NVIDIA’s Next-Gen Cards Specifications, Pricing And Nomenclature Details

[AtlasWraith]

WARNING: If you hate WCCFTECH, then you may go ahead and move on to another thread because this one is an exclusive from them. Unless you have actual good discussion points to contribute to this conversation, in which case, welcome, fren!.

 

I try to keep this short. WCCFTECH has reported getting some naming details that are really interesting.

Quote

You might have heard about the ongoing speculation about whether it’s going to be NVIDIA GeForce GTX 11 or GTX 20 series and we can confirm that the company hasn’t even told the AIBs that information yet. Here is the kicker though, not only is the prefix undecided but so is the suffix! I have been told that the company is actively considering suffixes like XXX5 so you get something like GTX 1170 and 1175 (or GTX 2070 and 2075).

Here is where the suffix uncertainty that I was talking about comes in as well. The 120W card could have the suffix 60/65/70, the 150W card could have the suffix 70/75/80 and the flagship 180W card could have an 80/85/90 suffix. While naming convention is not confirmed at this point we do know one thing for sure: NVIDIA does not plan to align the 120W next-gen Turing series GPU with the GTX 1060 at all and will charge accordingly.

 

Additionally, here's pricing details associated with the upcoming NVIDIA cards based on the new watt classes.

These are the expected MSRPs that AIB and vendors have been informed of by NVIDIA:

• The 120W NVIDIA next-gen Turing GPU will be priced around $499 MSRP.
• The 150W NVIDIA next-gen Turing GPU will be priced around $599 MSRP.
• The 180W NVIDIA next-gen Turing GPU will be priced around $699-749 MSRP.

At the same time,

• The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti MSRP will drop in price by $100.
• The GeForce GTX 1080 MSRP will drop in price by $50.

 

 

I'll end this here for now, but do have a look at the full article. I will say, this is very interesting, specially considering that AIB partners don't even know what's going on with the naming situation. Can't wait till next month for more official news!

Interesting to see to what extent this is true 

[AngryBeaver]

I know this article is probably crap... but a 1180ti or w/e naming convention they choose for 699-749 = sign me up. My problem is I normally wait for waterblocks to be available before I purchase and by then who knows if I can find one available lol.

[DocSwag]

Such high prices for gpus with such low TDPs?

Why? It's the exact same price and TDP as Pascal pretty much for the top chip and the rest is probably price gouging and limited yields.

To save others from needing to look up how current models compare:

120W = 1060

150W = 1070

180W = 1070 Ti, 1080

250W = 1080 Ti

Nope. The 1060 equivalent (segment wise) will cost $200 more than before (MSRP is $300 for the 6GB card). So it's not even close. The top chip isn't the real volume maker here.

My current plan is to go for the "1180" or at least whatever they currently release as their highest tier card (until they release the "ti" version)

 

Also if the suffix is undecided, we might see "Ti" replaced with xxx5, which I'm okay with. 

[doubleagent214]

I love the idea of XXX5 over TI. But man that seems like a lot of products and a lot of complications. And you still might have TIs on top of the XXX5

Nvidia has been all over the place with their segmentation and suffixes over the years, lol. 

 

Back in the day there was MX for the budget end, Ti for the high end, then they started doing Ultra, GT, GTS, GTX, GX2.... like bruh  

[SolarNova]

Seem Nvidia maybe trying to creep up the price of their flagship card again.

 

On average since the 980ti, USA inflation has been 2% a year.

The MSRP of the 980ti was $650.

Adding on 2% each year (so 3 times) brings that to roughly $690.

 

The new flagship top of the line card (not a Titan) should at most be $700 MSRP. not $750.

 

Whats worse is if you go back to the 680 at $500 and go from there. We should only be at ~ $570 for a flagship card. Nvidia bumped the price $200 from the 680 to the 780ti,, then lowered it by $50 for the 980it at $650.

 

Sad times for a PC enthusiast, costs have been increasing so much over the past few years. $600 should be enough for a flagship card.

The GTX GX2 9800 Ultra GTS-GT was the fastest 9800, or maybe I'm getting it confused with the GTX Ultra 9800 GX2-GT GTS.

Couldn't tell you, I had the MX4000GX2 UltraTi at the time. Lmao.

Whatever, no one cares about the price of ultra high-end cards. People will buy them regardless.

 

Whats much more important is, that the value model (eg GTX 1060) is getting a lot more expensive and has done so with every new generation since the GTX 660.

How to piss off your midrange market 101.

Seriously, double the price for an 1160!?

My thoughts exactly.

Yup and they're going to piss off a lot of people since according to the Steam hardware survey the GTX 1060 currently is the single most used gpu model by a huge margin of 12.33%. Comparatively only 0.63% use an RX480 and 0.34% a RX580. Also the GTX 960 (as a predecessor of the 1060 in the GTX XX60 series) is on third place with 4.67%. People seemingly really like their mid-range Nvidia gpus.

I like how people are already taking this seriously.

I doubt that price is accurate - if it was, then the 1160's performance has to be absurdly higher than the 1060's for anyone to buy the new card over the old one. And I doubt Nvidia would just leave that much of a gap in the market, since if they want people to buy their new cards, they have to have a competitive equivalent (price-wise) to their old generation. They can't increase the prices of their "low-end" cards by that much unless they want their consumers to stick with the old generation for a longer period of time, which wouldn't make much sense, as far as I can tell.

[SteveGrabowski0]

$500 is highway robbery for a 70 series equivalent, much less a 60 series equivalent. Fuck Nvidia and fuck PC gaming if this is true, I'll move strictly to console if we're going to get price gouged like that. But I doubt it is true, that would be ridiculous to think they'd sell any 60 series equivalent cards if they priced them at $500.

lack of competition hurts consumers

and if the xx60 variant out performs 1080 they have all means to do so considering they may have many pascal chips to get rid of too

you pay for performance not model numbers

[Cookybiscuit]

Nvidia can charge whatever they like now that there's no competition, of course none of this really matters because it's another fake news WCCF article.

(although to be fair that one time they leaked Raja Kouduri's resignation and transfer and was right ._. (double fair on the other side was everyone was bracing for it when he went on the sabbatical))

My philosophy has always been "wait and see" So far it's kept me from setting unreasonably high expectations and from emotional disappointment.  :B

Per the very first sentence in the post, it'd be wise to edit your comment and removing this part of it. Your point is already well taken (and more than likely true, as well) and there's no need for this part. Thank you for your cooperation, fren.
