Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Does look very much like the 20 series was meant for a smaller node. Add the cost of an aborted node shrink to the on going cost of adding RTX support (just another Gameworks extension) to each title, and you realise the price does not appear too bad after all.

I've unfortunately been in-flight for the past day so just reading the reviews... Disappointed!

Serious question: how exactly do I go about cancelling my preorder here?

Go look at my forum posts I never claimed such things. I always maintained the 2080 is only 5-10% higher than 1080ti which is in line with benchmarks???

Which is fictional disinformation, all the reviews I’ve seen (and I even just read the OC3D one, showing the 2080 and 1080ti as nigh on identical, it’s more like 1-2% either way at best depending on the games.

And if you want to see them running within 1-2% of each other in real time over a variety of games:-

Well looks like being an early backer paid off. Gigabyte 2080 arriving to replace my 3 year old 980ti tomorrow. Card bought at £715. Currently selling for £799. Cheapest non blower 1080ti £640. £75 premium for DLSS, probably performance increase with mature drivers and being a Ray Tracing beta tester. I've had worse upgrades.

But lets face it. Nobody wins with this gen.

Sell me your 980ti for cheap and then at least one person has won this generation :D

Same thing (I thought, but I'm not in finance). If it costs them $500 to manufacture I'd expect them to be looking for 100% markup/margin.

Markup and margin are quite different.

If I make something for £50, and sell it for £100 then it’s a 100% markup and a 50% margin. Not being a pedant, it’s just a thing that’s good to know.

Anyways, I was just one click away from spending £700 on an EVGA 1080ti SC2, but then i just thought “this is madness, I’m spending £700 on a part that has been superseded; it’s old tech. Just because I’ve been mind-****ed into thinking that’s a good price”. Well it’s not, and I’m going to wait this out.

If I have to wait until Navi and Intel’s offering are both on the scene then so be it. And if games start to run badly and I’ve exhausted my library of older titles, then I’ll dust off the PS4 and play some exclusives second-hand. I’m not going to be brainwashed into thinking this is all a good idea when, for me at least, it’s absolutely not.

cards like 2080ti are for 4K users.
anyone else better off with a 1080 or ti.
the 2070 might be worth it but the 2080 seems dead in water unless you really want dlss/rt
 
The fact that OCUK still has actual stock for purchase of the 2080, the day after launch, is very,very telling.

That sure as hell didn't happen with the Maxwell & Pascal launches.

2080Ti have similar powerdraw as Vega 64 but it has insanely better performance so that analogy is bad.

It wasn't an analogical comparison of GPU performance, it was an analogical comparison of equally performing coolers on equally power drawing cards to highlight the failing of the new reference cooler (compares to the AIB coolers, not previous reference coolers).

Right chaps, let's keep this on topic.

We've already had to delete a load of off-topic posts and I don't want to lock the thread.

Will see what the titan brings (if released), as a 1080ti owner this release offers me very little.

I'm sure we wont see Titan... Just look at Die size of 2080ti that would be same chip as Titan and Maybe 10% fster for extra 300 pounds :D

I'm sure I read somewhere that Nvida said it was meant for 10nm originally. Would explain the HUGE dies (2080 being bigger than 1080ti etc I Think the RTX "Products" are great, performance in the old while trying to push something new at the same time but the huge prices puts a massive damper on it.

I wonder how much performance is held back by power
 
So from joker's video the 2080 is about the same performance as the 1080ti but the 1080ti was 80-100mhz slower running just over 18xxmhz while the 2080 was 19xx. Welp if the 2080 can only hit roughly 2ghz then the 1080ti is still going to be faster.
