Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

I tried going back to 1440p, couldn't do it. Once you go 4K, if you are someone who likes graphics and image quality, it is hard to go back. Been on 4K since 2014 and I just love how sharp my games look with such high PPI. These days games are being built with 4K assets which makes the difference even bigger.

As I am not into FPS games or any games that benefit from higher monitor refresh rate, I am not losing out on much either :D
 
I've made the mistake of going 4k so have no choice to buy the new 70 or maybe even 80.

Even 1440 looks a bit rubbish on my 40" TV despite scaling beautifully.

Agreed on all counts.
 
The 1170 is the card I'm interested in, hopefully it wont be to just too expensive, I'm reckoning I could go to £450 or there about, coming from a 970@1500MHz a 1060 isn't enough of a boost to seriously consider. I reckon the 1160 which will be coming latter could be 1070 or even 1070ti performance but even that will be a £300 card or maybe even more.
Either way I'm looking forward to the new generation, to see what they can improve on for my use at 1440p with Gsync.

Very low at 30-40fps should do it. About as much of an improvement on a 1060 that I'd expect.

Depends on the games. I would imagine a 1160 (assuming it will be at least 1070 performance) would be able to play around 95% of PC games out there at high settings.

Depending on the price and performance difference, I may even get a 1170 myself and then upgrade to 1180Ti after. At least the 1170 will not lose much value or any at all when the 1180Ti comes out. Just depends on if it will be around 1080Ti performance or not. If less then I will have to go for the 1180.
 
Why would they launch a successor to the current generation when there is no competition and no commercial pressure to do so? they own the market and sold more cards in the last quarter than ever before. it would not be good business, for Nvidia or their Stakeholders
 
Why do people never learn? The current GPUs still sell very well, there is no danger of competition, why would they release a new series right now? Might as well wait until either AMD makes a move (e.g. a 7 nm Vega shrink) or until sales start to dry up and new products are needed to freshen up the market. In the mean time they can focus on other business ventures and products. Naivety at its finest.

When Intel were in the same position they did release on a fixed cadence for a few years but even then it was just die shrinks and very minor improvements, nothing like the 20-30% bump people are expecting from the GTX 11 series. They were essentially product refreshes, a bit like if nVidia were to rebrand existing 10 series GPUs as 11 series with some minor clock bumps (as both AMD and nVidia have done in the past) but with no price drop (a la Intel).
