Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[LeMson]

So i'd of been happy to spend 2080 prices on the 2080ti, not touching any of them until the benches now, and it'll be 2070 performance vs 1080ti, prolly just stick with my 970 tbh, guess I'm 2080 money richer

 

[Spook187]

Have i missed something where are the EVGA cards.

 

[dreigns]

I think people are going a bit over the top on the price it all depends on what the benchmarks say the 2070 is as fast as the 1080ti how would you feel about the price then and how do you think a person who has got a 1080ti would feel

So it all depends on how fast these are

 

[Smffy]

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.

Notice the 2080/ti work with NVLink... doesn’t this mean SLI becoming viable again as the games would see it as a single GPU?

Will my Titan Xp EVGA Hybrid cooler fit on this PCB does any-one know?

 

[eggcup]

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

yeah in 2 years lol

 

[Rroff]

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

I'm in a bit of an odd position as I have the money, last few years have been so stagnant on real progress I've saved up loads, but I hate spending money frivolously and/or feeling like I'm a mug and right now I don't need any upgrade :s

it won't be in traditional games, he was obviously talking about RTX performance considering the chart he showed after saying that.

 

[esoteric]

I knew when I ordered my founders edition 780 in 2013 it would probably be the last time I buy the current high end, and I was a bit bitter at paying over £500 for it but I had to get rid of the 470.

Doesn't look like I can expect to get a new card under £550

 

[Aurhinius]

You do have to wonder - " we need a new way to measure performance we are calling it gigarays" Yeah accept if your game doesn't support raytracing then you just bought a 1070, a 1080 and a 1080ti again for more money. Seems like a lot of the new die space is all geared for ray tracing. I'd expect a 10% performance gain in normal cores due to efficiency perhaps if you are lucky.

 

[aoaaron]

If theres no FPS gain, the 2080 will be a very very hard sell. It'll have to at least match the 1080ti and then have raytracing too.

Even then, with 1080tis hopefully breaking the sub £500 barrier....


Either way you look, value just isn't there in the PC gaming side of things now. The old cards... are well years old. The new cards have no bench marks and likely are the same performance with RTX, something used in maybe 10 games by the end of this year and the competitor cards are overpriced, use more power and similar performance to the 2 year old cards.

 

[Aretak]

Since when does $500 equal £569.

It doesn't. The Founders Edition 2070 is $599 in the US. The $499 is a theoretical price for third party cards, just like they did with Pascal. In reality, almost all third party models will cost the same as the FE or more, just like they did with Pascal.

Well yes, quite, BUT if they are faster across the board (not just with ray tracing) why didn't Jensen state this? A single slide with FPS numbers could have put all this debate to rest and have had people clamouring over each other to pre-order. Omitting it has now put thousands of people on the fence!!

 

[Andrei23]

Merry Christmas, boys!

 

[EastCoastHandle]

And the Miners rise from the ashes...

 

[aoaaron]

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

Really? I've looked at the benchmarks and I didn't see the Vega 56 beating the 1070ti in everything or many things.

Who cares about RRP? I want to know the actual price I can buy them for, and they were very expensive. If you think AMD didn't take a slice of those profits.. then... sure...

£569 must be $599. checked, and it is. Keynote said $499, so that's a $100 premium for FE.

$499 is £468, much more reasonable.

 

[Reality|Bites]

Well I have £900 in the GPU pot and was looking at getting a waterblocked 2080Ti for that! lol

If 2070 Performs circa 1080 Ti but has been launched at what a 1080 Ti should currently cost (years on the market). Basically no price / performance improvements.

2080 occupies the £800 mark

2080 Ti is circa £1200.

Basically Nvidia just priced all the cards up another notch. It's not a good situation in any light.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Some cards say 1545 OC others 1650 OC, is it just down the lottery in the end to how much any of these cards will max out at?
