Nvidia Possibly to Announce GeForce GTX 1100 series during Gamescom
Who knows, all speculation might finally come to an end. Chatter on the web indicates that NVIDIA is preparing to make some announcements at Gamescom in Koln Germany this year, as Nvidia has sent around some media invitations.
Whatever NVIDIA is going to announce and present, we do hope it is the new GeForce GTX 1100 series as it has been a long time coming. The news surfaced on the web earlier today through website videocardz, who claims that Nvidia has sent invitations for an event that will take place around or during Gamescom. Gamescom this year will start August 21st and has become pretty much what is the E3 for Europe. Videocardz also notes that the invite does not mention anything specific about graphics cards and places focus on games.
Of course, this might end up being an HDR related series of announcements, but with GDDR6 being fabbed and shipped in huge batches, we hope very much it will be the GeForce GTX 1170 and 1180, perhaps in a Founders Edition?

New cards will probably cost 50% more than the last ones, both due to left over stock and inflated prices.
Until AMD releases something, we probably won't see competitive prices.
My fear is if we have to wait for Intel...knowing them it probably won't work either...

I'm planning on buying my first Monitor upgrade since the cheap LG W2361V i got so many years ago.
I'm aiming at an ultrawide and i can assure that once you play in one you don't want to go back, anyway
The problem is that i'm aiming at a GSync ultrawide and here is where the problem is, with my current GTX1080 it will be fine but the GTX1080 isn't that good of a card for what i want and on a Ultrawide is even worse, but the issue is,
AMD is reading 7nm GPUs with should allow for a huge clock improvement just on the core alone, and if i was to upgrade to the next XX80 it would be a Ti which means that is another Year before those are even out so by then AMD 7nm GPUs should be out and my GSync will be useless, not a good time to upgrade right now :/

Hopefully...Europe needs to be as important as US when it comes to these expos, we need more of this.

Core clock is only partially tied to the manufacturing node. There are a bunch of other optimizations that need to be done in order to get clockspeed up in an architecture, things like critical path optimization and cell library optimization. AMD going to 7nm doesn't automatically mean the clockspeeds are going to increase. Also because 7nm is so new and yields will likely be low at the start, both AMD/Nvidia will target smaller cards (~300mm2) for consumer space. Which means that neither company will probably release anything significantly faster than a 1080Ti anytime soon. Most likely 10-15%+ 1080Ti esque performance at lower pricing/power - similar to the 1080 from the 980Ti.

If they could show a Metro Exodus PC demo with RTX, physX and HDR that would be beneficial for all.
