4k144hz and new GPUs. Finally!
$2000? No thanks.
Forget it, it's wtftech. Everything at the moment tends to Release in late Q3, early Q4.
Yeah the data there has been available for some time - I'm hoping TFTCentral get their hands on one or another reputable in-depth review site does. I'm not willing to play panel lottery.
$2000? No thanks.
But... how will be priced, relative to the GTX 1070 ti, both original MSRP, and current street prices? Will the mining craze's effects be felt in new, higher, MSRPs, or will the craze have died down substantially such that it would be fatal to a GPU companies profits, if they released new cards with "gouged" MSRPs?However, I see the Gx06 chip going with a 256-bit bus this time, equating to 256 gb/s with 16 gbps GDDR6 vram - equal to a GTX1070. I'd imagine it will end up about almost as fast as the GTX 1070 TI, so a 192-bit bus and 384gb/s bandwidth would probably be overkill anyways.

As such, my estimation is by the beginning of April 2018, mining revenue using NiceHash is down around 6x, as compared to Jan 2018. (Was making $20-22/day, now making $21 every SIX days.)
Edit: I've been toying with selling my GTX 1070 ti, for what could possibly be a slightly-inflated price right now, but then... I'm wondering if NVidia is going to do something to the mining abilities of their newer cards (neuter their mining ability, unless one pays extra for "mining edition" cards), and if these older, un-restricted cards, might actually appreciate in value relative to their newer equivalent (and probably cheaper?) replacements?
The GTX 1160 or 2060 if you prefer better be freakin awesome at $399 or even $349. That or easily available for purchase. NE has a 1060 down to $299 this weekend. Mini versions down to $270-80.
I'm completely speculating, but I think it will at least be $299, but $349 is very plausible. It *should* be nearly 1070 Ti in performance. There might be a $279 4gb version and a $349 8gb version if it's on a 128-bit bus. The performance / $ needle is not going to move very much until mining is out of the picture.
Well the performance /rrp will move lots - it has with every release from NV - but actual retail pricing? Could be another matter.
How are they going to know whether it's mining, folding@home, or some other compute oriented application? Physically changing the cards - like removing display output is going to make it harder to sell once it's no longer profitable for mining. If AMD doesn't do the same thing, they put themselves at a disadvantage.Edit: I've been toying with selling my GTX 1070 ti, for what could possibly be a slightly-inflated price right now, but then...
