Ampere is the next-gen upcoming graphics cards series from NVIDIA. Lot of rumors have been circulating surrounding the release date and announcement of Ampere.
Now, NVIDIA has just confirmed that CEO Jensen Huang would be hosting a keynote on May 14th, as announced by the company on its official blog/website. The first line of text reads, “GET AMPED”, so does this mean we might get to hear more about Ampere GPUs on MAY 14th ?
We don’t have the answer for that now, but this announcement does give us a hint on the upcoming planned flagship products from NVIDIA. Though, “AI, high performance computing, data science, autonomous machines, healthcare and graphics” topics are actually being mentioned by NVIDIA, but I’m going to assume “Graphics” refers to consumer-based GPUs.
Ampere cards are being highly anticipated to get a release date later this year. Let’s hope Jensen Huang sheds some light on next-gen GAMING GPUs as well.
NVIDIA:
Get Amped for Latest Platform Breakthroughs in AI, Deep Learning, Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics and Professional Graphics
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 24, 2020 — NVIDIA will release its GTC 2020 keynote address, featuring founder and CEO Jensen Huang, on YouTube on May 14, at 6 a.m. Pacific time.
Huang will highlight the company’s latest innovations in AI, high performance computing, data science, autonomous machines, healthcare and graphics during the recorded keynote. Participants will be able to view the keynote on demand at www.youtube.com/nvidia.
Originally scheduled for March 23, the GTC 2020 keynote was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. NVIDIA moved the conference online, where the GTC Digital event has attracted more than 45,000 registered attendees who have participated in 300 recorded talks and dozens of instructor-led sessions.

Pretty sure Nvidia will release another GPU series in 2022, so I’ll wait for that.
buy 3080ti then sell it when 4080ti comes out, repeat the process, ez strategy.
This is the correct answer and what I have been doing for a while. The only exception has been this Gen, I skipped it.
I tell myself skip this gen every gen but i jump on bandwagon at the end.
This is the ideal line of updates,i’m usually one gen or two behind the next new thing when it comes to videocards, but at least i get cards cheap enough for the upgrade (which is huge, not to mention the number of fresh games i get to play with the adquisition).
I still remember being amazed when i jumped from a 8600GT to a 960 GTX 4gb (my biggest jump). Almost a decade of games to get into!
why wait for 2022 though ?? the trend is going to be the same. which card are u currently using ?
Because as time progresses, games will become more and more system demanding. The second year of a console generation is when the graphics shine IMO. Just think about it, in 2008 we had:
Call Of Duty World At War
Fallout 3
GTA 4
And in 2015 we had:
Batman Arkham Knight
Star Wars Battlefront
The Witcher 3
All of these games had amazing graphics. I’ve been with my GTX 970 since 2016 (potato, I know) and I can’t afford to buy a new GPU every 2 years
get amped ? Yeah why not, lol ! I just hope nvidia makes an interesting announcement about gaming cards
Get AMPERE’D more like !
haha ! u nailed it.
Not as hard as we’re going to get nailed by the cost of those extra RT cores in this release.
Start spreadin’ the jelly on those anuses boys, because it’s-a-comin’ and it’s gonna be deep.
Get AMPERE’D more like !!
Hopefully next GPUs can use DLSS on every game without dev side implementation. Would be a game changer!
Really looking forward to the 3080 Ti and I hope it can replace the amazing 1080 Ti that I have had for a very long time and that is still solid. I feel like this will be the sweet spot in GPU tech and their new 1000 line and as good as that series was back in the day. All the tech etc just feels really right / lined up for it to be really good and what we all want.
Also mega massive congrats on writing the article Metal Messiah ?I++I? m/ 🙂 m/ , very cool Man!
Thanks Kai !
Thanks ! Okay, as much as I also want to upgrade my current RX 480 GPU, I’m just too worried by how NVIDIA is going to price these cards.
These won’t sell cheap though, at least not the flagship RTX models. Unless of course the company is forced to lower prices if it faces stiff competition from AMD’s BIG NAVI GPUs.
Sorry for TYPO errors…..My Internet connection is bugging me out…
You have a RX 480, Man… when you upgrade it is going to feel freaking amazing!
Well look at this way the 2060 – 2080 are priced really well and even the 1600s. Really to Me at least the Ti was really the only card over priced and you could easily blame that on the RTX stuff that most of us didn’t want even if we thought it was rad.
It’s really is hard to say, supposedly 7nm is not as expensive to fab so who knows, it is really hard to think the customer will be the one to benefit. I still think NAVI 2 will bring the prices down. I have a Gen1 NAVI RX 5500 XT for testing and it is way better than the RX 500 series. On the flip side in another test case an old 970 has been better than all of those cards(for My engine). Still considering the tests I did with Gen1 NAVI at a low end should almost seem like a given that NAVI 2 with ray tracing etc will be pretty solid and way better. In short I don’t think Nvidia can price their cards mega high even if I think they will be better.
Honestly it feels like if both GPUs come out around the same time all of us are going to be in the best position to upgrade and if anything this Gen I would think we will get the best prices since AMD is going to do something and from all the console talk from friends the new NAVIis are really nice!
Exciting times, I am juiced and can’t wait to see what happens! All good Man no worries LOL
RTX 2060-2080 priced really well?
Lol!
LOL! I paid $1017.00 CND for My MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X when it 1st released and now you can get a RTX 2080 Super for less and it is better, faster, has hardware ray tracing, DLSS, GDDR6, etc. On the low end you got the 2060 at $440 CND…
Ray tracing is almost moot on these cards as it is not powerful enough, GDDR6 is also moot as the bus width is lower than the 1080Ti’s and it has less framebuffer 8 vs 11. DLSS, sure it is great for the handful of games that support it.
In other words, no. It is not worth it and 2 years ago when the RTX line was released it was definitely not worth it.
But my dude, I am not saying how you should spend your money – go for that 3080Ti! At least you were smart enough to wait it out for the next gen of RTX cards.
Exactly what i thought. I’m canadian so i’m getting rekt when i buy computer parts. Jesus christ i pay like an extra 35%. Canadian dollard is trash.
lol

It’s time to steamroll nextgen consoles before their launch!
I don’t think GDC will show off the new RTX line. GDC has always been for industry and enterprise compute and AI. Fall 2020 for the GeForce event, if coronavirus doesn’t hurt 7nm yields.
Scratch this….
OK. As per some inside industry sources, while some of us do not expect Nvidia to discuss their future Geforce gaming products, we DO expect the company to discuss their plans for the professional graphics market/HPC.
IMO, Nvidia’s Volta V100 was announced in May 2017 and has been on the market for over two years.
My guess is that Nvidia has plans to reveal an Ampere-based replacement for its VOLTA series of graphics cards, hence this Nvidia’s “Amped” teaser reveal. Just my guess.
I hope you’re wrong but it sounds right.
I want full 4k 60 but Nvidia is not making it easy with their prices.
I’m expecting some good things in general from Ampere in terms of general performance. Possibly a 50% increase over Turing.
Good to see you writing articles Metal Messiah. You are one of the people that have brought us tech news for a long time now and a lot of us listen to you.
Thanks for your kind words 64K !
