Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

melmac said:
Who cares? The Titan brand has been the biggest bait and switch of the last few years. It has never been worth the money over the Ti. It's sole function was to allow Nvidia to raise the prices of the other cards and have people go, "oh look the 1070 is as fast as the last generation Titan worth £1000"

And besides, they are moving the Titan Branding to the Prosumer market, so I imagine the next Titan card will be £3000+ just like the Titan V.

It did push up the range for the cards with fully enabled GPUs though to a degree,so will the next TI be a fully enabled big GPU or will it mean the prosumer Titan will only get it??

Poll is a joke. These cards are going to fly off the shelves. As mentioned, most of those votes are probably phony anyway, or at best totally misrepresent the actual reality of the situation.

Yeah most likely. Plus, uninterested is probably far from the reality, too. If you're that uninterested why are you replying to the poll lol.

I totally agree. If no one pre-ordered and just have modicum of patience we would see prices tumbling down. That much is fact. If we just told Nvidia "NO". Even a week of slow sales would have them sweating and lowering prices. But those over in the pre-order thread just tell Nvidia we are happy to pay these prices. They frankly damage the industry for all of us. Just so they can e-peen and say they have the most expensive card. Even though they have no clue how it runs! sigh. A fool and his money are easily parted as they say.

I'm not sure many people's motivation is to have the most expensive card. There are always other, more overriding, factors!

Not sure there will ever be a time when you wont get people pre-ordering. Many do it to protect the price and decide later whether they will buy it or not. It is priced a lot higher than previous generations and the performance gain is a lot smaller than previous generations but a large enough number of people have still felt comfortable enough to put the orders in.

I think it is as simple as, "does it have the performance I want?" and "is it at a price I'm willing to pay for it?" At least that's the thought process I go through when I purchase most things. I suspect for most who pre-ordered it is a yes and yes. I understand the frustration though since it's not going to be that much of a higher performance gain for someone who already has a 1080ti or a titan card so it may fall down on the first point and it's significantly more expensive than the series usually is on release so if someone was already on the limits on their willingness to pay for it, that willingness is totally gone at this price even if they want that level of performance.

All the evidence says you are wrong. Die size, chip used and power consumption all point to it been the real 2080Ti. Whereas you have nothing only conspiracy theories, like Nvidia Spacing out the die to make it look bigger (laughable, do you realise how expensive this would be to do?) to them printing a false number on the chip(why??)

The 2080Ti IS the 2080TI, it's not a 2080 that's been moved up the stack.

Stop beating a dead horse, you are completely wrong about this, just accept it and move on.

Bloody hell, I agree with you again :D

Don't know. I am beginning to think that the Turing cards are more of a Tech demo, sort of like the Fury cards from AMD. So maybe we shouldn't read too much into anything with them, and that the 7nm cards are where the real story lies.

Asking gamers outside of this thread, just normal peeps you meet ingame if they are getting these you just get laughed at, way too expensive, steam survey backs up what most gamers are running >_<

Well we are part of Overclockers uk (forums) for a reason :p

But I’d imagine at the price most won’t be going RTX and instead probably will be going GTX (pascal).

Speculation, but I suspect this ^ is the case.

There's zero competition, so no need to hold anything back to beat AMD. Also, it's a proven process so they might have a high % of good dies.

I think/hope the main reason, is that 7nm is closer than we think. There's not enough time for a later TI release, so sell what they can now, before people start thinking it's best to wait.

I'm wondering whether I should prepare the popcorn for benchmark release day.

Either it's going to go really well.... or horribly.

It's going to be fun!

Which side will get the hump more? :D. I'd place money on those not able/willing to buy who are probably praying the reviews are bad. And we can be sure that no matter what the reviews conclude, some will still pull out info and put a spin on it to back their own case :D. I fear it'll be a replay of the last few week or so.
I'm tired of reading a lot of comments now and am actually looking forward more to those picking them up first and giving their actual user impressions than just the reviews.
Fingers crossed prices do drop a bit next year as one of the OCUK staff mentioned.

My only concern,is with the 80TI now pushed to £1000+ where will that leave the next Titan will a fully enabled chip?

Word is the 2080ti is the direct in line replacement for the Titan-XP, Nvidia aren't going to be making Titan branded cards aimed at gamers anymore they will only be prosumer ones now like the Titan-V (hence why they dropped the Geforce name from the Titan).
