Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

I’ve give up now on this card if they have a good card they would have shown benchies. the way they haven’t showed anything is worrying
 
It’s only the Ti model that appears to have sold out if anyone is still interested in a FE card.

Apparently if you haven’t bought one yet it’s simply because you can’t afford it, nothing to do with them being overpriced and not as good as people thought. And their was me thinking they’re just priced at a ridiculous level.

does anyone really think they won't be significantly faster than last gen?

I suppose it depends on how you define "significantly"

Personally I don't think it will be as big of a jump from to 10 to 20 series as it was from the 9 to 10 series. (in normal gaming anyway)

i.e.

the 1070 landed somewhere in the ballpark of the 980ti performance and cost about £350 to £380ish for AIB cards

the 1080 performed about 30% faster than a 980ti and cost £550-£600 ish price


I can't see the 2070 performing as close to a 1080ti and it's going to be around and over £500

I can't see the 2080 performing more than about 10% higher that a 1080ti and it's going to be £600 - £700

So factoring in cost as well, the "bang for buck" is nowhere near.

I agree fully, anyways i am likely to skip out on this new generation to wait for these 7nm cards.

So yeah here is me like well i am going to buy a freesync monitor so i will wait for amd navi gpus to come out.

No, thats a strawman, obviously some people are never going to spend £500 on a GPU let alone £1000. There is a grayscale to the discussion, its not just a black vs white, its a great card or its crap deal.
 
I'm kinda stuck in the middle with a 1070,i could upgrade to a 1080ti or wait a few weeks see what the new cards are like.

I wont be spending £1k because I cannot justify spending that much even if it was 10 times faster than my 1070,its way above what I would be comfortable spending,hoping the 2070 is a decent chunk ahead of the 1070.

You’re right. It may just be a great card at a fantastically crap price.
 
From my pov 2080 is at good price point.
Looked at ocuk prices and cheapest 2080 is 25 pounds or 5% more than cheapest 1080ti.

So if someone wanted to buy 1080ti is there any rational rwason not to get 2080 instead?

He will have at least 1080ti performance plus THE GIGARAYZZZZZZ.

I also assume that 2070 is faster than 1080?? But not looked in to price differwnce.

Looks like MOST people are living in a dream that prices will go back to 2016 times when ram was sub 100 pounds for 16gb.
Well tough shot cause IT WONT HAPPEN due to global economy and how weak pound is nowadays.
Dreamers got 3 options.
1. Move to consoles
2. Stip whining and pay up
3. Come to various forums complaining about market pc is dying situation.

And looks like most went with nr3 option and they are thinking that it will change anything. Well they can keep on dreaming lol
 
Even if the GPU is 50% faster to last generation in rasterization which is what we have today and tomorrow. Raytracing is likely to take a year or two to get decent adoption/performance and I'm going to wait it out for the next generation unless someone sells one second hand at a great price (not likely to happen).
 
I think there's an air for some that feel cheated upgrading and not willing or unable to afford the top tier, this is untrodden ground for some time with a simultaneous three product stack. There's no reason to not wait for benchmarks and see whether the 2080 is worth it at that price point.

Actually option 1 is looking very appealing.

£400 every 3-4 years vs a new GPU every 1-2 years.


Jay is probably right in the vid where he said the 2080ti is replacing the titan in the stack but it's still crazy money in my opinion for a GPU. It's just a GPU seriously. This is a forum of enthusiasts though and we already spend more than we probably should on PC hardware or we wouldn't be here.

There has to come a time though when everyone draws the line and I can't keep paying £700 for a GPU when I don't feel it's value for money. Am I disappointed? absolutely I would have bitten probably at £500.

I honestly hope fewer people buy in because it's the only way we are likely to see prices drop. Nvidia are in the business of making money and as long as we keep paying the prices they wish to charge they'll keep charging them.

Shhhhh, you're supposed to quietly help create fomo and make them buy, not be so blatant about it :D.

If it were me, I'd be looking at the 20 series even if not able to stretch to the Ti.
I'm using a 1070 Ti and I'd rather keep to that than just buy another new 10 series. As good as they were/still are, even the TXP is 2 years old now - times are now moving on.
 
If a 2080 pees all over a 1080Ti, then I may reconsider. I always thought I’d need the next Ti for my 4K/60 needs as the 1080Ti wasn’t quite there.

Moving the price points as dramatically as Nvidia have is nothing but greed in a non-competitive market. Citing memory cost increases barely makes a dent in a product range that have increased in price between 50-75%.

its an early adoption tax.
7nm is when it will be decent
refuse to pay more than 400 euro myself for a upgrade gpu.
so I am not the target for a 1500euro card...

Does it? Any of the effects are barely noticeable in the vid unless people go out of their way to find something to look at, plus its hitching all over the place. Granted its still early to an extent but they're looking to have this out on launch day or soon after and this is the current state its in.
