Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Likely just a flag because it is a large purchase haha.

No. I had this despite my having 2FA with the bank and it's because OCUK and other computer e-tailers are known fraud concerns.

Never thought of this, is this for sure? If we will be forced to use GeForce Experience if you want all the features of the 20 series, it would be another tick in the negative column for me.

Can I ask why? I've stuck with Geforce Experience simply because it's easy to use and a nice place to manage drivers along with recording capabilities.

I bought a 1080ti. If the 2080ti is awesome I'll buy that too and use the 1080ti as a door stop.

Why the stress?
Lol

Course you can mate.

I’m a bit tin foil hat when it comes to extra software. It’s also another thing to collect telemetry, load at startup and sit in processes. It’s also a principle thing for me, I don’t like being forced into running software, and having a specific user account that ties me to data.

I don’t doubt there could be a small app that could handle the AI, or it could be done in drivers / Nvidia panel. Just feels to me like another push towards Experience for everyone, which I feel they’ve been doing for a while.

I don’t tend to update GPU drivers unless there’s a reason, either. Though I don’t necessarily think that’s good practice. I don’t record so no incentive there.

I appreciate for most people it’s not a problem, and I’m probably in the minority.

Who needs financial responsibilities, amirite?

GeForce Experience is good for me. Handy for recording as and when I want, runs quietly in the background and I don't wear a tin foil hat.

But Gregster that is the point, GeForce Experience has recognized that you don't wear a tin foil hat, and duly taken the appropriate steps not to bug you and to go about its business quietly behind the scenes, without you having to worry about it at all.
But of course if you did wear a tin foil hat then GeForce Experience would take the appropriate steps to ensure you had sleepless nights, angry fits and temper tantrums, persuading you to put a bit of tape over your web cam lens and regret buying the card in the first place and not forgetting the piece of software you just clicked OK to accept and install.
Goodnight folks sleep tight.

NVIDIA claims GeForce RTX 2080 is ‘built to overclock’

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-claims-geforce-rtx-2080-is-built-to-overclock

Turing has better and cleaner power delivery, more power headroom and overclocking headroom, lower temp and much quieter fans than Pascal.

Cant wait to see samples photos, unboxing videos and read Turning architecture whitepaper later today.

Don’t really get your post fella, though I appreciate it’s in jest.

For me, I don’t want something installed unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s no mistake that data is big business these days, and I’d like to retain a shred of mine, especially if I’m paying. I don’t have a Microsoft account tied to Windows. I strip a lot of the gubbins out of the OS (including Cortana and OneDrive), I disable a lot of unnesscessary windows services, block IPs and only the things that need internet access get it.

I’m not saying NV wants to gobble up my data or that Experience is some terrifying entity out for my zeros and ones. But I don’t need it, so I don’t want it. I don’t want it forced upon me, that’s all

Good job nobody is forcing you then isn't it.
Either don't install it, or don't buy a card that needs it, if that is the case, as we don't actually know if it is or isn't yet.

Are all the aib 2080ti's using the reference pcb? I'm tempted now but need to watercool

I am taking the above with a pinch of salt. Even if the article above is 100% accurate it does not mean the cards will actually clock any higher than Pascal.

We had Pascal cards like the 1080 Ti Kingpin with much better power delivery than the Founders Edition but did not overclock any better.

 

[JediFragger]

Being 'built to overclock' and actually overclocking at a decent level are two entirely separate things!!!

 

[fastboy]

the pascals overclocked great..then you hit the powerlimit wall unless you shunt modded,heck my 1070 was powerlimiting at stock clocks.

Interesting, I saw something yesterday (can't find it now) where the TDP's for the founders edition cards were listed as 10W more than the AIB versions which I thought odd. Probabaly a pinch of salt required also at this stage.

No it wasn't, it was the difference between the reference cards and the founders edition. 2080ti showed 260W TDP foe FE and 250W for reference

It's a speculation thread, someone brought it up, so I speculated. That’s kind of the point

I’m not buying one, though this is not the reason. Do you think it would be fine if we were forced to install Experience to fully utilise a $1200 card?

If you’re buying at the top end, and one of the two big technologies that are apparently justifying the ludicrous price, if true then ‘force’ seems appropriate to me.

Have you pre-ordered one? I’ve noticed that some of those who have feel the need to deride anyone who posts a negative comment

 

[Gregster]

5 days til benchmarks and then we can put speculation to bed. I hope my MSI Gaming trio isn't too far behind. Super excited in truth but more to try out RT. DLSS is also something I will be taking a close look at. Shiny shiny.
