Will NVIDIA announce GeForce GTX 870 and 880 at Gamescom?
New rumors are showing some interesting developments regarding the upcoming GeForce GTX 870 and 880 from Nvidia. The two Maxwell Gm204 based graphics cards could make an early appearance or announcement mid-August already. There are two events rather soon where ‘something could be shown to public’. First is SIGGRAPH the second Gamescom. This event takes place in Germany between 13rd and 17th August.
Now some user at notebook-review forums posted the following:
Check the Title and comment. "New Maxwell cards incoming and then Gamescom. The screenshot shows 3DMark Firestrike in Extreme mode with a 6110 points score, roughly 20% better then a GeForce GTX 780 Ti.
Now if you blow up things a bit ... you could see an 800 series product mentions.
And then there's this from the NVIDIA UK Facebook. Now obviously we can not validate the score or anything, but this might be too much of a coincidence to suddenly appear on the web.

They should be faster than a Titan by at least 20%, were you seriously expecting something that was 50% or 100% faster?
And they are new (without the inverted commas).
It's not so much that I was expecting a 50% performance leap as that these cards are distinctly unimpressive performance wise and will likely be very expensive.
You are right, they are new and it wasn't my intention to indicate otherwise, just that for cards that are new, they aren't really delivering much more than what is on offer now.
If they are $500.00 a card, then I will definitely be a little less skeptical.

I got stung when I bought a £550 GTX 780 only for a full-cream GTX 780 Ti, a card more powerful than the original GTX Titan, to be released few short months later for the same price!!!
Commonsense is telling me I should wait the next set of cards out and pick one up after 2-3 months just to be sure I'm getting the best value for money. Not that I have been disappointed by my GTX 780 but being the most expensive graphics card I've ever bought it's hard to not to feel a bit bitter about not waiting.
I am fully agree with you.

Yeah dont rush.. If anything OC it a bit, so it boots ~ 1100 - 1150mhz with 13mv offset and max powerlimit.
I got my custom rather cheap, no tax 327€ on firm
and out of the box its like Titan performance or sometimes even a little faster, not bad imo ^^

Same thing happened to me.. Bought 2 780s then less than 3 weeks later the 780 TI came out. but luckly my 780 overclock extremely well so kinda made up for it
