NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti release is reportedly happening at the upcoming Game Developers' Conference (GDC) 2017.
New and powerful GPUs could be on their way as the official website of NVIDIA's GeForce is running a countdown timer to Feb. 28, a day after the kick-off of the aforementioned event. Aside from the countdown timer, a post that reads, "Ultimate GeForce" and "IT'S ALMOST TIME" appear on the page. However, the letters "T" and "I" in "TIME" are in bold, which is a strong indication that the company will finally unveil the long-rumored GTX 1080 Ti.
According to Tom's Hardware, NVIDIA faces a strong competition with AMD, a company that caught a strong wind. AMD is bound to launch Vega GPU in second quarter, but the company will tell gamers more about it on Capsaicin livestream, which will happen on the same day. Thus, this seems to be a head-on battle. AMD's livestream is at 10:30am, while NVIDIA's event is at 6:30pm PST.
However, NVIDIA is mum about the new hardware. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is not giving any hint on what to look forward in the forthcoming surprise from the Taiwan-based company. There are also some speculations that GTX 1080 Ti could be not something new. Gamers must anticipate the new hardware on Feb. 28.
GDC 2017 aims to educate game industry professionals on online multiplayer games, mobile, and next generation game technologies. The event will showcase new online games as well as tech devices, consoles, and accessories that enhance overall gaming experience. The event will take place in Moscone Conference Center in San Francisco, California from Feb. 27 to Mar. 3.
