*Rumour* 1070 Ti (Videocardz.com)

melmac said:
Why would it jump from 10 to 20? There was the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000.

Surely the next cards are 1100?

I don’t understand why are asking me this. I am not jumping from 10 to 20. I am saying they are likely going from 100 series to 1000 series. Why did nvidia go from 9800 (1000 series, i.e. jumping up in 1000’s) to 280 (100 series, i.e. jumping up in 100’s) and not 10800 in the past? Why did AMD go from HD 7000 series to 200 series, surely according to you it should have been 8000, 9000, 10000?

Am I missing something here? We don’t know what Nvidia will call the next GPU line, it could be something completely different. But it is not strange to assume it will jump back to going up in 1000 increments like it has done in the past.
 
Well I guess this will be another release I wont be buying into then. As echoed above why by a graphics card when you can buy a whole console.

You do realise, that Gibbo's comment didn't confirm that the Ti wouldn't be the same price as the normal 1070, just that the 1070 price won't change. The likely reason is that the 1070 is going EOL soon.

Yeah I was hoping for a price drop on 1070 so I could spend less money but as this isn't an option I just grabbed a great deal on a 1080.

Should be a massive upgrade from my 280x.

Hmm, I don't remember a GeForce 2 Ti. I remember the Ultra's were the flagship.

"The GeForce 2 family comprised a number of models: GeForce 2 GTS, GeForce 2 Pro, GeForce 2 Ultra, GeForce 2 Ti, GeForce 2 Go and the GeForce 2 MX series."

I do remember GeForce 3 Ti 200 and 500.

I had a gf 2 ti, it wasn't the flagship, more the best bang for buck card, as it seemed at the time for me anyway

Still nothing to upgrade to from my 980Ti that gives value and performance. Has proved to be a great buy but I think it says more about the drip feeding by Nvidia and spiralling costs of graphics cards, not to mention the end of Amd as the people's champion. The Xbox One X looks to be the way to go for gaming though at £449 I would say its £50 plus too much. Sad days indeed.

Keyboard and mouse support coming as well apparently, making it a whole lot more interesting.
 
Gibbo has said no movement on the 1070, fair enough.
The only thing wrong there is that NVIDIA wouldn't let anyone know yet if they planned to change the prices anyway.
Looks like AMD are expecting a price cut with their promotional price drop on their Vega cards.
Interesting times ahead for sure.:)

They could call them anything but, Nvidia have been very consistent with their naming scheme for years now.

I quoted you because you made the statement that Spoffle did not know how know historically how cards are marketed and that it typically goes from 100 series and 1000 series.

As I said above, Nvidia are very consistent with their naming scheme, have been for the past 9 years. Their cards have been 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and now 10. Suddenly going to 2050, 2080 would be really strange. Especially when you look at the way their numbering scheme now works. The 2 series cards are the 2nd generation cards since changing their naming scheme in 2008. The 3 series cards are 3rd generation, etc. It would seem very likely that the next cards will be 11 not 20.

Also, the previous cards weren't really 1000's. Yes, take the 8800 GTX for example. It looks like eight thousand, eight hundred. But, it isn't. It reads as eight, eight hundred. And that's not laziness, that's because the first 8 stands for the series of card it is and the 800 is where in the power range it comes. My guess is that they changed the naming scheme after the 9 series cards because they felt that the 10800 GTX, 20800 GTX etc didn't look right. Whereas the GTX 280 is easier.

AS for your question about AMD, Why according to me? This is discussing Nvidia, AMD's naming scheme is completely different, two completely separate things.

Fair enough mate. I still stand by what I said, and I will say to you what I said to him. We'll see :D

Are expecting this to be priced at what converts from their currency to £403 Including VAT, so we can expect £450 in UK stores then right?

No, it will be roughly the same, Swedish prices are very close to the UK, you only need check one one of the retailers to find that much out. Look at the EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming, it's equivalent of £530-550 in Sweden, and about the same here from most places, processors are also practically the same.

*£399, and the GTX 1070 is EOL'd, the GTX 1060 Ti will be out before then end of the year, replacing the 6GB GTX 1060, with a faster card, possibly with more RAM, but maybe not due to RAM prices. The the GTX 1060 3GB will get a spec bump to what was the 6Gb variant. Covers of all the prices ranges, keeps them faster (still) than AMD and keeps the margins high due to good yields. Buys them some time from a marketing perspective before they then need to launch the next gen cards in June-August '18, with maybe a Titan Volata launched in Mar-May '18

*All speculation.

the 1060 6GB is the 1060ti. so stop posting rubbish. they would never release a newer version or a ti version. no need to they already have them.

now all cards have a normal version and a ti version. 1050, 1060, 1070 and the 1080. all of them have 2 versions now. whereas the 1070 was on it's own before.

There is actually a lot of people that want to buy a card somewhere between the 1060 and the 1070 because the 1060 isn't enough of an upgrade and the 1070 is £360+.
