Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[Perfect_Chaos]

The Ti usually comes around 7-9 months after the xx80/70, so I'll probably get the 70 first then jump to the Ti. If I'd even need it.

 

[varkanoid]

Give the lack of competition and the value of the £ still. I'll be surprised if it cost any less than £650

If you remember last time when the pound dipped really low price of GPU's shot up because OCUK buy in dollars. If it comes out in next 7 months upto Brexit I cant see it being less than that, more likely £750+.

It was never going to be £500 on release. The 1080 only dropped to £499 when the 1080Ti was due for release.

It will be something similar with the 1180, it will drop in price when the next x80Ti is released. If you want to wait until then. Else you are going to have to go for the 1170.

Dam...I can see me using my r9-290 until it dies.

That or just buy something now, there’s an open box 1070ti I’m eyeing for £360...I might put the kids to bed open up a bottle of Rum and have a think...

 

[scubes]

Can’t wait to see the leaked benchies lol..

Think I'm going to revise my expected RRP upwards... up to £850 I think is quite likely for the 1180.

Up to £500 for the 1170. I'm not sure the xx70 card can break £500, but I guess stranger things have happened.

PS4 gets most of the PC exclusives anyways.

How can they be "PC Exclusives" if they're also on the PS4?

if it is that price i will kick myself for not nabbing a 2nd hand 1080ti now for £500

I've never owned an FE GPU - are they quiet at idle (I wear headphones when gaming, so a little noise then isn't an issue)?

Anyone?

 

[JediFragger]

Anyone?

The 1080 was fine imo, not 'noisy' with decent case airflow. The Ti really pushed its luck with the FE cooler though, just couldn't really handle the big heat output of that chip. Should be fine, I certainly would have another

Thanks man. I'll probably be settling for the 1170 anyway, so that bodes well. Cheers!

lol

I meant to say most pc games are on PS4. Didn’t have my coffee when I made that statement

Why? Do you expect the 1170 to be much slower than a 1080Ti?

Say the 1170 is 5-10% slower and 3GB less RAM. I would rather take that for £500 brand new than a second hand 1080Ti for £500 all day every day. Chances are it will be £450 max anyway.

A second hand 1080Ti needs to be under £400 to be of any interest to me, as I don't want another Pascal card if I can help it.

September and breakthrough performance.... Oooo yes please

Interesting news none the less.

I was hoping they'd do this with their Founder's editions. The cooler's really put me off in the past, this might be my first Founder's edition card provided the performance increase is big over a 1080 Ti.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

Hopefully the dual fans means to cool better, and that it won't be hot and loud..

FE cards have always put me off. They're never the price vs performance peak, and can often be the furthest from it. It strikes me as odd that third-party manufacturers have to "fix" the rad & fans before each card reaches its potential, but it's been like that for years.

A counterpoint to many of the AMD cards I guess - them not letting manufacturers build their own variants is certainly a different approach, for better or worse.

Bets on CEO maths or AMD style "breakthrough performance" that doesn't trouble the previous gen high end.

I'm not sure if Nvidia get more money from FE cards? If they do it doesn't make sense why they just didn't make better standard coolers in the first place instead of blowers.
