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.

Nvidia is using APPLES CRUMBS 101 play book tactic. Give them a little bit but not too much where they will need a newer product soon again. I can't stand Nvidia's weird memory configurations on some of their cards. Playing games will soon need at least 4GB while this card will slow down during that memory limit. This is like them making a car engine and the last fuel injector shoots is rated at 27lbs while the other 7 injectors are rated 28lbs.

I'm gonna ask you to stop going with the troll posts. All your posts have been negative about one company or another.

It's not really sweet after Maxwell and Pascal. 1180 seems to be around 1080Ti. In the former 2 generations, the x70 beat the earlier x80Ti
Who needs a 1050 with 3GB? :O
Sweet!

I meant sweet as in new gpu's... :p

Really been using this sight for many many years and finally signed up and we can't voice our opinions on how we feel? I have read many rude comments and swears in the past 7-10 years. I guess send me a manually on what I can say.

though stronger I played around with a 1050ti the other day "I was left very impressed" ...it did have a 6pin connector I remember....
1060/6Gb is a very strong card for 1080p.

I just hope the 1180ti can play games at 4k with ease at 60fps ultra settings. I miss the feeling of buying a beast card and having it just crush every game without breaking a sweat. That's what my 1070 did at 1080p. After getting a 4k screen and a 1080ti, my 1080ti feels like a really expensive mid range card. Requiring settings to be knocked down and custom resolutions just to maintain 60fps. I do realize that 4k is super demanding but I still feel it's not out of our reach and if Nvidia actually had some competition, we'd already have cards that could easily handle 4k.

whatever it is that will end up getting released at the top end will absolutely need to play games at ultra, 4k 60fps...at a minimum.
in reality the "2070" should be that card and the "1180" should do over 100fps at 4k.
if that doesn't happen the gamer market will revolt due to unrealized expectations. and AMD will get default sales.
