NVIDIA will not launch Volta for gaming at the moment or a rehash of Pascal, because according to its CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, it is impossible to improve the Pascal architecture, but it will launch something soon.

The upcoming release of the AMD RX Vega should accelerate NVIDIA's plans to avoid being passed by the competing company. The RX Vega 64 can only handle the NVIDIA GTX 1080 and it is for this reason that the green company would have gone from burning a great architecture such as Volta, delaying the gaming versions of these graphics cards. Apparently NVIDIA will not launch anything with Volta this year, but it is not ruled out that it may launch a surprise.

CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has wanted to deny that they are going to launch anything from Volta this year, but that they are working on new toys that will surely make gaming fans excited and also assures that they have new technology, which It is very exciting and interesting, but has not revealed any other information about it. We might think that it is a rehash of NVIDIA Pascal, the most powerful graphics cards on the market today, but nothing of that, by Jen-Hsun Huang has said to launch something new, but that the Pascals are simply unbeatable, so this would rule out a simple rehash.

He has simply stressed that everyone is eager to play Call of Duty or Destiny 2 in the best possible quality, therefore they should get a Pascal for their machine. No further data has been given, but among NVIDIA's ideas is expanding the GeForce Experience utility to China, where it is currently unusable. NVIDIA seems to be clear that Volta is a great architecture and that launching it on the market would be to burn an ideal low to compete with Vega 2 or perhaps with AMD's Navi, so for now, Volta will be only for the professional segment.
