NVIDIA GTX 1080-successor By Late-July
NVIDIA is reportedly giving finishing touches to its first serious GeForce-branded GPU based on a next-generation NVIDIA architecture (nobody knows which), for a late-July product announcement. This involves a limited reference-design "Founders Edition" product launch in July, followed by custom-design graphics card launches in August and September. This chip could be the second-largest client-segment implementation of said architecture succeeding the GP104, which powers the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070.
It's growing increasingly clear that the first product could be codenamed "Turing" after all, and that "Turing" may not be the codename of an architecture or a silicon, but rather an SKU (likely either named GTX 1180 or GTX 2080). As with all previous NVIDIA product-stack roll-outs since the GTX 680, NVIDIA will position the GTX 1080-successor as a high-end product initially, as it will be faster than the GTX 1080 Ti, but the product will later play second-fiddle to a GTX 1080 Ti-successor based on a bigger chip.

Looking forward to the top end Ti version which should be able to do 4K like Pascal can do 1080p today. That would go really nicely with those new affordable $3000 4K 144Hz monitors. :laugh:
3854 shaders max, 10% higher core clock, 256 bit memory with 16Gbps GDDR6 for 512GB/s bandwidth and 200W TDP at $700+ for the FE cards.
So basically an OCed 1080Ti with better efficiency..
Ignore me, just nerding out. :laugh:
Plus, the Ti will probably come only after AMD releases their answer to these new babies.
Radeon also had 7xxx-9xxx, went back to three digits with X300 which, renamed to HD continued to 8xxx and then we got the R3/5/7 followed by 3 digits again.
Still, just stickers on boxes to me.
And 1080 to 980 Ti.
Still great for those who want access to that efficiency earlier and for up to 6 months, until the Ti drops.
That being said whenever I see "RIP AMD" I know it comes from someone that spends their day checking out what color they see at the top of benchmarks and outside of that they are absolutely clueless.
Prior to that they had a bad run of their ACX coolers which were the worst performers of the bunch with bad heatpipe contact.
The former brought an operating income of $85mn while the latter brought $19mn (a sharp decline actually) in Q4'17: ir.amd.com/news-releases/news-release-details/amd-reports-fourth-quarter-and-annual-2017-financial-results
So yeah, they're out of the red, but they're not exactly rolling in it just yet.
(based on Nvidia's whitepapers)
-higher cost
-higher tdp
-higher power usage
-poor price-performance
-poor performance/watt
-consistently lower frame rate on a majority of titles
We are at the point where 1080p and 1440p are starting to slip into mainstream and 4K is where the ball will be on AAA games on the high-end of things. 2-3 years down the line a xx50 level card will be enough to play on 1080p high settings.
AMD is wasting die space on compute oriented stuff on the gaming front, like it or not. nVIDIAs stuff is more efficient in this market segment, that's all there is to it in the end.
On a more serious note, it does FreeSync and if you already have a FreeSync-capable monitor, maybe that's the card for you?
