Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[dreigns]

Well yes, quite, BUT 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 has now put thousands of people on the fence!!

I have never seen them do that at any show they normally just talk about the tech

 

[scubes]

My god so disappointed that there were no benchies looks for now I’m sticking with my trusted 970 for now...

I guess the Hall of Shame for the 20XX cards really will be the Hall of Shame.

 

[Retro89]

I was getting the itch to do a new build but those prices have put me off.

 

[peterhc]

omg prices went for crazy for ***** crazy to fu**** ridiculous, come one my ftw3 costed me arm and leg already....

 

[Marine-RX179]

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.

Unfortunately you don't seem to understand that the Vega are actually much more expensive to make due to the use of HBM2 memory and bigger chip, and the profit margin on them are really tiny comparing to 1070/1080.

Nvidia is on the other hand kept on pushing the envelope further and further purely out of greed because they know they can.

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

Price/performance should improve. (Ergo, price remains somewhat static while performance goes up)
You can't keep paying more money for more performance, or else you'll end up with constantly higher prices.

 

[scubes]

Wonder why they didn’t show battlefield 5 running with ray tracing not a fan of demos at all .

 

[Journey]

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

Your username seems suitably appropriate in this instance.

 

[easyrider]

When do we get benchies ?

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Stupid as **** with zero benchies cannot make a decision on whether to spend a grand or not with a retailer due to zero actual solid info

How stupid is this

 

[TNA]

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...

Yeah. I get the feeling the 30 series will be priced better. These chips are pretty big and besides, someone needs to pay for all the R&D for Ray Tracing.

So, are you still buying a 2080?

 

[varkanoid]

The lack of 2nd hand cards appearing in the MM speaks volumes after the announcement.

 

[X-Mikuru_Beam-X]

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

Oh yeah, the 9th month is september lol!

 

[jb7]

The lack of benchmarks is highly suspicious.

 

[scubes]

And there’s me thinking they were gonna launch today but I guess they have to manufacture loads and loads for the suckas with big deep pockets ..

 

[Legend]

I have never seen them do that at any show they normally just talk about the tech

True. They will leave that to the YouTubers... and it won't be long before we find out what the raw performance figures are vs Pascal. I wouldn't even consider pre-ordering until then, and anyone who does is nuts. We basically know NOTHING, apart from the fact that ray tracing effects will look pretty when the games are out that support them. We don't know what impact enabling ray tracing will have on FPS either though, so that's something else to consider.

Irrelevant to the customer.

AMD had a higher RRP on a V64 than a 1080 if we ignore the rebate.

Neither are angels, however Nvidia's raking it in while AMD's GPU's are treading water.

 

[Locky]

Nvidia can suck my gentleman's sausage, Not buying any of their cards for that price.

 

[CraigN]

Looks like the PCB and heatsink are identical on most cards. Just the fans, shroud and backplate that differ on these.

so hoping they all use a reference PCB for waterblock compatibility.
