Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[deuse]

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

ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 8GB ROG STRIX OC GAMING Turing Graphics Card - £1006!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAH!HAHAAH!!H!!!!HAAHHA OMGWTFPWND.

 

[Efour]

That's me done with pc upgrades.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

I’ll preorder but need to see benchies mental we can’t yet

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.

You get yer cooler today?

 

[nashathedog]

Oh well, at least Infinity Wars released digitally today. I'll go watch that with my favourite tub of Haagen Daz.

Oh bugger, I also chose today to start my Lipotrim diet,

You know pricing is bad when Kaapstaad isn't even buying em.

 

[aoaaron]

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

I don't think they would.

The fact is AMD are releasing cards around the SAME performance, 1 year later at a higher price. They're not exactly angels themselves when it comes to their pricing.

Console gaming may be the way forwards at this point. Even the games end up cheaper now as they drop so quickly in price compared to STEAM et al.

 

[Kaapstad]

I think NVidia have included Ray Tracing a generation too early, they should have used the silicon space to include more SP cores for faster gaming rather than using it for Ray Tracing.

Larger silicon equals higher prices and Ray Tracing does not give enough benefit to justify the steep prices.

 

[Rroff]

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

Yeah he said on stage they start shipping 20th September.

 

[loftie]

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.

Ok, i didn't think I was going nuts thinking even BF4 had more lighting than their off example when I throw an incendiary nade.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Stop whinging about the prices everyone, and get yer bloody orders in, as its all your fault they this high, no one elses!

Anyone pre ordering without seeing some benchmarks are insane. Full stop.

I mean if you have disposable income and don't care fair enough......... or you are REAAAAAAALLLY wanting the extra visuals that's fine.

 

[D1craig]

this is nvidia, people would believe they have made **** into the next best gpu architecture and would preorder at £1500.

would love to know from Gibbo how many preorders there have been.

 

[easyrider]

Have to agree with the pricing....PC hardware used to be fun, overclock a cheap chip, overclocking a GFX card...

Now it's just madness, takes all the fun away imo...

Going by the stuttering that seemed to be in their game examples, I'd agree. It seems like a beta.

Ugh?

RRP was cheaper, all cards were faster except no 1080 Ti competitor

Mining made retailers jack prices. AMD didn't.

I know it's easier to blame AMD for Nvidia's wrong doings..

Oh well enjoy the pricing I guess. Good times xD

Yup, meanwhile Nvidia laughing all the way to bank xD

 

[opethdisciple]

I feel silly now for putting in my pre order when they where at £99,999.

 

[fewfe3]

Since when does $500 equal £569.

Damn you Nvidia

I can see why Gibbo was saying that Pascal prices weren't going to come down. Hopefully after they have sold all those gpus they have in the warehouse we might see normal nom mining prices.

On that thought I'm guessing there may be quite good for mining hence the price

Yeah - these are big cores, which even assuming some of the lines are a way to salvage bigger production runs, is going to be a big cost increase and a huge part of the core is taken up with the additional specialised functionality.

On the other hand if developers started to make use of these features for AI and sound, etc. the boot could be on the other foot... bit wishful thinking on my part though.
