Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

My quick guess / predictions on pricing: ;)

GTX 2080 Ti £899 (Coming later when 2080 customer is milked)
GTX 2080 £699 (Some Basic models) £799+ (Custom)
GTX 2070 £519 (Some Basic models) £619+ (Custom)
GTX 2060 £319 (Some Basic models) £399+ (Custom)
GTX 2050 Ti £199+ (Coming later)
GTX 2050 £169+

When AMD launches pricing will get a shakeup, but that is a ways off for 'high end'.

I think that's about ballpark, and I still think GTX is going to be naming scheme. I just can't get my head round the logic of RTX for the gaming cards. You never know of course, but it just makes no sense to me if they go that way. We shall find out soon enough...

I think the promo video pretty much gave the game away with hints that it would be named RTX.
 
Nvidia own the gaming PC graphics market right now. AMD doing great on the workstation / mining market and console space.

The thing is AMD is only cheaper alternative to Nvidia in PC gaming graphics, but if we keep buying Nvidia, who do we have to blame for the Nvidia monoply? Think about it boys xD

'Checks bank to see if can afford GTX RTX 2080', 'Nope', 'Sobs'...

I think if it's RTX it's actually genius from Nvidia, all those older GTX cards suddenly seem so last gen.

Nvidia know the super fans want the latest, that naming scheme will push the incentive even more ££££££££££.

GTR was filed as a trademark as well :)

(And GT/GTS/GTX renewed)

Not sure. A guy in the office just bought a mining rig with 12 1070Ti's for £2600. The person he bought it off had zero interest in PC's.
 
sounds like the reference blower may be good for you as it vents the air out of the case rather than moving around trapped hot air.

You really think a reference blower (which I assume you mean an FE) would be better for cases with not great airflow?


My case is big, but not that many fans.

I always thought reference coolers where loud.

With Navi looking like its only going for 1080 performance at £250 range I don't think it will shake up anything

Since when is 1080 performance £250?
1080 are £449 - £499
VEGA 64 are £449 - £549

Am not understanding where £250 comes from?

Depends on the power usage. For highend cards pushing the heat out from the case has a lot of advantages as long as the cooler can keep up. Ref Nvidia cards with the Titan cooler are the best quality cards but over priced. IICR the proper* Titan HSF design is $120 alone.

In all fairness if the pound was around the strength it was around the Brexit period (1.45ish) then the prices on the hardware were selling now would be around for cheapest models:-

I don't understand this. THe cards are manufactured in Taiwan, aren't they? And the value of the NT$ against the pound has barely changed.
