With Nvidia rapidly burning through its Pascal graphics card lineup, consumers are already looking forward to the next GPU generation from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

The only expected graphics cards in the Pascal lineup which haven’t launched yet are the GeForce GTX 1050, GTX 1050 Ti, and GTX 1080 Ti.<\/p>\n

With AMD launching Vega early next year and Nvidia’s Volta GPUs only due in 2018, the company is expected to launch a refresh <\/a><\/strong>of its Pascal architecture next year in order to compete with AMD’s Vega GPUs.<\/p>\n

Pascal Refresh<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nvidia’s Pascal refresh could\u00a0involve one of two possibilities.<\/p>\n

The first is that Nvidia takes a conservative approach and simply boosts the clock speed of its existing 16nm GPU lineup, while adding improved memory to some cards.<\/p>\n

The other possibility is a further shrink to a 14nm FinFet manufacturing process, the same used by AMD’s Radeon RX Series graphics cards.<\/p>\n

While the existing performance difference between 16nm and 14nm is debatable, Nvidia may see further performance improvements by using a 14nm manufacturing process for its Pascal refresh.<\/p>\n

GeForce 20 Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n

German hardware website 3DCenter <\/a><\/strong>has created a prediction chart outlining the expected specifications of Nvidia’s\u00a0GeForce 20 Series.<\/p>\n

The speculative hardware improvements involve conservative changes, such as clock speed increases, graphics card re-branding, and memory upgrades.<\/p>\n

The naming scheme of Nvidia’s refreshed Pascal lineup\u00a0is currently unknown, but it is expected to be either GeForce 11<\/strong> or GeForce 20<\/strong>, the latter being the more likely due to its similarities with the Quadro GPU range.<\/p>\n

The GeForce 2000 Series predictions by 3DCenter outline a relatively small increase in performance with a universal price reduction across the GPU lineup.<\/p>\n

If your current graphics card can hold out until the Pascal refresh next year, it is highly recommended that you wait for GeForce 20 before upgrading your pre-Pascal GPU.<\/p>\n
