NVIDIA to postpone new product announcements due to coronavirus pandemic
NVIDIA has delayed its GTC 2020 new product announcements, citing the coronavirus pandemic and prioritizing the safety of its employees and customers.
California-based NVIDIA has decided to postpone its new product presentations at GTC 2020. This is likely driven by fears of low interest in such news. It's hardly a surprise: right now, every media outlet is covering the COVID-19 pandemic and probably won't focus on even a flagship graphics card announcement. The same goes for regular users and gamers, who are currently more concerned with safety than high-tech gadgets.
We have interesting products and news we want to share with you. But now is not the right time. We're not going to share GTC news yet. This way, our employees, partners, media, analysts, and customers worldwide can focus on staying safe and reducing the virus's spread.
It seems we won't be learning the true technical specs of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards anytime soon. However, there's no point blaming NVIDIA; they need healthy, engaged customers who can absorb new information and then buy their products.
Let's hope researchers are right and the epidemic starts to recede by early or mid-summer, allowing all canceled presentations and events to find new dates.
