btarunr40-100% performance gains over the previous generation

cucker tarlsonIf this is 800/+1000 like some leaks say, then don't bother Durvelle. Wait for AMD to announce 7nm Navi/Vega, bigger choice and lower prices are always better.

cucker tarlsonSo you know what your next gpu won't be then.

Durvelle27I’m just seeing how it’s plays out. Currently have a GTX 960 which is the only Nvidia card I’ve used in 5 years but anything current is a upgrade over it.

coonbrolol..... '''company could launch the GeForce RTX 2080 and the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti simultaneously, to convince GeForce "Pascal" users to upgrade ''' I'm a Maxwell user when it decides to pop , spark ,and blow smoke then I may be convinced to ''upgrade'' then at that I'd have to think long and hard if its even worth it anymore with todays rbg junk , my pc building enthusiasm is at a all time low with the state of todays software limited support and todays hardware gimmicked up and also limited support . then add that malware service called win-10 on top of all that , think i'll pass

medi01It also happens to be exceptionally poor perf/buck, even by nvidia's not-that stellar standards.

Durvelle27Welp id be thoroughly surprised if the leaked prices are wrong and it’s comes in under sub $700

bugBecause you know exactly how much he paid for it :wtf:
But yes, I've had Nvidia ever since my 6600GT, yet the 960 was one card I skipped without thinking twice. My 660Ti carried me all the way to my current 1060.


They won't be cheap, because they have no competition. But pre-release prices are always inflated.

Raendor"The company's strategy appears to be to establish 40-100% performance gains over the previous generation"

Lol, looking at these specs - I highly doubt that. No intention to switch from 1080 so far. Especially with all the cards being showed as 3 slots so far. neither my Define C nor Node 202 cases are even fit for hot gpus. Upgrade after this gen? That's more likely.

coonbro''I've had Nvidia ever since my 6600GT, yet the 960 was one card I skipped without thinking twice''

I still run a build with a 6600 apgx8 and as for as the 900 card goes I grabbed one cause it was the last of the cards that offered me full support of all my needs not having to buy new monitors or junk well working software cause it was not win-10 only , ect....

this 900 card is plug and play with all I run and use a 10 series or newer cant say or do that at all and funny you still pay as much or even more for it to limit you and your needs [I guess they know fools and there money are soon parted ] ya, computer building has become a money grab joke . I'm pretty well done with it

bugI'm also not sure where that came from. Upgrading from one generation to the next never made much sense, regardless of the generation or manufacturer (doesn't make sense for smartphones, cameras or cars either). Upgrading after two generations makes more sense. And if you're not gaming much, you can keep your card for three generations or more.


Of course you bought what you needed at the time, you don't need to justify that. It's people that lend advice without knowing you or your needs that are hilarious around here.
In my case, I skipped the 760 because it was only like 10% faster than my 660Ti and then the 960 was 10% faster than the 760. That would have never allowed me to play with more AA, let alone at higher resolutions. Going from the 660Ti to the 1060, however, meant that a mostly maxed out Witcher 3 no longer looked like a slideshow ;)

Vya DomusLooking at that 2080+ I can't help but think that Nvidia shifted the product stack yet again in terms of relative performance.

1070 replaced by 2080
1070ti replaced by 2080+
1080 replaced by 2080ti

bugMy rule is simple: it has to be under $300 (under $250 is best) and significantly better than what I already own.
Till recently it had to be Nvidia because AMD sucked on Linux. Now AMD is an option for Linux, but their current lineup sucks. So...


Yes, you can totally get all that from a + :kookoo:

Vayra86Get a 1080 ;)
