Here is your first look at NVIDIA’s next-generation prototype graphics card

It appears that a prototype version of NVIDIA’s next-generation graphics cards has been leaked online. A Redditor has just shared the following image that shows a prototype board featuring 12GB of VRAM.

Now as said, this is a prototype board, meaning that the next NVIDIA GPUs won’t be similar to this. Still, we are pretty sure that some NVIDIA fans will be interested in it because… well… we all love leaks and we all highly anticipate the new NVIDIA GPUs.

Going into slightly more details, this board has a 384-bit memory bus and 12GB VRAM. The memory bandwidth appears to be at 14 Gbps data rate, pushing 672 GB/s.

Again, let me once again say that this board is not representative of the next GeForce GPU (the rumoured GTX1180). As you will see, the GPU chip is missing from this board so we may be looking at the prototype board for next Quadro GPU.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

  1. Going by the last 4 generations, Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal the 384 bit bus has been for the high end GPUs. The midrange had 256 bit buses. Though the 1080 Ti did have a slightly gimped memory bus (352 bit) because of the 11 GB VRAM. There had to be some difference in specs for the extra $500 that Nvidia wanted for the Original Pascal Titan X. I seriously doubt we will see the launch of the 1180 Ti this year. Most likely we will get the 1170 and 1180 sometime this year and 6-9 months later the 1180 Ti.

  2. This isn’t for Gamers, John. Because the chances are very slim for this board to be a consumer part (more likely TESLA or a QUADRO)

    No offense, but Stop posting such TECH related news….

    When I bring something up, you just simply IGNORE, but you keep on posting stuff YOU think is okay ?

    1. Assuming this board has 12 GB of GDDR6 Memory, so this could hint we are looking at a 384-bit Memory Bus Interface as well.

      8Gb dies with 14 GB/s memory speed. So this could very well be Quadro, or the upcoming next-gen Tesla.

      1. With all due respect, I never asked for your opinion. I’m done with this website though. Consider this to be my last presence over here.

        I’ve always supported DSOG since day one, but not anymore.

          1. Wow, that doesn’t seem very respectful from someone crying about harsh comments. You’re all the same, join ResetEra, you’ll fell like home in that cesspit.

          2. Relax buddy….You are misunderstanding me. I know you are a pretty decent forum member out here, but I was just replying to the troll above, not to you or anybody else.

          3. Please, don’t put words into my mouth…Like I said, the actual troll deserved that word, so that’s why I said that.

            Have you EVER seen me trolling/abusing anyone over here ?? Nope. Check my ENTIRE disqus posting history.

            If you find any of my previous comments having such type of conversation, then please kindly let me know.

        1. Well, it would be a shame if you did go. You and several others bring a lot of experience and knowledge to this site and I have seen you helping others with explanations. I hope you change your mind. The trolling will probably be lessened after the next vote.

          1. Hello,

            Thanks for your concern and kind words. It means a lot. I read all the comments here before, but I wasn’t sure how to reply back.

            Sorry for the delay.

            Well actually, I’ve never felt that much comfortable with this website, given the current state it is in, and I doubt things will improve in future, when some new Voting or Moderation policy comes up ?

            I don’t think JOHN is that much serious with all this, and he is sometimes least bothered about his readers, and the comment section as well. I still respect him though.

            But he shouldn’t be doing this, because after all it’s his website. Sometimes I feel this is his own personal BLOG type of thing.

            Anyways, there are still many other members like me, who actually refrain from posting any comment out here, or be a part of this community, because we feel kind of insecure out here and others might also bash/taunt us, if given an opportunity.

            You and few others are an asset here, pretty decent and well-mannered, but some members totally spoil and derail the entire comment section.

            There is also ZERO moderation done over here.

            I will see what to do with my current decision. But, as evident from all the replies in this topic, you guys can easily GUESS that nobody wants me to come back, or be a part of this community.

            Most of the guys, if not all, are quite happy with my decision, if I leave DSOG forever.

            Some members hate and/or dislike me, even though I don’t even know them.

            If once in a while I post a rant, then all hell breaks loose ? I just don’t get it. Anyways, thanks for reading.

            Sorry for all this mess. My bad. Best wishes.

        2. I couldn’t care less about your ‘proof’, but I truly am happy you won’t be around these parts anymore.

          Moderation isn’t needed except for extreme cases (posting malware/virus, pedo stuff and so on). Certainly not to appease the safe space needs for a thin-skinned like you. Good riddance!

          1. Relax buddy….You are misunderstanding me. I didn’t mean to offend/annoy you.

            I know you are a pretty decent forum member out here.

            I brought this issue for John to read, as I wanted to let him know about this.

            I don’t have any personal issues, but JOHN has been deliberately ignoring my suggestions, Emails, and other comments.

          2. Why are you being so rude/harsh to me ? Like I said before, my comment was just targeted towards John, and I didn’t mean any disrespect to you or any other member, let alone John.

            If once in a while I rant, all HELL breaks loose, why ?

            I’m glad to know you would be HAPPY if I go away from here, because I myself don’t want to be a cancer/thorn to any website or forum.

            I agree with your point though, as why should the Admin/Mod pay attention to my suggestions, emails, but it was for the benefit of his own website, not for myself.

            I never asked for any CREDIT whatsoever.

            Have you EVER seen me trolling/abusing anyone over here ?? Nope. Check my ENTIRE disqus posting history.

            If you find any of my previous comments having such type of conversation, then please kindly let me know. I will accept my fault.

        3. You got it all wrong.

          I won’t leave this place, just because of the above article, but because JIOHN has never ever considered any of my comments/suggestions.

          I still respect him though.

      2. Not because it’s “your” website you gotta post anything you want. Do you see car website owners posting stuff about barbie dolls ? No. But i must say this is computer related, also might be gaming related hence it should be imho on this site.

        2 cents.

        1. this prototype isn’t for gamers though…it’s a totally different board not meant for the consumer geforce lineup.

          1. Well it looks like a gpu from what we’ve seen and titan cards aren’t for “gamers” and yet they’ve seen their fair share of articles on this site and people didn’t complain.

            Playing with words here..

        2. That makes no sense whatsoever, if a car website owner wants to post stuff about barbie dolls, he’s completely free to do so. If his audience doesn’t like it they can always move on.

          1. I believe the initial appeal of DSOG was pc gaming. I can be wrong but i certainly am sure it’s always been about gaming. I also do not believe John or whoever truly is running this site (paying $) is doing all this just for fun out of the blue to please the internet. He gets money from ads and whatever else. If he starts posting articles on stuff that his audience doesn’t come here for, you said it yourself, they’ll move on. Thats means less money etc and so on. We’ve seen this happen on many sites. So can he post anything he wants ? Yes he can, he’s free to do so but can he REALLY do it knowing the cost of his choice ? Don’t think so.

            My man, you can go rob a bank if you want, see what happens.

          1. Yes, I know that. Everyone is misunderstanding me over here though.

            I brought this issue for John to read, as I wanted to let him know about this.

            I don’t have any personal issues, but JOHN has been deliberately ignoring my suggestions, Emails, and other comments.

          2. And why exactly do you think that ‘JOHN’ should pay attention to your suggestions, emails and whatnot? Honestly, you’re so boring to read I wouldn’t be surprised if John has you blocked all over the place, and he’s just a nice guy that doesn’t want to hurt your little girl’s feelings.

          3. Why are you being so rude/harsh to me ? Like I said before, my comment was targeted towards John, and I didn’t mean any offense to you or any other member.

            If once in a while I rant, all HELL breaks loose, why ? I agree with your point though, as why should the Admin/Mod pay attention to my suggestions, emails, but it was for the benefit of his own website, not for myself.

          4. “Mommmmyyyy…. Brad Pit doesn’t love me ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ….. I’m going to go and suicide now”

          5. SOME FREE ADVICE. If you offer advice and it is ignored it is best to let it be. You tried that is what matters. Personally I like this site the way it is. You clearly do not. You made a calm and rational attempt to try and steer it in the direction you want. That said, John is obviously not down with it. It is his site and thusly your best bet is to back off. I like your passion, but if you keep going down this road you will end up no better than an SJW crying like beeyatch in search of a safe place because he did not get his way. Understand you do not always get what you want, but sometimes you get what ya need. You keep coming back so it can’t be all that bad ????

          6. John works in mysterious ways.

            I still have no idea what his opinions on anything are, and frankly, after the politicized perpetual trashfire that sites like PCGamer and RPS have become, I much prefer it this way.

    2. Oh man stop being ridiculos, this site isn’t a mess at all, and you are free to visit other sites, as John is free to ignore your suggestions and post whatever he wants

    3. We’ve talked countless times about your suggestions (and I’ve responded to all of your messages). And to be honest, I tried to politely explain things in both my comments and emails. We appreciate your suggestions and we always take a good look at them. Most of them are not worthy reporting IMO (IN MY OPINION). For other stories, like the AMD driver, we did share the news and credited you. We have six more reviewers who can also post News and none of them posted anything. That should tell you something. And sometimes enough is enough man. If you don’t like how we run this site, you are free to leave.

      1. As far as I can observe, this guy is a definite glory hound and such motive is very easily attributable to most of his actions. His concern is admiration and appreciation from everyone else who reads and posts on this site, easily outlined by the fact that he said he’d stop visiting this site simply because he feels “no one else likes him”. Perhaps an emotional support forum would better suit him?

      2. yes many of use don’t like your website, because you post like a JERK, and most of articles are worthless to give even a read.

    1. If you’re ok with the blower fan on the FE card Nvidia has had them in stock for a while on their store for $400.

      1. I’ve always been a fan of the “Reference” model blower-style cooler GPUs.

        It pushes away the hot air from the rear end/blows it out of the back, depending on the ATX cabinet (exhausted outside of the chassis).

        I’ve used few REFERENCE Model GPUs before, as my old cabinet was very small, and it had limited room for the PSU cables, poor airflow, and a custom Model GPU used to heat up the motherboard and other components.

        So I went for a simple blower fan GPU.

        1. Blower coolers are good for that. I’m probably biased because I had a blower cooler on a GTX 470 that was pretty loud.

        2. You said to consider a message you posted an hour ago your last presence here, yet your presence still persists

          1. Have patience.

            I will GO once I get a proper response from JOHN….But, I can now see the trend over here, as evident from all the troll replies.

            99% peeps want me to leave, and don’t like my presence over here, so be it.

            I knew it, and I was waiting for this moment though, so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

          2. HAHAHA!

            I really could not care less whether or not you leave. It makes no difference to me one way or the other. I didn’t even read the conversation that got you irritated today. I just saw you saying you were going to leave the site, and because I see your posts on nearly every article daily, I didn’t believe you’d actually be leaving, so I said “See you tomorrow”. It’s not a particularly inflammatory statement as troll remarks go.

          3. From the drama behind your statement, I’d assume you were about to end your own life or leave your family behind, not simply cease to make posts on an online gaming forum. This is rich.

        3. I’ve always been a fan of the “Reference” model blower-style cooler GPU
          Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez .
          How can you like that terible cooling desing ? .???
          You enjou a jet engine in you pc ? ???
          And thermal throttling????

          I see you know nothing abou PC HW so what ever you say i laugh 😀

          1. oh look who just spoke….Tomas Sipos the not so almighty “hardware genius”. LAMO.

          2. I am not a genius . And you dont have to be one to know that reference cooling is garbage .
            Problem ?

  3. only buying another gtx “”80 when its 12gb and if its in the TI im waiting. im not buying a 11gb card

  4. Well in my opinion there is nothing wrong with posting tech stuff in a gaming web site just like posting gaming related news in a tech website, PC gaming and computer techs are inseparable! most of PC gaming enthusiasts are tech lovers and vice versa!

  5. “Leaked”….. lucky nVidia that people are talking about this new GPU instead something else. This leak was so lucky for them……..

  6. Deleted ALL my comments, as there was no point in taking this issue further, because neither John or any other member understood me. Just misunderstanding, nothing else.

    GOOD LUCK everyone, and take care !

    1. Disappointed to see you go over such a trivial issue. You brought some valuable knowledge to the often times autistic comment section. Hope you change your mind but at the end of the day, visiting this site is optional.

      1. Hello there,

        Thanks for your concern and kind words. It means a lot. I read all the comments here before, but I wasn’t sure what to reply back.

        Sorry for the delay.

        Anyways, thanks for reading.

        Sorry for all this mess. My bad. Best wishes.

    1. Yeah end ? What did you expet for me when the whole gaming industry is a fu.king joke . . . Oh lets talk like a srsly about EA Konami Nvidia. . . Its a joke not a di.k do t take it so hard .

  7. When Nvidia releases a consumer graphics card that is at the very least 45% faster than my overclocked 1080 Ti, then I might consider upgrading.
