Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[LambChop]

You miss my point. I do not wish to 'work' on a game that I spent money on before playing. I do not get a sense of accomplishment out of tweaking a game's settings as I write software for a living, I don't even use a FPS counter, only a limiter. I simply just want to hit play and enjoy myself.

You're not going to get much understanding with that kind of comment, especially with PC enthusiasts. Most want to look at numbers and wither they can hit high setting on something literally useless.

There's a fair bit of petty bitching going on in here.

People have different wants, needs, opinions, standards... whatever. I don't really see that my preferences are right or wrong, they're just my personal preference. I want to max the sliders and get on with it, and I'm happy to shell out for the best hardware I can financially justify (to me, and only me) in order to achieve it.

I didn't miss your point. I'm saying you don't really understand that you're making a compromise, while saying you buy the best so that you don't have to make a compromise.

You're compromising your own experience if you just set everything to max and play.

My mum has not been very well for quite a while

So sorry to hear that Kaap, we only get one Mum Hope she gets better soon m8.

I think it will be £650-£800 price range at launch.

Asus card......£950

 

[nomadd]

Asus card......£950

EVGA FTW-WTF-Edition..£999

 

[BubbySoup]

The Asus one will be a £ per MHz...

I haven't decided if it'll be the base or boost clock price yet though

 

[subbytna]

£699 my guess

Yep that's more like it. It's Nvidia remember, they're not your friend but there to shaft all people with price gouging. Crazy how expensive GPU's are these days.

This is a placeholder page.
Details will be added as they become available.

This is at the bottom of their tech page. Basically they have guessed the info and it's not true. 16gig card? aye right....

I recon 1180 is going to be ~10% faster than a 1080ti (ref) and come with 8Gb of ram.
Not worth me chucking in the big boy for.

The 1170 should in theory be around the same as the 1080ti. Fingers crossed about that

Jumped into the conversation a little later without reading all previous comments but I think you'll find the opposite is true. Most folks don't want to tweak settings, but have to because they need to. I spend a lot of time on PC's daily, I want to just load up a game and get on with it - the best experience possible. I therefore buy the best GPU I can afford usually and set everything on max. These days that's good enough. Stopping gameplay because FPS counter indicates it;s suboptimal to tweak settings and enjoying doing that, I'd question whether the user is enjoying the actual game.
We're all different though but I think most don't consider tweaking settings to be enjoyable. While you may see this as others making a compromise, it may not be what they think - there's no right or wrong necessarily.
If I owned a less optimal GPU I personally would let GeForce experience automatically pick the best settings. Sure, if you spent hours playing witht he settings you can do better but to me that's hours of life wasted.

Back on topic, please lets have something new soon , ideally a new TXP soon after an 1180

Maybe that's the experience you're used to lol.

My mum has not been very well for quite a while and I am using the money for things she needed.

Bugger, hope she's on the up Kaap

I’m not sure why people think this. Maxwell to pascal was a massive die-shrink, whatever’s next isn’t going to be anything like the same. I can see the next gen being quicker in dx12 but 1170 quicker than 1080ti - can’t see it. New features (ray tracing maybe free sync over hdmi), modest bump and better dx12 yes

 

[JediFragger]

The next-gen nVidia cards are supposedly more DX12/Vulkan focused performance-wise, so the performance leaps are probably going to happen in the next API's rather than DX11 games.

Sorry to hear that man. Hope she gets better soon.

Thanks everyone.

Unfortunately she has Alzheimer's so it will only get worse.

[fastboy]

sorry to hear that kapp.

ive been on a keto diet for the last 4 months (lost 3 stone and down to 14 stone now) and one of the benefits is it helps with Alzheimer’s according to studies..might be worth a read up.

Thanks everyone.
