Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[Retro89]

why isn't Nvidia doing the normal 2080 release, bleed as much from that as possible then 6 months later the 2080ti release to bleed some more cash, why all together like this?


benchmarks please?

In before months later when they announce the 2080ti2.

We're not talking about the distant future... after 7nm there may only be 1 more shrink possible.

1 shrink possible until we reach the singularity and AI takes over and makes better tech than we could ever dream of

We're still scratching the surface of the quantum realm too, I think it's possible we can go smaller and infinitely faster defying conventional laws of physics

If it's a significant upgrade from a 1080ti i will probably go for it. Do we have any idea when we can expect third party cards?

Yeah I could see that happing and nvidia will suck the wonga outa ppl pockets ..

 

[Kaapstad]

I will do some owners threads later before the cards become available.

I’ve just bought 2 Tis with NVLink. Call me crazt XD

 

[Rroff]

Keep my 1080 I think, I bet if I turned my pc on now it will still play all my games so non issue for me.
And who plays bf for the graphics, don't you put the settings at low to get the advantage of better frames and less clutter.

Yup BF4 I was playing with a "low pro" config although I have to say occasionally it was nice to just ultra everting for the atmosphere - especially after the nVidia driver hack that massively increased framerate overall.

These days I'm barely playing anything other than The Division though so the argument for a GPU upgrade isn't particularly compelling but its been so long I'm itching to spend some money.

Shame on anyone who buys them tbh. Part of the problem.

 

[Davanius]

I thought I would only see a few post complaining but this has really cheesed off Nvidia fans.

Damn.

 

[NMBlack]

Yeah.....no......at those prices I'll be skipping this generation.

 

[Kelt]

exactly, Sony should wipe the floor with announcement of next gen

I f Sony can manage 4K @ 60fps with all the bells and whistles on withe PS5, then yeh, my PC upgrading days will be over.

Because it's probably going to be a short generation. They'll be wanting to transition to 7nm relatively soon.

If I were to build a PC and get a RTX2080 my GF would dump me.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Rather disappointed (read very disappointed)

I wanted to trawl through benchies tonight with a cup of coffee

The price doesn’t bother me, if it delivers insane performance over current gen it’s justifiable. Progress costs money

But the lack of solid info is a dissapointment

Jen seems like a jerk aswell

 

[starmanwarz]

This Nvidia guy was talking for 2 hours and he said nothing at all. No benchmarks, no comparison to previous gen and still there are people already blindly pre ordering.

We don't deserve anything better than this.

 

[five8five]

Could you imagine the furore if AMD had just done that presentation?

Well to be fair there has been a bit of a furore? Have you not been following It?

 

[subbytna]

You get yer cooler today?

No mate I didn't. Hopefully get it tomorrow

Then learn to not get involved in each other’s finances lol. Mine accepts it and I accept her spending.

You need to be at virtual absolute zero for quantum computing otherwise the heat noise masks the atomic activity you are looking to track. Rendering absolute zero requires a major engineering set up. Of course computers were once so big famously a high up person said he didn't think there needed to be more than 2 in the country, or something like that - but there isn't really any conceivable way at the moment by which you could achieve domestic absolute zero.

Very disappointing to be honest. Pricing is a joke.
