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.

Also, as far as I remember there was no GTX 390, while the 3xx series where a rebrand of the 2xx series, there was never a flagship release, cards in the 3xx series we're mostly only available to OEMs, and nvidia all but skipped the 3xx moniker and went directly to the 4xx series, they did the same thing with the 8xx series.
Back on topic, yea, this is basically a poor photoshop of the 1080 Strix, I should know, I have two of those cards, the specs might also be off but we'll find out soon.
I recommend extreme caution preordering any of these cards, until we have official confirmation from Nvidia about the 11xx or 20xx series, whatever they decide to use.
On a side note, I have no preference for a specific numbering scheme for the new cards, all I want is an upgrade to an architecture that has been around over 2 years already...
Holy shit you guys all gotta settle down though. lol......
I remember upgrading to the 580 a year after, and what a difference that was... Good times.
Anyway, apologies to the OP for the mistake, just an old fart talking about old technology you kids probably don't remember anything about.
As for settling down... All I can say is: get off my lawn! :laugh::kookoo:
I had the 6MB Canopus version of the Voodoo, man I loved that card, a big upgrade from my S3 3D "decelarator" hahaha
I tip my hat to you sir :respect:
Nowadays we have stagantion and a market driven by the whims of supply and demand, I miss the old days hahaHahaha yeah, you get the idea :p
I still like what we have now. The blazing fast GPUs that can render unbelievable resolutions, technologies like variable refresh rate, though they both come at a hefty price.
If someone back then showed me a game like Witcher 3 running at 100fps on a 3440x1440 ultrawide curved LED panel, with everything just butter smooth and no tearing/lag thanks to g-sync, I'd crap my pants instantly. Now it's becoming standard for enthusiast PC builders.
We are way overdue for an update to what's currently available in the market, also, price fluctuations during the last generation of video cards have really left a bad taste in my mouth.
Here's hoping for more market stability once the overloards at AMD and Nvidia finally clear their inventories and decide to release their new video cards :toast:
btw, if we're talking rumours and fake news here, I've seen people say they're bringing back separate shadow clock/core clock speed, known from their eariler cards.
I've also got a 1080 (see specs) and it blows both of these cards away in every way, as you'd expect.
I can't believe how much nicer this thread is without the screeching of the guy.
Why a crappy photoshopping like this made it even to TPU news? o_O
