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 |

No, what he said was in regards to a Volta Geforce product.
Since this isn't a volta product.......
sick of these rumors, CEO said not for a long time. until I see a nvidia talking head with planned dates I am not holding my breath for a 1180 mass release until 2019. maybe they will have a limited release from nvidia store in late 2018 like Volta. remember 2017 rumors, they had 1180 debuting in January 2018 LMAO.

Guessing it would be using 8x or 16x for Witcher 3 though I don't think there's a way to check. I've been using 32x manually since there's a slight performance gain and little to no visual difference though 16x from 32x is probably almost the same if the user wants even more performance.
Though I suppose for a test you would usually stick to the defaults.
For the others well Vega is good at shaders so I can see it doing a good job with GameWorks due to that, still a bit of a problem with geometry though but it's doing better than the previous GPU models.
(Watch_Dogs 2 can do pretty well with extra draw distance up to around 50% though above that it really hits both AMD and NVIDIA GPU's and the CPU since it just pushes the draw distance so far out.)
EDIT: I do want to see what the new cards can do but I wonder when these will be available.
If AMD is really going for mid-range for 2019 then NVIDIA would be in no hurry since the 1080Ti is still the fastest on the market.
(And they can likely get a new card out ahead of AMD too depending on how far into 2019 they're planning for that GPU release or just slash pricing a bit more.)
hmm.. I wonder if "AMD optimized" tessellation setting has anything to do with that ^^
