Nah, warframe will have it before star citizen does...so I'm guessing 1380... (and i'm being serious)

You are very generous sir, I have lost all hope for SC release, but that's straight up my opinion, not something I will debate since it seems to be a hot bed topic on this forum.

Fark fark fark fark I just ordered an MSI GTX 1080 from Amazon about 10 hours ago... I am so torn, I've wanted a new video card for over a year. Should I cancel?

Did you get a good price? If you did, you may not want to worry about it. Nvidia has no rush to push anything new for awhile as AMD hasn't pushed them to. They still own the top of the hill, so why compete with themselves?

Because of this, I'd expect the 11* series to come in at a much higher MSRP, allowing for the remaining 10* series to flush out of the supply channel.

same. still on a 7970 because... theres no reason right now to stop playing cs go. new DOOM was the best single player fps ive tried for awhile... nothing with that half-life or crysis feeling had hit for almost a decade it seems... nothing that makes you feel like your a truly experiencing a "next gen" title and you needed to upgrade to run it.

Awesome! Wow, if this thing can handle 4k gaming at 100fps I'm sold! Hell I might have to get one of those OLED 144hz 4k tvs and piss my wife off!

You might want to get an AMD card and a Freesync Samsung QLED instead. Will end up being better for gaming than the OLED sets.
 
NVIDIA could release it now. Overstock be damned and here's why

All they have to do is price the new series higher than the old series based on the performance increase.

Let's say 1180 is 30% faster on average than a 1080. Price it 30% more.

If a 1160 matches a 1080, make the 1160 $50 more because it's the next generation.

Just rebrand and restructure the old chips alongside the new chips (ALA the way AMD did 280X versus 285x)

People would still vote with their dollars. And because the prices of the new stuff is higher, it would encourage people to by the old stuff because they would be like "F that price" While the "more money than brains" & miners group would buy them up, thus maximizing nvidia's profit.

NVIDIA wouldn't really need to price the old line down. They really don't have competition price/performance wise till the 1060 / RX580

Attempting to cancel...

I'm upgrading from a GTX 770, which is pretty old. (text deleted)

But I've finally got the cash saved up, and I'm sick from waiting through that crypto mining mess. My monitor is good, a 28" Dell IPS 2560x1440 60hz, it looks great and will do me fine for the present. The rest of my system is aged - It's a 2700K with 16GB of RAM, so I don't have access to the newer SSD interfaces. But I'm not buying a new (Intel) system until they have Spectre and Meltdown secured in hardware. A video card is what I want, but I don't feel good dropping $500 when new cards are coming in 30 days.

FWIW.... I upgraded from a 980 to a 1080 video card earlier this month. The 1080 easily drives a 2K monitor, and you should easily get 60 FPS on most games (the exceptions, of course, being badly optimized games). The limiting factor is the 60 FPS of your monitor, but the big problem is that if you were to replace your monitor, you would want to go with a G-Sync, and those are a tag expensive (but worth it).

Now, how do I sell my 980....
 
Q: When was the last time Nvidia released a new series that a.) wasn't a refresh; and b.) directly competed with their current series, and wasn't in response to an AMD release?

When is star citizen going to be finished!?!?

I remember thinking, in 2014, that I should buy Elite Dangerous over Star Citizen. That way I could get my space sim itch scratched untill SC comes out. Started and stopped playing ED three times since then. Looks like we’re going to be doing all the things SC promised in ED by the time SC finally arrives. Last time I bought a new rig for a game, it never got released. I upgraded my computer for VR and the Rift got pushed back a year. Now I just buy the latest and greatest TI when it get’s released, at retail price. That way I get to enjoy it for the longest time. Used to run tri-sli with three, thirty inch, 2560x1600 monitors. Since I switched to a single 55 inch 4K monitor I run only one GPU so even the latest and greatest is now “sort of” affordable. Last year I bought three MSI 1080ti’s at retail. They were too big to fit my rig. Returned them for three vanilla EVGA 1080ti’s. After switching to the 4k tv sold two 1080ti’s on Ebay for $650 a piece. This was right before the mining induced shortage. Normally keep my older cards in secundary riggs but, with the way new tech normally drops in price, thought it wiser to get rid of them right away. Missed gouching opportunity if there ever was one.

Try Hunt Showdown or Vermintide 2 and report back.
 
1070 and in a holding pattern for now.

I'm at 1440p monitors and 1070 is perfect for that. I'd like to go to a big ass (BFG would be nice but those things are never going to ship at realistic prices) 4k monitor, but I don't want to drop $500 on a monitor then have to spend $1000 on video card(s) just to get back up to 60fps. And THEN get to go back to work every day on shitty 10 year old 1080p TN monitors that suck ass. I have a hard enough time with my work monitors now. If I did upgrade I might just consider taking my 1440's to work.

LOL as it is now when I work from home and I have to do screen sharing, everyone complains that it is so tiny they can't see it (1440p apparently doesn't look so great on a 1080p laptop screen). I tell them to use the zoom feature and suck it. But they have made me rez down to 1080p a couple times, pisses me off.

He's referring to the newest Warfare update where they have a SC-esque game mode.
 
This email looks pretty fake to me, but uh... whatever. I said in another topic I was pretty sick of Nvidia's crappy practices, and I kinda meant it. Problem is that going down the benchmarks, I'm not sure if I could go to AMD at this point and call it anything but something between a sidegrade and an upgrade...

Guess I'll be sticking with this 980Ti for a hella lot longer....

4k60 is really not that hard to run. I got my first 4k panel and used an R9 290 for it. Cheapo 4k monitors are near $200 and a 1070 can easily do it with lowered settings. 1440p144hz is far more GPU intensive.

It looks great, but honestly 144hz is far more important.

Thing is, 60Hz sucks. Most of these 1440p monitors are excellently tested gaming monitors with extremely low input delay and G-Sync. My RoG Swift is still as amazing for gaming on as I got it when it was released, and I'm playing Far Cry Primal on a 980 Ti with jacked up graphics, pretty darn smoothly. Whether it's running at 50Hz or 120Hz+, it's still going to be a better gaming experience. Much less intensive on average, too.

False. It's only about 6% more pixels/second.

I am just musing here, but it's not just fill rate. It's gotta be able to move/compute 2.4x the amount of geometry data too. What this means in reality, I have no idea! It might be lost in the noise, or just stress software api overhead, etc.

I like what you're thinking, but I'd rather do 60fps all maxxed out than more fps. And I'm not a competitive FPS gamer, so I could care less about 100+hz. And when I do play shooters, 60 is fine, I'm not an e-sports dude

I'm not either and I can't stand 60hz in many games now. I still use 4k60 for a lot of games where the CPU is limited. But I know many friends who feel the same as you. I love how cheap budget 4k60 monitors are getting for this reason.

Yea no clue about Warframe.....I was just referring to SC's consistent milestone misses. I lost all hope a few years ago.
 
this is interesting... might have to pick up a used 1080 on the cheap when the 1100's come out. im still running 1080p so this will be just for a dedicated Rift rig. Was going to wait till next year but, if the price is right...
 
I just bought a 60hz ultrawide last year. When I can get a 144hz 3440x1440 monitor and a GPU that can drive that resolution at 144 fps for under $1200 I'll do it. I'm not spending $2,000 just on a monitor and GPU that can't do it.

But then I'm he kind of guy who doesn't see the point of getting a 1080ti for $800 only to have it surpassed in 18 months by the next gens XX70 series card for $400. That's why I went from a 770 to a 1070 and I'll likely wait for a 1270 or similar before I upgrade again.
 
Do we know when the 11xx series is hitting laptops? Was thinking of picking up a gaming laptop now that the new MacBook Pros have pretty much shit the bed.

A year out.

Assuming you are talking 1160?

1170 and 1180 will be released 3-6 months before 1160
 
We need to slow down production of new cards. I am literally a month away from owning a 1080TI and now I have to wait a few weeks longer to see if I can snag a 1180. If this guy is wrong, I hope a manure truck crashes into his living room.

More like a faction of AMD anklebiters emboldened by the site's owner spent weeks screaming into pillows about GPP and NDAs like any of it amounted to anything in the grand scheme.

Screaming because deep down they know framerates are king, and highest frames delivered at the lowest power with the most OC headroom is where Nvidia will continue to dominate, regardless of the occasional missteps of it's marketing boneheads.

Also, anyone that bellied up to an Nvidia bashing thread feeling the need to make some grand "never again Nvidia, next time AMD" proclamation is pretty much telling "yeah, when no one's looking - just my credit card and I - it's gonna be Nvidia. Need my frames, gotta have my frames, want my frames" and they'll be camped out at Newegg on launch day giving F5 some business.

If this is accurate I'd say based on that 1180+ that the discombobulated pile of parts in the alternate 1030, 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080(vram) versions we've seen over the last year is only the beginning.

Coming soon! 1130-, 1150-, 1160++, 1170 Double ++. Grab 'em while they're hot or we find more scrap parts to pair on them!

Also available from unknown sources, GPU's marketed with the same name but different sku's! Be one of the lucky few and roll the dice.
