It appears that the Taiwanese media outlet “DigiTimes” has claimed that both AMD and NVIDIA are rumored and expected to launch their next-generation GPUs this coming September.
According to DigiTimes:
“” With AMD and Nvidia set to launch their next-generation GPUs in September, graphics cards vendors are expected to cut prices for older-generation products, stimulating demand further in third-quarter 2020 “”
Even though they haven’t mentioned the word “gaming GPUs’, the only next-generation GPU which Nvidia is going to unveil is the Ampere “Geforce” Gaming series. They have already announced the Ampere “Tensor Core” architecture lineup.
When it comes to AMD, their next-generation GPU could be the CDNA-based “Arcturus” card, aka the Radeon Instinct MI100 accelerator. This should compete with the recently announced NVIDIA A100 accelerator in compute/HPC/AI tasks.
AMD previously promised to launch “Big Navi” later this year, but no exact dates were given. But according to this news, we might also see “Gaming” cards land sooner than expected.
According to Digitimes both Nvidia and AMD are going to “launch” their next-gen cards, which could also possibly mean a product “availability“. It is possible that both the red and green camps are going to announce and “launch” these products soon.
So yeah, we can expect next-gen gaming cards to hit the shelves. I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens, since the launch timeline is similar to and matches the previous launch/announcement dates.
NVIDIA released the GeForce RTX 20 series in September 2018, and after that the RTX 20 SUPER series were released in July 2019. On the other hand, AMD has not released any “major” graphics card in almost 9-10 months.

Man, new GPUs right before new consoles. Going to make buying either a tougher decision. Probably will go with the PS5 as my PC is still pretty great and I’ll want to play those new exclusives (assuming they do launch there) but I guess will see what the PC side shows up with first.
I rarely enjoy those Sony exclusives though. I really disliked The last of Us for example, I tried so many times to get into that game but just couldn’t. Days gone was a complete and utter let down I was so hyped for that game. God of War bored me after a few hours. etc. etc.
However, Ghost of Tsushima looks like my sort of game so fingers crossed it doesn’t follow the usual Sony formula. You know long cut scenes bit of gameplay, quick time events repeat etc.
I’m not sure I agree about the “Sony formula” comment, but I’m certainly looking forward to this one also.
Seems like it will be mostly gameplay, but these guys (these devs in particular) do like throwing some story in, but generally focus on gameplay.
The Ascent from the Xbox trailer looks great. Not sure how couch coop works on Steam though. Man, do i really need to get the Xbox just to play with 3 friends locally? (with their own customized characters with shared progression)
Often times, the Steam version is missing couch co-op, so I would wait for confirmation there.
Lots of games are getting crossplay these days, so maybe you’ll get lucky.
I’m excited for AMD. not interested in the green camp since I know they are going to charge a premium for their cards, just like RTX. But i hope this next navi is pretty fast to compete with Nvidia’s offerings.
With actual competition they may not be able to charge much of a premium this time.
provided AMD releases a more powerful rdna2 gpu which can easily beat nvidia.
but I hope u are correct.
Nice, though I’ll probably need to upgrade my cpu first. What’s the Zen 3 eta last anyone heard?
My best lead so far is the “rescheduled” Computex tech show in Taipei, which has now been set for September 28-30 this year.
I expect them to announce/launch ZEN 3 at Computex, but nothing is set in stone. Due to this whole COVID-19 pandemic/chaos, things might get delayed further.
But if everything goes well, and this “coronavirus” is somehow under control, then we can expect next-gen Hardware to arrive later this year.
**fingers crossed**
Thank you!
Well seeing as these new consoles beat anything AMD has for the desktop PC they should be releasing some good hardware for a change. As for Nvidia no doubt they’ll be trying to rip off their customers as usual.
that’s why they call them NGreedia.
only on the high end. on the mid range segment nvidia is quite competitive price wise but they did not really chase those value/budget king crown. they put some pressure causing AMD to drop price but then they stop.
interesting….I’m hyped.
If they launch at roughly(within one month) the same time, after a month and one of the brands is gonna have to cut prices.
it depends. just because you launch your GPU first then you need to cut your price because of the competition release theirs later. back in 2015 nvidia successfully do the reversed. they launch first (980Ti) and yet later on it is AMD that have to rethink their price strategy for Fury X.
nvidia can be ruthless once they enter competitive mode. and AMD is well aware about that. that’s why for more recent release (apart from 5700XT) AMD try not too aggressive with their launch.
I wouldn’t count on that.
AMD GPU’s…haha bro xD tell us a new joke. But i am afraid greedy Nvidia will increase the prices again.
Whoever launches their new cards in time for Cyberpunk 2077 is getting my money.
hope AMD offers a true high end competitive product. it has been too long.
Don’t hold your breath for anyone giving the run to the xx80 and Ti cards.
By the way, by AMD’s next-gen cards I meant specifically the “Big NAVI” aka AMD RDNA2 based Radeon RX cards for “Gaming”.

Xbox = roughly $500 and a single GPU for PC = $800
Yupe. That’s fair… lol
The next gen consoles will still have better GPUs than PC
