New Rumors: GeForce GTX 1180, 2080
It has been a long time and a long road of rumors, however, the rumors now slowly seem to be solidifying. Nvidia would be briefing engineering employees for a new graphics card. The graphics card series would be Turing.
The name Turing has come up a couple of times already, Reuters at one point mentioned an NVIDIA GPU called Turing, they tagged it as a gamers card, which really contradicted with the name Turing. Turing would be a name better suited to AI and HPC products (Turing test for artificial intelligence). As to what it precisely is, nobody outside the ring of insiders really knows. Most of us expect a Pascal respin with GDDR6 memory though. As to what it's called, GeForce GTX 1180, 2080 we can only guess.
The latest rumor is that Nvidia would be training development and engineering departments, which really is all the news there is today. The rumor comes from Tom's Hardware Germany where they have "unofficially learned from some board partners that Nvidia has already started training the relevant employees from the development departments."
The piece they wrote contains a lot of usage of the word 'if'. Media also claim that a BoM (Bill of materials needed to produce these cards) would have been released, however, if you read the piece article a bit more clearly, it's merely based on an assumption.
"If you follow the 3-month rule, the first board partner cards should appear on the market in late August or early September. However, some of the partners are now expecting a shift of at least two weeks, so that September seems rather plausible"
Well, at least we know something is brewing in that kettle.
| BOM release | Bill Of Materials Release | begin |
|---|---|---|
| EVT | Engineering Validation Test | 1-2 weeks |
| DVT | Design Validation Test | 2 weeks |
| WS | Working sample | 1-2 weeks |
| EMI Test | Electromagnetic Interference Test | less than a week |
| PVT | Production Validation Test | 2-3 weeks |
| PVT sorting | ||
| PPBIOS | Final BIOS | a few days |
| Ramp & MP | Mass production and shipping | a few days |

Hardocp Site made a test maxing out "newer" games (rotr, divison, watchdogs2, gta5, etc) and even at 1440p a 1080ti was barely enough to have somewhat ok fps i.e. near or above 60fps min.. so no 1080ti is not strong enough at max game settings, this includes hfsl shadows, vxao, supersampling,..

Not sure everyone is willy nilly bound to max settings, esp if they are unaware how much of a difference each setting may visually make. Many settings are just overkill with little to show for it visually. Have owned several high refresh monitors since 2012 (1080p and 1440p) and chose to ditch them all for 4k 60hz even on a gtx1070. Granted I have to turn down settings and use a slightly lower custom res (3840x1620 for 21:9), I prefer this to a 1440p 120hz monitor which I still have as backup. Not into fast paced competitive games which of course may alter the nature of the argument.
The amount of tweaking you can do to compensate and balance performance vs IQ is astonishing really. All games run to my satisfaction, even AAA titles, and look better than they could ever be maxed out on a small lower res screens. Am also tolerant of dips under 60fps when they occur. I guess my views in this regard are in line with Hilberts re his "A word about FPS" preface to GPU benchmarks in the reviews.
This of course aside the many older games that run far more easily on 4k and still look good today. Then there is the matter of priorities, since 90% of my PC time is outside of gaming (browsing, movies, productivity) just seals the deal. Cannot go back to small, low res screens anymore. For those who live, breath fast competitive gaming, I can understand the wish to stick to small 1080p high refresh screens.

4k performance leaves a lot to be desired on a 1080ti even with overclocking. What I'd suggest for 4k display owners to do while Nvidia is being shady/taking advantage, is to set a custom resolution in nvcp of 3584x2016 and use it for all the games you can't reach ultra 60fps at 4k. This resolution looks great on a 4k screen and is better than lowering settings. You can also try 3456x1944 for extremely demanding games like rise of the tomb raider and ffxv.

I game on a 4k TV and use it as my monitor so making the jump to 4k wasn't nearly expensive.
