Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

These were ATI :)

AMD bought ATI in 2006, so they were in control when these cards were released even though it was still under the ATI Radeon brand. I know ATI was mostly responsible as these things are designed years in advance.

The best AMD card I can remember was the 5870 with the 4000 series being a close second. The best ATI card ever made was the 9700 Pro which demolished anything Nvidia had including the much maligned FX series released 6 months later.

Hmmmm. That EVGA card looks shorter than the others I’ve seen so far. Hope their Ti is just as short then I won’t need to butcher my case. One way or another a Ti is going to go into my PC!

So will all the 2080TI have no DVI? I have a old 120mhz Asus monitor which i run via DVI-D, the hdmi on it is only 1.4. So what are my options to get 120Hz on the new cards with my current monitor. Will some come with adapter or possibly dvi connection with some brands?

You can buy a cheap passive DP to DVI adapter but if you require DVI dual-link you may need an active adapter so check it out as they can be expansive.
I doubt that you will see a DVI output on the cards as that is extra work and cost for a small audience.

Yea...still haven't upgraded because putting graphic card aside, after 7 years the CPU, motherboard, ram that's worth upgrading from say something like a i5 Sandy platform would now cost nearly double of what it costed back then...

Look on the bright side. At least you had 7 years to save up for :p

I have not felt the need to upgrade for over 5 years now. Haswell was a nice upgrade over Sandy Bridge, but ever since then there has been nothing worth upgrading to without breaking the bank. Thank the lord AMD are back in the game. Finally there is something worth upgrading to imo. I think I will be going for Zen 2, then use that for a couple of years and pass that on to my partner as a upgrade and go for Zen 4 or whatever Intel has at the time that offers good price for performance :)

My favs were the 9700 and 4870. Great price for performance. The 4870 offered better performance than a 8800 GTX and cost less than half as I recall. I think I paid £200 for mine on release due to the very strong pound at the time.

I miss the days when our pound was so strong. The way things are going it might get even weaker and we won’t even get 1:1 with the dollar after VAT like we do now :(

Great thing about gpu's in early 2000's, games were the massive driving force. Every year
It seemed like the hardware was falling behind the software.

Yeah, feels like monitor tech is the biggest driving force at the moment. Safe to assume that a mid range card will max out any game on a mid range monitor. Got a high end monitor? buy a high end graphics card.

Very true, most flat (Non VR) games are console / PC multiplats, at this point with the pricing, an Xbox One X with a decent 4K, HDR / Freesync monitor is a far cheaper option with awesome quality for the price. Games are so well optimsed on the Xbox One X that I find some of them better too. Sad state of PC gaming. The hardware is there but the games aren't. *No exclusives*

PS4 has some great exclusives, and the Pro does a good job at upscaling to 4K.

In terms of VR though, PC is awesome and Nvidia have the edge in VR.

These new cards will be amazing for VR, not sure they are worth the rumored pricing though? Crazy pricing if new rumors are true.
 
If any of the GTX 2060's come in sub £300 I might grab one for VR. This GTX 1060 6GB does an ok job, but need to drop settings on some titles, like hellblade etc. Think the 2060 would be enough for highest / higher settings?
