Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Exec 1: "It's been two years since our last gaming generation of cards, we need to launch something, right?"
Exec 2: "Yeah but we haven't got anything better than our current products. 7 nm isn't ready yet!"
Exec 1: "What about all that AI stuff we're doing, can't we just find a gaming use for that and bung it in?"
Exec 2: "Great idea! It can probably do lighting really well, let's make a new closed-source API for better lighting that only works on our brand new cards and charge a fortune!"
Exec 1: "But the cards will otherwise perform pretty much the same though...so we can't charge more can we?"
Exec 2: "Watch this..."

Isn’t the lack of benchmarks worrying? What happens if these new GPU’s don’t perform any better than the 10XX series, and all it actaully does is give you ray tracing in supported games?

As far as I have read and watched NVIDIA haven’t talked about any performance gains over 10XX at all, and people are handing over £1000...

Handing over, and quite easily have it handed back. Better to want and be ready then find out in a few weeks time that it knocks the socks off Pascal, and there be no stock anywhere.

Yes quite worrying.... also the fact they didn't say anything about performance vs 10 series outside of ray-tracing specific situations....

That's what we are all debating. It's the million dollar question right now, how well do the 20 series perform vs 10 series in traditional applications. Since you are paying 1200 for a gpu one has to expect pretty good right?

You can guess a lower bound of performance increased from the jump in core count and change in clock speed. Unknown what increased per core and overall architectural improvements made but that might be another 5%.


Probably about a 40% bump overall. Some games 60%, some 20%.

Well if the 2080ti is dipping as low as 30fps in the new Tomb Raider game, it doesnt give much hope for the 1080ti and lower
 
If the 2070 is faster than a 1080 then that *could* be a possibility for me. I game at 1440p and the 1080 is fast enough.

I can justify a 2070 but not over £700.

I imagine the 2080ti will be almost adequate at 4k resolution.
