Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Little disappointing, what they showed so far. Looks like a fairly small overall improvement on the current quadros, with just a bunch of ray tracing stuff added in. Which is great if you're making the next avengers movie, but I worry that by the time they've implemented something for gaming its going to be another game works. Slightly prettier visuals, with a fairly big performance hit, and a huge performance hit if you're not running their specific ray tracing cards. And just like game works I have a feeling that most people will just switch it off, regardless of what card they're running.

It just shows that nVidia can't count either. We already know they can't count to 4(GB).

Hahahahahahaha.

It obviously has nothing to do with counting and all about marketing. This is why I was calling it 2080 last year and you was not having it :p;)

nice to see they have managed to fit 2080 in nicely with 20/08/2018 etc

can help but think if they stuck to Q1 roadmap and launched July- then it might of have 1180 name

they are an American company though so they wouldnt have considered 20/08/2018, to them that date is 08/20/2018 ;)

Roflmao. Most of the tech showed tonight, AMD has announced it since 2013 with the Hawaii GPUs!!!!!!! Hell AMD supports even sound rays since then also.

And all these AMD tech is open, anyone can use it even NVidia without strings attached. (even the new RadeonRays 2.0)
All the tech NV showed tonight is closed to their Turing GPUs only

Criterion? If Hawaii is Ray trace monster why and Pasca/Vega so poor in comparison.

Why do you think a lot of company's like to use closed standards which are actively worked on and supported rather than a "open" where some pushes it out the door and then becomes very hands off and "up to you now".
 
The rumours of 1180/2080 only 8% faster than 1080Ti are starting to make sense when you take a look at the difference in dies of the two architectures. A lot of the die space is dedicated to ray tracing by the time that feature is fully taken into games will most likely take another 2 years by that time much better cards would be out.

I think unless AMD manage to perform a miracle here they are about to be relegated to very low- low mid tier cards. They would need another 40% speed bump to VEGA64 to keep up with 1180/2080 if their estimated speeds are correct. Just don't see that happening even on 7nm unless they can add more processing units and cores for a bigger die, to me no matter how much lipstick you put on VEGA its not going to compete, they need something new. Its better for AMD to just concentrate on professional market and console gaming. Those i presume are so much more lucrative than anything they sell to us gamers. I think Sony have sold something like 80+ million PS4, so that is basically 80 million CPU and GPU they have sold.

I really hope another of these big companies starts to make GPU because i don't fancy paying almost £1000 for mid tier cards by NVIDA in few years time.
 
One concern I have with a new card is heat.

Things are OK thus far with the 1080 as it is quite efficient.

But I don't have a great case for airflow. So if these cards are hotter than the current gen.... I might be in trouble if I wanted to upgrade.

AMD proved with Ryzen they have it in them to turn things around. I am optimistic that one day in the future they will have a GPU competitive again.

I'm just not sure they can focus on both CPU and GPU at the same time.

Let's see how that translates to our consumer products :D
