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.

Their true meaning is to seem helpful, but at the same time confusing enough so that a seller can pitch to the uninformed a more expensive product than they need ;)
That's never going to change.
For bonus points, look at Intel's Xeon lineup and then try to put SKUs in (any) order.Nvidia renamed desktop GPUs like twice in the past decade (8000->9000 and 400->500). AMD did it with every generation up until (and excluding) RX480.
Check the top of the box far end, they have blurred out 1080 probably because they could not get photo shopped 1180 to look good att that angle.
Zoom in top far end and you can clearly read text around but not where it should say 1180 because it is blurred out.
Next time pm me this boring same shit stuff yeah ,at least save the thread from it, i got my vega at MSRP day one buying with bitcoin not cash.
That's not shit compared to the Real shady shit you didn't watch you mean.
Let it go or can the shill in you not do that.
Same CUDA core count, similar memory bandwidth yet most report fewer ROPs.
performance tests between the two should be interesting. It would be really funny to build up all that hype just to launch it at the same performance level as the 1080 ti at the same msrp...
like "we heard you like the 1080 ti, so we launched a card that costs the same and performs the same with a slight internal configuration difference, ie it's cheaper for us to make..."
Ideally a previous gen part should not start like the current gen e.g. GT 710/730 with the 750(Ti) being Maxwell card. The laws allow it though & that's why companies get away with it, I could argue the same about phones but that's for another time.
On a more serious note: it looks to be a sidegrade OR near sidegrade for those with 1080 Ti/Titan X (Pascal)/Titan Xp. The high rollers are going to have to wait until 1Q OR even 1H of 2019 for their replacement cards. The picture is for hype reasons. Y'know the kind - placeholder picture(s) to generate hype, at minimal cost, since hype seems to maximize revenue now-a-days. Oh, and RGB anything.
As usual, my curiosity lies with the mid-range cards, but those will come much later. Around Christmas if we're lucky; otherwise we're looking at Spring 2019.

Also is it me or the CUDA cores count is pretty low, since it just matches the 1080Ti ??
This took me 3min to put together, the spacing is all wrong on the 1180, who ever PS this was crap i could do better.
This Vietnamese shop has actually accurately leaked other product launches before they happen by placing things on their store. So it's possible this is legit. But on the specs, I don't know. We'll see.
When I bought my 1080ti, the site I bought it from (Overclockers) had a comically bad page up. Of the 2 images shown at the time, 1 only shopped on one side, while the other was literally the 1080 without even a poor effort to shop any part of it. But I bought it the second it was available and they clearly threw those up as place holders.
BTW: you don't know Vietnamese very well... do you???!!!.... ://Evillaughs/
Just saying! Or not saying!
