Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Screams fake to me.

some aspects are true, the content in which its delivered could well be fake .

what I will say is true, is all AIB were unanimous with laying next gen cards , for once it showed power to AIBs but then its shadowed by time form FE to AIB designed cards - it costs the a fair bit in profits

sold my 1080 for a lovely 710 haha, now with every increasing leak or fake news or tall spin - should start to see influx or price drop

Thats recycling of the WCCFTech post.

Anyone who supports this is real I would like to remind you that the Bios on GPUs can be amended to display what ever card they want yes? As long as the drivers are compatible with the product code the string value can change and display even Vega 64 or "Panos" and run perfectly

This is a GTX1080ti with different Bios header value and takes 5 minutes to replace the name and flash the card with it.

Also the way 3dMark is working, it should display that the benchmark wasn't valid since the card product code should have been new and unknown at that point to the benchmark. It even does so on new drivers all the time for heaven sake.

Don't be that gullible.

No offence to anyone here, but I am beginning to question the point of this thread. 65 pages since May 8th, and in the end no news or launch yet, and when there is? so what?

1: it's only 13 pages, you need to turn man sized pages on in the settings (I don't think it's actually called that).
2: The brexit thread is at 386 (man sized) pages and that hasn't been revealed/launched yet either XD

Also late august wasn't the initial Nvidia event? What happened the end of July everyone was adamant will come out?

Exactly, they need the clicks :p

A legit place looks at a competitor like wccftech and thinks cor blimey, look at all the views and user interaction that place is getting. Clearly we are doing it wrong... Load up the click-bait fake news! :D

Makes me laugh though, as by doing this people are encouraging more fake news websites and burying the legit one's or at the very least stopping their growth.

phone calls from all AIB to nvidia before computex stating the same thing, delay launch for backlog to be cleared .
January > launch roadmap July> pushed back to August > (Personally thought it was pushed back again to September)
For once its not Nvidia who dictate the launch but AIB

Initially was December 2017, then January at CES, then early March at the game developer event, then April at another event, then May at Computex, then July, now August.

First was Volta, then Ampere, then Turing, next Tesla (oops forgot that exists :P ).
Nobody has an idea what they are writing.

This line of complete lies, at any other point of time those websites could have closed. Yet still they keep them as reputable sources.
I mean look at the 1170 leaks. Is just a damn GTX1080Ti with a name value changed in the BIOS. Still hundreds of people at WCCFTech, Guru3d and rest are commenting taking it as truth at face value. Even in here.

I miss the days when Nvidia and Intel would do events months before launch to discuss a new architecture. Then again AMD did so with Vega and look how that turned out.

Like I say if they keep guessing eventually they will get it right.

The Vega event if you remember had 2 parts. The company which is using Vega hosting for remote gaming (i do not remember their name), and the compute part.
Which to be honest for first attempt on compute GPU AMD pulled gold. Vega was selling like hotcakes for almost a year now, because it was great for mining and computing compared to Nvidia alternatives at the same price or higher points. The only card that can beat the Vega on computing is the Titan V a £3000 card.

All depends on the computing task ofc and from what I here customers of the pro cards when they have issues have been told to user gaming drivers as the pro drivers don't get updated all that often.

You above all people perfectly understand this. Especially when mid summer 2016 everyone was writing in here not to buy a 1080 and wait for the 1080Ti it will be coming out "next month" according to xyz source. The "next month" ended up 8 months down the line, hurting sales.

I believe was all media hype with the Vega 64. AMD was sober enough to show a Vulcan benchmark, and then two PCs with Freesync & Gsync.
Also you cannot blame a whole company til the end of time because some individuals make all the fanfare like Raja.

See the AMD Ryzen launch. Until Lisa Su came out with the chip nobody had a clue (except Gibbo who was excited at the Rome event) how this performed. Everyone had the chip as stillborn, even posting fake results using FX8350 calling it slow. (who forgot these?).

See now with Navi. AMD downplays quite a lot the tech, no more events and "big fanfare" roadmaps. Yet there will be media hype posting fake benchmarks and calling it the next messiah.
Like they do with the next Nvidia cards right now.
 
Is it wishful thinking to assume that AIB boards would appear soon after the FE's are released because there's been that much more preparation time? (by soon I mean sooner than is usually the case).

Not sure man, I still see people saying buy Nvidia, AMD drivers are crap online to this day. Sad, but it is true.

Their idiots.

But it's easy to understand why. Mud sticks. It will take a long time for those ideas to die and be replaced by new ones. But AMD need good products to make this happen.

Case in point. When I bought my Ryzen CPU one of my none technical mates ask me why did I go for the budget brand? :rolleyes:
