When have we ever seen a new architecture released a year after the last. Even from GK104 to GM107 was 2 years.
To be fair GP104 launched late May, so Q4-16/Q1-17 for a successor doesn't sound so absurd on the same process.

In that case GP102 doesn't make sense either.
It's a wee bit early to start the hype train on Volta. Maybe next year, we can depart the station and start the journey.
People still have yet to buy their halo Titan X Pascal, give them some time to enjoy the purchase with peace of mind.
Yeah, about that....
I offered to install my 290X water cooled on my GF's rig, she has a FreeSync monitor. She said no. Haha.
Sometimes people end up with FreeSync because the monitor is on a damn good clearance price and it played no part in the buying decision.
At this point in time your opinion doesn't hold any water. The market says that Freesync and Gsync are niche markets and it doesn't influence buying decisions for mass market dGPUs.
A gamer who is aware, will notice Freesync & it's advantages and then, it makes sense to buy a Freesync GPU for a Freesync monitor.

The AIO with watertubes and big chunky radiator might have dissuaded her from installing that.. Fear of new/unknown i think.. In my experience, girls tend to reject any hand-me-down items, regardless of value.
That's what im saying though.. Majority of good monitors from LG/Samsung and others have Freesync inbuilt and don't cost more because of that.
Anyone with a predisposition towards Nvda may not buy AMD for Freesync; but then, they were not going to use faster than Nvidia AMD GPU in the first place, even when offered for free.. As what happened with your significant other.
An educated consumer will choose differently.
Majority of newer monitors and the ones in the pipeline contain Freesync as it has no price penalty. As railven mentioned above, his GF bought one without even knowing that..
Funny but true. Guess it can go both ways in the end.
I was looking for a 1440p 144hz monitor for a while. Pretty much ignoring the sync option as I didn't really want to get tied to either camp. Figured the 1440p 144hz was key specs for me and would be there either way.
Wound up picking up the Dell S2716DGR G-Sync model on the BestBuy special for $449.99 a couple days ago. Sale price washed away the G-Sync tax as far as I'm concerned. Fully adjustable stand was also one of the key points for me. My rig is on a portable cpu desk as I roll it around the house. Couple tweaks and it looks nice for a TN panel.
In the earlier Nvidia roadmaps Pascal was not even on the roadmap.. like it was Maxwell then Volta..Funny, Wccftech in story about Titan X based on Pascal claimed that Nvidia will have a Titan refresh with full Pascal chip, and HBM 2. If truth is somewhere in between, should i possibly assume that Volta is but merely tweaked Pascal, which itself is but tweaked Maxwell. Not necessarily a bad thing, but wonder how great the support for DX12 would be. I'd wager other than that, and the price, such a card would be peachy.
gets 16 nm treatment? Was anyone thinking it will be 22 nm or what?
