Lenovo Rep Confirms GeForce GTX 11 Series up to GeForce GTX 1180 Due to Arrive by Q3 2018
A Lenovo representative has accidentally let slip the existence of Nvidia’s next-generation GeForce graphics cards. We know Nvidia has something in the pipeline of course, and soon at that, but the Lenovo rep mentioned the arrival of a certain GeForce GTX 11 series later this year.
Speaking to YouTuber ‘Brainbean’, the Lenovo representative was on hand to talk about the Lenovo Legion Cube Gaming PC at E3 2018. However, while talking about the capabilities of the gaming tower, they let slip that a GeForce GTX 1180 version was inbound shortly.
“As well as along with up to GTX 1060 at this time but, time to market with NVIDIA 11 series, up to 1180 down the road.” said Rex Stover, product manager for North America Lenovo Legion gaming hardware. “And up to 1060 at this time, of course, with the NVIDIA 11 series time to market later this fall, we would get those GPUs as well.”
This is the first time we’ve heard a hardware provider specifically name the upcoming GeForce Turing GPUs as the GeForce 11 Series. This suggests we’re going to be getting a GeForce GTX 1180 and GeForce GTX 1170 later this year.
If Lenovo is planning to bring to market its custom PCs equipped with GTX 11 Series GPUs in the fall, it stands to reason that we can expect Nvidia to launch the actual graphics cards a little sooner. This tallies up with the late Summer 2018 rumours we’ve been hearing lately.
