Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

TNA said:
Trouble with paying that kind of money for a 2080 is that you know in 3-6 month you will get the ti version for the same price. Which is why I would rather get the 2070, see how it fares until the 2080Ti comes out and decide if I can wait until the 3070 comes out :p

If possible I would love to be able to go from xx70 to xx70 each gen. If it cost about £100-150 to upgrade every 2 years, that is not to bad. It is like being 1 gen behind from the top, but you get a much more efficient card running card. Also you get to have fun trying out the latest gen of cards each time rather than being stuck on a old hot power hungry card which is not great unless watercooled in the summer.

That said certain games like Cyberpunk 2077 will make me want to upgrade to something beefier.

The problem is the rumour is saying the RTX2070 isn't a cut down version of the RTX2080 but uses a lower end GPU. Hopefully this is not true.

Which will leave plenty of room for the 2070Ti.
It's all or nothing. Either a 2080, TU104, at $700+ counting down for the 1080TI and 1070TI to be added. Or just get a current gen card and ride it out. Either way, popcorn is needed. :)
 
NVIDIA registers TURING, GeForce RTX and Quadro RTX trademarks

https://videocardz.com/77166/nvidia-registers-turing-geforce-rtx-and-quadro-rtx-trademarks

If all info are really true that Titan RTX and RTX 2080 will launch in August, I don't think both will launch on 20 August but I think Jensen will unveil Titan RTX at SIGGRAPH on 13 August and unveil RTX 2080 at Gamescom on 20 August.

Disappointed if RTX 2070 details are true that it will use TU106 chip rather than same cutdown TU104 chip as RTX 2080, use 7GB GDDR6 rather than 8GB GDDR6 and performance level just 17% faster than GTX 1080 I expected it to be 50% faster than GTX 1080 so then think I will get RTX 2080.

Guess maybe I will keep my old Dell laptop with Kepler GT750M until Ampere on 7nm, very disappointed that GTX 2050 is not at GTX 1060 level and did not have RTX technology or lacked Tensor cores.

So we will have to wait and see if Titan RTX will launch on 13 August then all information leaked will be true.

We probably will see updated Nvidia roadmap with Turing on 12nm in 2018 then Ampere on 7nm in 2019.

Yep. They learnt that lesson with the 970 fiasco.

Customer = ******* they lied to me, I am *******! I want a full refund!!!

.....

What graphics card shall I buy with my refund?

..
......
.........

I know!!! I will add more money on top of my refund and buy a GTX 980! That will teach them the *****! :D

AMD aren't going to save anyone. ATI going to AMD was just a waste.

I don't know what's worse at the moment, Nvidia's overpricing or if you buy an AMD card those funds going to console development and not back into the desktop market.

AMD are useless. All hope for competition within the GPU market is on Intel.

As for the 1180/2080 series of cards, i'll be skipping those and a couple of generations after that too. Hopefully some sanity will be restored to the market by the time 2023 arrives, which is when i'll be after a new GPU.

Well, that was a load of self-indulgent, emo twaddle. Narrow-minded too.

AMD have the tech, they've just ballsed up on implementation. Get HBM cheaper to produce, properly bin GPUs so ludicrously-high baseline power requirements aren't needed and lo and behold, Vega is viable. Oh and look at all the money rolling in from Ryzen and Threadripper, and hopefully EPYC soon, which has already boosted AMD's R&D budget. And oh look at all the consoles they're powering and the money that brings in.

But don't worry, you're not buying a new GPU for 5 years anyway so you have plenty of time to see Nvidia drip-feed overpriced tat, AMD get decent high-volume mainstream competition going with Navi and Intel completely fall on their GPU ass once again.
 
I'll buy a 2080RTX when there is a game I really want to play that will need the power.

There is no games that have been announced recently that use ray tracing right?

So I cant see a 1080 being a slouch over the next year or so.

Metro:Exodus will use RTX apparently and Nvidia have released an improved AA method which uses it:

Well maybe next time AMD has a nice competing card you all might want to consider buying it to support them, instead of just going Baaaaaa and following the rest of the sheep.
Er... maybe thats not a good thing to say seeing as whats in my pc but meh anyway :p

AMD was making great GPUs for 6 years on the trot, covering top to bottom with Nvidia struggling.
Did YOU bought an AMD card then?

AMD has competitive products right now as we speak. Their lineup bellow the GTX1080Ti is better than the Nvidia offerings on all segments, yet you still cry that AMD is not competitive? (and I am not going down to HDR and DX12 performance differences)

You know being "high" all the time isn't good for your health.

Serious question, is a vega 64 better than a 1080 in regards to everything? (performance/noise mainly)
I'm looking for a new card and not sure whether to hedge my bets on a vega 64 now.. simply because freesync is everywhere.
 
CAT-THE-FIFTH said:
Me too,but if doesn't run OK on my GTX1080 then I can play it in a few years when I get a faster card and when the game probably gets patched to run better. Luckily for PC gamers,there are plenty of games out there.

It will run more than OK. It will just me a switch to turn Ray Tracing on in the game settings that will have to remain off.

It'll just be extra eye candy. Icing on a cake.
