No doubt, the announcement and launch will be one of the most anticipated events of 2020. Maybe something good has finally come out of 2020. Let’s wait and see.
Taken from Videocardz … In the past few weeks, we have heard it is either August or September, with more sources leaning towards the latter. The fact that August is still appearing in the rumor is rather simple. Almost 2 years ago NVIDIA introduced RTX 20 Turing series. It was on August 20, but the cards were not released until a month later, on September 20. Naturally, it is expected that NVIDIA might repeat itself with a similar launch schedule, considering how quiet the company recently has become.
Later this month we have Gamescom, which starts on August 27th. The RTX 20 Turing series was introduced a day before Gamescom 2018 officially kicked off. NVIDIA always seems to have an announcement surrounding the event. Last year it was RTX-powered games for Gamescom 2019 and new drivers. However, this year is different due to the global pandemic. There will no public event, only an online streaming show. The CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang does appear to like public appearances a lot, which puts NVIDIA taking part in the show in doubt, after all, they might just do another kitchen Ampere launch themselves.
…
The site MyDrivers now claims that Ampere is set to launch on September 17th. According to the report GeForce RTX 3070 is also expected to be released a month later than RTX 3080 series (in October). Additionally, the RTX 3060 series is now expected in November. This would be sooner than RTX x060 2 year launch cadence, since 2060 was released in January 2019.
