The latest buzz about NVIDIA's new graphics cards is that the GTX 2080 (or GTX 1180, depending on who you ask), will hit the market at the surreal $ 1.499 price tag.
Despite the fact that the rumor mill in recent weeks around the GTX 2080 or GTX 1180 or whatever the new NVIDIA graphics are commercially called, are growing, we should not take them all as true, since one day they come out in March, the next day NVIDIA says to increase the production of Pascal and beyond to integrate with Intel processors (would be nice uh, Intel processors with AMD GPUs and others with NVIDIA GPUs). Today we are talking about the prices of these graphics cards, something that I have a hard time believing.
WE HAVE CONTACTED NVIDIA SPAIN AND THEY INFORM US THAT THERE IS NO GTX 2080 OR GTX 1180 AND THAT ANY DATA ABOUT THEM, SUCH AS THE PRICE THAT IS MENTIONED, ARE UNSUBSORED RUMORS.
We will supposedly see them during GTC 2018 and they will be based on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, which uses the 12nm process. We must emphasize that there is talk of Turing GPUs as well, which would be specially developed for cryptocurrency mining and that are a very random rumor. These new graphics cards, of which we have no name, one day will be the GTX 2000 Series and the next day it will be the GTX 1100 Series. Everyone who thinks what they want, because the subject already gives us laziness.
These new graphics cards won't be sold at the leaked price. TweakTown reports that the GTX 2080 will cost $1.499, and unless you're a real enthusiast, nobody will buy them. We should remember that the GTX 1080 Ti is currently selling for $1.200 in the US, a market that's quite manipulated and inflated. The GTX 1080, when it was announced, was before the mining crisis and was announced at $699, although it later went on sale for $599.
Speaking clearly and we are critical, as you know, when it plays. If NVIDIA really does launch new graphics cards for $ 1.499, what is clear is that the problem is not in the mining of cryptocurrencies, the problem is that they clearly tease us. A new product, for which you have zero demand, you make it more expensive than a product that you have on the market, it is simply because you want and because you want to do August with a cheap excuse. The most unfortunate thing is that there are people who believe that these prices are due to the mining of cryptocurrencies, due to media that do not know what they are talking about.
