NVIDIA's GTX 1080Ti - Expected Launch by CES 2017 (January 5th-8th)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti expected to launch by CES 2017. "Just a couple of weeks ago we reported that Nvidia’s announcement that its CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was going to “break news” regarding a new gaming product. A couple of weeks before that we reported on the alleged GTX 1080 Ti specifications that surfaced on the web. Which indicated that the 1080 Ti will, for all intents and purposes, render the GTX Titan X Pascal effectively obsolete. Delivering nearly identical performance with an identical memory capacity at a significantly lower price." - Source





P.S. I believe it will be launched before CES. Given the time frame with GeForce Volta being announced in May, and first iterations expected to launch by Fall 2017, they will want to give at least six months to the 1080 Ti before rendering it obsolete.

No discussion? Hmm, strange.

Well, I'm upset that it has less cores than the Titan X when they can clearly fit more, let alone, the same amount.

 

1080/Titan XP owners are too busy crying to discuss.

 

Titan X (Pascal) owners, especially. $1599-$1799 per GPU.

I bought the 1080 knowing the 1080 Ti was coming by the end of 2016... Just needed something. But I still plan on grabbing one.

 

I bought the titan knowing full well a 1080 TI/1180(based on gp102) is coming. I just dont really care for a more disabled GP102 than it already is on the Titan.

This will let me wait until Volta Titan.

 

I've cancelled my orders, too. I've decided that Volta is worth waiting for, as it will have a shelf life longer than one generation (as Pascal does).

May 2017... Can't wait.

 

I'm in for 1080 Ti... Could use a good 30-40% boost in FPS at 3K UW (3440x1440) over my 980 Ti. Will go for Volta a year later (it won't be here in 2017)

 

I'm still very happy with my 980Ti's SC, for my needs. Will skip this generation.

 

Crying about what? Enjoying our cards for 6 - 9 months?

 

Nah. Just that I've never understood people who get upset when something new comes out (or people who want someone to be upset because something new came out - that's even stranger). It's not like it came out on day 31 after the return period expired or like we didn't know there was a good chance of it coming.

I buy a new car, the next model year likely has some improvements. Doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

Oh my God, how am I gonna live with myself after just buying a lowly GTX 1070 for my upcoming build now that this thing is coming out! Haha, nah, I would never have bought this 1080ti, GTX 1070 is gonna feel like heaven from where I'm coming from!

It seems like there's more potential in Pascal to come, they could make even bigger die size flagships with Pascal I reckon, the die sizes on these products are pretty small in comparison to previous generations - at least I think I'm right about that, not 100% sure though!

 

The 1070 has the best price : performance ratio, in my opinion. I think you made the right call.

The 11-series, if it is Volta, should be 50%~ or so over Pascal. The 1080Ti really isn't worth it if Volta is coming. The 1180 (non-Ti) should outperform it by a decent amount.

 

That's what I thought too, 1070 has enough performance for what I need it to do, and I'll be upgrading the GPU over the generations to come anyway.

I suppose 1080Ti is only useful for people that need that huge GPU performance in a single card right NOW (well when it launches that is!), a pretty small market!

 

Why can we make these kinds of speculations for Volta already? I'm always cautious about predictions like that because then when Volta comes out everyone says wait for the next thing. Then you'll never buy anything...

Like my main questions is why on Earth would Nvidia do that? What's the incentive to make such a huge leap when AMD can't even answer a 1070 yet, not to mention a 1080, 1080 Ti, or Titan XP. The RX 490 will need to be like double the 480 to even stand a chance...

I'm currently planning on 1080 Ti sli because it should be enough to finally run 4K 144Hz. But I'd only do it if Asus ever released that 4K 144Hz GSync IPS display they had at computex.

 

One thought is that they just made huge growth commitments to their shareholder. Their stock was up 30% on Friday based on their roadmap and future projections. If they think people and research orgs will buy they might release it regardless of AMD competition, depending on how much it played into their forecast.

 

Well that's something for me to consider I suppose. What I buy will pretty much be determined by the release date (and price!) of 4K 144Hz IPS monitors.

 

Nvidia is under extreme pressure from car companies like Tesla because of autonomous vehicles. That's why I believe Volta will be announced next year, probably at a large technical conference, such as CES (January) or GTC (May). However, I don't believe we will see GeForce Volta until later.

Announced does not mean launched.

 

i was just being sarcastic.

if u notice my sig, i have an EVGA 1080 FTW Hybrid in my desktop.

i'm not too sure about Pascal's capabilities. i think these cards are pretty much at their limits. just compare the 1xxx-series smaller OC'ing headroom compared what users were achieving with the 9xx-series. not including liquid nitrogen cooled 1080's, the top GPU's have been maxing out at around high 2100mhz to low 2200mhz. 1080's come pretty underrated @ 1733mhz because GPU boost 3.0. i don't think i've seen any 1080's (that are working properly) operating at lower than the 1850mhz range.

Nvidia hasn't had any competition in the GPU market for a while, so they're able to create their own subgroups and pricing.

i think Team Green is readying Volta for the anticipation of AMD's HBM2-equipped GPU's.

 

I agree that OC headroom is very low on these Pascal cards, they're already clocked towards the upper limits of what they're capable of, but I talked about die size - I'm talking about creating chips with more cores & bigger die sizes, not talking about increasing the clocks. So I think there's room for Pascal to have faster GPUs released by taking that route. For example, Titan X GPU is only 471 sq mm die size, whereas 980ti is 601 sq mm. They could praps make a Pascal GPU at 601 sq mm, thereby increasing core count by say 28% if you base it on the difference between the two die sizes.

 

The big die 610mm size GP100 with HBM2 was used for server cards and might not become a consumer card unless they are still holding onto another architecture for large die with neutered double-precision. Feel like they shafted the top consumer card not using the largest die size this time around.

 

i think that just has to do with them not having any competition.

they don't have to put out their latest and greatest technology and just continue to milk the market.

 

I'll definitely be grabbing two GTX 1080Tis, because they'll be a welcome upgrade compared to the two GTX 680Ms in my laptop! I think the 1080Tis are worth the wait (especially at this point and the rumor that they'll be released in January 2017) for anyone in need of an upgrade and would benefit from a huge performance boost.

 

How are you planning on installing them in your laptop ?

Assuming that what you mean, and not a desktop

 

Hi bloodhawk, sorry I should have specified, haha! I'll be getting the 1080Tis for my first desktop build. :3 I love my gaming laptop as it was my first rig, ever (shout out to MYTHLOGIC), but yeah it's definitely time for a desktop rig - I've been meaning to try out ultrawide gaming since foreeever. @-@

 

Bring the 1080 Ti! I'm READY!

 

NVIDIA Confirms GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Pascal Enthusiast 4K Graphics Card – GTX 980 Ti Owners First To Avail Pre-Order or “Step Up” Offers

"Nvidia has been keeping very quiet about the GTX 1080 Ti, but the company has apparently confirmed its existence in a job description on LinkedIn (via PC World). The job opening is no longer accepting applications, but it was for a "Senior Marketing Manager – GeForce, Gamer Loyalty & Advocacy.""

 

Can't wait to get one of these running in something!

 

What happened? No 1080ti announced at CES 2017...yet?

 

No competition.

 

Patience is a virtue lol

Whichever way, never seen NVIDIA properly announce a gaming GPU at CES so we might see something a bit later though!

They're going to wait and use it when it will impact an AMD release probably. At least that's what I'd do.

 

Nah, they'd announce it if they had it ready, it'll sell no matter what AMD does or doesn't do, they really don't matter to Nvidia.

Plenty of pent up demand for the 1080ti, it's not going to sit on the shelf for long once it's announced and shipped

 

True, I guess I was thinking from earlier releases that it might be ready to go but they were sitting on it for some reason.

 

Perhaps it's Nvidia's gentlemanly act to allow AMD to announce first, before the 1080ti outclasses whatever AMD's best is?

If so I hope Nvidia gives AMD at least a month of shipments before dropping the 1080ti hammer.

 

Yeah, they're just being nice.

 

It's Alive!!

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Reportedly Launching In March, Currently In Production
http://wccftech.com/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-launching-march/

"NVIDIA’s hotly anticipated GeForce GTX 1080 Ti enthusiast graphics card is reportedly launching in March. The just released report claims that Taiwanese manufactures have already begun production of graphics cards based on NVIDIA’s upcoming GP102 silicon.

The card will offer similar performance to the company’s flagship $1000 TITAN X but at a more affordable price for gamers sources claim. Furthermore, unlike the TITAN X, custom designed and aftermarket cooled versions of the GTX 1080 Ti will be available shortly after release. The newcomer is speculated to be priced between $750 and $900 at launch and to land sometime between March 20th and March 23rd.

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Launch Expected Between March 20-23
As with all unconfirmed reports we’d advise taking the information with a grain of salt. With that being said, here’s what’s been echoing in the rumor mill about NVIDIA’s infamous GTX 1080 Ti.

The GTX 1080 Ti is rumored to be powered by a slightly cut back variant of the GP102 GPU, the same GPU sitting at the heart of the TITAN X. Only this time with 52 out of a total of 60 SMs will enabled with the remainder 8 SMs physically lasered off. This is only four SMs fewer than the GP102 variant used to power the TITAN X (Pascal) NVIDIA’s fastest graphics card to date. And would amount to a total of 3328 CUDA cores."

GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in production, launch March 20-23 NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is reportedly gearing up for a launch in late March
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/56306/geforce-gtx-1080-ti-production-launch-march-20-23/index.html

"It looks like NVIDIA is finally, after months and months of rumors, preparing its GeForce GTX 1080 Ti for launch - with new rumors stating the card would launch between March 20-23.

NVIDIA is hosting its own event during GDC 2017, where we should hopefully see the GTX 1080 Ti unveiled - but what should we expect in terms of raw horsepower and specs? Well, it should be a Titan X at the end of the day, with some reduction in SMs, with 52 SMs, compared to 60 SMs found on the Titan X.

This means we are to expect around 10.8 TFLOPs of performance, barely down from the 11 TFLOPs on Titan X. We should see AIB partners with tweaked and overclocked GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, with Titan X beating performance - which is going to be a very, very big deal.

The current rumored specs on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti see NVIDIA using the same 12GB of GDDR5X at 10Gbps, on a 384-bit memory bus that would provide 480GB/sec of memory bandwidth - the same configuration and specs of the Titan X, which costs $1199.

NVIDIA's GP102 will power the GTX 1080 Ti, with 3328 CUDA cores, 1.6GHz GPU boost clock, and a modest 250W TDP. The biggest thing is going to be the price, and I think we should see something like $899 from the GTX 1080 Ti, with partner cards hitting $999 or so. Expensive, but you pay to have the best, right?

NEWS SOURCES:Nordichardware.se "

 

Grain of salt? How about GET HYPE instead?

 

Hype or not, I want one.

 

Will it be able to handle 4K finally? My current gtx980 SLI setup is still about 20% faster then the Gtx 1080.

 

VRAM doesn't stack, (so you don't have effectively 8GB VRAM) but even if it did, the 1080TI looks like it will have 10GB VRAM, and higher resolutions will benefit greatly from this.

 

Shouldn't be so, unless you are comparing OC'd 980 SLI vs single 1080 at stock.

The single 1080 at stock or same relative OC should be about 20% faster than the 980 SLI.

The 1080 SLI with HB Bridge would be 2.5x the performance of the 980 SLI, or more in games that really favor the HB Bridge advantage

The 1080 refresh should be about the same speed as the proposed 1080ti.

Maybe we will get a refreshed 1080 instead of a 1080ti, with refreshed 1060 and 1070 too?

 

I'm hoping for both, the 1080TI launching with refreshed cards.

 

OMG, he's gonna do it!!

Faster than a speeding bullet, the ultimate GeForce...



Twitch died just before he delivered, and Youtube died right after



The Twitch feed has gone offline completely, and Youtube is a studder / delay / stop fest..









Live Stream content not uploaded yet, but here's a short one Nvidia just posted:



Nvidia finally uploaded the Live event, but it's worse in quality than the choppy stream was... Starts at 30:30...hopefully Nvidia will fix it soon.
