nVidia 2070, 2080 and 2080Ti

Recommended Posts

Guest

Looks like several folks have spotted in-driver device references to nVidia's Volta based GPUs (GV104) for the "consumer market", no HBM2 (900GB/s) but will have DDR6 (768 GB/s).  Much higher GPU frequency than the Volta Titan V.  Pricing speculated at 2070 ??, 2080 $699, and 2080Ti $799.  No delays so release is expected no later than March.

As far as performance with drivers aimed at gaming, 132% increase over Pascal (DX and Vulkan).

Seems like good times ahead for lighting (PBR, Dynamic Lights) and VR in your simulator platform or platforms of choice.

Cheers, Rob.

Maybe we'll get a 5+ ghz ice lake to go with it!

Hopefully by that time the bottom falls out of mining.

I hope so too, 2000$ for a GTX1080i card is currently ridiculous.  However, I have no idea how the new Volta will be available to us, without being snatched up first by deep pocket miners:angry:

I got really like that I found my 1080 brand new for $545 after rebates. Now it is listed at $979.

Stupid crazy.

That's indeed good news, Rob.  And the timing is excellent.  Sourcing all the components now for my new build.  Sure hope your pricing speculation holds.

Was at my local MicroCenter yesterday and the only 1080TI they had left was priced at $1200.  Just crazy.

It is likely my only upgrade this year GPU ill stick with the 2080 the 2080ti would be overspend by the performance I'm getting at the moment with 1080 Pascal. as for a bigger upgrade I will wait till the new die and pin is released next year or later for CPU`s.

Tempted to sell my 1080ti now while it's still worth something, but it's probably smarter to wait and see.

Rob,  Do you have a source on this?  Not that I don't believe you but wanted to read through the forums or article myself for curiosity sake.

Thanks,
Brian

I can give you his first name but not his last, Eric ... he's a auto racing buddy I used to race with in the past.  He's retired from nVidia now, but was fairly high up the executive chain, some of this info comes from one of his existing contacts within nVidia, other parts come from various sources across the web.

Hopefully I was clear on the "speculation" front.

Cheers, Rob.

Thanks, sorry didn't mean to sound like a troll.  You could have said "an industry friend" and I think we all would have trusted you :)  Will be exciting if we really do see 132% increase in performance.  The 1080ti feels just slightly behind where it needs to be for 4k.

Nothing wrong with questioning sources, I do it all the time, I encourage it.

Personally I think the 132% increase is optimistic, but I'd rather stay positive about it, heck even 25-50% would be welcome.

Cheers, Rob.

I know that this is speculative at this point but I'm currently running a 6600k at 4.5GHZ and a GTX970. Would I see much of a performance boost going to one of these new cards or am I going to be bottlenecked by the older processor?

It all depends on how hard your existing CPU is actually working and what screen resolution you're using (or planning to use) - the 6600K, especially at 4.5GHz, is still a good processor. Monitor your individual core usage (not just the CPU average) when running the sim using something like MSI Afterburner. Depending on which sim you're using, if one core is at 100% most of the time, adding a new card is unlikely to improve things. If, on the other hand, your GPU is around 100% and the CPU is lower, then a new graphics card should make a difference. If your running at 1920x1080, your current setup should give good performance. Some people seem always to want the latest and greatest CPUs and GPUs when they're not fully utilising the hardware they already have.
