I can only imagine how tough it will be to get one of these if they do release in July...

I typically wait for the enthusiast line of cards from EVGA though.

I have invested in new Rig, it is going to be a few years befoe I look at GPU again. It is typical that something newcome along whenyou just bought

You can buy that card right now. But you have to do so from NVidia directly. It is on stock to your convenience for only €3'100.-

 

Expect a 20% peroformance increase over your 1080 Ti.

 

On top of that it can do real time raytracing as well as not calculate correctly. But for games, "mostly correct" will do.

Well I do not need 20% performance increase , I have maxed out BOX and DCS and COD . I simply do not see any reason right now. If I get a supersonic screen one day or a better resolution VR it might be a idea.

Floating point math isn't fully deterministic by its nature, but this "error" seems to be a serious hardware bug. You don't want erroneous memory, not even in a consumer product used for games.

If you run your crypto on such a device, life can be interesting indeed...

If you present it like that... anything that keeps crypto miners away is good in my book

Could also cause all your games to crash too. In any case, GPU crypto mining is over for now. That ship sailed months ago and isn't coming back anytime soon. I don't expect a new generation of Nvidia cards to change that. Even the $3000 Titan V only makes about $2 per day. At that rate, it would take 4 years to pay for itself, ignoring electricity cost. If we assume the 1180/2080 is 80% as fast and costs $700, that's still 1.2 years just to break even. So as said, mass GPU mining is over.

 

Regardless, I don't think I'll be buying another Nvidia card anytime soon. Nvidia's anti-consumer shenanigans have left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. I really should have just waited another month and bought an AMD Vega 64 LC edition instead of this 1080 TI. Knowing Nvidia, they'll probably kneecap it in a year in a driver update too.

If that comes true: Hallelujah!

I'll be interested in the new card if it dramatically improves fps in VR, otherwise meh.

[BeastyBaiter]

The upcoming Nvidia GPU's will be the second refresh of Maxwell (700 series cards), so I wouldn't expect too much of an improvement out of them. The big change is the addition of tensor cores for real time ray tracing (in a very limited manner). But I suspect it will be a long time before that makes its way into BoX or DCS.
