NVIDIA Volta with GDDR6 in early 2018?

So big **** form me to AMD gpu department . joining Poor Volta Crowd.

If it goes for gamers cards id say 2080 as always will be 15-20% faster than 1080ti. Thats NV way of doing things. I know they coud go with ti in lineup but thanks to AMD they dont need to **** . they can keep prices as they are they dont even need to get volta out next year.

Give a rest already. It's a graphics card not a life choice. Get over it.

Never!

Vega hurt me so bad, I will be to Vega what CrossFire is to Loadsa!

I do wished that NVIDIA gave us a choice between air or aio cooler on their top card like the Titan x.(I don't fancy playing around with it and put a after market one on it to many risks you have to take) I have the one from 2016 I love the card but when you change the fan curve to 70% it does get loud.I would love to see the Volta Titan x with a built in aio from Nvidia!

I agree, the vega release is galling, the short amount of time given to reviewers, the rise in price and offer of 2 free games for £100 #WaitingForVoltaCrew

Never ordered NV T-shirt today. Switching to full on NV Fanboiii and never looking back on AMD their hype trains dont do me any good on mental side. At lest after titan upgrade land seeing fantastic gains i went off antidepressants again

Have you decided team green is the right way to go now?

First of all that was a joke. Secondly, I have had a green team card pretty much most of 2016/17

I guess it will be guessing, but do we think the 1170 will give 1080 ti performance this time round? I know the 1070 matches the 980 ti and the 1060 matches the 980, but looking at the 700 to 900 leap, 900 to 1000 series was a huge leap.

I highly doubt the 1160 will match the 1080, I reckon it be between 1070 - 1080 ish performance and the 1170 be between the 1080 to 1080 ti.

But who knows. I am still rocking a gtx 980 I got last September so will only upgrade when the 11 series comes out

Well personally I think the 1070 was over gimped, nvidia seemed to disable chips based on meeting a mid range performance point between the 1060 and 1080 instead of on yields from damaged 1080 chips. They got away with it due to the nice performance gains from maxwell to pascal. usually a 70 series card is closet to the 80 than the 60.

OK. Realistically how long before we see Volta. And more importantly how long till we see the "2080Ti" or whatever it will be? That, for me I think will be the first no compromises 4K card. Thats what I am betting on. Assuming the "2080" is about on par with the 1080Ti as is usually the case.

True they should have at least AIO versions, with choice of a single or dual rad.

Guessing, but 2080Ti probably around November/December next year? Earlier would be nice, like they did with the 980Ti.. but who knows.

Probably sometime around March 2018 for the mid range cards and August 2018 for the Titan. The Ti will probably turn up about 6 months after.

This is based on what NVidia did with Pascal.

This also means that there won't be any big jumps in performance until the arrival of the Titan.

The titan is off the cards for me. I don't see it as good value compared to the Ti. In fact... God-awful value.

Pessimist..

I guess on the bright side, any current high end cards will do well for a while. Maybe not so good news for those on 4k who want more power though.

If someone has already got a 1080 Ti I don't think they will see anything noticeably faster with Volta until the Titan turns up in 12 months time or the Volta Ti in about 18 months time.

The best anyone is likely to get with the Volta mid range cards is about 25% over the current 1080 Ti which makes upgrading not very appealing.

I think that would be a push? was the 1080 not equivalent to a decent OC 980Ti?
