[Qazteck]

Hey guys, Rob here
Just wondering do any of you have an idea of when the next gen NVIDIA cards are going to be released? Because I don't want to go and buy a 580 and see that in next couple of months a new card being released.
Thanks for your time

Short answer - no.

Apparently it is in production and may be seen at the end of this quarter, but nobody knows.Source

Nvidia had nothing to show at CES and the low end desktop cards are supposed be released first.

From what I've read the low end desktop, laptop and integrated chips are due in a few months. The midrange after that and the high end cards more toward the end of the year.

Anandtech
NVIDIA sent Xbit a clarification that puts the brakes on things.

"Although we will have early silicon this year, Kepler-based products are actually scheduled to go into production in 2012. We wanted to clarify this so people wouldn’t expect product to be available this year,"

So technically Kepler GPUs would still ship to partners this year, but "early silicon" normally signifies GPUs that aren't quite production worthy yet. In any case finished video cards definitely won't be out this year given NVIDIA's latest statement."

"Apparently, the company is on schedule to receive the early silicon of Kepler from its manufacturing partner later in 2011, but the commercial launch of the product is scheduled to occur only in 2012.

"Although we will have early silicon this year, Kepler-based products are actually scheduled to go into production in 2012. We wanted to clarify this so people wouldn’t expect product to be available this year," said Ken Brown, a spokesman for Nvidia, in an email statement."

Doesn't give any sort of source though.
Until then unless AMD decide to aggressively price their new cards I don't think it'll be a particularly good time to buy a card.

Would be amazing if the 7970 would be around £350 then NVIDIA Would have to release their cards

[Qazteck]

Also guys when Kepler is released any idea how long they will last before another next gen?

I think they simply don't have the stock yet to release.

I think this'll turn up when it turns up, believe me when I say graphics is a messy business

That is probably the case but what if they do and just want to delay it to get the most out of there 580

You don't sit on finished cards while your competitor has the market to themselves, that would be daft.

I disagree. Easy enough to read, but makes me think the OP has hiccups.
