NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 in September

According to our sources, NVIDIA will officially announce GeForce GTX 880 somewhere mid-September. NVIDIA is planning a big event for all major press members from around the world. Prepare for boring Maxwell architecture presentation, live streaming, new hardware and smiling Jen-Hsun explaining why you should buy GSYNC monitor and SHIELD tablet.

Of course this live event will only be a paper launch. Cards are expected to hit stores shortly after (late September).

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 certified

GeForce GTX 880 has recently visited a certification office. Graphics cards are sent for validation in the very end of development process. It usually means that the card is ready, and it’s only a matter of weeks before it is available. Please note, it does not mean that AIBs have their cards ready, it only means that the reference board has been validated. PG401 is a reference board for GM204-400, aka GTX 880.



NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880, 4GB and 256b interface

We also got a word about the specs. It is yet unknown how many CUDA cores will 880 have (thus we are not sharing any numbers this time), but we were told that 256b interface is a fact. GeForce GTX 880 will most likely be released with 4GB GDDR5 memory on board. However, judging for the leaked pictures, we should also expect 8GB models. The only question is, who needs 8GB 256b card?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 might be cheap(er)

GeForce GTX 880 might not be the fastest card out there, but it will not hurt your wallet — $400 – $450 is expected MSRP. Of course it is yet too soon to confirm the price, but it is unlikely that GTX 880 will cost $500.

From manufacturers perspective, GeForce GTX 880 is using very similar board design to GTX 770. GeForce GTX 880 is of course 780 successor, but it has more similarities to GTX 770 than GTX 780.
The difference between GTX 880 and GTX 770 boards is cosmetic. Thus, GM204 is basically a GK104 replacement. However, just because it’s a mid-range GPU replacement, It does not mean it will be slower than some GK110 cards. We do not know how fast GTX 880 is going to be, but it’s safe to assume it will sit above 780 and maybe even 780 Ti.

Saw this on reddit. I sometimes wish I had went Nividia, but I'm pretty happy with AMD. They aint let me down yet.

I can't judge AMD GPU's yet, but my 650Ti Boost has kept me surprised with it's performance. I will probably have to wait a year or two on the 880, but soon I will be getting a 770.

Just built my new pc last week 780ti might sell it when I buy the new 800 series gpu.

It wont be a 780 replacement this seems like a skip gen for them until they can get real maxwell out. This will be a replacement for 6-- cards and it could be promising with its low price but as it looks the r9 290 is still better buy as they are $370 or so for a new one and at release these will be around $500

Your 780ti is safe a for a few gens as there's no way a 880 will be faster looking at its spec sheet so far

September 2014 seems abit soon as they have would announced it by now if it was going to be released in September but I maybe wrong. I bet this new 880 will probably be an in between of the 780 and 780 ti and there have been rumors saying it will have 30% better performance over the 780 ti. (I'm presuming this is on the 20nm version however 30% does seem maybe abit too much).

For the 28nm version of the 800 series they will be released by November (in time for Christmas) unless there is some kind of delay which is possible since they have had some issues then we should see the 20nm versions of the 800 series in early 2015. Obviously this is just me guessing but it would make sense and it will be interesting to see when Broadwell is released as early next year maybe the time to build a PC. I guess time will tell ...

Did they release a price for these besides CRAZY expensive? I wonder if they'll be the same price as their $3,000 USD GPU.

my post says $500 and the $3000 titan z is two titan blacks in one card
