NVIDIA "GT104" Based GeForce GTX 1180 Surfaces on Vietnamese Stores
A Vietnamese online store put up the first listing of a GeForce GTX 1180 based ASUS ROG Strix graphics card. The store even put out some specifications of the card, beginning with it being based on the "GT104" silicon, based on the "Turing" series. With "Turing" NVIDIA appears to be forking its GPU architectures on the basis of chips that feature DPFP (double-precision floating point) cores and Tensor cores, and those that lack both (and only feature SPFP cores). "Turing" is probably a fork of "Volta" that lacks both DPFP CUDA cores and Tensor cores; and sticks to the cheaper GDDR6 memory architecture, while "Volta" based GPUs, such as the TITAN V, implement pricier HBM2 memory.
Among the specifications of the GeForce GTX 1180 are 3,584 CUDA cores, and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. The memory is clocked at 14 GHz (GDDR6-effective), which works out to 409.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Pre-launch prices, just like most specifications, tend to be bovine excrement, which in this case converts to a little over USD $1,500, and isn't really relevant. What is, however, interesting is the availability date of September 28.

The bigger thing is every spec posted anywhere so far is just someones guess based off no real source. I'd hazard to say that everything on that page can be thrown out as nonsense and it's just a marketing ploy.
Anyway, I'm still counting on GTX 2077 in 2020.
I think they'll stick with 11- and 12-, then move to 20-.
I think they have to consider what sounds good. Ten eighty,eleven eighty and twelve eighty sound fine and they're in line with their naming policy. If they didn't want the 11-series, they wouldn't have made the 10-series either. Apparently they're just fine with 100 increments in the name of the series and same 30/50/70/80 numbers for SKUs.
...what?
Have you never heard the expression "the ten series" about Pascal cards. You're just trolling about petty stuff as always.
*Volta is the major uarch change, but we still don't know if it's gonna be released as a gaming card or not.
16GB of double sided memory on the back of the PCB too. piggy-backed 8 Gbit chips on each side.
