Gamers shouldn’t expect a Volta-based GeForce until the end of 2017 or early 2018: according to NVIDIA, these cards are too costly to produce for consumers at the moment. The company doesn’t seem to be in any rush to get them out, actually, based on Jensen Huang’s praise of Pascal, who called the architecture “just unbeatable.” Some are interpreting this as Vega being a non-threat, so there’s no need for Volta yet.
…company boss Jensen Huang did put to rest any rumors that Volta might arrive in the gaming scene before the end of the year. That’s not going to happen. “Volta for gaming, we haven’t announced anything. And all I can say is that our pipeline is filled with some exciting new toys for the gamers, and we have some really exciting new technology to offer them in the pipeline. But for the holiday season for the foreseeable future, I think Pascal is just unbeatable,” Huang stated during a recent earnings call.
