So they can tell the exact performance difference just from the bus size? Doesn't GDDR6 make any difference?

If it is the 1180 that's 15% on the 1080ti. Then they will bring out a 1180ti with more performance. So if your going for a 980ti to the newest that's a good jump
Hello mate. Still playing dying Light? If you’ve got the DLC I’d be right up for a Harran Prison run on Monday if you can spare time from Dad duties?
On topic; Assuming it’s 15% more powerful than the 1080ti (and that’s quite the assumption) the new ti will undoubtedly be an absolute monster. I’ll be interested in what difference GDDR6 makes, but honestly I don’t think it’ll be that significant unless you get into heavy duty 4K games, or newer titles that really leverage it. I think it’s more of a natural progression thing.
Frankly, I don’t think the 1180ti is going to be the 4K killer we’d all hoped for. I’m sure we’ll finally have a geforce card that will guarantee more than 60fps on any title but I don’t think it’s going to take full advantage of the new 4K high refresh rate monitors ie. 100Hz+ on all titles.
I’m sure I’ll need the ol’ flame retardant jacket but the 1080ti isn’t a true 4K 60hz card imo. It almost is, but it can’t get 60Hz plus on any title at ultra, although turning down a few settings probably does it. There’s plenty of benchmarks out there that demonstrate this.
I think what this generation will bring is real incentive for the mid/lower tier gamers to move to high refresh rate 1440p+ monitors, with a tidy profit for g-sync lust and a move towards even more mainstream 4K pc gaming. Helped by the PS4 Pro and the Xbone whatever it’s called making 4K the new buzzword.
It’s the next generation, in my opinion, that will really transform gaming. Especially with the newer technologies maturing and the push to better monitors in the mainstream from this upcoming one. AMD will hopefully have something better in the market by then, encouraging Nvidia to really push the envelope.
Just my tuppence mind. It’s all speculation until the cards launch. I’ll be getting the new ti regardless with the best 4K monitor at that time (FALD, HDR etc), knowing that subsequent generations will really make it shine. My 980 is starting to show its age now I’ve cleared out a lot of older titles in my list of shame, even at 1200p.
I think people are expecting way too much from any new cards.
We already know what the performance of the full fat 12nm card is going to be like as it will be from the same family as the Titan V. This in turn means that a cut down 1180 Ti is not going to be anything special and again the 1180 will be even less interesting.
My guess is the 1180 will struggle to beat the better 1080 Ti cards by more than 5% or 10%. Having said that it is all NVidia need to do, replace the old 1080 Ti with a slightly faster and slightly cheaper newer card (the 1180).
The real benefit will be the XX60 and possibly XX70 cards where good increases could be found. I also don't think NVidia will charge silly prices for the mid range cards as yields on the chips should be quite good as they will be quite small in size without DP and Tensor cores.

I expect it will be 15% - 20% quicker then the 1080Ti and in turn 10% or so above the Titan Xp . Nvidia is clever enough to know there are those who will pick up the best (bar Titan V which was a steep jump) so by putting new card above a Titan Xp, it will mean those who have the Titan Xp will have an excuse to upgrade, but have performance under a Titan V, so those with very deep pockets can still buy a card at an even higher premium.
I cannot see Titan Xp owners upgrading to a 1180. They’ll wait for the next sensible Titan for the most part.
