Bad timing for a launch, the hype for ryzen will be beyond 100% that week.

It's probably not even a launch but merely an announcement when the launch will happen. Also, Ryzen = CPU, 1080Ti = GPU, not sure how much either will have impact on the other.

The AMD event on 28th will not only be about Ryzen, Vega will take a good part on it. i can allready tell you that if they announce, a 1080TI, they will try to cut the Vega launch ( who will not been available quickly after ) and use it as momentum for announce the release of the their own product. With a good amount of possibility that they set the release of the 1080TI just before Vega launch.

sure they will remind us that vega is getting closer also so nvidia might want to cut some of the spotlight ...after all announcements and leaks are publicity you want everyone around talking about your product not your competitors .... i am pretty sure a lot of the leaks are fabricated ....after all is free publicity and can build up quiet the hype

Ahh, I kind of missed that they were talking about Vega too, my bad then. Yes, probably PR battle like you guys said then.

Like pretty much every leak of Ryzen? 🤓 In the end it doesn't help at all, we need real reviews and real benches, not what they leak (which of course only shows each companies product in the best light possible, that's only what they want us to see and probably not the whole picture).

Well nVidia are right...Vega should be launched on the 28th.

AMD will probably detail Vega further on the 28th, but it's not being launched. They said Q2 in the investor conference - probably launching May/June.

They'll probably "soft launch" the Ti at the GDC event with availability mid to late March. I can't imagine them waiting longer to launch it - especially if it's not going to be the full GP102 chip.

Well I hope so I am getting a little tired of all the speculation.

not all of em have to be ...leaks in quotes but a lot of em have to be ...except if everyone has an es sample ...except us ! on the other hand remember the guy that was claiming to have a bulldozer and that he brought it from the blackmarket and gave full benchmarks and everybody in the internet was laughing with him not believing him and when it lunched he was 100% accurate and he wrote even a post of his "triumph " if i recall correctly !

Yeah I remember, but clearly that was the exception of the rule 😉 It's just funny how those leaks usually have no souce (they are leaks after all), but hardly are accurate. Then there's always that "unoptimized driver" thing... which makes the benches useless again, when products launch people get their drivers and things look different again. I'm just a little bored by those leaks all the time, things usually look quite different once hardware is around, for better or worse.

£850 GTX 1080 Ti in bound then? I would be excited about it if not for the guaranteed-to-be-shockingly-high price that it will no doubt launch for. After all the GTX 1080 was announced with a £600 price for the reference model... sorry the Founder's Edition with its added NVIDIA Premium Tax... yet for months the cards sold for £50-£100 more than that here in the UK. I cannot imagine for one second that the GTX 1080 Ti will sell for the same £600 even though, IMO, it should with the older GTX 1080 being discounted to £500. NVIDIA won't do it though because (a) they're greedy; and (b) they know people will pay £800-£850 for the GTX 1080 Ti due it looking like good value alongside the ridiculous overpriced Titan X Pascal at £1,100!

28 Feb? The same sneaky marketing crap from them. Better event from Ryzen launch or paper launch of Gtx-whatever-name-has? We already have an Gtx10-RX-R9,we need an more powerful CPU with many cores/threads. 🙂

Funny how people seemingly want to forget that we do have powerful CPUs with more than four cores and 8 threads, they are just expansive.

Will not be expensive,soon. 🙂 The Intel's 6c/8c are expensive.

I wonder, if real, how close to the Titan X this is. It will probably be a 320-384bit card, possibly with 10% less shaders. But Pascal again.

They need it to be titan level performance, marketing reasons.

How is it sneaky marketing crap? It's GDC.. And Ryzen has nothing to do with Nvidia, in fact AMD has shown multiple Ryzen systems running with Nvidia cards.

Also worth noting the Titan X has been out of stock on Nvidia's site for over 2 weeks. Coincidence?

EVGA GTX 1080ti Hybrid FTW??? I'll take 2 please, hopefully soon, 🙂

I seriously doubt that AMD will have Vega ready in Q1. All of the cards at CES were still engineering samples on engineering PCBs, and there was no indication of AIBs having cards at all. Mid Q2 is far more likely. On the other hand, ASUS had some retail-ready cards running the new HDR displays at their CES suite that they would not discuss (see Linus Tech Tips' CES video "The GOD of Monitors - ROG Swift PG27UQ" at around the 1:30 point - sorry, first post here or I would link). If they were Titans, 1080s or Quadros there would have been no reason to be tight-lipped, so they were likely a couple of Ti boards, and the rumors of the Ti being ready for launch at CES were true. If that was the case, then this will not be a paper launch, and there will be both AIB and FE cards ready for sale at the time of the announcement. There are other indications of the 1080 being supplanted, like the lack of stock on most of the high-end OC'd versions, the prices of most of the basic AIB cards slipping to under $600, and the launch of new versions of the 1080 by both EVGA and Gigabyte (likely they built the new cooling solutions for both the Ti and the 1080, and wanted the buzz out there about how good they were before the Ti launch). With Vega being by all indications only as fast as a regular 1080, the Ti having a 2-3 month head start will take some of the wind out of AMD's sails, especially if the Ti launches at the current $600-700 price point of the 1080. That would force AMD to launch Vega at a price point lower than the Ti, further eating into their profits. It's all speculation at this point, of course, but logically it all fits.
