Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[Tommy_Here]

So if it's around 50% faster than the 1080 it's about 15% faster than the 1080 Ti Not worth it. We've waited since March LAST YEAR to get a card approx same price at launch (maybe more expensive the 2080 is) for an additional 15% performance what garbage

Look's like the slides are official after NVIDIA got upset about the RTX performance complaint rumors:

If TR was running at 1080p in that demo i have to laugh, everybody noticed the frame rate dips or whatever but nobody mentioned that it didn't look sharp. And some people say 1080p is a low/potato resolution, shows how much rubbish some talk.

 

[RavenXXX2]

So much for the 2070 being faster than the 1080ti.

Hmm, metal shroud over the FTW3? New power control for ICX sounds interesting. As others said, not keen on the clear shroud. I despised them on the ATi cards. They were hard to clean with rocket blowers, air cans and brushes. You could never get it immaculate because you coudn't reach every spot and that drove me nuts.

3 slots becoming normal now?

Anyone know why it’s called Turing compared to Maxwell, Pascal, Fermi, Volta? Is it to do with Cryptography?

Alan Turing

Pro gamers/tournaments is 1080p/240Hz. Potato?

Only needs to match it imo to take sales away from it, but possibly won't even do that in some scenarios (til nVidia get around to driver gimping).

Alan Turing

Yes I know who he is, but it is a change in nomenclature from previous generations when there’s still: Faraday, Eddison, Marconi, Coulomb, Ohm and so on.

 

[Skynet5]

Alan Turing

The man!

Check out the Turing Trust.

Shame Nvidia is using his name tbh.

 

[FloatingPoint]

I’d suggest Blinn, Phong or Gouraud would have been more appropriate than Turing for RTX, unless it is Turing for another reason?

I didn't see the demos but, the web sites that discussed said they didn't look sharp at all.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

I knew i was dreaming about everyone absolutely slating Nvidia.

 

[Panos]

deleted, someone else posted the same benchmark

This all seems like smoke and mirrors to confuse people and drag out the release of exact performance figures. I'd imagine the driver team are working overtime to get more performance before third party sites start reviewing it. Forgetting the price, there's a number of things about this launch that just don't sit right.

 

[AlphaOne]

So if the 2080 is 50% faster than 1080, then I suppose the 2080Ti is also 50% faster than 1080Ti.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Pro gamers/tournaments is 1080p/240Hz. Potato?

Pro gamers are not playing single player immersive games. They’re competing to win and just need smooth high FPS, not the immersive and engaging high quality experience a lot of us seek.

So indeed, potato.

Edit: PPI/Screen size also something to consider.

 

[Vega]

Yes, appears the 2080Ti is pretty beastly and should be 10-15% faster than a Titan V.

I would have thought the nomenclature change is related to the significant push AI is getting in this architecture.

At what settings though? Simply saying 4k HDR 60hz is still not painting the full picture, that could be with tons of stuff turned off

Actually Nvidia starts with a deficit on 4K HDR gaming

And also this is the Titan Xp

What I cannot get, why using Gsync drops the performance!!!!!!
