Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Even if they generated no heat whatsoever (not going to happen) their physical presence packed around the GPU would still act as insolation making cooling more difficult.

And yet you aren't blaming Nvidia for insulating GPU with frame around die trapping good insulator known as air in there:

Except with big enough surface areas/airflow contact with air doesn't cool much... Being very typical gas as good heat insulator.
While thermal conductivity of silicon is better than that of iron/steel!

And the longer distance away memory is the more power signaling consumes per transferred bit/bandwidth.
That's why HBM/HMC where invented and anything made for minimal power consumption favours integrating more memory into SOC if possible or then having it short distance away.

For same reasons Panasonic GH2 had DRAM memory chip package stacked on top of processor package.

Nearly 60 pages fellas..

..and not a single mention of anything credible as regards the GTX 1180.

Keep up the good work. :D

Haha it’s exhausting reading all this nonsense, yet I keep coming back every few days to see if there is anything on a new product. I have pretty much decided to give up waiting and get a 1080..
 
Although I agree that the possibility of a shorter PCB could have its uses, the fact that you still need a large heatsink and space for a fan, kind of negates most of the benefits a shorter PCB brings to the table.

Bottom line if you have a very small case for instance as part of a TV entertainment unit your choices are somewhat limited. A slightly down clocked high end card is still better than nothing.

My 780ti finally croaked the other night, so I'm on the lookout for a new card and was eyeing up the 1080ti but stuck my head in this forum (something I rarely do) to check for this kind of thread - should I hold fire on the 1080 and await a price drop and/or if this card will be similar price and amazing, or do we think we're still really far off from launch?

I've got an 19month old daughter so it's not a priority to replace the old card as my time is usually pretty well used off the PC :)
 
i feel ya mate. i have a 2.5 year old myself. it has had a huge negative effect on my available gaming time.

I still buy the same amount of tat i ever did, i just spend less time using it.

RIP 780Ti. If you have onboard graphics it's a good opportunity to play fun games that aren't graphically demanding. Something like Football Manager or old C & C games or something. I'm waiting for the new cards myself since January when my 970 died lol, but I borrowed a GTX 750 on which I can also play stuff like Fortnite.
