NVIDIA Posts Cryptic #BeForTheGame Video Pointing at 20th August
When NVIDIA debuted its "Turing" GPU architecture through its recent Quadro RTX series, PC enthusiasts felt being left hung and dry. The occasion was SIGGRAPH, the biggest annual expo of digital content creators, and so a Quadro unveiling felt fitting. Come 21st August, and Gamescom will be almost upon us. NVIDIA is planning its own event in host city Cologne a day earlier. The theme of the event is "Be For The Game."
NVIDIA posted the mother of all teasers pointing to the August 20 event. It doesn't mention a new product launch, but there are enough hints, such as the back-plate reminiscent of TITAN V, combined with glossy green and black surfaces that look similar to the Quadro RTX reference boards. The video winks at both gamers and PC enthusiasts, with the first half depicting a sick build being put together. We can't wait!

There has always been a one step down improvement in next line over previous lineup models.
This is why you don’t buy down either, just because it is faster than your current card once you are at a level (I.e. 1080ti to 2080). Always buy the same tier or higher as a replacement, or eventually you will end up with a x030 model as your primary card, wondering why you can only play your old games at full throttle.
what you are claiming with tiers is more dependent on the pace at which gaming industry progresses and your target resolution than some sort of formula. my 1080 is doing better two years after launch than my 980 did two years after launch, cause 2014-2016 saw a lot of very demanding games while 2017-18 was pretty stagnant, meanwhile I stayed at the same resolution. Next two years will be stagnation too except for this ray tracing stuff until next gen consoles launch, but that's like 2 years from now.
See, 500mm2 is insanely big for a 256 bit memory type. usually in the 260-330 mm2 range. RTX 3080 on 7nm will fix things.
Supposed by whom ? I have never seen anyone in a sane mind claim next gen is 7nm and 2.5GHz.
500mm2 is the whole chip with rt and tensor, not a traditional fp32 -only one. 980 was 400mm2 so not all of them are 260-300mm2.
Now you're saying "2080 will not be faster than 1080Ti like 1080 was to 980Ti", before you said it will be slower. I'm pretty sure you're trolling in most of your statements.
Its economically the best move for Nvidia. Still is. And I dont see how they will make huge jumps from Pascal either especially when they are adding a new resource to the die. Full GV100 per core performance is too low to make the jumps some ppl claim.
If it can't beat 1080Ti on general performance it's going to be a flop, despite RT features.
They deserve to be ignored (from me) just for this alone. lol
Then again, I guess Tesla isn't all that big.
