Nvidia: Order of 10?

tyler_jrb · 5 May 2016 at 09:11

I agree there is no way a 1080 will be £300. I don't even think the 1070 will be that cheap.

£450-500 is very likely.

The card Will replace the Ti and is likely to be 30%+ faster at least.

How have we got to the 1080 being £300?? :confused:

I don't think anyone is expecting that are they?

Wow, the moving of the goalsposts trick. The claims you are referring to are that 1080 will be the same price as 980Ti and be released at ~£500+, NOT that it will be the same performance.

1080 will be faster than 980Ti at the same price range. Before you claim x80 are always cheaper then explain 780 (£550+) (not with a but it was really a Ti anyway nonsense).

If the rumours that Polaris 10 is going to be ~390X - Fury/X speeds then Nvidia will have free regin at the high end and have proved they will price accordingly.

GTX 780 was a gk110 chip aka "big kepler" the card you should be comparing is the 680 "small kepler" which launched at around the £420 mark, the 780 Ti was only released because of Amds r9 290x beating the Titan at a much lower cost. so 780 and 780 Ti were expected to be £500+ at launch of each card. now the 980 "small maxwell" was a sub £400 card at launch with the 980 Ti "big maxwell" being £550 if it was to repeat itself again which is highly likely we'll get GTX 1080 "small pascal) at sub £400 and offer around 20-30% improvement over 980 Ti

Irrelevant, the size is not important it's the naming and price that matters. It was called 780 and was £550+ on release. 28nm was a very mature process at the time 780 was released so pricing could have been much lower. It proves that Nvidia are more than happy to price their x80 GPUs at much higher prices than some are claiming/hoping.

To you maybe. But it displays a fundamental lack of knowledge or appreciation for economics.

I think this could offer the biggest clue, is it just me or does this have any resemblance to the green Nvidia logo of any kind? thoughts?

Gregster · 5 May 2016 at 10:29

1080 at £450 is my call and I expect it to be around 20% faster than the 980Ti. 8GB of GDDR5 (please not 256 bit and hopefully 512). Purely guess work but I have been close before

Thank GOD a post that comes away from this STUPID bickering :rolleyes:

That does look a lot like there logo :eek:

I suspect this to be likely as well. A part of me is hoping for 30% faster but i think that might be a bit too optimistic.

Not realistically.

Its getting a bit dramatic now for a GPU promotion with all the city views and progressively added in extra elements lol.

I wonder if this is some kind of VR thing and not Pascal related as the references to Kepler, etc. seem to be incidental in a narration about time, space and extra dimensions.

My prediction is that tomorrow Nvidia will announce the 1080 which will be £249.99 and offer 980ti sli performance.

I've done some maths, and it works out

Exactly this^ No one was thinking 1080 would be £300. Users love twisting your words for their own end. One of the main reasons why I don't post here as much any more.

There would be a lot of happy people at first and then a lot of disappointed people after finding out that SLI isn't a good as it should be. (of course at that price lots would buy two of them

)

But ,single card has always been better then SLI. I'll never go SLI again. Just not worth it.

Not even if the 1080 was £249, I mean just think how cheap the 1070 would be in that case...lol

Brazo · 5 May 2016 at 12:55

980 more or less matched the 780ti so I'm not thinking a 1080 is going to outperform a 980ti

Order of 10 is a reference to the price increase

Nah.. MOQ I reckon

wunkley · 5 May 2016 at 13:04

Speculation's fun aint it, but I'm pretty sure a lot of the posts in here are just taking the **** now, which is fair enough as it's getting boring.

The 1080 will be roughly the same performance as the 980Ti, and roughly the same price. Thoroughly underwhelming, unless you actually do get excited about power saving. The 1080Ti version will be awesome. It's been like this for several gens now.

I would be ok with this, Titan X beating performance for 450 squids wouldn't be a bad deal.

Seeing as we're getting a die shrink plus new architecture I don't think it's asking much either.

Still it's not much of improvement but at least the price would be ok.

If they come in at £550, and still only 10%-20% faster than I would happily grab a lesser card and sit it all out until the real deal high end arrives.

Patiently waiting for Nano 2 or similar from Nvidia. GTX 1070 will prob be the card I grab until then. Been waiting so long for new cards, 28nm needs to die so bad. Starting to think these new cards will never be released
