Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

TBF unless you are 4k gaming, currently is the first time there is no real need to upgrade, presuming you have a 1080ti. Have they even started shipping the 4k screens with greater than 60fps yet?
 
November looking like an increasingly good bet.

They'll still ben out before AMD's Navi, and they get to keep selling 10 cards (but to whom?)

And if navi is just 1080 performance but cheaper all then there will be little threat for what ever comes after pascal let alone the 1080ti and its replacement

Plenty of people would be still after 10 series cards even if new ones come out. nVidia doesn't have to do big leaps so the old cards will still be good, if priced right.

PC gaming is really quite "meh" at the moment.

Not even any new hardware to get (really) excited about.

Meh. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.
 
My thoughts exactly.

It's a bit of a double edged sword, really. People complain (and I don't mean you) about £600 GPUs but it seems those same people want to upgrade every year. So what's better, a card at £400 every year or a card at £600 every four years?

For 1080p gaming (the most common resolution) there's been no "reason" to upgrade since the 980 nearly 4 years ago. Moving into higher resolutions, the 1080 has been knocking out an easy 60fps for two years and still going strong. The higher refresh Ultrawide space is now catered for by the 1080ti with relative ease. All of this is now achievable on a single card, too.
