Volta max 25% increase?

my guess 1180 5-10% faster than 1080ti, 1180ti 30% faster than 1080ti

of course they drip feed on purpose, not amds fault as no one buys their cards even when they match or outperform nvidias. nvidias budget is just massive now
 
Depends what you mean.

The 1080 Ti to Volta non-Ti (i.e. the 1080 replacement) will likely be ~25-30% faster than the 1080 Ti.

But the best Volta we see on 12nm, the Volta Titan and Volta-Ti, will likely be 60-70% faster.

I highly doubt it, this would be historically unprecedented (other than when they made mistakes on arch's in the past). As in poor progress.

Nvidia aren't just competing with AMD, they have to set themselves apart from lots of companies, in lots of different workloads. They need to beat themselves constantly, and substantially, otherwise customers won't buy their stuff.

Is 25% a good guess over 1080ti

Last question, do you think they drip feed us on purpose?, AMD's fault? As they can't match Nvidia?

in theory Nvidia can still get 40-50% performance boost if they release an 800mm² chip, but price would be ridiculous for desktop market.
the one where Nvidia is draging it's feet is 600mm² (20-25% boost), they probably could have released it by now, but since AMD isn't threatening their performance crown...they have no incentive to release bigger GPU.
 
Just checked my full fat Maxwell Titan against my full fat Pascal Titan XP on the Timespy bench and the newer card is about 76% faster.

Going from Pascal to Volta like for like is probably going to see some big increases like the example above.

I hope so Kaapstad

Volta wasn't really designed for GeForce - performance uplift will depend a bit on whether the next generation of GeForce GPUs use 12FF or a smaller node.

Probably wouldn't happen, but I wish Intel bought out the RTG. Intel could allocate bigger budgets and then perhaps give Nvidia better competition. All of which would be good for consumers.

Intel have the wrong approach really for gaming GPUs - the whole attitude towards products as a company isn't a good mesh with what you need for higher end GPUs.
 
Volta is not coming into consumer space. Nvidia now calls their consumer architecture different. Volta is only V100 and Xavier. Gaming chips will be based on their so called "post-volta"-architecture. Therefore we don't even have V100 as a base for improvements, as we don't know how much they change. Maybe it's more like Volta V2 and a lot of marketing, but we'll have to wait for more infos.

Yep. And comes out 2019. In 2018 we have Pascal refresh.

When you have AMD as competition then you can just cruise by :D

Hell, even Intel haven't even bothered to drop pricing on their CPU line lol

I read another forum user comments the other day saying Ryzen only has to take 10% say of Intel sales and as a company they would be richer than Nvidia, if that’s true then maybe Ryzen can help AMD step up the GPU side with some solid investment.
 
After playing some Shadow of War and The Evil Within 2 at 1440p/60Hz on a 1080Ti with everything maxed I realise that there is very little reason to look forward to Volta. Graphics are being held back so much now, not just with consoles, but also by low end PCs. Both games have 1060 class cards as recommended. Both games (IMO) could benefit greatly by having Ultra modes that do make use of Ultra cards but that is not going to happen since so few own such cards.

I feel for the first time that the 1080Ti is so far above the average PC/console that it's going to last well beyond the next gen.

Its been like this a while. I think I've been watching people benchmark The Witcher 3, tomb raider and Gta v for years now. It's just all a bit boring. Consoles have been getting more ambitious games and we just get the cross platform stuff. Outside of 4k gaming I think we are probably geared up to last years
