Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[five8five]

On the topic of DLSS, it feels a like NVidia have this great compute/AI silicon that they want to sell into the desktop GPU space and they're shoehorning something in that gives a mild benefit. My gut feeling is that the extra (multi-Billion) transistors would be more effective spent as compute units, ROPs, etc.

The whole AI thing is so hot right now though, so you've got to get it into the product cause buzzwords... Certainly wasn't the case when I used NN in my Thesis circa 2008, flippin' pain in the ass for mild benefit!

The slide released by Nvidia shows that DLSS gives much more than a "mild benefit".

Nvidia are making up to to 80% profits on 2080ti pricing.

I calculated 81.23%, actually.

Remind me - how did you come up with your figure?

Marketing. We shall see what the results are like.

It's also a great way to lock developers into closed source vendor specific "optimisations".

Is that based on hardware cost or hardware, development,advertising and business costs ?

Probably the same Chinese retailer received another large shipment of RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards from Inno3D.

One of the comments says 'In fact, it is the factory that produces the packaging box'
I certainly wouldn't stack any reasonably valuable new GPUs like that.

Ditto , certainly hope a 750 quid card I purchase isn't sat at the bottom

 

[fastboy]

yours is the special thin version right at the bottom

Not true, people posted the comments are clueless. People at Inno3D factory will not stack up boxes like this!

Look at the picture very carefully and you will realise in fact it is not the factory that produces the packaging box!

In fact it actually is the retailer, the staff wore causal clothes and the boxes are not empty.

PCPartner factory in Dongguan, China manufacturing Zotac, Manli and Inno3D cards, PCPartner factory employees wore white/blue caps and lab coats, they will not stack boxes on trolley so the boxes was flatted at production line then staff will fold up the boxes and put the graphic cards in the package boxes and place it in brown shipment cardboard boxes, sealed up and put document label on it ready for dispatch.

I certainly wouldn't stack any reasonably valuable new GPUs like that.

Yeah someone at Chinese retailer are reckless to stack up 96 boxes on trolley weight over 154kg which is heavier than American style fridge freezer are prone to collapse risking damage the cards, they should stack up 60 boxes on the trolley move to stockpile on shelves unless someone beaten Gibbo to take picture of 96 pyramid boxes in office.

I’d say they have them

it's ok, I tend to cheer on the underdog in most things.

it would help if the underdog had a competing product. This is why i stopped being a fanboy of the underdog. It has zero benefits and only gets you left a generation behind...

They look more like empty display boxes to me

Just another 8 days to reviews can’t wait

I like you.

I'm not sure of the full chain but when we get GPU shipments at work they come through on a Euro-pallet 5 or 6 to a box depending on market segment - someone has to put those things in the packaging and box them up before putting on a pallet somewhere along the line as well as split the multi-packs at some point at the other end.

AMD aren't the underdog. They're the toy the big dog chews up and throws around.

I like you.

yeah, his posts make me giggle too

I cannot imagine having a thought process that makes pre-ordering the new cards at current prices a good idea.

And I can't imagine someone more utterly and completely brainwashed by salty FUD spreaders. I have never seen a more dishonest level of ignorance displayed from an individual of this forum than what came out of your gob and I thought Melmac took the biscuit. How dare you call us RTX preorderers insane druggies!!@!@!@!!!

I cannot imagine having a thought process that makes pre-ordering the new cards at current prices a good idea. I literally cannot imagine a world where I would ever think that. There are no proper statements or benchmarks, and all rumours point to the 2080 being slower than a 1080ti, which can be had for £600 new at the minute.

I'm really not knocking anyones who's buying one, it's just that I would have to be either insane or under the influence of some seriously heavy duty narcotics to buy one. Literally.

This was my thought process: "oh they are releasing the new graphics card I've been waiting for for 2 1/2 years" after having that thought I went and pre-ordered a 2080ti. I haven't been sectioned yet or needed any narcotics to help thus far.
