Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[CREATIVE!11]

its not 'twice the TI performance'. you weren't listening. only for ray-tracing WHICH NO GAME USES YET.

Correct.

They used marketing jargon and slyly slipped in.... yeah twice performance.......... when using ray tracing.

 

[five8five]

Anyone know when the embargo on benches lifts?

Have any reviewers got their cards yet?

 

[bigmike20vt]

I hate to say I told you so over a grand .

Yeah and overclockers cheaper than Nvidia at again 1049
I have the cash but part of my enjoyment is got from feeling i got a fair price. I will have to see benchmarks but my feeling right now is sod off Nvidia.
If I see a cheap 2nd hand 1080ti I may bite otherwise gonna wait till black Friday and hope once the die hard must have the best enthusiasts die off sales will tank

Correct.

Reviews are going to be interesting to say the least. I don't expect a massive performance increase at all.

 

[Boomstick777]

it's mugs game now.

It's been that way for a while xD

Still there's a few that will enjoy being bent over and praise Nvidia while it's being done to them pmsl.

The monopoly is real xD AMD should bow out of PC graphics in future, and let Intel take em on. Just pointless at this point when Nvidia can command such ridiculous price points.

You know if AMD brought out a card 10% slower but 30% cheaper people would still buy Nvidia.

AMD may as well focus on CPU /GPU server, console etc. Why even bother fighting Nvidia at this point. Madness xD

You better hope it beats your Ti sufficiently in traditional benches without RTX.

If not............ RIP HOMIE. Nvidia just fleeced you hard. Although you will get some better visuals of course.

There are worse things in life than making a boob like I (may) have just done..... you win some you loose some.

 

[McManicMan]

Will these run Tetris with all shadows enabled?

 

[hedgey]

So $500 translates to £570? That's not a weak pound, that's flippin' anaemic.

Should be £468. I don't see the 2070 listed anywhere in £ yet tho. Probably wont be out until October 20th ;/

We'll see, that's all that really matters now tbh.

People pre ordering are nuts.....

 

[Yaayuh!]

Thats the HUGE issue at present. Why would ANYONE pre-order a card when they don't know its performance. For all we know, the 2070 could be worse performing than the 1080!

Because it’s the best thing ever, my boner says so.
Take my money Jen-Hsun, I love you!!

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Unless the 2080Ti is 50% faster than the Titan V; it's not worth that price!

 

[KentMan]

I feel sorry for anyone flogging a 1080ti for the 2080 if it turns out there is minimal to no FPS Increase in current titles

By the tumt Raytracing is mainstream these cards will already be EOL

 

[~>Dg<~]

the funny thing is mp wise most people turn shadows off. so ohh look we made this feature to make shadows less strong. it will cost ya. how about i just turn it off lol.

 

[Mr Fujisawa]

nope. This is insane pricing. £1k should NOT be the norm!

 

[subbytna]

900 quid for a fake Ti card lol. The 2080ti should really be the 2080. The titan version should really be the 2080ti as the full fat chip will come out later.

Yet the sheeple will buy these in droves.

 

[X-Mikuru_Beam-X]

Do orders direct from Nvidia ship next month also? My order confirmation says "This item will ship on or around 20/09/2018" ???

 

[awaybreaktoday]

PCWorld Stream let slip Intel Gaming card is coming soon.....

 

[hedgey]

so the FE is $100 premium. Was the 2070 a FE?

 

[Aurhinius]

It's priced me out of the market and I bought a 1080ti but this is a joke. If you have that much disposable income enjoy your purchase.

 

[Rroff]

Confused. While RTX is pretty, RTX off had no light what-so-ever from that those effects, it didn't look like a comparison to current methods vs new methods it looked like someone had turned off the effects altogether, or am I going bonkers?

There did seem to be a lack of the normal, non-shadowing, dynamic lights used to light the scene around explosions and flames, etc. yeah. Still they don't really compare to hybrid ray traced solutions - especially once developers move away from make everything super shiny mentality and start doing more intricate implementations.
