When will we see the enthusiast Maxwell GTX 8xx series GPU's on retail shelves?

The GTX 880 is said to be more than twice as fast as the Kepler architecture and consumes even less power.

It is even faster than the Titan black.

No dates have been set yet, but possibly in December or early 2015.

Actually, just 1 monkey on 1 typewriter, given an infinite amount of time, would eventually print out the entire library of congress. That's how infinity works; the extra monkeys are superfluous.

Ooooh...

Well there's just one little problem: The monkey would die of old age.

Not confirmed and if dates are out (official and rumoured), They are always subject to change. It is worth the wait.

"The GTX 880 is said to be more than twice as fast as the Kepler architecture and consumes even less power."

This should be true, it is projected to be able to suffice 4k gaming much better and be much more power efficient, no current specs are indicated that this is 100% true, though The first of Maxwell has indicated so.

But it should be much faster than the Titan Black, and make the current Titan line obsolete.

Nvidia will have to release a new generation of Titan cards to keep the enthusiast+ GPU market alive.

Also, I read in MAXIMUM PC magazine that the next generation of chipsets from both AMD and Intel will feature PCI express 4.0, which has a data bandwidth of 64gb/s to accomodate the massive throughput of the next-gen GPU's.

they may not even be a new titan, may be called something completely new, as they don't tend to reuse the same word 'titan' for many GPU's.

They'll probably drop the Titan name, imo. It always struck me as kind of a special "one generation" thing. I could be wrong, but we'll have to wait and see.

If they do have PCI-E 4.0, it will likely be a marketing gimmick. PCI-E 3.0 isn't close to saturated yet. If Nvidia actually saturated PCI-E 3.0 so much that they used 4.0, AMD would not sell a single card for the entire PS4 life cycle. I kind of doubt something that big will happen, considering the Maxwell laptop GPUs are a bigger upgrade than usual (30% increase in performance rather than the typical 20%), but nowhere near 2x the performance of Kepler.

The volta gpu architecture with stacked dram will have over 1 terabyte per second of memory transfer.

So? That's several years off, not related to the GTX 880.
