GTX 1180 – New Rumors Arise!

Leaked Release Dates, A new GTX 1180+ GPU and GTX 1170 Benchmark

We already have a ton of reliable information about the upcoming GTX 1180 GPU – GDDR6 Memory: Possibility of 2GHz Clock Speed, Turing Architecture and a 50% relative performance gain from the GTX 1080. These rumours and what they meant were covered in our previous ‘GTX 1180 – Everything we know so far‘ article. Now, new rumours have surfaced for NVIDIA’S upcoming high-end GeForce GTX 1180 GPU. There also seems to be a new GTX 1180+ GPU, and apparently a GTX 1170 Benchmark. Let’s have a look.

Leaked Release Dates & A New 1180+ GPU?

We have a big leak for the whole GTX 11 Series GPU Lineup. An extremely confidential email between a retailer and an official NVIDIA Board Partner has been leaked which confirms the launch schedule for four new GeForce GTX 11 Series GPUs –

1. GeForce GTX 1180 on 30th August 2018
2. GeForce GTX 1180+ on 30th September 2018
3. GeForce GTX 1170 on 30th September 2018
4. GeForce GTX 1160 on 30th October 2018

Yes, you read that correctly. There seems to be a new GTX 1180+ GPU! However, it is more likely that ‘1180+’ is just a different name used for easier reference purposes to the highest end GTX 1180 Ti GPU. If that’s not true, the GTX 1180+ will probably be a higher-end version of the GTX 1180, just like the GTX 1080 Ti is for the GTX 1080. This GTX 1180+ GPU could also be a more refined version of the GTX 1180, maybe with more VRAM, higher clock speeds or an aesthetical upgrade to the normal version.

Here is the leaked email. The source for this is Gamer Meld’s YouTube Video.

GTX 1170 Benchmark Leak – Beats GTX 1080 Ti!

We also have a new rumour on the GTX 1170 – a leaked 3DMark FireStrike Benchmark. The performance in this benchmark shows sheer monstrosity and if it’s true, the GTX 1170 is going to be an amazing card. This also means that the GTX 1180 & 1180 Ti GPUs will have even better marginal performance differences compared to last gen GPUs. The source of this leak is by Wccftech and here’s what they have to say –

Just over two months ago we published the preliminary specs and expected performance out of NVIDIA’s GTX 1170 based on all the contemporary rumors and leaks at the time and we labeled it a potential GTX 1080 Ti killer. If this recent leak is to be believed then we’re indeed looking at a GTX 1080 Ti killer.

Let’s dig in. Here is the screenshot of the benchmark, which shows a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1170 GPU being used, with EVGA being the board partner. The GPU seems to have 16GB of Memory, and a 2.5GHz Clock Speed!
