Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread
- Thread starter Tommy_Here
- Start date
In reality the AIB cards aren't going to be cheaper than the reference cards. They never have been.
Expecting it to be a few % faster than a non-Ti 1080, and considerably slower than a 1080Ti.
It is all about leather jacket reflections...

Officially stated another two weeks. Hoping much sooner! It is a stressful wait.
Clown cards were. And Jetstream

You have a super-charmed life if waiting for benchmarks is stressful...

I have no graphics card currently and am not a fan of the blindfold buying is all.

Christ, just read this: https://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/3356-die-size-nvidia-rtx-2080-ti-evga-xc2-ft-der8auer
RTX 2080ti - 770mm^2 die size.
No wonder the prices are high, that is an absolutely huge die and will cost a fortune to fab.
Can't find what the RTX 2080 die size is yet, but assuming more of the same.
Seems insane to increase the die size that much for Tensor/RT cores that will mostly be dormant. I'll put a solid bet that a GTX version will be released without the extra Tensor/RT cores, as it could save ~150mm^2 of die space...

I suggested this quietly a while back.
Why not have an 11xx range. Keep the 1xxx for the standard evolution and the 2xxx for the evolution of the rtx revolution.
I suspect this is at least on the cards.

I presume ocuk dont do pre orders of the founders 2080ti? I dont really like the look of many of the others and it seems there is quite a price jump in any nicer looking cards compared to a reference/founders card. The founders to me is actually quite a nice looking card this time around but the issue is that the 2080ti is sold out on pre orders with nvidia and i want something similar without breaking the bank.
I do like the strix 2080 non ti (always like the strix design), but that is almost the same price as a 2080ti so i just cant justify that at all.
Perhaps ill go for the 2080 instead?
My main focus is to game with a solid 60fps at 4k more than anything else, the ray tracing (for now) is just a side feature to me.
I dont know how well the 1080ti stacks up against a 2080 non ti because ive been stuck on a gtx 970 for many years now and i havent had or used a 1080ti for testing 4k/60 to see how viable that is itself but i really want a comfy, future proof, 4k/60 gpu (if there is such a thing with this new lineup?).
I specifically use a large samsung 4k hdr tv for gaming and the panel is 60hz, that is why i am quite specific but i fear that these are going to be very close to 10 series pascal performance with a slight boost but mainly add a premium for the ray tracing feature.

Huge opportunity for AMD here to come in with lower performance but much cheaper cards. It looks like the Intel situation again. If only they can do a Zen in the GPU space it could really bring affordable performance to the masses. Solid 144Hz at 1440p and below for <£500 would be enough, ideally £300 for 1080p users.
There's not enough people using 4k atm to worry about. I'd let Nvidia have the 4k halo product crown and all the expense of developing card for it.
Looking at the state of the economies in the West and rising personal debt/stagnant wages. It's much more important to hit the right price points with sufficient performance than be the fastest. You only have to look at Ryzen sales to see that.
The heat from this massive GPU, will be reflecting the RGB lighting....
