NVIDIA Is promising "spectacular surprises" at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, Germany on the days of August 20th and 21st. 1180? 1180+? 2080? Let's hope so. We don't know, but the fish head does.

​
The event will be loaded with new, exclusive, hands-on demos of the hottest upcoming games, stage presentations from the world’s biggest game developers, and some spectacular surprises.

1180 that is really an overclocked 1080ti
and it's only $2.000 !!!

Rebadging has been more of an AMD thing lately.

nVidia hasn’t been a let down with GPU releases and they are usually impressive. On the PR side it’s been a bit rough. I’ll watch the presentation the day of if they have one.
 
My guess is rebates on a 1080 card or a free game with each purchase :)
 
I'll mark my calendar for the duesy of a thread that will follow.

Better have Linux drivers out the gate, or my money goes to red.

Nvidia pretty much always has Linux drivers come out around the same time for video card releases. Considering AMD's performance in Linux is still worse then NVidia's (though it is getting much better compared to 5 years ago) .

Currently AMD doesn't have a competitor to the 1080Ti, and if time is important to you I don't see a comparable AMD card in the pipeline till at least 1.5+ yrs away.
 
inb4 they announce a 1080ti2 with 5% higher base clocks and say sorry volta won't be out til 2019. ;)

You're both right. I believe it's a European thing to use a '.' for the thousands separator and a ',' for the decimal separator.

I'm Irish, therefore a European....wtf are you talking about Willis

:D

And now that I have a 1080Ti...I won't be upgrading my card for a few years....so none of this matters to me
Why am I commenting on this thread....well theres the question
 
I’m pretty sure that the only thing spectacular will be the price of the higher end cards. Record setting spectacular.

I’m also looking forward to seeing wannabe Captain Kirk on stage with his woodscrew band.

The only "spectacular surprise" I could imagine would be an nnouncemebt that next gen GPU's are still a year off so they can sell off their high post crypto-boom GPU inventories at full price first :p

Until AMD comes out with something that takes the performance crown, they just don't have a ton of incentive to push forward.
 
I wouldn't mind a return to a truly competitive GPU market with 3+ real competitors.

In 2000-2003 the fastest GPU money could buy cost about $350. There has been some inflation since, but not enough to account for the ridiculous costs of modern GPU's.

Because of the lack of competition release scheduled have slowed (In 2000, Nvidia was launching a new GPU generation every 6 months) and pricing has go e thorough the roof.

Maybe if AMD's RTG gets their shit together now that AMD has had success with Ryzen and can afford R&D again and Intel follows through on their discrete GPU plans this time, we might actually return there.
