Nvidia counts down to Geforce news

Nvidia has traditionally been extremely tight-lipped in the run-up to the launch of the next generation of graphics cards in the Geforce 3000 series, based on the “Ampere” architecture. The latest bids regarding the launch of the cards place the launch date in September, but already now the company is taking to Twitter in an attempt to create hype.

With the hashtag #ultimatecountdown and a short video depicting a cosmic explosion of some kind, the Geforce division takes to Twitter, where the cover image has also been changed to refer to the said countdown. The text “21 days. 21 years.” also glimpses it, which refers to 31 August 1999, the date when Geforce 256 was originally introduced.

The countdown is most likely not a countdown to the launch of a new version of the Geforce 256, which was manufactured by TSMC with a transistor size of 220 nanometers. It is more likely that a preliminary introduction of the Geforce RTX 3000 series, where performance increases of up to 50 percent are promised, will take place.

The regular launch of the circuits is said to be a repeat of its predecessor RTX 2000 and its launch schedule. First out, the top cards are expected to be, followed by the equivalent of today’s RTX 2070, with a 2060 sequel a few more months later.
