Vietnamese store put up preorder for ASUS ROG STRIX 1180
A Vietnamese store has placed a preorder for the ASUS ROG STRIX 1180 online. Interesting as Reddit user samcuu who posted this claims this is a reputable store, he does not see a reason for them to be fooling around.
So basically the shop claims the card will be in stock on September 28th and would be a 12nm based Pascal respin with faster graphics memory(GDDR6) tagged as Turing (GT104). Notice that the 3584 CUDA cores listed are a similar amount to the 1080 Ti, and that thus hints at a Pascal respin at 12nm.
- GPU: GT104
- 3584 CUDA cores
- Memory type: GDDR6 Micron - new architecture
- Size: 16GB
- Memory BUS: 256-bit
- Memory Speed: 14.0 Gbps
The preorder price is listed at only ~$1530 (I know). The photos that have been posted along with the listing DEFINITELY are photoshopped. Make if this what you will. Have a peek, and I'll just leave this for what it is, likely clickbait, albeit the specs really wouldn't surprise me to be real as it is confirming what we've been saying all along. A Pascal refresh called Turing with GDDR6. And yes, interesting is a mention of a release date, September 28th. The VN page has been taken offline but was listed here.

I don't think they would release the Ti model first anyway.

I can do better with mspaint.

This. Titan, then 1180, then sometime half a year later 1180Ti.

Personally, I will be disappointed if after all this time it will be a simple Refresh with GDDR6 and process shrink. Especially with a price tag such as this, what sane person will go for this instead of 1080Ti? Exactly, nobody.
As Hilber said, a most likely a clickbait.
Regardless of this pointless news piece, we will see a 12nm + GDDR6 product, 7nm is not feasible for Nvidia this year at a big scale like geforce products...
I don't see this as an issue, AMD is a non-factor at the moment, Nvidia doesn't need to jump the gun here and release a product that would hurt their existing products in the market...

It was the site admin setting up the pages for the actual product. When they get the green light and actual product INFO to sell, the site will be ready to go with a few inserts, instead of making up the whole thing and losing sales time. Cuz we know they are gonna go FAST.

While this makes sense, they can do what AMD is doing with the 2800X, holding a more powerful product for later.
There's the Ti so far, they can always make a better one that's not a Titan.
Either way 1500$ would still be way too much even for a 1180 Ti, something like 1000 for the Ti and 750 for the 1180, 500 for the 1170 would make more sense.
Altho with nothing from AMD until next year they will certainly won't make prices low, just compare the price of the 970 vs the 1070 when both released.

No surprise for me. There´s little reason for Nvidia to release a completly new GPU when their current line up is still faster than AMD can offer... So they just need a little refresh and job done...
No competition, no fun... For consumers, of course.

I wrote 1080Ti, not 1180Ti.

AMD is relevant because they have additional technologies around. FS screens still cost at least $100 less for same model.
Then you connect your gaming console and what, you can use same FS screen.
Get nVidia GPU, pay extra for G-Sync, and then buy another FS screen for console. So, while AMD's GPUs are still overpriced (thanks shops), their ecosystem is pretty competitive in price.
But I think nVidia going 7nm is not jumping the gun as factories should be already doing fine. I think it would be cementing GPU technological lead. (That's till Navi comes.)
And I am pretty sure, nVidia can make awesome Tegra chips on 7nm too.

No freekin' way this is the same Pascal with the same number of shaders, two years later.
NVidia would shoot itself in the foot if they released something like this. GDDR6 doesn't add much or any benefit over GDDR5x which current High-end Pascal uses, it's just a bit lower power and probably lower RAM chip costs as well.

That's not how the market works. Just look at any hardware gaming survey out there. AMD is a joke in terms of market share. it is especially apparent in the high end market.
Nvidia is now after the AI/DataCenter markets. that's where their efforts and money goes. gaming is neglected.

So basically it's a 1080 TiTi, as said in another thread, one can never have enough titties. :p
