Wow, if the GTX 1170 is faster than 1080ti I may just get that, considering the fact that the prices are going to be atrocious.

I don't think it will be though.

I will be waiting for the EVGA FTW cards

Even if the 1170 is 5% slower than the 1080Ti when both at stock speeds, a £300-£400 price reduction for that level of performance will make it a great card.

I personally expect the 1170 to match the 1080Ti, but performance to be imperceptible in a blind test.

I reckon the 1170 will be slower than 1080ti, but as you said good value etc.

@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 love my MSI Armor 1080. The fans are pretty quiet and no coil whine or anything else. I'd recommend one.

Also love how I'm just four screws away from having perfect Kraken and AIO compatibility on the Armor and Gaming X cards

Strong chance I'll consider the Armor 1180 if the cooler stays similar and the 1180 tdp is at least 20% lower than the 1080 Ti.

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

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

Sound good.

Damn it, I clicked the link...

Getting excited about the 1180. Titan Xp beating performance for much cheaper, using the latest tech, running cooler and quieter :drool:

Still gonna be circa £700 though...

Will likely be under £700, probably closer to half the price. Will be faster, will be latest tech, will consume less power, will generate less heat, will be less noisy. Not good enough for you?

You think the 1180 is going to be closer to 350 than 700? hah

Aretak · 20 May 2018 at 00:35

There's no chance of the 1180 being any less than £600 at launch. The 1080 is still £500-600 depending on the model and that's almost two years old. It'd be no surprise at all to see it be higher than £600 either.

Litmoose · 20 May 2018 at 03:12

my guess £900 at launch, no chance of pricing it lower than the 1080ti

No, have you read message he quoted? Or did you just jump at the opportunity to make a smart comment?

He means half the price of the Titan Xp, it wasn't 100% clear tbf.

What happened to the days of £300 being an expensive GPU?! AMD need to pull their finger out for all our sakes

AMD aren't in a position to save anyone, they're too busy trying to save themselves atm!

Yep, it's all our fault for not buying AMD when they were competitive. Well I did, having purchased a 6850 and 290x.

295x2 was my last AMD card, used to be a cracker but then Crossfire support went down the toilet and I've not looked back! Tbf SLi support generally went down the same toilet 15-18 months later...

A single powerful card + Gsync = Nirvana :cool:
