Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Ian Evey said:
100's of reviews and user benchmark threads say otherwise, ignorance is definately an Amd thing on this forum.

Just because a vega64 beats a 1080 at certain games makes it the bestest card in some eyes and if you can be arsed to faff about with volts and settings it beats a 1080ti in every game ever made, or not!

Here is the thing. AMD are very competitive right now and the notion that Nvidia are ahead is laughable.

I mean, if we all just refused to buy the new cards at the price they are at. even for just a few weeks. The prices would come tumbling down. Guaranteed. Supply and demand.
But all over the internet with people screaming "TAKE MY MONEY NVIDIA" at RTX2080 leaks. THATS the real problem here, not AMD. We should, as a community come together and say enough is enough, we arent paying those prices. You would soon see them come down. But there will be plenty who preorder and buy on release. Confirming to Nvidia that they can charge what they damn well please.

I don't understand this argument. When would this ever happen in reality and where has it ever happened in any consumer field? In any market there is a leader and they are the most expensive. There seems to be this assumption that someone waiting for the new Nvidia cards must somehow be standing on the edge of the Nvidia cult pit about to tumble in or we are gullible. The reality, for me anyway, is that is it faster? Can I afford it? If the Vega 64 had beaten my 1080ti I'd have bought it. I don't understand why we should all come together so everyone can afford something. That's not how life works sadly.

Very surprise at RTX 2080 Ti inpending launch on Monday so look like Nvidia will launch 3 RTX series cards RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti.

If someone was to point out the FACT regarding misleading/bait and switch that Nvidia pulled with the GTX1030 GDDR5 to DDR4 memory after launch, GTX 1050 3GB and GTX1060 3GB with sneaky cut-down spec, are they pro AMD, haters against Nvidia got some agenda to push, despite it is totally of Nvidia's own doing...?

I am not sure if there are many people actually "pro AMD", but it is more to do with lots of anti-consumer practices that Nvidia pushes that some of us feel the need to point out. People can buy whatever they want, but the important thing is they are getting what they are expecting for what they paid for. If someone on a tight budget and just starting out on the PC building scene, done their research and bought a GT1030 because reviews showing them that they are good enough for the games that they play and bought a GT1030 now, they'd end up a card that got less than half the graphic performance comparing to what's shown in reviews.

Nvidia sure make some great hardware, but dishonesty is pretty much part of its organisation culture now, from the lie about the GTX970 spec, misleading of cards I mentioned above, and also CEO openly telling us that the next gen Nvidia card is a long way away just so they can shift more stocks at higher price before their next gen launch no really that far away :p

Pointing out anti-consumer practices regardless of company is not an issue, its the group of people that pretty much disregard any wrong doings by their faviorite side that constantly cause arguments/misinfomation and trash up threads.

There's nothing wrong with concluding that although this type of person thinks they're doing the great work of their beloved company its acutally more counter productive and questions their credibility.

I guess I'm expecting to much of people to have some sort of semi-balance and less bias in their posting.

We see this a lot with AMD, the mind-share is on Nvidia's side. So even when AMD compete, it's not enough. They have to be cheaper too, and even then people will still buy Nvidia.

The big mistake was not having card that can beat GTX 1080Ti, because despite AMD beating them everywhere else, Nvidia have the fastest GPU, and that mind-share trickles down over the sub tiers.

The Nvidia defense force baffle me, it's like they want a monopoly and higher prices, just so they can say in a forum I have an Nvidia I am best sort of thing. Much like people who buy Apple products. Really weird imo. I would much rather a competitive market with GPU's coming more frequently than every 2 years with mediocre improvements and higher prices.

For those not bothered by brand but rather performance / price let's hope Intel can shake up the market in 2020. Otherwise we'll enjoy paying near £1000 for the X80 tier xD

When I got my 1070s at release I don't believe AMD had anything that could compete. Later on in the cycle yes, but they were still overpriced due to their mining capabilities. AMD's problem is being late.

You can't help a weak mind I suppose.

This, AMD arrived late and offered similiar performance to the Nvidia counterpart. AMD's biggest problem in my mind now is that they are getting so out of sync with Nvidia and as so it gets harder to close the gap.
