and AMD could launch in September. While Digitimes did not specify if these are consumer-oriented Geforce and Radeon products, both Nvidia and AMD have already confirmed its Ampere- and RDNA 2-based graphics cards are coming before the end of this year. Nvidia Ampere is all about AI but Geforce should be impressive Earlier this month, Nvidia has unveiled its Ampere-based GA100 GPU, which is a part of Nvidia's new DGX A100 AI system and while the consumer Geforce graphics cards will be slightly different, it was obvious that Ampere is all about AI, and we expect the new 3rd generation Tensor Cores to play a big role in next-gen Geforce cards as well. It is pretty likely that Nvidia has updated the RT Cores as well, and its next-gen Geforce graphics cards will, of course, get all improvements and benefits of the new architecture. Nvidia paved the ray tracing way and has brought a lot of developers to the ray tracing side. While there is only a handful of games with ray tracing, Nvidia did manage to score some big titles like Battlefield V, COD: Modern Warfare, Control, Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro: Exodus, and others, as well as more recently, Quake II RTX and Minecraft RTX. There is also a significant list of games that are coming including Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs: Legion, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and more. Nvidia has announced its Turing-based Geforce RTX cards back in August 2018, with September availability, followed by Titan RTX in December, RTX 2060 in January 2019, and RTX Super series in July 2019, which showed that the Turing GPU can scale quite well across the entire market range. Nvidia even had room to cut-off RT cores which led to the Geforce GTX 16 series launched in March 2019. https://fudzilla.com/news/graphics/5...h-in-september |
