Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[Panos]

A grand is insane for a Ti card, even more if it's over that. Damn.. If they come in that much and sell i hope that's not a new sticking point for prices.

Few days ago Gibbo said that all the Pascal cards will go up in price, yet those are the cards going to be replaced on Monday.
Already the GTX1070Ti is more expensive than the Vega 64 Red Devil, the second best Vega card after the Nitro+.
(the Strix is pile of poo in comparison even against the reference)

The good 1080s are now at £500+ while the good 1080Tis are now at £800. That would allow Nvidia to sell the upcoming cards north of £800 and maximize profits.
And that is how monopoly works. Nvidia will keep the prices inflated until stock goes, because it will make them look as "good deals" over the RTX cards which will come with big profit margins. And they will still sell, and RTX prices wont fall.

So until AMD comes with a pretty powerful card to compete with the RTX cards, you will have to put your hands very deep into your pockets.
Since we all together (including my self) allowed NV being able to pull this monopolistic pricing, and exuberant profit margins.

And anyone who doesn't like it, don't blame AMD. Blame yourselves who didn't bought an AMD card when at the price point had the better product.
Blame yourselves with all the anti AMD hate preaching in this very forum over the years and in this very discussion the last few days.

Also do not expect the moment AMD comes with better product NV lowers the price now either. Just look at the CPU market.
AMD has the better CPUs on the HEDT, yet Intel has barely touch their prices. That will happen to the GPUs also.

Enjoy the new GPU pricing for the years to come.

That never happened. Source for that info?

I put the link on my post above, which you criticized as not true because Tesla doesn't buy AMD products.

While this may well of happened the article is in the rumour section and isnt confirmed as of yet.

The prices will likely stay high even if a bunch of us don't bother buying early. That would be holding back for something we want to try to get for a lower price, and because others would be buying at said price they aren't gonna drop.. So don't have a choice now.

It's been removed now. Back again.

Just had a look at their own prices on the rest of their line-up... The 1080ti XLR8 OC (so the equivalent card from the previous gen) is listed there at $899. So a $100 increase over last gen's equivalent top card (for that one card, in that one place at least).

That article is a piece of non confirmed non sense, Tesla never used AMD products for anything. Musk came out on stage last week and announced using an ASIC solution. So no AMD had nothing to do with it.

Interesting pny link!

I personally see it less as a Ti and more a rebadged Titan, and at 1k I don’t really mind as it’ll keep the prices of the 1080Ti’s up for when I want to sell lol. Still not convinced it’s real yet though.

 

[IT Troll]

Have to hand it to Jim at AdoredTV as his sources pretty much nailed it, who thought a 5GB GTX1060 would even be a thing?

Don’t think anyone was predicting/expecting the Ti so soon.

Has the reference / FE cooler been seen yet?

 

[scubes]

I thought we woulda seen some benchies by now since we have seen the cards and boxes already ah well.

I guess one difference would be that the GPU will not be able to break the rules, but people who own Ferrari's will definitely not be going 70mph.

Very true but that also applies when if a person can afford to buy a huge 144hz g sync monitor and 1x RTX 2080/2080ti, they probably won't be locked at 30fps and will likely push the boundaries of their 144hz headroom with a second 2080/2080ti in SLI.

it also remains a future proof purchase that will likely max any single cards capability without being the bottleneck for the foreseeable future.

 

[harmattan]

What I'm hearing elsewhere points to $1000 for the 2080 ti, so that pny price sounds legit. Once it jumps the pond, I think we're talking £1100 -- no thank you. Even if 50% performance above 1080 ti, that's nutty money for the only real 4k option.

 

[D.P.]

So what’s people’s view of what the new NV Link connector will mean for gamers? Is this the rebirth of SLI outside of the enthusiast segment (where lots of tweaking is necessary to maximise performance) or will we start to see better scaling in AAA titles and enough power to drive 4K at max settings at anywhere near 100fps?

Won't make a difference. So i will still use AFR and need support from developers and Nvidia. In many game engines it just doing be possible due to intervene dependence. SFR under DX12 will require the exact same developer commitment for a tiny market share.

The nvlink is faster, but doesn't change the way the interface operates.

The money exception might be Ray tracing where it is much easier to scale to multiple discrete GPUs. Nvlink will get used extensively in professional setups doing Ray tracing ,and may get so e support in games.

I guess the 980Ti will be the first and last Ti I buy. I mean I enjoy pc hardware and all that, but there's a limit.

 

[bigmike20vt]

That is a lot of cash.....but ..... I doubt I can resist. It will probably be 3 - 4 times faster than my gtx980!!!

Add in VR link and the hardware ray tracing (which I will admit will likely be geek factor only till next gen) and it should be good for the next 4 years. (And take me to the gtx 2280ti)

 

[scritchyrat]

The fans on that EVGA look like they've caught the pox.

Quite digging the transparent shroud though. A shame I won't pay the the (obviously) £700+ they'll be wanting for it.

 

[D.P.]

Yet Tesla signed a multi million contract with AMD to supply them with Vega 20

Not for the cars, Tesla are building their own deep learning compute cluster. I believe previous they used Amazon AWS powered Nvidia Pascal and Volta gpus.

Once yogurt but enough it can make sense conveyor own data center.

Almost double the price of the 980Ti in just a few years.
