I thought it was already known that the 2080 would be 8gb or 16gb? so why is this 11gb?

The 2080 is 8GB

The 2080ti is 11GB

Both of these are exactly the same GB as their previous gen counterparts (1080 - 8GB and the 1080ti - 11G

.

Not sure where you heard they would be 8 / 16 GB....not that I would mind that

I think 11GB is kinda silly, always have...but it'll be whatever it'll be.

Not like any games for a few years from now will even remotely take use of 11GB so the higher cost to put in an extra 5GB when it most likely won't even be used just seems silly.

Im not convinced by all this, id be very surprised if Nvidia launch the ti alongside the vanilla, I smell photoshop

From what I can understand they are indeed going to release a Ti soon but it won't be a full fat Ti like you were used to in the past. And they will get another round of cards out of this tech, and another Ti.

That depends on how long Nvidia wants this to be on the market for. It seems likely that Turing is a TSMC 12nm architecture, if they release the Ti 8-months to a year later they would be arriving at 7nm pretty late.

The only cards "so far" confirmed to be 16GB or higher are the Quadro series

The 2080 / 2080ti box art could absolutely be photoshopped...but I doubt it. Again why would NVIDIA (aside from being a greedy corp lol) bother with 16GB GPUs when we are barely even using 8GB GPUs to their fullest potential (vram capping).

It doesn't make sense in the slightest bit. I'm not saying I have any fact behind the GB range these cards will use or have at launch as I don't know anything about that. But it likely that they will use a very similar max vram as the 1000 series cards.

reason for 11gb and not 16 is easy.

There is not a single game using more than 10gb not even in 4K. So there is no point in selling a card with 16gb of memory that will not be used. Moreover, produce a 16gb card is more expensive than 11Gb. Price is also very important.

It's mostly because the big chip seems to use a 384-bit memory bus. Divide that by 32 and you get 12 chips. Use 8Gb (1G

chips and you get yourself 12GB of VRAM.

If Nvidia did a Titan/XX80 Ti segmentation like last time, they cut off one of the 32-bit memory channels and are left with 11 chips, which at 1GB per chip equals 11GB.

If they indeed release the regular and Ti almost simultaneously, and then a second Ti down the road it'll get messy - like Intel messy. What's the point, of having one Ti now already, I ask?
