Rumor: NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3000 video cards launch delayed to September

With all that is going on in the world, it seems that NVIDIA is adapting as well. The Ampera GPU based consumer products would now be announced in September. Originally is was the plan to share detail on the new architecture during the postponed GDC.

With Computex postponed, and (for now) scheduled and moved towards September Nvidia would join up to announce Ampere. It would already be an introduction to that, as it had previously done with Turing. According to the source (tweak town), the company would first launch a business Quadro video card, with the RTX 3000 series for gamers and consumers shortly following later in the year.

For the time being, however, this is bigtime speculation.

You know the saying,
When the rumors are thick, so is the BS!

There's absolutely no indication of any greater than Turing architecture on the horizon!
Pascal was great! Turing is even greater!
The next one might as well be Turing on steroids, right?
Realistically speaking,
The architecture has matured. The only benefits that we still can get, are:
- more RTX cores per GPU
- pcie 4.0 support.
- possibly more than 1 GPU core per package would lower the cost of monolithic GPU dies.

Pcie 4.0 is only necessary for 1x slots at the moment, as in most cases that would fully saturate (no bottleneck) a 2080Ti or similar in performance.

I'll gladly take Turing on steroids. I wanna see better RT performance.

Nvidia isn't exactly under pressure to get this released sooner. They want to appease shareholders, and although a few weeks isn't going to do much, it will do something to improve initial sales.

With PS5 coming out not sure I even care honestly. I'll be going there for exclusives, and win 7 + 1080ti can get me another 1.5 years I think. Backlog is too big.

Next upgrade will definitely be going for some kind of used Zen 3 or something. Hope I can make it that long, but quite honestly I don't have many doubts. So many games...

Yep. The 5700XT will last for the next gen. PS5 is my next upgrade.

Sony has been jumping on the PC bandwagon in recent years. Exclusives from Sony and Microsoft will be a thing of the past soon. PC Gaming FTW.

MS is porting the games to PC. SONY not.
The only PS4 exclusive on PC is Horizon New Dawn and this 3 1/2 years after its release. We won't see a single PS5 exclusive on PC because it won't run on 99% of the PCs people have, according to Steam Survey. Even the Xbox X Series games would have really high specs that the same percentage won't be able to play at all.
