Rumor: Nvidia Launching 700 Series in June
Maybe, just maybe, we might be seeing the GeForce 700 Series kick off well before the previous rumors.
Fudzilla is pushing around a rumor that Nvidia might be launching the GeForce 700 series dedicated graphics cards starting Computex 2013, which will run from the 4th through 8th of June.
It also appears that the cards would still be based on the 28 nm Kepler architecture, although perhaps a slightly revised version of such.
Earlier we heard of both AMD and Nvidia delaying the release of any new graphics cards, and therefore we are doubtful of the accuracy of this report. The latest rumors before the current point towards a Q4 2013 / Q1 2014 release.
That said, this could also point to the release of a cut-down GK110 chip, perhaps the release of the rumored Titan LE. Regardless, Computex 2013 is going to be an interesting event.
The rumor report reads, "They do want to address AMD’s aggressive bundle push and try to offer a more competitive product. Bear in mind that desktop sales still play an important role in Nvidia's financial statement. We don’t know much about the performance expectation but we do know that it is faster than what is out today."
The sound of two pennies going into my Nvidia piggy bank... Just 49998 to go... (it better not be more or team red will have my consideration again).
But if they do then AMD allso have to react, so maybe this is a good thing. What I am afraid is that we will get even more expensive GPU:s in near future...

Even every few months to max any game is a bit of an exaggeration
I know what you mean though, but when 4k comes around it might be back to video cards seeming outdated more rapidly than in the past few years, until it kind of plateaus again so I wouldn't say it's over. I just hope we don't end up with games that mostly look like next-gen console games, just <50% better and in 4k. I'm sure there's going to be some that push the tech to it's limits early on, I just hope to see it more aside from indie developers. Thankfully we have the modding community, but it's gotten to a point where modders make PC games look like what they should have to begin with(or better), not to mention fan-made patches for bug fixes after 2+ patches from the developer.
