Nvidia Possibly to Announce GeForce GTX 1100 series during Gamescom

New cards will probably cost 50% more than the last ones, both due to left over stock and inflated prices. Until AMD releases something, we probably won't see competitive prices. My fear is if we have to wait for Intel...knowing them it probably won't work either...

Hopefully...Europe needs to be as important as US when it comes to these expos, we need more of this.

EL1TE:

I'm planning on buying my first Monitor upgrade since the cheap LG W2361V i got so many years ago. I'm aiming at an ultrawide and i can assure that once you play in one you don't want to go back, anyway The problem is that i'm aiming at a GSync ultrawide and here is where the problem is, with my current GTX1080 it will be fine but the GTX1080 isn't that good of a card for what i want and on a Ultrawide is even worse, but the issue is, AMD is reading 7nm GPUs with should allow for a huge clock improvement just on the core alone, and if i was to upgrade to the next XX80 it would be a Ti which means that is another Year before those are even out so by then AMD 7nm GPUs should be out and my GSync will be useless, not a good time to upgrade right now :/

Core clock is only partially tied to the manufacturing node. There are a bunch of other optimizations that need to be done in order to get clockspeed up in an architecture, things like critical path optimization and cell library optimization. AMD going to 7nm doesn't automatically mean the clockspeeds are going to increase. Also because 7nm is so new and yields will likely be low at the start, both AMD/Nvidia will target smaller cards (~300mm2) for consumer space. Which means that neither company will probably release anything significantly faster than a 1080Ti anytime soon. Most likely 10-15%+ 1080Ti esque performance at lower pricing/power - similar to the 1080 from the 980Ti.

Regarding new GPU, say the 1180/2080 or whatever they decide to call it, 10% performance increase is rather low, the 1080 was 20%+ faster than a 980 Ti in some games, 10% is hardly an upgrade if the improvement is only 10% better than the 1080ti, that is for people with a Ti, either way i wont be upgrading anytime soon my GPU, it will either be the best AMD GPU by 2019 or next Ti that should also come by 2019. Also the 1080 Ti can hardly play games at 4k and maintain 60FPS in most cases outside of overclocked cards, a 10% increase is not enough to make a difference at 4k, plus 60FPS is like 1080p, is getting boring and dated, new standard should be above 100FPS...

You shouldn't be looking at benchmarks running ultra settings as those are usually visually no different than high or even sometimes medium settings, yet can cost you an immense amount of performance. If you want over 100fps you should know you shouldn't put everything on ultra as that is genuinely just not a good idea.

What a load of BS... maybe you can't tell the difference between medium and ultra, but then i reckon it's time you visit an optician... if you can't run ultra at your desired res (which should be 4k), then it's time to upgrade !

Well YOU need to know YOUR facts. E-3 had 2.9 MILLION visitors via online, plus 50 thousand on site visitors. So "technically" Gamescon only had 350 thousand visitors in 2017. So E-3 actually exposed their products to more people. And please be nicer to your fellow forum mates, thank you.

So I think Nvidia is going to have to let the cat out of the bag sooner than August 28th at Gamescon. The secret "ship" is already bulging at the seams and some board recipient companies have started some "leaks". To keep this from being a dud of an announcement I can see NVIDIA doing a preemptive strike and release a teaser video over the July 4th week and announce an "announcement date". This will make everyone sit up and pay attention and start a more positive buzz. I am still going with a July 30th announcement of the GTX 1180 TURING Founders Edition release date. I have no clue what the release date is. And the caveat here is the pricing. I am going with $1199 u.s. for the base model and $1499 for the higer ram version. If this turns out to be the case I will be an AMD convert and await their next offering. Hope I am way off base here for pricing.

$1199 for GT104? Aint gonna happen. Not even for the GT102 after that. Unless they want to seriously curtail their sales numbers. And with the mining craze over, nothing there to support that sort of pricing.

Guys i have a fear about the 1100 series or 2000 what if .... the new cards with the new flashy memmory are worth it enough to mine, say they profit 2 + usd a day...the cards will be faster on about the same power draw .... do you think there is a chance they will be snatched? I have no hard evidence ...just a small fear in the back of my head...is it a stupid fear ? If yes or no why?

O.K Einstein's the Titan xp goes for $1500 u.s. and the 1080ti goes for $750 u.s. and the 1180 will be more powerful than them both. Where is the pricing going to come in then without causing a glut of the 1080 gpu's, ooops too late already? The gddr6 alone is 20% more expensive than gddr5, the technology is newer not a rebrand. Where is the price point to make them money on the new gpu? 20% over a 1080ti puts it at $900 u.s., so that is their theoretical break even point lets say. So what is their built in profit margin? Lets say 20%, that puts it at $1100 rounded up. So it's not so crazy to come to the conclusion of my price point of $1199 and $1499. If you bothered to read my entire post I said I hoped I was way off base in pricing. Other rumors have been a price of $699 for the base card and this would be fantastic. But you wouldn't be able to get a hold of one for 6 months. You believe what article you may have read, I actually sat down and used some logic. You should try it, if not laugh on.

Dude ain't gonna happen. TitanX was 1000$+ and normal 780ti or later 980ti was faster and cheaper too, same with pascal and 1080ti was 650$ at some point, mining is not a excuse and never will be to hijack prices for future products. If that's you analogy then better think again. The only legit leak was 1180 699$ and 1170 400$, that's about it.

If there is a price increase, doubt it will be over $50 for both 1170/1180. Titan flagships were always beat by last gen cards at less than half the price. Thats the way its always been. Would be useful if you looked at past history of Nvidia releases (Maxwell, Pascal). GDDR6 will not add that much to any price increases, at most $50 per 8gb card.

And to add to that hbm2 is more expensive to make and now vega64 is back to more normal prices, I see them for 600-650€ again.. still overpriced though considering how old they are now.. Tough luck for Nvidia milking 1080ti at 750€+, it will bite them good in the rear now that they got so much back in stock.. they will be forced to lower further bellow 500 -600€ or they're left filled with useless leftovers.

This. At the point we're on right now, we might as well guess if Prince Harry's first kid will be a boy or a girl, or of the number of fireworks shot on July 4th might be even or odd. Sadly.
