Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[WantoN]

You also need to consider the key resellers don't replace Steam though,as many of their games need Steam to play the said games,and this would not explain any drops in people using Steam,just any potential revenues.

Whats interesting is both these events have happened pretty quickly,unlike in the past when it took years for regulators to start acting. The issue here is probably overconfidence - they took on Chinese companies,which are essentially state backed,and by extension the Chinese government who seem to be acting much more quickly. Even if they don't charge them,the damage is done - looking at the nationalistic statements from China in the last few years,they will accelerate their own alternatives so they can rely less on foreign suppliers,who can increase prices 50% and above whenever they feel like hence cutting the DRAM suppliers own markets - it reminds me what happened decades ago when the Japanese car and tech industries were ignored too.

It will be interesting to see. Home brew dram manufacturers aren’t going to pop up overnight. I very much hope prices will become sensible but I doubt it. And if Chinese companies start producing ram it’ll take a long time to gain traction in the UK. Unless they buy someone.

The investments are massive - the tech fund just for investment in stuff like RAM is well over $100 billion,and any indigenous RAM will be used to displace any imported RAM on Chinese made products. The side effect is less market for the DRAM companies,who didn't help themselves by pushing their biggest customer. If they hadn't push prices so high,it might have made it less viable longterm,and less doable politically. Remember a 50% increase on $90 billion of imported DRAM is $45 billion,and even if prices fall a bit,they can spike up again. This makes it more viable for state backed DRAM firms.

Wouldn't surprise me if the 1160 was just a rebadge of the 1060 with the same performance. With all the BS surrounding PC Gaming recently, i'm on the verge of ditching the platform for good. I haven't bought a PC game for ages now.

It's just souped up console ports to take advantage of these GPUs now. Over the coming years, many peoples new GPU will have PS5/Xbox written on it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

And hmmmmmmmmmmmm again!

I distinctly remember you posting in that other thread... what was it called... "GPU prices go boom!".... saying that we should shut up about consoles, as this is the GPU section and consoles are cancer?

Quite the turn-around old bean!

No disrespect, but let me push you over by saying good riddance. Nearly every post of yours I have seen is a moan at one thing or the other. I am a lurker but you got me to log in to try and put you out of you misery.

Cheer up, try to add some value with your posts rather than the constant doom and gloom or bugger off I say.

I sincerely hope this is a joke... but sadly (very sadly) I'm not 100% sure... It's ... plausible!

When i said ditch the platform, i didn't mean switching over to consoles. More like ditch the platform and do other hobbies until the market gets its act together.

Your choice of course but ditching video gaming completely because pc gaming is a bit pricy when there are other perfectly competent alternatives sounds a bit baby out with the bathwaterish.
Also let's face it, cutting edge GPUs being expensive is a very 1st world problems to have. I say this as someone hitting that refresh key hrly looking for 1180 news.... But we don't NEED new GPUs for gaming. Gtx980 level cards (hell even lower spec than that) are affordable for most and are perfectly acceptable for gaming even vr at a push.

 

[Shaz12]

Is there anything new on when the 1180/1170 release or pricing?

Exactly. I picked up a 980Ti from members market to keep me going until the new cards come out. It plays majority of my steam library 4K 60fps just fine. Playing Yakuza 0 which only just come out yesterday, and guess what? It plays 4K 60fps no sweat. Why would I ditch the platform? Lol.

That's odd, my 980Ti started to struggle with 1440p/60. At least you are getting to play some old console games

Not odd at all when you consider the point I was making. I never claimed it plays the latest games 4K 60fps which is what I assume you are talking about. But that has nothing to do with my post

Aye, it's frustration more than anything else. Like many that game on PC, I've invested loads in games and hardware. There is no escaping PC gaming, if you're honest with yourself. As my mate once said: PC gaming has you by the balls.

I'd like to get into VR at some point and the PC is obviously where it's at for the best experience.

I'm lurking on this thread as i fancy myself a new GPU. One suspects that the new 11** series may be a little out of my reach price reach (the Mrs would go nuts) .

So might be looking at the current gen if prices drop enough.

Would a jump from a 1070 to a 1080ti (price permitting) at 1440p be worth while?

My 1070 does pretty well considering however i'd welcome higher refresh rates. I do like the smoothness of it.

I "might" be able to get a discount on the new ones from a friend but it will still be price permitting.

I went from 980ti SLI (so basically 1070 performance) to 1080ti as by the end only 1 card was being used in the majority of games, going from 1440p to 1440p ultra wide in the process and was quite happy with the results.

Just don't expect a 20% uplift from OCing the cards like with the 980ti

Id wait and see; You could pick up an 1160 which will likely perform better than the 1070 and have up to date hardware for upcoming games.

For me, I think it’s always better to buy at the upper end; you get a better gaming experience with greater longevity, especially if you’re at 1440p rather than UW/4K. My 980 is still serving me very well, I dropped down from SLI and don’t miss it, if I’d gotten the ti I’d probably wait another generation.

As it stands I’m waiting for the 1180ti, and that’s because of want, not need. I’m waiting for the ti because I should be able to skip the next generation and continue to have a great gaming experience into the one after that. At the lower end it takes far less time before you’re turning settings right down to get decent frames.

Just my tuppence, but I suppose I’m lucky because what I spend money on is up to me; the mrs and I don’t tend to influence each others purchasing decisions. I appreciate that’s not the case for a lot of couples.

NVIDIA Next-Gen GeForce GTX 1180 PCB Leaks Out – 8 GB/16 GB GDDR6 VRAM, 256-bit Bus, 8+6 Pin Power Connectors

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1180-gddr6-graphics-card-pcb-leak/





I notice the very interesting thing is SLi connector finally gone and replace it with single NVLink connector I supposed while Titan V has dual NVLink connectors.

It seem DVI is finally gone and replace it with 1 or 2 VirtualLink USB-C port.

 

[bigmike20vt]

I hope as dvi is gone they include at least 1 VLink to dvi or hdmi adapter...

other than that i am please vlink will be on the new cards.

Need a Buildzoid analysis on that pic!

 

[Quartz]

Do the pictures indicate how many Displayport ports and how many HDMI ports there will be? I'm hoping for 2x DP 1.4 and 2x HDMI 2.1, though it looks like 3 of one type and 1 of the other.

You do realise that might be the PCB for a non-gaming card,right?? Hence,why there is those unusual connectors. Titan V was made for non-gaming stuff first,ie,why Nvidia gave away versions to researchers.

pretty hard sinces there is nothing on the PCB lo
