Report: Next Gen GeForce and Radeon GPUs Delayed to Q4

It seems that we might only see the GTX 700 and HD 8000 Series appear in Q4 2013

Sweclockers has suggested that the next generation of AMD and Nvidia GPUs will be delayed all the way until Q4 2013. According to their source, the GPUs won't show up until as late as October 2013. This means that the current GTX 600 series and HD 7000 series will be around for a little longer, possibly expanding their lifespan by up to two years before replacement.

Regardless, we will be seeing new graphics cards soon. There are rumors of Nvidia's GeForce Titan, which might be released near the end of this month.

Moreover, there are rumors that AMD will also soon launch an official Radeon HD 7990. While there have been 7990s around for a while, none of them are official yet, just fabrications from different manufacturers.

Seems to me they're planning to launch alongside the next-gen consoles. My guess would be that they're hoping to sell the cards by saying that they'll be able to play next-gen multiplatform titles on the highest settings. Afterall, next-gen consoles are expected to greatly push the graphical quality up for PC's as well, since the lowest bar (consoles) will be set higher. There aren't any titles right now that can really push the 7970 and 680 anyways, except for maybe Crysis 3, so PC gamers can afford to wait.

NinjawithagunGood news for me. That just means I can squeeze out some more life out of my three GTX680s! I was dreading the financial impact of having to buy three GTX780s or Titans or whatever the next generation nVidia cards are going to be called. I can now relax and enjoy my cards for another 8+ months...yes!

This has to be a troll. Most of us could not afford three 680s. Probably a decent portion of us would be happy to be able to afford one of them. I'm pretty sure your "three 680s" will keep you going for quite a while.

alidanhorrific mouse lag kills that game for me.

Did you defragment your mouse and check the mouse pad for viruses?
