Hardware & Technical Rumor: Nvidia 1180/2080 cards coming soon...
- Thread starter Snowbullet
- Start date
Already ? Nvidia is not serious ?

I can not wait to read the tests about these new atomic bombs
I bought it in Nov 2014. The weird thing is I rushed out to the shops to buy a GT1030 to tide me over while I wait for a good time to buy a 1080, but the 980 seems to be behaving itself at the moment. I'll keep a fire extinguisher close to my PC <grin>
If it's true I hope it will have enough power for dual 4K monitors / VR at 90fps.
I'll be interested to see what the 1180 packs under the hood. It should be significantly more powerful than my 980Ti at what looks like at least 20% Lower TDP.
A couple of articles mention it is likely to come in at a higher price point than the 1080 did, I just hope it is not ludicrous money!!

I've read so many speculations about this, that even though I'm interested (as I have an interim 1060 6gb in my rig that I'm planning to replace within a year or so), I'm getting sick of it. 
Sad but true- one of my GTX 690s fried itself last year. Bought new in June '12. Five years out of a darn near thousand pound GPU isn't particularly good value for money. Zeeman's right, the miners paid top dollar for the other one!
Got me within reach of my new joystick...
Wasn't 690 basically dual GPU in one housing? The thing is mental, probably saved some money on heating during all those years. So decent value overallSad but true- one of my GTX 690s fried itself last year. Bought new in June '12. Five years out of a darn near thousand pound GPU isn't particularly good value for money.

Yeah Caramel, it was an alternative to the Titan that beat it hands down at almost everything when it came out. Nvidia had a raft of new tech that would work wonders with multi processor GPUs, which the game industry ignored completely. The next generation of GPUs had more on board memory and were a boatload cheaper, games (quite rightly) catered to the majority and the whole thing turned out to be a terrific waste of money! [haha]
I'd love to claim I learned something from the experience, but I replaced it with a Titan Xp, so probably not...

I think this is overly optimistic.
Exactly like GDDR5X only clocked higher.
The first 1180, or whatever they end up calling this part will almost certainly have a 256-bit bus with 8GiB of GDDR6 at 14-16Gbps.
Only if the supply constraints remain.
DRAM prices should be on the way down and AIBs should have a better feel for the potential impact of mining on demand, so will be less hesitant to order sufficient quantities to fill it.
Multi-GPU support is always tricky. The considerations required by developers to ensure the experience is good is rarely worthwhile as SLI/CFX users are a tiny niche.

The graphics cards should be guaranteed 8 years
Interesting in the measure where the GDDR5X was reserved for the very high-end in the generation Pascal.
The GDDR6 should be available for the medium segment as the 1160 perhaps
