NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 on March 15th and GTX 1650 on April 30th?
Last Friday we've published the first round of GeForce 1660 Ti graphics cards. In that article, we've already hinted towards a non-Ti model as well. The chatter on that is now getting more substantial, we've also mentioned a possible GeForce GTX 1650 as well, here again, a possible launch date has surfaced.
Sources from Digitimes now state that Nvidia is would be launching the GeForce GTX 1660 on March 15 and a GeForce GTX 1650 on around April 30th, which will bear minimum price tags of US$229 and US$179, respectively.
This will follow the firm's release of two medium- and low-end versions in the first quarter of 2019, including RTX2060 in mid-January at a minimum unit price of US$349 and GTX1660Ti in late February with a floor price of US$279. The four new graphics cards, ranging from US$179-349, are expected to bring heavy pricing pressure on AMD's mid-tier and low-end offerings such as VEGA 64/65 and RX590/580/570. With the launch of the four products bearing high price-performance ratios, Nvidia is apparently seeking to refocus its graphics card business on the medium- and low-end market in the first half of 2019 to prevent its profits from falling further and drive AMD's share in the market down to under 25% or even 20%, industry sources commented. The drastic shrinkage in demand for crypto mining graphic cards seen since the second quarter of 2018 prompted Nvidia to fast reduce its inventory in the following months, minimizing the impact on profitability.

yup, as I said. this is why AMD is dropping their Polaris prices.
pretty sad.

Feel free to buy AMD stocks to feel happier.
I am glad we finally getting good prices on video cards. Feels like good old Northern Islands days.

So are the 2000s going to grind all through 2019 and at best we get a 1680 Ti or what ever it will be called with out RTX and be the same perf as the 2080 Ti but for a lower price?
Probably no 3000s or 7nm 2000s this year hey.
Since PCIe 4.0 drops this year I sort of thought Nvidia would want to pump out a card to run on that tech but I guess they will just do a pass for now. I really wonder if Navi will force anything out Nvidia this year and if Nvidia has anything planed just in case.

It's still hard to say what Nvidia is up to at this point.
We know they're using the cut and partially defunctional chips in the cards they release now, but I doubt we will see any "2080TI without RT" since those cut down chips probably make it to the 2070 / 2060 respectively.
With PCIe 4.0, I guess they will offer something for that tech, but they might merely hold onto their cards until AMD releases their next Navi top dog, seeing how it goes (and how it's priced), and then they'll release their "answer". But that's just speculation at this point.

Dropping your prices means you have no real answer to the competition.
but I guess that's nothing new from the Radeon team at AMD.

In the old days there was a new release about once a year. But since stuff was a bit slower recently, with Pascal, there was a bigger gap. So maybe we can see 7nm Turing or whatever new architecture for the holiday season (ie. christmas), or maybe we won't.
PCIe 4.0 is really in no hurry, since PCIe bandwidth is not a limiting factor for current graphics cards. They'll probably support it on the next generation, or maybe the one after, but I doubt they would use it as a reason to rush something out.

yup, as I said. this is why AMD is dropping their Polaris prices.
pretty sad.
Sad thing is that nvidia didnt have answer to polaris before march 2019.

All these new releases translate to me that the 2000 series aint selling as well as expected.I m sure many ppl holded back cause of the absurd pricing and the fact that there is not much to do with Ray tracing at this point.Only good thing is that there will be more price cuts on AMD.

Can you stop with saying the same thing in almost every topic? We get it, you aren't happy with AMD.

It´s going to be interesting if the GTX cards sell like crazy and the RTX cards continue to sell poorly...
