for those as desperate for news on the next gen nvidia card then look here.
its not too exciting however, may just be a cgi mockup rather than a real card but it it claimed to be the 1st shot of an 1180/2080.
Dont bother with the comments section, as usual it is the same old arguments.

I’ve given up caring now, I’m just going to upgrade when the next-gen VR headsets hit.

MikeKay1976

do you include the pimax 8k in that?  if so fingers crossed for this year sometime.

if not then you may be able to get a 1180ti by the time the next "next gen" headsets come out.

I do not, I mean the next jump rather than just a resolution/FOV bump, probably CV2 as Oculus dash and their platform simply works better than SteamVR.

yeah... i am not a fan of steamVR myself either.  who knows maybe next gen the Khronos group will come out with some universal solution.

it seems their 1st "project" is now complete and the GTX11 / 20 gpu series will have the VR link on the card.

I currently have a 1070 and am either going to buy a ready built PC or build my own again. I built my current one (with a different GPU) back in 2011 - it's an i5 2500 sandybridge.

I'm just wondering if I build a new PC with a really good i7 and 16GB RAM, would my 1070 be good enough for modern games or should I be looking to get the 1080ti ?

I don't know if I should stick with my 1070 and then re-evaluate next year or just do it now.

with a 1070 i think you would be nuts to upgrade now!. at 1080p that card is a monster.
it is a good 1440p card.... and to be totally honest NO card is a great 4k card at the moment.

i would be waiting to see what the 1180 brings to the table (or 1170 if 1440p is ok for you)

but with a 1070.... if it were me even if i wanted 4k i would make do till the 1180ti hits which is a little wait but i think will be the 1st true, 4k 60fps high detail for the majority of games card.

i have a 980 with a 4k tv so cant wait that long..

Cheers mate, that was what I was hoping to hear Now to decide if I go Intel or AMD for the CPU
