Nvidia GTX 1180 release date will be "a long time from now"

Nvidia’s CEO Jenson Huang has hinted at the launch date of the GTX 1180 and next generation GeForce graphics cards at a pre-Computex event. The news straight from the Nvidia CEO is that the long-awaited GeForce graphics cards won’t launch for “a long time from now”.

At a GeForce event, Huang stamped out any rumblings of GeForce graphics cards before Computex had even begun. Invitees were quick to grill Huang over the next-generation GPUs within the Q&A session at the end of the GeForce event in Taipei, but largely the answer was the same as always - Pascal is still the best GPU for gamers on the market for the foreseeable future.

Tired of waiting? Here are the best Nvidia graphics cards on the market.

That news doesn’t quite stack up with recent rumours of the company prepping the Nvidia GTX 1180 for launch in August, and especially doesn’t align with board partners and OEMs receiving shipments for launch in July, as some have suggested. Rumours had been heating up for a Q3 launch of Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs, but Huang’s comments have thrown some doubt onto the expected window.

Specifically, Huang’s response came amidst GeForce event attendees requesting a hint as to the release schedule of the next-generation of graphics cards. Huang’s response was that the release wouldn’t be for “a long time from now” and that those attending would be invited to the launch event when it happened.
