Totally Real GTX 1180 photo leak
Nvidia just announced that they will hold a special "GeForce Gaming Celebration" event the day before Gamescom 2018. This "celebration" will be held on August 20 at 6PM (CET). Gamescom 2018 obviously taking place from August 21-25 in Cologne, Germany.
The event will be loaded with new, exclusive, hands-on demos of the hottest upcoming games, stage presentations from the world’s biggest game developers, and some spectacular surprises.

To join in, simply head here, register, and turn up for the start of the festivities on Monday, Aug. 20. Doors open at 5.30pm CET and the fun starts at 6pm. There’s limited space, so make sure you arrive early. Can’t make it in person? Don’t worry, it will be livestreamed.

If you somehow choose to miss Monday’s epic event, the festivities continue on Tuesday at 10am, and run clear through to 5pm. Again, space is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure you and your clan members turn up early to go hands-on with the spectacular PC-powered demos of the most-anticipated, yet-to-be-released games.

The location for the event itself has not yet been revealed.

It will included some "spectacular surprises" you say? Oh hell, they just gave every blogger a free pass to write up a ton of speculative articles about if this is when Nvidia will reveal the 11xx lineup of GPUs. Of course, it's not as though there have been a shortage of those articles and clickbait YouTube videos out there as it is.

Barring any actual leaks, we'll just have to wait until Monday, August 20 to see what Nvidia has to say. For those that are going to Gamescom proper, you can stop on by the Nvidia booth (E-072) in Hall 10.1.
