Well here it is, the first listing for NVIDIA's next-generation GeForce GTX 1180 graphics card, which comes in the form of the GeForce GTX 1180 ASUS ROG Strix. The listing does give us some information on the card as well. First off the card is based off the "GT104" silicon, which means it is part of the "Turing" architecture. So it seems like NVIDIA is forking its new architectures separating chips that feature DPFP (double-precision floating point) cores and Tensor cores, and those that lack both. So "Turning" would be a fork of "Volta" that lacks DPFP CUDA cores and Tensor cores as well as makes use of the cheaper GDDR6 memory.

DigiTimes is reporting that there will be a decrease in graphics card pricing for July. This decrease seems to be a way for suppliers to reduce inventory of stockpiled graphics cards that were expected to be sold in continued demand from cryptocurrency miners and gamers. DigiTimes, citing "sources from the upstream supply chain" says that we can expect a 20% price drop for graphics cards. Also semiconductor manufacturer TSMC and its partners are expecting revenue estimates to be lower than previously-projected values, as demand for graphics and ASIC chips is further reduced.

A photo of an NVIDIA prototype graphics card was posted on Reddit by user "dustinbrooks" who said it was "tested by a buddy of his that works for a company that tests NVIDIA boards". For those skeptics out there the card is clearly made by NVIDIA as indicated by the markings near the PCI-Express x16 slot connector. We can also see three 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors and a huge VRM with four cooling fans.

The guys over at PCPer have disassembled the brand new ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ, which is a 27-inch, 4K, 144 Hz, G-SYNC HDR monitor that costs $1999. Upon inspection they found that the G-SYNC module inside is a newer one compared to the one that is used in 1st generation G-SYNC displays (which does not support 4K / 144 Hz / HDR). This module is powered by an Altera-made FPGA with the model Arria 10 GX 480.

A new report from DigiTimes sites an interview of Power Logic chairman Hsu Wen-Feng. Power Logic is a top-tier manufacturer of the cooling fans you find on many graphics cards. Feng has stated that his company expects cooling fan sales to go through the roof starting in Q3 2018 because of next-generation GPUs launching around that time.

In this episode of our weekly tech podcast we talk about our 3 reviews this week, some controversy at Computex, AMD vs Intel, E3 2018, and more!

According to reports NVIDIA has briefed its all-in-card (AIC) partners about its upcoming GeForce product family, which is codenamed "Turing" and will either be called the GeForce 11-series, or GeForce 20-series.

In this episode of our weekly tech podcast we talk about reviews of the Corsair Crystal Series 280X RGB Case, Ballistix Tracer RGB Memory, and all of the awesome news coming out of Computex 2018!

I'm sure many of you read our report yesterday on how NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang when asked about a Volta-based GeForce Card said “It’ll be a long time from now”. Obviously for all of us gamers out there that was a little disappointing. Well a new report coming from Anthony Garreffa of TweakTown is saying that we will see a next-generation GeForce GTX 1180 launching on July 30th!

Another editor asked for a small hint and Huang answered, "Do not worry, I will invite you", followed by "It'll be a long time from now". Now this question was specific on Volta so it does not count out a Pascal refresh, but it you were looking for a GeForce announcement at Computex it is likely not happening.
