Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

You see the big issue is even if reviews show the RTX2080TI to be 50% faster in normal games when compared to a GTX1080TI,at the current pricing its the same price/performance as Pascal.

So if the GTX2060 ends up being 50% faster than say a GTX1060 but is 50% more expensive,what is the point?? :(
 
You think it makes no sense that there would be people willing to pay 50% more to get a 50% performance bump?

.. were you born yesterday?
 
Techradar hands on review here.

Although not explicitly saying so supposedly they where able to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 4k at a mostly consistent 50-57 fps with RT on.

Or at least that's how I have interpreted what they have written.
 
Generation to generation you would expect greater performance at the same price. Plus the absolute price 1000+ is outrageous for a PC component. Wake up, turn down some settings, and spend the 100s saved on something sensible.

Actually it doesn't really make an awful lot of sense.

There were already faster offerings in the 10 series for people who wanted to spend extra cash on extra performance.

To make each generation more expensive than the last by an amount proportional to the extra performance is not the norm.

Normally with a new gen you get more for the same money, if you stay at the same "tier". And tier obvs means xx60 or xx70 (etc) brackets.
 
Hey I'm not advocating it as good sense. I just saying there will be people willing to buy it.

Never underestimate the "must have" faux prestige factor. There are always people with more money than sense going to buy these things.

These cards could be only 10% better, and still people would buy them just because they are the top cards.

So every time graphic cards raise by 50% over last generation, the price should be 50% higher?
If that was maintained since 2006, right now the GTX1080Ti could cost £260,500, as the 8800GTX in today's money inflation adjusted is £1000 and the power difference between them is 2605%.
Dont try to excuse Nvidia current pricing mate. You cannot.

The only thing I have against that is we expect improvements with time at the same price points. With Pascal gen being 2-3 years old.

This is exactly right on. Go by that model, we would be paying £30,000 now for a 1080 because it's 100x faster than a RIVA 2. Total malarky to think it's ok for nV to deliver the same performance/pound as 3 years ago.
 
They already had plenty of unsold 10xx as demand has peaked.

Even hype and holding back stock to create faux demand isnt going to widen the market over the handful of top end buyers (most of which just boast-post and prob have VGA cards in reality)

The problem is we have no idea WHAT the improvements are yet, other than the ray tracing shiny shiny! So we will just have to wait for benchmarks. Who knows... in a few weeks these discussions could take a very different turn...
 
interesting that the FE edittions are all clocked faster and have higher wattage. FE were the best buys with pascal, looks like it will again.
