Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Looking at it a bit more the only new tech which I think may have worthwhile value is DLSS.

But here is what I posted on a comments section on a review.

Here is my concern, this is not the first time nvidia have made a performance boosting fancy image enhancement tech. Their is history and history shows it doesnt last.
We have had CSAA
MFAA
and now DLSS
CSAA worked well when I used it but was obsoleted by MFAA so now abandoned.
MFAA is good but needs MSAA support in games, not many games use MSAA anymore, as FXAA and downsampling is favoured over it.
So my guess is DLSS will gain some limited traction but will be replaced by something else within 2 card generations.

It seems DLSS could be considered a much faster variant of SGSSAA in terms of the quality output it gives. But as always its going to depend on developers supporting it and its also a question of how long it will survive for given nvidia previous stuff like CSAA didnt last that long.

I play FF15 which is interesting as DLSS is been added to that game, however a 1080ti should solve my performance issues remaining in that game. The other titles known to be implementing the tech all dont interest me.

Spot on. Competition is seriously lacking and much needed. I expect OLED sometime in the future and like you, if AMD do a decent job on the next/or after GPU, I would have no issue going AMD and Freesync.

Never know mate, we may end up on Freesync monitor's, but not with AMD GPU's, but with Intel one's :p

To be honest I am starting to give up on the idea of OLED coming to monitors at this stage. Not heard of any rumors of any gaming OLED monitor even in the distant pipeline :(

Oh well, will more than likely be keeping what I have for at least 2 more years, so lets see what is what then.

Yep, shame its the same few people at it all the time as sometimes I wonder why they bother moderating.

Moderators tell people to be quiet and 5 mins later they start again.:D

Problem is Panos frequently repeats information that I'm pretty sure he knows is wrong or exaggerated but works for him because it is anti-nVidia and/or slips in half-truths along with other right information towards the same ends of smearing nVidia - I'm all for people having different opinions and supporting different companies but what he is doing has a good chance of potentially skewing people's purchasing decisions against their best interests and that isn't right.
 
Tbf Panos last 3 cards have been 1080/1080ti/Vega64. It's not just him that is getting sick of Nvidia. This round of cards has done wonders for Nvidia's image with a lot more people hopping on the anti Nvidia band wagon from what i have seen. So many more people thinking about jumping on the console wagon due to this. If only AMD had something decent to put out they would probably bag some decent sales if the price was right, although Vega ain't a bad option at current pricing and Freesync monitors are becoming more popular. The scene is set for AMD atm but i fear they are still not up to the task of taking this chance. Nvidia probably know what AMD has in the pipeline any how and judging by the prices of Turing it's nothing big any time soon.

To be fair, Ryzen came as a bit of a surprise to Intel and they probably thought they had a good idea of what AMD had in the pipeline.

AMD seem to be playing their cards very close to their collective chest right now, for whatever reason, good or bad, but they're certainly not beyond pulling the odd rabbit out a hat now and then.

Nvidia's current pricing is affected by so many different factors right now, including legacy stock of 10 series, cost of new GDDR6, enormous die size, respinning for a larger process than intended (if that's true), plus lack of competition and market dominance.

AMD probably wish they were a few more months ahead of schedule so that they could maybe capitalise on the current indifference to NVidia's latest creation but I have to believe that isn't going to happen until it's too late.

Part of the problem there was the abject failure of Intel's 10nm and their complacency towards their customers - if Intel had moved to 10nm on schedule or even on the delayed schedule Ryzen would have had an uphill battle.

Lol thanks :)
Honestly given the price of these things I think NV are pretty tight here not even giving us the package from their lower tier gear

People buying this are not price-sensitive, so they have nothing to gain by giving it to you for free. They know what they are doing and are ruthless at it.

The only reason most want AMD to be competitive is so that it forces Nvidia's prices down, not so that they have an alternative to buy.

Honestly, I see it again and again on these forums and it is the reason I believe AMD have no intention of rushing back to the high end GPU market.

Why would they want to? If all it does is give consumers a cheaper NV card to buy, why waste their money trying to compete if nobody intends to buy a Radeon GPU anyway?

Would have no issues buying AMD if the card was decent. Had all the brands in the past. Depends which card offers me the most value at the time I need to upgrade. No brand loyalty at all. :)

I see ocuk have stock of the Asus 2080ti dual card that has magically jumped up in price around £200 or so.

:rolleyes:

Actually looking at the card listings a LOT of the cards have jumped upto the £1400 mark despite being cheaper last week

The MSI and Gigabytes are also 1399 now. Typical OcUK really even bearing in mind the service is good it’s super gougy. Much higher than competitors now.

LOL even the bloody palit card is £1400 now.
