Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Bit vague? I would say the 580 and even Vega64 are great cards for what they are and price.

It's depending what people expectations are. With Nvidia you'd have to prepare to upgrade every gen to avoid decline in performance.
Take a look at how badly EOL Nvidia card age comparing to other cards in newer games, simple because Nvidia stopped pumping their "driver steroid" for them. How the mightly 980Ti has fallen from grace with it once being faster than the 1070 during launch:

Even the considered "failure" of AMD Fury X has caught up with it, and even overtaking it at higher than 1080 res.

The Fury X was faster than a 980ti in a number of titles and close in most others when it was released so there is really nothing to see there. The 1070 was also beating it or equal to it when released. It's weird how people seem to just want Nvidia to be doing badly or for people not to buy their cards by making stuff up.

Mate did you even bother to look at the bench or just responded with your mind made up in advance?
The 980Ti has fallen behind the 1070 not by a little bit, but by a BIG MARGIN.

What I did was look back and see that the 1070 was beating or equal to the 980ti when reviewed with release drivers (which you haven't done). In that bench there is an 12fps difference at 1080p and 7 at 1440p. It's a non story sorry and there is no big margin.

May be I remembered the 980Ti being faster than it was then.
But I certainly did not make things up, if you actually look back at how badly the GTX670/GTX680 aged vs the HD7950/HD7970, and the GTX780 vs the R9 290 series.

Yeah, no way would I ever buy something like a GPU off the bay; even more so, no way I'd ever sell one. You're literally asking to caught up in a scam, lose your item and have to fully refund the buyer.
It's worse than Mos Eisley.
Fair enough and props to AMD if that is the case for keeping their cards going for so long. I don't see why everything has to be Nvidia are bad and ripping us off though, it gets a bit tiring to read.
Where did you get the price from?

With the expected launch MSRP of $699 together with usual price gouging in the UK, that's the kind of money we would expect to have to have readied for the £.Fair enough and props to AMD if that is the case for keeping their cards going for so long.

Even the GTX1080 was launch at average of £600+ with actual availability, so we can expect no less for the 2080.

His ass. And possibly the fact that the 1080 launched at $699.

"Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
If the 1080 launched at $699 (ouch). I expect (COMPLETE GUESS) that the 2080 will launch at $749.
Nvidia have absolutely no reason to not increase the price with no competition. I hate it. But if I was Nvidia CEO I would raise the price.
