Its not GTX, its RTX 2080, nVidia Turing Raytracing card.

Very interesting video by AdoredTV.

On a personal note quite like the idea of Raytracing and nVidia's GPU's geared towards this, i might even get one.

 
Very disappointed with the performance increases considering the price, see the 1180 thread. TU106 (low end chip) is going to be the 2070! 2080 is a cut down TU104 so a Ti in the future may be based on a TU104 (midrange chip) instead of the TU102 in the 3k Titan. Also, to cap it all off the RTX technology is not even coming to 2060 and lower which means it won't get much traction in games and this technology will be used for slightly better ambient occlusion and reflections as cards not powerful enough to ray trace a full scene. This is what happens when you have no competition.

They can't have cut the 2080, the 1080 was already the traditional mid range chips at high end pricing. Sad times.
 
I would not take anything in the video seriously.

They tell us what the performance, launch date and price of the next Titan will be but can not even say what memory or chip it uses.
 
2080 only 8% faster than the 1080Ti and with LESS VRAM. Well, there is not having competition for you. Sad time. If only AMD could save us from Nvidia like they have with Intel.
 
Am I the only one seen the irony here? Some were expecting 20-30% performance increase and top of the range chips..... :rolleyes:
 
Here is something to think about:

Back in the grand ole days of old; Nvidia would release typical mArch that was well establish and made sense.
XX06 = low end
XX04 = mainstream
XX02 = High end "TI"
XX00 = Halo part usually reserved for none gaming application. Cost $1k +. However Nvidia saw a market for it in the gaming space and it sold well.

For Gaming space we have the following 2 examples (in part).

Maxwell:
GM206 = 960(s)
GM204 = 970/980
GM202 = does not exist (just in case you were wondering)
GM200 = 980 TI

When next gen was released we have the following.
Pascal:
GP106 = 1060(s)
GP104 = 1070/(TI) 1080
GP102 = 1080 TI, Titan, X, Xp

Now for this next gen we are seeing
Turing?:
TU117
TU116
TU106
TU104

I wouldn't wait for a halo part. I personally doubt it would be a TI and I have my doubts for a Titan part as well. As it appears that their monklier naming like the RTX/GTX is being demoted to a lower in mArch (XX04 instead of XX02/XX00). IMO the TI variants will be the True TU102 when Nvidia gets to 7nm. While the TU104 will have the performance of a mainstream part as 12nm.

But as with any thing like this we will see as we still need more info on CC, TU and Die Size.

But if you are still not sure then lets not forget how the 1070 TI replaced the 1070 well after the 1070 was released.
1080: 2560 CC's and 160 TUs
1070: 1920 CCs and 120 TUs <--this should have been a red flag as it's spec to low below 1080.
1070 Ti: 2432 CCs and 152 TUs <--Ti spec is much more inline to be behind the 1080 than the 1070.

But that's not right because the XX02 was only introduced with Pascal when the decided to split the gaming and pro cards further apart. There was no GM202 or GK202 or GF202 because that chip didn't exist before Pascal. So it's not the grand old days at all.

Before Pascal it was

XX00 - Titan and x80Ti cards. (apart from the 780)
XX04 - x80/x70 cards
XX06 - x50/x60

Before Kepler it was

XX00 = x80/x70 cards
XX04 = x60Ti/x60 cards
XX02 = x40/x50 cards

They just made it seem like there was a new extra tier when moving from Fermi to Kepler, but they really just moved the Tiers down one level.

To keep with transparency I did disclaim "in part" in my prior post. It wasn't intended for a documentary. The XX04 has and will remain a midrange part.The other mArch mentioned in my prior post only strengthen that point. Which is why other releases were not mentioned.

However, even with Kepler (which you've added to the mix) still shows the same exact trend. Again "in part"...

Turing:
TU117
TU116
TU106
TU104

Pascal:
GP106 = 1060(s)
GP104 = 1070/(TI) 1080
GP102 = 1080 TI, Titan, X, Xp.

Maxwell:
GM206 = 960(s)
GM204 = 970/980
GM202 = does not exist (just in case you were wondering)
GM200 = 980 TI

Kepler:
"Most GeForce 600 series, most GeForce 700 series, and some GeForce 800M series GPUs were based on Kepler"
GK104 = GTX 760/770...
Gk110 = GTX 780/TI/Titan

Again, the trend is still the same here. XX04 is still a midrange part. It appears that 04 mArch variant is now the "high end" part here. Sure, we still need more details to confirm this but this is how it's looking. So, I'm glad you've added Kepler as it really did show the gapping difference between the 04 mArch and the 02 mArch part in the past 3 gens.

Sooo there’s no point waiting for this?
Should I just buy a 1080/1070ti/vega56/vega64??

I have been waiting a long time to upgrade!
