Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

You need to keep up with the thread! This was posted last week :D

Scaremongering? Doesn't it depend on the actual delivery date the person was given? Some seemed to be pushed back a fair way. Also it would be easy enough to send a card back unopened.

Pretty straightforward to refuse delivery isn’t it ;)

Keep praising Nvidia even when scamming you (970, hdr gcync?). You pay your pro Nvidia posts with your own pockets....

Better don your flameproof jacket fella; don’t you know it’s dangerous to be sceptical in these parts?

I think I’m a bit too emotionally invested in my hobby purchases. If I’m buying the most expensive mainstream graphics cards ever sold (by a pretty large margin) I’d want to be excitedly waiting for the delivery, not preparing to tell the driver to sling his hook.

Really looking forward to reviews now, it’ll be very interesting. I hope I’m wrong, everyone loves the cards and those who pre-ordered don’t end up telling DPD man to do one. Hobbies should bring joy, not dissapointed deliverymen.

I am doing penance for the previous Nvidia cards bought... (8800gtx,580, 780,1080,1080ti)
So any flaming will help improve my inner peace :D

Yup amen to this :)
And because for me at least is hobby, sold the 1080ti xtreme and bought a v64 nitro+. In three months had more fun tinkering the card (undervolting, overclocking, observing behaviour at certain temp points), than one year with the 1080Ti Xtreme, which was the most boring card ever from overclocking as hobby perspective

Not sure which is better. Enough people buying it to make a success of RTX, or nobody buying it in protest of the price meaning all Nvidia and AMD then decide to make are mid range parts capable of playing console ports.

I read that as it took you 3m to get the V64 working properly versus the 1080TI working out of the box. AMD engineering at its finest :p

Last hope is Intel gpu. Hate NV hate AMD even more so need someone new to hate haha.


Guess You have not played about with TDP hard wire mod on Pascal??

The card worked fine out of the box. The moment I spent 20 minutes with it, broke the GTX1080 @ 2190 performance without the card being maxed out running at just 1630 core clock, consuming 280W. :)
And lets not forget the forum we are in mate. If i want hardware for the sake of it without the ability to tweak and overclock, I have XboneX and PS4Pro. :)

NVIDIA: GeForce 1000 Series To Sell into 2019 - likely no RTX for Lower End Cards

the no rtx for lower end cards makes sense........ given how much of a job it is for the 2080ti i really could not imagine it being useful on a 2060 or below so it makes sense to me to not push the price of the card up / bork the yeilds by having it on there... esp as gamers on that part of the ladder are not going to be interested in ray tracing yet. i expect it will filter down to the lower cards next gen. hopefully they will still do the DLSS however (I have not read anything about no tensor cores on the lower end cards so i still have hope for that... if not then at the low end there really is not much reason to go for the 20x generation)

Point taken however i think many people overclock to get more value out of their product rather than just for the fun of doing it (though of course getting something for nothing IS fun in and of itsself so there is overlap)

however given a choice of a card which has performce of X out of the box, or a card which has the performance of X eventually but only after months of tinkering, at a similar price point..... I am taking the one which is least hassle personally.... (and by similar i mean i am happy to spend an extra £10 or £20)

i love the way the 10x cards automatically try to overclock themselves. sure it removes a bit of the "skill" in overclocking yourself but that would not bother me...... besides most of the 10x series can still be pushed a little more with some manual intervention.

i am still on maxwell.. and despite the card being mildly overclocked out of the box i lost the silicon lottery and cant hit the 1.5ghz that most gtx 980s can hit, so infact i have not bothered overclocking it for the last 3.5 years.

It sounds like your 1080 was also a loss on the lottery too... but i am sure not all AMD chips are created equally either.
(edit that said 2190 performance? i am no expert but that is a huge boost overclock isnt it?)

Yer, it is better to have a slower card and trying to eek out every drop of performance rather than having the faster card just bombing along. Makes perfect sense :D
 
"We've seen a fair split of excitement and criticism for Turing," Shah wrote, with some of the criticism being related to "aggressive" pricing and a lack of details on raw performance. "This lack of detail is compounded by a longer than typical embargo of independent reviews and benchmarking, which we expect will begin to publish during the week of 9/17, around the end of the pre-order period,"

Got my £750 ready. Just waiting on Nvidia to ship my shiny new 2080 now and am eagerly excited to see it spank the 1080Ti in gaming benchmarks. :D
