While it is already confirmed that Nvidia will be releasing their Pascal GPUs this year, there are scarce details on a specific roll-out date. However, recent speculations suggest that the company might release the new batch of graphics processors in April.

According to TechFrag, an alleged new roadmap detailing the schedule for the Nvidia Pascal GPU recently leaked online. In it, it is noted that the first batch of the Pascal-driven lineups, the Titan-grade GPUs based on GP100, is expected to be unveiled by April. Meanwhile, the downgrade version for the lineup will reportedly come almost a year after, in June 2017.

After the GP100 is unveiled, the GP104 series, rumored to be dubbed the GEForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, will be announced by June this year.

Kotaku Australia said that based on the schedule, it can be expected that the core products in the new Pascal lineup will grace at least two tech-focused events for this year. According to the industry follower, the alleged April launch of the GP100 series might have something to do with the upcoming GPU Technology Conference in April, where Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is said to deliver the keynote address.

As for the GP 104 series, the industry follower predicted that it might appear at this year's COMPUTEX summit, given the reported June arrival.

Nvidia is constantly hyping up its upcoming Pascal series of GPUs. According to earlier leaks, the new Pascal lineups feature the latest in GPU architecture, such as massive vRAM capacity (the GP100 is supposed to have 32 GB of vRAM), and the HBM2 memory build, the successor of the GDDR5X.
