According to my sources and own analysis of the market, NVIDIA was going to launch its next-gen Ampere GPU architecture at GTC 2020. It most likely would've had some higher-end Quadro RTX offerings, and then the GeForce RTX 3000 series later this year -- the same game plan for its Turing launch in 2018, where the Turing-based Quadro RTX graphics cards launched before the GeForce RTX graphics cards.

I can see NVIDIA teasing the new Ampere GPU architecture in June-July in Quadro RTX form, before fully unveiling its new GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards shortly after that.

We should see a full ramp up through and into September 2020, just in time
