There has been speculation that Nvidia plans to double the memory sizes of its new generation of 11 series graphics cards, somewhat unlikely since it would deliver a replacement for the GeForce GTX 1060 with 12GB of memory, an absurdly excessive amount for a card. mid-range, and that would only serve to make next-generation graphics cards more expensive.

Nvidia should announce its new GeForce GTX 11 sometime in late summer, with its in-store availability most likely for the third quarter of the year. The new architecture is rumored to be called Turing, and it will come with Micron's GDDR6 memories and the 12nm TSMC manufacturing process used with Volta.

What do you expect from the new GeForce GTX 1160? When do you think it will finally hit the market?
