Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

I thought my 1080ti was expensive last year at £630 that’s now proving a worthy investment and a buy in at the right time it seems.
 
I am not poor (I live in Sweden) and Moose meat is actually quite expensive. My existing rig is r9 390X my wife has 980Ti so we are in need of an upgrade - figured may as well take the leap and hope the benchmarks support the decision. If we start to see poor benchmarks before my cards arrive I can always cancel the order and if I see poor performance when it arrives, I have 2 weeks under distance selling regulations to send it back - so it is a leap but it at least has safety nets under it.
Can we please give the guy a break. He's clearly thought it through.:confused:
 
I am not going to pretend that the Turing cards are value for money, they are not but the point I am making is there are plenty of us who have spent the same money on a Pascal Titan and ended up with even less performance.

Back then everyone knew the Titan was poor value for money. Really so long as people keep paying these prices NVidia will keep charging these prices :(
 
Neither does nVidia with the asking price!

This is based on the 1 Turing = 4 Volta as mentioned in the key note.

I’ve lost a lot of love of NV. I’m not paying top dollar for a minor incremental upgrade.

If you want my hard earned, then you’re gonna have to wow me!

That's a fair point. I think NV have done exactly what intel did and basically charge it because they can. The problem is, people still buy them, and yet pray for AMD to become competitive and charge much less. Which isn't fair given they are competing with both NV and Intel with a much smaller R&D budget. AMD haven't been squeaky clean in the past, but at the minute its the only company to get my money.
 
I think with Turing for once NVidias marketing/development skills have deserted them and it could be a very costly mistake.

Yes the Ray Tracing may work well and the cards may be a bit faster than Pascal but I think it is the wrong product at the wrong time.

NVidia have wasted money making big dies so they could include Ray Tracing and are trying to pass the cost onto the end user, big mistake as the benefits the new tech brings can not justify the cost.

What they should have done is left Ray Tracing out and used some of the space for extra SP cores and the rest to reduce the size and cost of the dies, then sold the cards at the same price point as Pascal.

As to Ray Tracing it should have been included in one or two generations of future GPUs on 7nm where it would have been easier to make the dies small enough to be sold at a much lower price than Turing.
 
He doesn't know **** - he is making a guess (there were no FPS shots visible in the demo he is referring to). My expectations are to be able to game well at 4k and be able to do so for the foreseeable future. I have confidence that the 2080 Ti will be significantly better performance over the 1080 Ti for 4k gaming - that is what I was waiting for that is what I believe I will get. Having access to new Raytracing techniques is just a nice bonus.

Since you have the facts and others do not. Let see your facts because from Nvidia mouth here is what we know...

The $10000 RTX8000 (48GB Vram), can do 10Grays real time ray tracing, at 1080p 24fps using pre-backed content ( rasterization) for all other graphics on the videos.
Do you believe Nvidia will sell you the RTX2080Ti (11GB Vram) at 1/10 the price of the RTX8000 having same perf? Or the RTX2080 being similar to the $6300 RTX6000?

@4K8KW10 posted a nice calculation that the Nvidia numbers do not add up, and would need 200Grays card to render 4K at 60fps.
That is 20 times over of what is provided......
 
Well this is a result of the "Haha AMD you're crap" brigade. A monopoly so ingrained now that 2080ti on ocuk is £1,339. For that cash you could buy an amazing high end freesync monitor AND a graphics card to play it on. Yet the sheeple will flock to Nvidia and fuel the endless price increases.

Stop buying Nvidia and get a new freesync monitor and a graphics card to go with it.

Amen! I get people can afford it. Heck I could order one now. But I'm not insane. £1300 for a GPU is beyond ridiculous.
 
Back then everyone knew the Titan was poor value for money. Really so long as people keep paying these prices NVidia will keep charging these prices :(

Everyone who has ever bought a Titan card knows the score with the pricing but to them it was more important to have the ultimate card not the one that is almost as fast.

When I get in a vehicle to get from A to B I don't care how crappy it looks as long as it gets me there, on the other hand other people would use a Rolls Royce. Horses for courses.:)

Amen to that, however it less money :/
@Boomstick777 wrote that his 4K HDR benq monitor is perfect, and that monitor goes for 435 +450 for a red devil ~900 with transportation.
£430 left to buy a CPU also :D
 
But what about when they release another Titan in 6 months time and Titan Jr :p at a similar price and a decent step above the 1080Ti.

Seems nothing but a milking session to me.
Of course they will. The £1000+ "ti" card for sale now is actually a 2080. The real Ti will. Come later. The milking is rampant.
 
Nvidia clarifies RTX in games doesn't mean Ray Tracing.
https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/nvidia_clarifies_-_rtx_in_games_doesn_t_mean_ray_tracing/1

RTX technology refers to both AI and Ray Tracing, which means that almost half of the RTX Games announced at the launch event lack support for Ray Tracing :rolleyes:

If you can only run Ray Tracing at about 22fps like they did in the demos I think most people will disable it anyway to reduce stutter and get the framerate up even at 1080p with the 2080 Ti.

I care about both, which is why I'm always spunking too much money. lol
 
IF the 2070 is faster than the 1080ti,at £550 for the founders card I don't think that's too bad,just have to wait for the reviews to drop first before committing to anything.
