ECC registration certificate shows Nvidia GTX 2070 & 2080 based on the GA104 GPU

[Master Disaster]

The confusion in what Nvidia will be releasing next just won't stop, 1100 or 2000 serries? Ampere, Volta or Turing?

 

Here's WCCF showing a registration certificate that clearly lists the new products as Ampere based and named the 2000 series.

Quote

Manli Technologies, a vendor for NVIDIA GeForce GPUs has just registered an ECC certificate with the name GeForce GTX 2070 and GeForce GTX 2080 included in the mix. The GPU chips also contain GA104 and GA104-400 – both of which are Ampere based.

Even as the WCCF article was being written the website these images were taken from was updated and the listings were removed.

Quote

As I was writing this article, the website containing the certification was updated and the nomenclature was removed. We managed to take screenshots however and you can see those below. Nomenclature and naming scheme of the NVIDIA next-generation lineup has been cause for a lot of speculation and debate and it is very exciting to finally see some sort of proof to which side the company is leaning.

It's possible Nvidia are struggling to choose what to name their new products and are flitting between names or it's possible they're preparing more than one SKU to launch, at this point no one really knows.

They had been dropping hints and tributes to Alan Turing so the assumption was that it would be branded the Turing architecture – but if this certification is accurate – probably not. The GA104 and GA104-400 GPUs are based on Ampere architecture and were thought to be one of the prime candidates before the company started teasing Turing. It is even possible that the company has decided to christen Ampere, Turing somehow – but that is pure speculation on my part. The GeForce GTX 2070 and GeForce GTX 2080 graphics cards will be launching soon at Gamescom.

This is getting a little silly now, seems like every other day someone uncovers something new that contradicts the previous rumours. Roll on Gamescom so we can finally see what they have planned.

It could also be that websites like WCCFTech are just making shit up to get easy page clicks.

First, 1180

Now, 2080

 

Which is it, WCCF?!

Actually, it was 2080 first then 1180 and now it seems back to 2080...

 

I think WCCF can't keep up their story straight:D

[19_blackie_73]

I'm personally at the point of just wait and see what happens, this launch is so confusing that it doesn't even make much sense to follow the rumors. and nvidia isn't known at the moment to be polite so I couldn't care less

nvidia event is on August 20. Must be 20 series then.

That makes more sense than anything else I've heard so far.

8/20... Holy shit! This is the 8th gen we’ve been missing all along!

[DrMacintosh]

At this point GPU upgrades are, imo, just for people who want to hit 4K at decent refresh rates. It’s a niche of a niche. It’s nice to see performance go up but until 1080p@60Hz stops being the crushing majority, I will just keep chuckling at new cards.  

 

Im just a humble RX 580 gamer who really would have been fine for another few years on my R9 380. 

 

All these high end GPUs that are supposed to be coming out have me like

Or for people who want to stay current with games on ultra. 

 

Witcher 3 is from 2015. Rise of the Tomb Raider is from 2015. Both are examples of fairly demanding games that are spreading their wings on hardware that was introduced AFTER their premiere. On the hardware that was available during their premiere we were talking about 30fps in 4k or barely 60fps in 2560x1440. On a 980ti and Titan X Maxwell.

 

As for current gen:

Assassins Creed Origins, Deus Ex Mankind Divided and Final Fantasy XV destroy current hardware.

 

It would be foolish to assume that Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assassins Creed Oddyssey will not make a bitch out of Pascal generation as well ;-)

Only if you play higher than 1080p, rx 580 and gtx 1060 can easily do these games at 1080p. I would not call that "destroy". The gtx 1070/gtx 980ti can easily play AC: O at 1440p.

So the fact that you need a new gpu only to play higher than 1080p still stands.

Well it all comes down to your definition of "easily". I don't call barely 60fps on medium at 1080p in AC:O or barely 30fps on ultra (40 on Very High) in Deus Ex "easily" but that's just me ;-)

I find that funny considering I have zero issues getting 60fps on just about any game at max settings at 4k with my 1080ti.

 

Seriously. The only thing that has made this card "struggle" was heavily modded Fallout 4 with god rays turned all the way up.

 

Maybe it's the water cooling?

[mr moose]

I reckon they just doctored an image to get another article out.    Really making bank on the whole nvidia thing right now.

TBH I feel the same way, the only reason I have this weird mish mash of cards in my system is needing CUDA support in my uni days and now Folding at Home. 

 

I upgraded to the vega cause it was cheap and will let me use my 144hz monitor a little better.

Maybe WCCFTech polls of this whole naming fiasco because Volta is meant for Enterprise and HPC. Turning is (maybe) meant for High-end Cards like XX70, XX70ti, XX80 and XX80ti. Ampere is (maybe) meant for midrange and low-end Cards like XX30, XX50, XX50ti and XX60. Or vice versa. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to me when they leak 2 new code names referring to basically one new series of Cards. IMO

Or maybe we are all wrong and it's ohms.

Woah! Are you trying to say WCCFTech are fake news? Woah! I never would of heard that before!

take this with sarcasm children

[Dissitesuxba11s]

Honestly, with all these news of new Nvidia GPU's coming out, I'm more excited about the price drop of current cards. Not that I'm planning to buy, but this is great news for consumers on tight budgets but still are looking at the 1070/Ti or 1080.

Yes, someone is having fun. Marketing. The amount of free hype the new line of cards has gotten already is literally gold for marketing. If I were doing marketing for NVIDIA right now, I will be booking my vacations already cause as soon as these things get announce, all my work will already be done for me and the cash dams will just break all over my bank accounts haha
