Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

So 2080 at 50% more performance than 1080 will put it around the level of the 1080Ti. That would require a big improvement in shader performance.

Pascal (vs Maxwell) did it through brute force with higher clocks.
 
Adore theory that the 1080 might have been benched at 4K HDR along with Gsync which tanks performance on the 1080 to make the 2080 look better.

Also Wolfenstein 2 uses FP 16 that Pascal lacks.

Get ready for Gimp'd pascal drivers.

Looks like the theory is as follows for Non Ray Traced Games:
2080 will only be around 50% faster if the following is true:
1. Use HDR
2. Use 4K resolution
3. Use Gysnc
4. Throw in some FP16 games for good measure
5. Perhaps some gimp'd pascal drivers

Wallah 50% performance improvement.
The way its meant to be played.
Slow claps
 
The issue is even if the RTX2080 is 30% to 35% faster overall over the GTX1080 under 4K,without HDR,the issue is AMD does not have anything to compete even with that.

If this has been ATI,they would have had a response,ie,like when the GTX200 series came along at a big price for the era,and ATI undercut it massively with the HD4000 series.
 
As usual Nvidia will show you the best case scenario (AMD does the same). I will wait and look at many reviews before passing judgement on Turing.

Hopefully Gregster does a review also, would be interesting to see how it compares to his 1080 Ti :)

Hardly any of us agree with AMD stern decision. But they, just like Intel, appear to be waiting for 7nm. I would be happily surprised to be wrong for a 12nm Vega refresh. But all signs point to 7nm. That's when you will see more about Radeon Rays 2.0.

He’s a complete moron. If he knew how to speak let alone write English, the whole basis for his drivel falls apart (although we know how technical marketing can be). You’d use double colon here to say it’s twice as fast, or x2 1080 in this case. You can’t use it to express an object without context.

Alreet guys how’s it gooin.

Well since AMD is essentially not going to compete with the Nvidia line-up for a while(it seems),I suspect they cannot really annoy Nvidia since they can cut off samples,and there won't be anything AMD on the GPU side to make up for it!
 
So many insults, truth hurts? I can understand him perfectly well.

Stick to hardware unboxed, gamer nexus and adored tv for honest, bias free reporting on turing.
