Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

RyanWork2018 said:
How come some GTX 1080TI are still £1000 while others are £700 , is it just because of the cooler or the brand name ?

Bit of both, the Aorus, Strix and EVGA FTW3 carry a big brand premium, although I rate the FTW3 and Strix cooler more than the Aorus fan cooler. The Palit Jetstream/Gamerock are always in the lower price range but have very underrated coolers.
 
Question, will these be marketed appropriately in terms of MSRP? Meaning around $700?

Or will they go crazy and match the current market due to the mining industry snapping everything up. Forcing gamers to pay insane prices for GPU's?

My 980 ti is a little old in my brand new PC and I'm holding off on the new cards. But I'm wondering if it will be more cost efficient to try and snipe a 1080 ti upon release or shortly before as they start to flood the market.

Nvidia themselves seem to usually sell at MSRP but only FE SKU's and they sell out quick, elsewhere they sell based on demand usually and they will most definitely be shifting quick at launch so I imagine priced higher then MSRP initally.

I have never done this before so am ignorant.... however once a card is announced is it ever possible to pre-order to make sure you get an early batch?.

I know for a fact i need to upgrade and it is not like the 1180 is going to be worse than the 1080ti, and it is not like AMD have a competing product so one way or another i will be getting an 1180 regardless of if it reviews that well or not.

with this in mind if i could put my name down in advance for a decent branded 1180 before launch I would probably do it, even if it meant paying up front.

If you at all care about warranty, stay away from Palit. If you must go Palit make sure you buy it from somewhere with the best possible customer service too. I had a nightmare with Palit and crappy retailer I purchased from due to it being the cheapest not so long ago. Never again. Rather pay the extra £30-£40 and save the time and hassle.
 
@TNA Maybe that's why Palit are always so cheap!

I've actually grown pretty fond of the MSI Armor, which is also priced significantly lower than the premium cards, naturally because I've always rated the MSI Gaming Twin Frozr coolers. The big 100mm low speed quiet spinning fans means Armor does suffer big time on more powerful chips like the 1080Ti, fine on 1080 and below.

I don't think they will care that mining is taking a dip, they will just price them at around £650 for the 80 and £450 for the 70.

NVIDIA GTX 1180 Sampling June 15th, Custom Cards Due by August / September

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-gtx-1180-custom-cards-by-august-september/

GTX 1180 performance is faster than Titan Xp so GTX 1170 performance should be faster than GTX 1080 Ti.

Sound good. :)

Pinch of salt needed here.:)

wccftect are making performance claims yet they have not seen a finished card.

Pascal is a hard act to beat and the Titan Xp is a great overclocker, how will Turing do in the OC stakes?

The Aorus Xtreme cooler is absolutely superb. I have the 1080Ti Xtreme, and does an amazing quiet job even when heavily overclockled on warm room.

Respect your opinion mate, but when I had the Aorus 1080Ti Xtreme, although it was very quiet at load, the cooling capacity was very poor for me. I couldn't get the temps under control even at 80% manual fan (Still relatively quiet at that speed). Also, the factory overclock boost clock speed would crash while gaming, so had to use the standard mode.

Maybe I just had a dud but, because of my personal experience I'll never get a aftermarket on Gigabyte card again, unless it's the AIO Waterforce model - but it's never priced well and if the EVGA Hybrid is around the same price I'll always pick that one first.

You know there are 3 bios updates for this one, and the last one allows some pretty high overclocks.
