Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Over the years i've had as many amd cards as nvidia. What i've bought over the time is what was the best deal for the features/performance for the budget i had at the time..
Vega has been priced reasonably close if not higher then the comparable Nvidia gpus over the last year or so which makes a mockery of you trying to say its Nvidia buyers allowing prices to be where they are. Both vendors are as greedy as the other IMO

You are talking about the last 12 months on a single product. I am talking about the past decade on the whole lineup every year.
 
Going to be disappointing if the 2070 is only 7gb and only 10% faster than a 1080. As much as I want new tech, this may force me to just grab a 1080Ti second hand which will soon be flooding members market.

Hopefully at the very least they can overclock to 1080Ti performance. But 7gb is weak considering 1070 had 8gb.

The 2080Ti looks like it will have good performance, but I find it hard to pay £800-900 for it knowing 7nm is not that far away. Once we hit 7nm I feel we will be stuck on it for a long time so it is easier for me to justify dropping that kind of money on a 3080Ti which will hopefully have more than 11gb. Just in time for Cyberpunk 2077 :D


For a decade was AMD with the better product and price, yet you still bought Nvidia even when their products was inferior....So spare us...

I didn’t. For nearly a decade I always had AMD cards. If it was not for me really liking 2160p, I would be rocking a Vega 56 at 1440p on a Freesync monitor right now personally.

Which cards? The 780ti for example generally beat a 290x at release in a lot of games, lost out in a couple. A 680 did very well against a 7970.

This first generation is for the early adopters with deep pockets seemingly but the jump to 7nm will more than likely bring a much bigger jump in bang for your buck than this series.
The talk is to move to 5nm surprisingly soon as the plans are aggressive but whether they can pull it off is another thing.

Exactly, we will likely get a bigger leap and better bang for buck, which is why I hesitate dropping £800-900 on a 2080Ti together with the fact I actually do not even need that kind of performance until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out anyway, and when it does it probably won’t be enough, hence 3080Ti makes more sense for my personal needs.

Not heard about a quick move to 5nm. I personally doubt it will be quick. But we will see.
 
With the news surrounding these cards, can't help see this is just a punitive upgrade from pascal, 20%ish more cuda cores and the same memory capacity albeit at a faster rate with gddr6. Similar bass and boost clocks too. No hdmi 2.1 either to run full 4k 144hz with chroma 4:4:4 or 8k via single cable. Would have been good for future proofing

And the decent gains seem that could have been seen halve been reserved for quadro line. This is what happens with no competition, hopefully intel can compete better in future, don't have much hope for navi.

As it stands 2080 seems like a rebadged 1080ti and 2080ti a rebadged titan XP. Only expect 20% performance increase at most
 
Think I’ll just stick with my 1080. The new cards seem to be out of my price range due to saving. Might pick up a cheap 1080ti if the price is right and I can sell my 1080.
 
These looks to be ultra expensive given this leak

2080 $800
2080ti $1000


I'm dubious, and if true would be interesting to see sales figures. Performance jump would have to be huge but I doubt that is the case.


It is also frequently the case that NVidia wont release official prices to the last minute to keep things secret, they might offer a ceiling price that some AIBs might use as a placeholder.
