Nvidia announces GeForce RTX 2080

[AIO Inc]

The thing that's going to make the biggest difference is the type of RAM it uses. GDDRX5 was horrible for mining because of the way it functioned. Hopefully this next generation is much better.

So a minute long commercial is now an official announcement? Ridiculous thread.  Especially the posts about Nvidia caring the slightest about the crypto markets!

of course I'm not sure about the accuracy of the characteristics. but in any case, you need to test in the mining and not just check the numbers from the site (

Not true. Eth enlargement pill fixed that and made it more efficient on 1080 and 1080ti compared to a 1070 ti

Maybe they will pump the crypto markets to get sales going for this GPU.

I am hoping this ^ happens. I can imagine NVIDIA buying crypto would send a nice big pump wave.

With regards to the RTX 2080 release on August 30, do you guys think that this also means that the RTX 2080 TI will be released at the same time as well? I'd probably be interested in getting one for mixed personal use and mining experiments.

I am getting at least 1 of the RTX 2080's to try out.  Decided to go with a pre-built system via preorder just to get the TI card version and then part out the rest. Really curious on how much more this will actually get than our 1080ti's!

GDDR6 are more like HBM2 I would say. So it should perform pretty good in mining. But I didn't read any docs for GDDR6 only what I heard, you better wait for Wolf he should know a lot about GDDR6.

GDDR6 chip should perform better with random read as each chip has 2x16bit (like dual channel) bus and GDDR5 was 1x32bit (*8 ship on RTX 2080)

I know some algos are mostly random read and they should benefit most, depending of the size of data being fetched at once

So the 2080 and 2080 ti us  slower than the 1080 ti and 1080 with eth enlargement pill? 2080/2080 ti even consumes more electricity also. Wow such a big disappointment.
