Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Was just on their site my msi has gone up to bear 1400 notes this is really bad was really looking forward to my new card .i wonder what the difference would be with the cheaper ones ...


The cheaper ones will have a worse cooler and clocked lower (apparently). Avoid those blower versions like the plague if you intend on using air cooling.
 
£499 and slower than a 1080 I bet

Looking at the specs on the 2080 review on TR, it looks like it wont be much faster than a 1070, I think it may possibly hit 1070ti or 1080 levels if the software optimisations work well, the rumours that the lower cards are going to have much lower boosts than the top 2 cards might end up been true.
 
I’d be very surprised if SLI 1070Ti’s were anywhere near a 2080Ti. Are they really?

If they scale well, yes. Remember that 2080 Ti is only 20% to 30% faster than a 1080 Ti. The problem of course is 'if' they scale well, which is a big if. You could make same comparison with 1080 non-Ti in SLI. Personally I prefer single card solutions, but at £1,400 for the 2080 Ti, I just think it needs to be recognised as an option because the poor value offered here.

You said 1070Ti which is not going to equate to the same performance and the 2080Ti is not £1400... £1049 would be the starting point.

Problem is it's hardly supported. Far Cry 5 despite being Sli ready was giving me something stupid like 15% boost with two 1070 Ti's . Both cards were being utilised but around 55% each only. At some point either a game update or driver update ruined Sli.

2080 Ti all the way tbh if someone needs/wants that level of performance. And the nice looking ones are £1099, if they're ever available again :).

just watched a shadow of the Tombraider benchmark on Youtube 2 1080 ti's in SLI 20 fps faster than a 2080 ti at 4k might just buy another 1080 ti better than spending 1400 Quid.
 
Ha! We won't see it that cheap! FEs seem to be the base price on the other RTX cards and the 2070s cost £570! Anyone buying this would likely be better off putting an extra £30 together and buying the 1080ti.

Given current exchange rate the 2070 FE looks £599..... My GTX1080 was cheaper, and the GTX1080Ti Xtreme cost me £650 last year.....
