Geforce GTX 1170 Spotted

[Marine-RX179]

Come on, we all know the drill here. Nvidia have more experience cutting up a die than a butcher does cutting meat.
Nvidia have no competition, they will give us the absolute minimum they can possibly get away with next gen. You can forget any decent leaps in performance.

Too right. When Nvidia rebranded the GTX680 to the GTX770, everyone thought the GTX760 would naturally be GTX670 rebranded so people could get a potentially get a very good card back then for just over £200...but nope, Nvidia cannot have the consumer having it too good, so for GTX760 they cut down from the GTX670 while increased the stock clock, which led to the GTX760 although being "equal" to a GTX670 in performance out of the box, but when both cards clocked to the same frequency the GTX760 falls behind the GTX670

They are indeed an expert in GPU butchering, as well as counting nickels and dimes

For the 1180 it could well be faster than a 1080Ti, but the real question how high is the stock clock? It could well be clocked so high that just so out of the box it will beat the 1080Ti, but once both are overclocked, the 1180 could fall behind I could be wrong, but wasn't the 980Ti "slower" than the 1080, but when both overclocked, the 1080 fell behind the 980Ti in performance?

I think clock-speed manipulation plays a major part in to letting people see what they want to see.

Take the leap from maxwell to pascal and take anywhere from 5-10% relative performance off those skus and that would be how much you would roughly expect from the next gen counter parts.

The 1080 never fell behind but the 980ti closed in a lot of that 20% stock for stock gap.

980Ti tended to sit between the 1070 and 1080 when all 3 were overclocked, pretty damn good

980Ti did put up a good fight against the 1070.

 

[heatonpkmassive]

eventually they will slot 1170ti in the gap

Not if there's no competition from AMD they won't, why offer reasonably priced cards when you can milk the customer for a more expensive one?

Yea memory fails me...I think it was the 1070 not the 1080 that was comparable to the 980Ti at stock but fell behind when both overclocked.

Exactly what they've done back when AMD launched their 7950/7970, Nvidia saw the opportunity that they didn't need to go as far as needing to use their flagship GPU card to compete with them, they renamed what should have been the 60/60Ti card to 670/680 and clocking them to be just enough to beat AMD's offering in mainstream benchmark suite used by most reviewers; AMD have never managed to close that gap again, so Nvidia continued with the approach of launching 60/60Ti cards before 70/80 cards for maximising their profit, except they now call them 70/80 and 80Ti/Titan instead (as calling them cards 60/60Ti instead of 70/80 is not as appealing and attracting to the consumers, and certainly difficult to ask for £380~£550+ for them).

Nvidia is having the consumers right where they want them

Noticed GTX 1170 was added to Techpowerup GPU database.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/3252/geforce-gtx-1170

Very pleased to see 1170 will have around 180W TDP, 8GB GDDR6 and 2688 CUDA cores, it should be a lot cheaper than 1180 with around 200W TDP, huge 16GB GDDR6 memory and 3584 CUDA cores.

This is the same as the 1180 they put up. Look at the bottom of the page and it tells you that this is just a placeholder page. I.e. they dont know what the card is and they have just guessed it's specs.

Will the 1180 be faster than the 1080 Ti at a 1080 price?

 

[tyler_jrb]

Even the 1080 when that launched was £599 for some of the founders editions. Your mainly paying more for the new shiny shiny and every miner, man and his dog will want one.

My guess is it will likely be close to 1080Ti launch price. 600-650 ish.

Will the 1180 be faster than the 1080 Ti at a 1080 price?

My guess is they will launch at the $50 more than the 1080 launched at. So $599, what that translates to over here is anybody's guess.

Nobody knows anything about the performance yet, but, it would be looking pretty bad for the next generation of cards if the 1180 isn't faster than the 1080Ti.
