Actually, it was assumed that NVIDIA would give a look at the new graphics card generation at the in-house GTC (GPU Technology Conference). But COVID-19 has thwarted the matter.
NVIDIA had originally planned to introduce new products and technologies at the GTC in San Jose in late March. However, the in-house exhibition had to be canceled due to the corona pandemic and was to be replaced by an online event.
However, this was also canceled shortly afterwards, instead announcements in news form should follow. But this does not turn out, as NVIDIA boss Jensen Huang now announced:
"We have exciting products and news that we want to share with you. But this is simply not the right time. Our employees, partners, the media and analysts who follow us, as well as our customers all over the world, can count on it focus on protecting themselves and slowing the spread of the virus (coronavirus). "
It is a great shame, as many had hoped that there would be new information on the upcoming ampere graphics card generation, which, as the powerful successor to the current RTX graphics cards, will probably be launched this year.
How things will continue now remains open, especially since the global pandemic can certainly have a major impact on production. Too bad, because the tension is high: Rumor has it that the ampere generation should deliver up to 40 percent more power than the current gaming flagship RTX 2080 Ti.
