Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Fair points, but at some point, not many will buy "everything" out there and instead of dropping close to $1k or more just on the GPU, will go with 2-3 consoles instead - maybe buying the mid end of that gen and keeping it for quite a while (which is ok, but not wow). Again, this not about the guys that have this as a big, main hobby, is about average Joe.

Also, don't forget when you count those GPU figures, there were periods of GPU sales that went into mining, not gaming.

I looked at 10 years worth of data for both - consoles were 80m in 2008 and decreased every year to 2017 it was anout 45m
GPU's over the same period were between 10-12m per quarter with very little variance till the last few months which were 15m per quarter now back to 12m per quarter for the last one. GPU sales haven't dropped basically at all once you flatten the "mining" months, where as console hardware sales have basically halved over the same period.

Wether you like it or not consoles are loved by millions of people. I like and play my PS4 and Xbox as well as my PC.

What I think about consoles is totally unimportant.

I simply stated I have no interest in them, this is a personal choice and no reflection on whether I think they are good or bad.

Irrelevant, game devs target the common hardware of the main consoles which are on the market at a certain point. That's my point, they go for the bigger piece of pie: all the consoles + all the PCs with HW up to that performance area or in the neighborhood. How many truly groundbreaking games have we had lately? All are build on what you can achieve on console like hardware. You spend the extra $ for the extra resolution and FPS, not better and greater gameplay. :(

I'm still using a CPU that's almost 8 years old now and a GPU almost 5 years old, still gaming fine in 1080 or even above, depending on the game.

Game devs still have to produce different code for each console and also there are games exclusive to particular consoles.

This makes the PC part of the market by far the biggest segment.
 
Oh dear. The 2000 series sounds like an AMD Bulldozer moment for Nvidia.

The only good news is that it gives more life to the 1000 series and those already with 1000 series cards get more bang for their buck and at least another years use out of it.

Come back next year for the 3000 series and see if they have made RT feasible at resolutions people game at scaling up to 4k.

don't mention bulldozer when ive just purchased a new card hehe …. god youll make me have a wee cry.
( only because I purchased that failure too :p )
 
tbh chip wasn't bad had it been a couple years earlier and not up against sandy and diddnt need its own nuclear plant :p , ock I just want something new if im honest. stick a grand on a polished turd and someone somewhere will want it .

thankyou haha . well as a soon to be owner as said ray traced turd , im gonna be polishing it all I can :D... everyone who preordered is a fool , self included. but lets face it had i not have a love for this stuff . id be a junkie. addication is addiction
 
Everytime Nvidia try and justify the 2*** series, i can't seem to get this image out of my head.

If the level of absurdity continues with these monkeys, it would make you want to put PC gaming on hold until the Steam hardware survey shows Nvidia's GPU market share at 50% or below.

Some seem to be ok with it, which makes matters even worse.

So whoose psyched to pay anything up to £1,500 to play a few games at circa 30-40 fps at 1080p?

Further question how many people who are going to spend anything up to £1,500 on a GPU have a monitor that natively supports 1080p?

Most people in the market for a new 'ti' card (let's ignore the price for the incoming cards for a moment) would likely have a QHD monitor, wide 3440x1440 montiors of 4k montiors with 60hz refreshes rates. The first two are going to have interpolation issues (and potentially unused screen space for the wide monitors) .. I suppose at least the 60hz refresh rate on thoose 4k montiors won't be an issue when you not often exceeding 60fps..

I suppose you could give Nvidia even more money and buy one of the eye-wateringly expensive high refresh 4k monitors with a gsync module so you can play games without RTX that occasionally get the benefit of the faster refresh rate whilst scaling back to 1080p and often sub 60fps for the RTX stuff . .....

But I can't help feel that the smart money even for 'enthusiasts' (who don't have silly money) is to save their pennies, hopefully see AMD come up with something on a smaller node that's far more compretive then their current offerings, performance wise. Wait and see what Nvidia are doing at around this time and make the choice then.....

The amount of bovine waste matter that has accompanied this release has I think hit new heights. From a product reveal where they didn't really talk about performance in any currently available titles to claims that the Pascal lineup (especially at the high end) has almost 'sold out' because Nvidia don't have any pascal chips left ... . When this seems to be mostly because they have forced AIB's to take large shipments of pascal chips rather late on in its product life cycle
