Nvidia will release mainstream GP106 GPUs later this year

According to several sources the equivalent of the GTX 950 and GTX 960 (we don't know the names yet but let's call them GTX 1050 and 1060 for now) would be released later in the year, an Autumn release meaning the Christmas season.

The chip empowering the product will be a 16nm fabbed Pascal under the logical code-name GP106. The GP106 is used for price competitive and sensitive products that hit a good price/perf ratio.

If we chart things up (and the chart below ids very speculative) we see the following. BTW the GP104-400 for the Ti might very well become a GP100 based SKU, which would make more sense

NVIDIA GeForce		Possible name	Pascal	Fab	Board	Date
GTX Titan X	>>	TBD	GP 100	16nm	Reference -> AIB	TBD
GTX 980Ti	>>	GTX 1080 Ti	GP 104-400	16nm	Reference -> AIB	June/July
GTX 980	>>	GTX 1080	GP 104-200	16nm	Reference -> AIB	June
GTX 970	>>	GTX 1070	GP 104-150	16nm	AIB design	June
GTX 960	>>	GTX 1060	GP 106	16nm	AIB design	October
GTX 950	>>	GTX 1050	GP 106	16nm	AIB design	October

So from the looks of it this summer will be all about the successors to the Geforce GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti.

What do you mean by 2x FP16?
From what I saw this is only Tesla specific, I kind of doubt geforce benefits from such stuff..

I dont think we will see the GTX1080Ti soon, i think the release will be very similar to the GTX780 and GTX980, where their Ti counter parts where released 6-8 months later. My guess is

GTX1080/1070 = June 2016 (Announced on Computex)
GTX1060/1050 = December 2016
GTX1080Ti = February 2017 (probably announced in CES)

Indeed..
Maxwell "relase date strategy" was good/profitable for Nvidia.
So they may use similar or same plan for a Pascal.
Also more harder "handle" many GPU lines in same time...

^
That plan started with Kepler GK104 chip (680gtx), by Fermi GF104/114 it was too weak vs AMD high-end so they couldn't do such pricing..

Imo its crazy, but people will always buy it even if its overpriced..
I would say by nv its only top tier gpus that are worth and will last much longer. I mean so far any of these Gx104/114/204 chips showed its real place :pc1:
