Nvidia’s GTX 1180 GPU will be detailed at the Hot Chips symposium on August 20

It looks like Nvidia’s next-generation graphics card, whether GTX 1180 or GTX 2080, will at least be announced by August 20, when the Hot Chips Symposium rolls around. The program has now been released for the event with all the big names in attendance, and the talk that’s caught our attention is the one by Stuart Oberman titled: ‘NVIDIA’s Next Generation Mainstream GPU’ in the Graphics Solution slot on the Monday.

The title has obviously been kept deliberately vague so we don’t get any early hints as to what the new gaming-focused Nvidia graphics cards are called, or what architecture they’re going to be powered by.

Check out all the rumours, news, and guesswork about Nvidia’s GTX 1180.

Given that Oberman’s Hot Chips talk will likely go into some detail about the new GeForce GPU it seems pretty likely that it will either be announced before then, or we might possibly even see them released by August 20. We’ve heard that Gamescom will be a big deal for Nvidia, and that falls just a day later...

Hot Chips issued a press release yesterday which details the great and the good of PC gaming technology representing at the event and Videocardz  picked up the details of the talk.
