Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Crysis 1 looks awful in some places even maxed @2160p, Crysis 3 in the graphics dept is far superior.

I agree, I never claimed Crysis looks better though. I am saying they should do a remake. Meaning brand new engine, not using the old one. Crysis 3 looked good for 2013, but it was not ahead of it's time like Crysis was. That is what I want to see.

No doubt some people would cry as they feel entitled to run it maxed out minimum 60fps if they have the best graphics card at the time, but who cares. They can use high setting if they want more fps, which would be the third slider behind very high and ultra :p:D

You have a fair point but it is still very important to highlight the fact the Crysis 1 was a CPU bottleneck and not the ultimate graphics test that some people think it was.

I have run Crysis 1 on some of my hardware @2160p maxed out and had no trouble reaching 200fps in some places so it is not really a test of modern GPU hardware.:)

Later on I will give Crysis 3 a go on an overclocked Titan V maxed @2160p but I will be very surprised if I can hit 40fps.

Crysis 3 2160p maxed 8xMSAA
6950X @4.4
Titan V @2040/1066

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
4024, 99406, 32, 59, 40.480

I don't think the upcoming 1180 will be the answer to 2160p gaming in fact it will probably be a little disappointing for some people if the above is anything to go by.

You would maybe get better results with a 8700K at 5.3GHz. 4.4GHz is weak :p

Also 8X MSAA does seem a little overkill at 2160p. That is more for potato resolutions like 1080p/1440p imo.

What are you guys hoping with the 1180?
Click to expand...
I am expecting around 20% extra performance vs the 1080Ti. Same as we got from 980Ti to 1080. At worst 15% extra performance.

Not that exciting really, considering the price it will likely be. Still, a nice improvement and something new vs the ageing 1080Ti.
 
Looks like TSMC is having some production issued caused by a virus infiltrating their systems.

I know the link below is referring to iphone chips but we all know TSMC make chips for a lot of other people too.

Could this impact upon the release of any upcoming GPU products, possibly limiting quantities available etc?

I suppose it could affect all GPUs, depending which production nodes are hit.

I would like to see 4K silky smooth FPS and of course all the eye candy full cheese....
Click to expand...
It is possible depending on what your definition of silky smooth is. But really you probably want to wait for the 1180Ti if you want the full cheese. But with a few tweaks to game settings the 1180 would probably do 60fps on nearly all games would be my guess.

Everyone who had Nvidia 8800 series, Core2Duo and Vista was running it at DX10. And I was one of them also, so my ex wife and my mate.
And the day it game out also :)

Yet you will find many didn't run crysis at dx10 because they didn't want to move from their pirated copy of windows XP

had to fact check myself , as hazy memory apparently affecting me , turns out anyone on Nvidia ran 10 , anyone on AMD ran 9 …. driver support blah blach , also I think its less about xp being pirated and more to do with vista being garbage … I actually don't know many people that rather gamed on vista with dx10 than xp with dx9 , piracy aside. although im sure there was those sorts out there.

Metro or Witcher 3 @ Ultra with 4K super sampling? :D

can do that with any tittle really though , natively though I am struggling to think

ATI (not AMD) didn't had DX10 card at that time when game came out. And Vista was good, especially post SP1. The main "issues" with the OS was XP piracy and different GUI.
But the new GUI didn't stop anyone jumping to W7.....
 
My only memory of vista was my harddrive just never ever stopped. I have no idea wtf it was doing but it was for ever just ticking away for hrs on end. It was a happy day when win 7 came out.

The main issues with vista is that it was needlessley heavy and bloated , driver compatability was poor even with Microsoft certified products and it was for the most part an unstable mess ... Think your the first I've heard refer to vista as good . it was pants. Piracy whilst rampant on XP was not the cause of vista failing . vista was cracked near instantly , as was 7 and 8 and 10 .... Pirates want the latest and greatest ... But not when its the latest but not so great . quite aware of AMDs previous GPU owners , so correction not needed especially as you know what I was referring to . the GUI didn't stop anyone jumping to 7 because it was decent unlike the former ...

Vista vanilla needed 15 minutes to remove the bloat stuff and improve performance.
These issues were resolved with SP1 and especially SP2 was in par to Windows 7 in performance if not tad faster in some areas.

Also the complains were from those trying to use some archaic hardware from the 90s.
Like Pentium 1 & 2s etc. Anyone used Core2Duo/Quad or Athlon 64X2 didn't had those issues
Same applied to GPUs.
 
Aside from some odd bloat in Vista and 1-2 issues with background processes running resource heavy (mostly solved fairly trivially once the service pack was released) the main difference between Vista and Windows 7 for me are fairly small but make a huge difference in terms of quality of life - where in Vista you needed just 1-2 extra fairly minor steps to do something over 7 or even fairly small changes in layout, etc. but the impact on repetitive tasks, etc. is huge and made 7 so much less tedious over the course of a day, etc.

I see same problem with file explorer in 10 - its just a bit messy, things not quite in good places or oddly laid out or just don't flow naturally in usage and it makes it a lesser experience compared to 7 when working with files (though I do miss some stuff like the copy dialogue, etc. from 8/10 which was a nice addition).

Vista wasn't a bad OS in many ways but XP and 7 just (at least for me and I know for many people it is true) feel more natural in use.

As an aside there was build of Longhorn think it was something like 4588 or something that was really nice I wonder why it never saw the light of day - along with a stock dark aero glass style theme it had a really customisable/dynamic sidebar/start menu that you could move a long of stuff between and an optional fullscreen task planner system that incorporated a lot of the stuff like in 8.

Celeron b815 1.6ghz / barton chip / x2 5000 + / e6600 all chips that I ran from memory using this o/s on numerous revisions and service packs... granted one of those Is low power but just concidering how poor it ran with 2gb ram in regards to hardware scaling is enough. I had issues... from power profiles , general system instabilities , driver support across peripherals and hardware such as nic's.

I run a cleandown of an installed o/s straight away as personal preference for example turning off cortana on win 10 and removing UWP apps , managing my own pagefiles , turning on classic UI in vista for example and trying to mitigate win aero's problems.
It ran like a dog for the most part from birth to the ever needed death.

Let's hope not, It sounds like it'll be the next excuse used for high pricing.
