Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 with 3GB VRAM and GeForce GTX 1180 Rumor
First, let me address something, there are a number of news items spreading on the web on a potential GeForce GTX 1180, a Volta based GeForce GTX 1180 is spotted in the TPU database and added to that are speculative specifications.
These specifications are based on loose and expected numbers drawn from the original Volta design, yet now with GDDR6 memory. Some others write the most far our details, others say it's reference sample. However, to date, it's nothing even remotely confirmed and really could be considered as clickbait content.
These details seem to be based on speculated specifications that appeared in previous leaks, including assumptions of a TSMC’s 12nm FinFET process, 3584 CUDA cores, 224 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs up to a listed 200 Watt TDP and very specific GPU and Boost clocks. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, I wouldn't mind being completely wrong here though, as hey, them specs would be lovely. I can only leave it at that though.
More substantial is the rumor that Nvidia is working on a 3GB version of its GeForce GTX 1050. The card should fill the gap between the GTX 1050 with 2GB and the GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB. it will be interesting to see how that would work out memory controller wise though. This news reached us though Expreview, that could also mean the release is intended just for the Chinese market.

Limited bus width on the 1050 with 3gb though. Closer it gets to that 3gb of usage, the more the FPS will tank unless Nvidia is using a different memory configuration.

Looks like an underclocked 1080ti.

"fake news".
Nvidia is absolutely not releasing that as a Pascal replacement.
they are going to be stripping off all non game related technology to force Deep Learning, A.I., and Big Data to buy Quadro's.
Period.
they have been "giving away" hundreds of millions of dollars by not doing this in the past, and now these industries are maturing.
