So I just ordered a strix 1080ti...now i'm worried about volta

[sveniat]

I literally just ordered my 1080ti from amazon, and then I saw this article: http://wccftech.com/nvidia-volta-12nm-finfet/

Now I know it's wccftech, but it says 2017 2080ti release. Nvidia wouldn't do that to people buying the 1080ti, right? Right??? This is just wccftech being awful as usual and i don't need to hurriedly cancel my order right?

Hell yeah they would *cough* Titan Xp*cough*

I also think you should wait for AMD Vega

 

It seems like AMD and NVIDIA are working together to make sure the archeitures start with the same letter.

 

Pascal + Polaris

Volta + Vega

 

 

 

But WCCFTech is BS 24/7

when is vega supposed to release? And is there any realistic chance they outperform the 1080ti (on performance, not price/perf)?

You mean the card that failed to match the 1070 in Time Spy?

Slight chance, has shown to slightly beat 1080 (somewhere I think might be WCCF again in that case this post is null) and that was a engineering sample

A month or two, only know when it drops

I'll wait for  it to release before judging s harshly

In that same thread you linked people think its fake though.

 

But you have to wait for indepentent reviews after launch to say "it sucks"

Yes, I don't mean that Vega will be bad, but it (Probably) won't match a 1080 Ti...

Those in the article are just rebrands of Pascal GPU's. We should be happy with our 1080 Ti's for a long while.

Volta isn't coming out for a while, you should be fine. Plus, that article looks sketchy as hell.

Vega would be a good option for more midrange buyers, but I seriously doubt it'll match a 1080ti. Vega has been seriously overhyped, just like Ryzen, and it's gonna end up disappointing people cause they expected it to beat a 1080ti or some shit. I mean, if it does that'll be cool and i'll be inclined to buy one, but I just seriously doubt it will.

[Dackzy]

Do I really need to remind people that Volta on Nvidia's own road map is showed to launch what looks like late 2017 or early 2018 and that there are a ton of rumors and such saying late 2017

Be happy with your 1080ti or send it back. Your allways going to get your new GPU outdated a year of so later with new tech released. The sooner you realize this then the sooner you will be happy with what your buying. I waited 4 years to upgrade to my new 1080ti from my 670's.

the 1080ti is a solid card in terms of performance regardless, but it would royally suck to spend $800 on a gpu and then half a year later another version of that comes out thats the same price but even better. It's basically exactly the Titan X vs Xp thing, but without the "it's not REALLY a consumer card..." excuse since the ti series is directly targeted at gamers.

Technology advances rapidly. If what you bought gets you what you want then there's no reason to feel bad about it. I certainly am getting 4K 60fps in all games maxed out or damn near maxed out with it.

yeah but theres a difference when its from the same company with the same "product". If Nvidia launches a new card and it's amazing so people buy it, but then amd comes out with a card that's 10% better for the same, sure it's kind of a bummer but it's not a huge deal. It's just competition.

 

But if Nvidia sells a 5080 in January, gets a bunch of people to buy it and then turns around and sells the 6080 in february for the same price but 10% more performance, that's just scummy. 

 

The difference in those 2 scenarios is the assumed development time between releases. In the first exampe, you can expect both AMD and nvidia to have spend an appropriate time developing those cards, but in the second example Nvidia releases something WAY earlier than expected, instead of spending the normal ~1.5-2 year cycle. 

 

It's not about "how dare they make something better", it's "If they were going to make this why did they sell me that only a few short months ago". A healthy development time is good for the industry, since it also helps keep consumer confidence high in that when they buy from a given company, they are getting that companies best (for that price range). If people think that "well they'll probably just make a better on in a couple months" then you get far less people buying cards since there will always be another release right around the corner, instead of the healthy "this will probably be the best card nvidia makes for a good while, might as well get it now" cycle.

why do you people always need to have the very best things, its annoying, honestly. and that article is obviously fake, it will release in 2018 minimum

Not a chance. No shot whatsoever. That's not how Nvidia does shit. Maybe they'll release an 80-series GV104 card with performance a little under the 1080 Ti at lower power consumption by the end of the year, but no shot in hell of seeing one of their big die Volta cards released in the GeForce series for 2017. Maybe you'd see a big die Tesla card like they did with P100 for Pascal, but the big die gaming cards are going to release first as Titans and likely in 2018.

[alphaproject]

Pascal refresh is first so don't worry about it. You are good for a few years dude.

[HelplmChoking]

So what if the new cards are close (they're not). It's not like your 1080Ti suddenly becomes useless, it's still extremely powerful.

[Cartoons Plural]

Volta isn't till next year. That's what where it was on the roadmap last year.

[StormEye]

I think you are doing it wrong if you order top-tier graphics card and worry about it being replaced sooner or later.

 

Only people who will be content that their card will be dethroned in a month or two should really be looking into getting top-tier cards.

You know those results are either fake, an early engineering sample, or based off of the tFlop values of the card, right?
