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!



The video follows.

Wonder what direction NVIDIA will take with its RTX 2080 card. Will they go 66% of full core again as a sub 200W flagship, and a year later give us the 90% 275W~ one, similar to 1080 \ Ti?

Hmmm... It's gonna be interesting. That's for sure.

I don't think we're getting a "ti" until 7nm, 2080 will be pretty big despite beng TU104 cause of all the extra rt cores and tensor.Especially if all AMD has is 7nm Vega with higher clocks and 4 stack HBM. The leak says 2080 is 1080 +50%, no way can vega 7nm achieve +50% from die shrink and higher bandwidth. 40% would be very generous, +30-35% is probably where it's gonna be. Though they'll be making a lot of quadro 8000,6000 and Titan RTX cards, they'd wanna sell the chips that won't make it too. Unless what we saw was not TU100 but TU102, and it's cut already.

It's on normal 180 TDP slot, but the Virtuallink usb-c needs that extra ~30W -> so the RTX 2080 will be 210W card. Still doable with single 8-pin(or 2x6-pins), but nvidia has usually use 6-pin + 8-pin if it goes too close to pcie spec wattage limit(in this case 225W).

We are getting both 2080 slower than 1080ti, and 2080ti about 20% faster. Both being the cut down versions of quadro RTX to 2944 and 4352 core. Those are RT104 RT102 btw AdireTV got it wrong.

Why would they release a flagship that's slower than 1080Ti from march 17 ? We don't know the clock yet,though 750mm2 turing has a higher boost clock than P100 (1.75Ghz vs 1.44Ghz, +20%). There's also improvements to SM and CUDA themselves. I don't know hwo you calculated 2080 performance,but I'm 99,99% sure you're wrong.

The flagship is 2080Ti. has been all along, that is what they called the would be 1180 in the end.
Calculations are beased on TitanV. No miracles here. 2944 core RT104< 3584 GP102 < 4352 Core RT102.

I have never seen them release a new gen that's slower than least gen.

Ugh.. it is clearly addresed in the article.
SIGGRAPH, the biggest annual expo of digital content creators, and so a Quadro unveiling felt fitting

Now if the event has 'Game' name like
Gamescom will be almost upon us
and they release Quadro instead Geforce then you can grab your pitchfork.

Calculations are beased on TitanV. For this is TitanV with GDDR6 afterall. No miracles here. 2944 core RT104< :love: 3584 GP102 < 4352 Core RT102.
But Titan V is Volta man,and it's a research/compute card. 2080 is turing and it's a gaming card. Your claims make zero sense, why would they release a next gen card that's slower than last gen, 1.5 year later ?

After Fermi, xx80 has always been full xx-104 chip. I don't see reason why would they change that. I would expect 2080 to be quite equal with gtx1080ti in performance. But that all depends on achievable clocks(Some says Turing can overclock as high as 2.5GHz).

Why would they release a flagship that's slower than 1080Ti from march 17 ?

It has new tech what old flagship does not have. And because amd has no competitive highest end product, nvidia could add some new features instead of going brute force with core count. It is plausible that there were smaller Volta's on the table and turing would have been 7nm product. But without real competition they went with new tech and old very well known 12nm(16nm FF++) manufacturing process instead.

Still,if that 2080 is slower than 15 month old 1080Ti it'll be the laughing stock of the world :laugh:

So Nvidia's PR department is probably chock full of .. nuts. They are trying to be cutesy again, it happens way too often, its like letting a child paint the company image full of grownups, only there are idiots too.

I don't get how one can be angry at a bland event invitation video. What did you expect, shooting laser beams from ass ?


btw I'm waiting for GeForce RTG 3080, with a hardware x-ray scanner.

GTX 780 was gimped GK100 so not all Gx104 have been xx80

Geforce RTX based on RT102 works at base clocks of 1350 Mhz. 2.5Ghz is not possible in TDP 250 watts.
They can barely do 1.75. and then throttle back to 1,35 under heavy load.

We have seen all we need with Quadro RTX release, full chip enabled 24/48GB, whereas Geforce will have 256 less cuda, 1 channel missing for 11GB video buffer instead and much worse triangles per second performance for professionals. But hey only 5 days left. Oh and Huang is god.

#BeForTheGame doesn't make sense, unless it's Chinglish.
#BeforeTheGame does, or perhaps #ForGaming.
Their marketing division needs to graduate high school before attempting things like this.
