NVIDIA partners halt GeForce GTX 970, 980, 980Ti production and GPU Pascal codenames surface
In anticipation of upcoming Pascal products in the coming month or two, at least that's what hwbattle is reporting this morning. As we get closer to the actual launch more and more tiny little details surface, combined bringing a bigger picture.
Can you smell it in the air ? :sniff::sniff: - yeah that's the smell of 16nm GPUs coming closer and closer.
It looks like that Nvidia will indeed name the upcoming GTX series the GeForce GXT 1070, 1080 and as it seems now perhaps even a 1080 Ti. The GPU naming now surfaced as well. Logic however would assume a Ti release later in the year opposed to everything being released at once in the summer.
- Equivalent to GTX 980 Ti will use a GP 104-400 GPU
- Equivalent to GTX 980 will use a GP 104-200 GPU
- Equivalent to GTX 970 will use a GP 104-150 GPU
As you can see that still leaves open GP100 (big pascal) for later in the year with likely a Titan based naming, ...

Equivalent to GTX 980 Ti will use a GP 104-400 GPU should be 1080
Equivalent to GTX 980 will use a GP 104-200 GPU should be 1070
Equivalent to GTX 970 will use a GP 104-150 GPU should be 1060
GP 104 won't be using HBM2
GP 100 probably 6 to 12 month away yet, with plenty of HBM2 ready for production runs.
GP 100 is probably the Ti and Titan naming range.
My expectations as well. No point in continuing selling 980ti if a GP104 product matches or beats it at a similar or lower price. Same with 980/970. Also think the 1070/1060 will out-perform the 980/970 and may probably be at the current 970/960 price points.

Hopefully with this die-shrink, we'll also see some mxm cards for laptops. Double-performance of my GTX980m would be amazing.

Sorry for the stupid question but this die-shrink to pascal is 14nm or 16nm? Or something else?
Looks like I will be either buying a used 980 ti or I will wait for new Gpu's to hit the market next time I upgrade,my 780 has served me well thus far.

Pascal will use 16nm fabrication, Polaris will use 14nm.

Yeah, THOSE were the days. Had an Albatron 5600FX 128MB which I had upgraded to a Gigabyte GeForce 6800 GT 256MB at that time.
I must still have it laying around somewhere irc. I think I had gotten a price for it. Can't remember. Seems decades ago. ha!
Good times!
