Regarding the GP102 rumors, I'm not sure what to make of them.

In the Kepler generation there were four Big Kepler GK110 consumer cards, not counting the dual GPU Titan-Z

Those cards were:

-GTX Titan (February 2013)
-GTX 780 (April 2013)
-GTX 780 Ti (November 2013)
-GTX Titan Black (February 2014)

Assuming GP102 cards are coming sometime between fall 2016 and spring 2017, I don't think that means we won't eventually see more a powerful consumer GP100 card.

Anyone disagree?

Based on what we know of both GP100 and GP102 a GP100 GeForce would not be more powerful than a GP102 GeForce.

Yeah agreed. GP100 doesn't make sense.
What you might get though is a GP102 with GDDR5X memory that's about 50% larger than GP104 (~480mm² as speculated here) coming 2017 and the ~600mm² HBM2 thing left for Volta 2019.
If we get a ~600mm² Geforce on 16nm finFET in 2017 I'll be pretty chuffed.

GP102 is 2016, Volta is 2017/2018.
At this point I don't expect a 600mm^2 gaming Pascal chip. I think we'll move from GP10x straight to GV10x.

Do you think we'll see Vega vs GP102 in 2016?

If the GTX 1080 FE is $699 I'm afraid to see what the 1080Ti will be priced at

I hope so because otherwise I'm not expecting anything on GP102 but the $1000 Titan.

$800-900

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 to feature 6GB 192-bit memory?
Hardly thread worthy so I'll leave it here. I guess it's possible that GP106 will have 192 bit memory bus although I'd say that going with 128 bit GDDR5X would be a better choice in the long term.

The latest GP106 rumour is that it launches on 7th July.

Interesting video on Pascal and Maxwell that shows that Nvidia implemented tiled based rasterization starting with Maxwell. This explains how Maxwell was able to make such a large improvement on Kepler with regards to efficiency.

Yeah I even made a thread. They kept it hidden for over 2 years! It wasn't just the larger L2 cache, color compression and improved shader utilization after all.
