Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread
- Thread starter Tommy_Here
- Start date
Is it me or do all these cards seem to have beefed up cooling compared to pascal? Even the reference cards have beefed cooling. Seems like what i was predicting pre launch. Not on the forum but to my self just because of what i think this gen actually is.
They do, to be fair though the reference cooler had done nothing but hold the cards back in terms of performance. They reached the limits of a single blower fan a while back but still continued to use one. About time they made the change.
Variable rate shading sounds like an improved and slightly different idea to HiAlgo Boost - IIRC the person/people behind it were hired by AMD and worked on Chill. The idea was to lower resolution of the game when movement was detected, from memory in HiAlgos case it was linked to inputs. I remember spinning around fast in Skyrim and having the game render at a lower resolution until I stopped.
It's definitely a cool idea, and from watching that DF video, IMO ray tracing is the least interesting thing - though cool none the less - they've said. It'd be interesting if AMD could use a similar way to detecting fast motion to aid their Chill function.

If true that would be enough performance for me to jump I reckon. I need a new base system too at this stage though!
It was a recent email that I got, only a couple of days ago too, so I suspect it is in date. I guess the delay mostly affecting those who bought founders edition, probably as they gave their available supply to all the reviewers lol.
Yea that's true but i just find it odd how everyone seems to have beefed up the cooling. The 2080ti has two 8 pin connectors too vs the 8+6 last gen. This makes me think that the reference spec is closer to 300watts vs the 250watts last gen. Might be why everyone has beefed up the cooling?
That’s my thinking too. I’m assuming that 20XX is almost like a beta (not in a bad way, calm down pre-orderers
). They’ll leave the mid/bottom end empty to shift old stock (Its not like AMD are murdering that segment of the market), and use the top end to develop and improve the new technologies they’ve laid the groundwork for (banged on about). Two to three SKUs is cheaper to market, package and distribute too.My guess is that the wait for Nvidia 7nm won’t look anything like what we endured during Pascal.
It all seems really odd. AMD news? Driver optimisation? Eeking out higher clocks? Working with specific developers to improve performance? Like you said, they want these out as fast as possible while people are still hyped enough to drop £1200 on a GPU; the delay is surely for good reason.

My email from them arrived weeks ago!
Well that's crap for a new card.
Deuse hugs his titan x
true maybe its DX11 games that sucks at, anyway ill be keeping my 1080ti a while longer

Because it's faster than Titan V?
If those memory figures are VRAM then the card seems to be VRAM-limited.

Nice that's it's faster than a T-V in gaming, the only caveat being that the Titan is clocked quite conservative and a lot more can be gotten out of it. Other than that I likey

No, because it was less than half price of both. And under water it clocks high
Ah, ok. So is and does a 1080GTX, performance still looks promising compared to Titan V if the results are legitimate.
yep its beating that card you spent 3 months 'tuning'
^^ don’t feed the AMD troll mate.
Really need to wait for proper reviews.
I looked at NVidias own performance claims for the 2080 Ti and in the synthetic tests (which can only be run one way) like Time Spy Extreme and Cyan Room my Titan V was quite a bit ahead.
As pointed out above the Titan V is a big overclocker whereas the 2080 Ti probably already close to using all its potential.
All will be revealed when the reviews arrive and we also have plenty of game bench threads where 2080 Ti owners can post their scores.

I think it's well known that all AMD users really don't mind fiddling with their cards and voltages, and none of them just want to plug it in and play some games....
