Both Custom and Founder Graphics GeForce 3000 cards Launch Simultaneously
As the topic title says, word out on the cyber street is that custom (AIB) and NVIDIA Founder Graphics GeForce 3000 cards would launch simultaneously.
It has to be stated that this is based on chatter on the web, so take the news with a bit of care. Historically NVIDIA has been launching founder cards first, and then a few weeks later the AIB/AIC's (board partners) could launch their revised models with all the improvements they added. It's, however not confirmed.
From the looks of things we'll get a bit of a teaser on August the 31st, official announcements on September the 9th, the 17th the actual release. It has to be stated though, it's NVIDIA and just based on all the media news with semi-confirmed launch dates, for kicks and giggles they could just shuffle it up a little here and there.
Since we now have three dates I could throw in another argument, August the 31st announcements, September the 9th release and founder card reviews and the 17th AIB availability. That's just a thought though. But it is safe to say that early September you all get to learn all you want to know about the new Ampere based graphics cards.

Ah, the smell of an ignorant fanboy in the air. Nice attempt to provoke me - bad luck brother, won't work so easily.
I don't only play at my pc, so for my use case, 5700xt is perfect right now.
Besides, re-read what I wrote " There are 0 upcoming titles I'm looking forward to " and yes - that includes Cyberpunk.
The hype-train lot (you make a perfect case study example of it) have their expectations 10 times over what the game will most likely offer. I think it will flop and will be full of bugs at the release. Hence playable only year(s) after the actual release.
1070 was a great pick and I agree with you there, however, recent Turing release was full of all kinds of technical issues by itself (remember the constant VRAM issues that plagued some high-end card batches at the start).
I have a 5700xt like yourself, however, I'm looking to upgrade. Most likely get a high end Nvidia card and sell my 5700xt while the value is there to recoup some of the cost. Much like your belief, it's all about the use cases and I think I'd get more out of a Nvidia card. Also, I've been buying AMD since Radeon 7870 and I'd like to dip my toe in the other camp. The only thing is, rather than buying straight off the bat, I'm going to wait for reviews and then make an educated decision.

Don't make hasty purchase decisions - let both NVIDIA and AMD release their products, get reviewed, and only then make a purchase.
Personally, depending on the prices/actual value/performance - will wait till the start of the next year or probably skip this gen altogether. There are 0 upcoming titles I'm looking forward to, and still have a gazillion of old ones to catch up on with my 5700xt.
This^^ It´s better to see what both have to offer instead of going for the one that releases first. Not to mention the prices will be better from both sides. I want to see Nvidia and AMD fighting for my money!

Couldn't agree more. This gen, in theory, should be more competitive as a lot is at stake. NVIDIA will most likely still lead in terms of the performance, but at least AMD will catch up feature-wise (addition of ray-traced features to their GPU lineup). So, in theory, we should get better competition in mid-range and definitely NVIDIA won't be able to pull off what they have made with Turing due to "drum roll" - lack of competition.

AMD are arriving late to the party, I can't, unfortunately, wait for their cards but realistically speaking Ampere cards are going to be annoyingly hard to source for those of us wanting to wait for reviews until we bite. Frustrating times ahead.

Just to clarify; I plan on getting a big AMD GPU at years end but will not wait until both are released before getting Ampere.

You let both NVIDIA and AMD release their products and got a 5700XT LOL
Enjoying them terrible drivers much? Gonna be real enjoyable when Cyberpunk releases and you get 30-40% FPS less than Nvidia users enoying their crisp DLSS non-TAA experience

I know it's best to see performance of both product line-ups, but, imho, early adoption is the way to go to maximise the benefits of a new card and having those benefits for the longest time possible.
If it looks good I'm not waiting. I got my GTX1070 from release, no regrets. For £420 I think I've maximised the benefits of this card and had my monies worth more so than those who bought it a year later (at same or higher price) after seeing what AMD had to offer. I finished my current build in 20/6/2016, so I'm looking at less than £100 a year to have this card. Not too bad imho.
Also, the 5700xt is a great performer for the money, you don't need to upgrade yet.
1070 was a great pick and I agree with you there, however, recent Turing release was full of all kinds of technical issues by itself (remember the constant VRAM issues that plagued some high-end card batches at the start).
