Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

TAC4U said:
At the same time, most of those upgrading will be enthusiasts and are likely to upgrade in a few years anyway. That's how long my GTX 970 lasted, to be replaced with a GTX 1080 and now—likely—with a RTX 2080 Ti. I can get a decent price for my current graphics card, which helps offset the cost.

Still, it's NOT cheap and I will be waiting for the reviews to see if the performance warrants the price. I'm not interested in the raytracing technology, as frankly it doesn't look very good and it absolutely will tank performance. It doesn't seem a great indication that pre-orders went up before reviews were released and performance has gone largely unmentioned in the information we've seen so far, aside from absurd claims of six times the performance.

You're not getting the true Ti card. This rtx 2080Ti is basically a 2080 card. The rtx titan is really the 2080ti and we will see the full chip later on like they did with the titan P and titanp bovine excrement shenanigans.

The funniest thing can even be seen in their own advert https://twitter.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/1031604770853806080


It states RTX 2080 11GB VRAM ... There is zero mention of a Ti card there or a 2070.. This clearly is another re-badging exercise. There is no Ti .. they just shifted the 2080 to a 2080Ti, the 2070 to 2080 and 2060 to 2070.

It is nothing more than insult over insults from them and the pricing they though meeh lets test the water as we were making a "loss" with all the inventory of 10 series cards that will never sell or end up like Atari E.T cartridges to artificially keep the prices inflated.

Exactly. Nvidia have moved the naming again and pushing you a card that you think is high end but it isnt, in this series anyway. Scummy antics.
 
Saying you are going to move to a console because a company releases a premium GPU at a very high price is like saying in response to the launch of a new £300K Ferrari that you are going to start taking the train; A total knee jerk reaction.
Stick with your 10 series and I'm sure there will be some better value 7nm cards down the line from both companies.
This is a non event unless AMD decide to give up on attempting to make high end cards in which case this is potentially a bad omen.
 
Went out to dinner and completely forgot about this.

I can't believe the pricing... it's absolutely absurd.

But I am excited about the raytracing... so I bought 2x ti cards...

I'm sure there will be a titan coming soon enough...

Come on AMD... please bring some competition to this market again!
 
As we suspect;

"Nvidia also revealed the GeForce RTX 2070, though at $499 reference price or $599 for a Founders Edition, it costs as much as a last-gen GTX 1080. Nvidia’s CEO claims it should be faster than a GTX 1080 Ti, though that claim is tied to games running ray tracing operations—it’s likely not nearly as fast as the GTX 1080 Ti in traditional rasterized games. Here are the specs, though Nvidia hasn’t revealed a release date."

Thanks Techy at Discord for the link.

More;

"It’s interesting that the GeForce RTX 2080 bears significantly fewer CUDA cores than the GTX 1080 Ti, and only 400 or so more than the older GTX 1080. Even with the benefits of 12nm and a restructured streaming multiprocessor architecture, the RTX 2080 might not outpunch the GTX 1080 Ti by much in games using the traditional rasterization rendering technology alone."

I don’t think it is a knee jerk reaction, these prices are insane, the consumer have been getting shafted for years on PC component pricing, especially on the graphic cards, NVIDIA’s pricing over the years has just gone up and up, and this is straight after mining craze where again the average buyer got shafted on pricing. This is not a knee jerk reaction this is people having enough.
If Microsoft and/or Sony are smart they will officially support keyboard and Mice in next generation of new consoles and PC gaming would be serious trouble

Not exactly... If you're using this analogy it only works if you say previous Ferrari's were £230k and you were waiting on the new one expecting it to be the same, only to find it is £300k on release. :D
