Will be interesting to see how it stacks up to a 1080 Ti

That's a good point. However Fermi was a famous physicist and we all know who Tesla was, right? to people like us - god.
I think they have been doing it for years. Very odd that they've not used the name Edison, but then he really wasn't a very nice guy. He was a genius beyond genius, but yeah not the nicest of human beings.

All I thought of when AI gaming-centric processing could be a possibility was a narrator just haranguing your every move in games.
"Well that was stupid!"
"Wow, I guess that's one way to do it."
And so on.

So it's like gaming with Twitch chat or a Dark Souls fan?
Maybe the AI will play the game for you?

I reckon they will continue the same level of progression as they have for a while.
Meaning the next gen cards are 1 tier performance higher than previous generations. So a 1080ti would = a 2080, a 1080= a 2070, etc. I don't expect much from this. It's probably using 12nm which in the grand scheme of things isn't much different than 14nm so they don't gain much from it in terms of more available space to use for cores.

You got a good point, actually. Well, I'm still looking forward to how these new cards perform against a 1080Ti.

With current market, and AMD's failure in gaming GPUs I see "tensor physx", and other Nvidia exclusive features being implemented in more, and more games. They could easily offer developers kits for implementation of new features, and some co-founding. And if they offer full range of GPUs low to high end, and with shortage of AMD cards, and true competition... I don't see anyone buying AMD card for gaming, apart from die hard AMD fans, and most of them will be converted, buy choice or, buy lack of other option.

Yep, unfortunately, no incentive to up their game significantly when incremental will do just fine.
That's pretty much already happening if the Steam hardware survey is anything to go by.

Unfortunately it's not an accurate survey. Which honestly sucks because if there's one source of information that would be important it would be Steam. I think every month they should have at least 33% of their users automatically get a survey and then the next month of a different batch of 33% get the survey etc.
Or at the very least split it into 12 groups for all active accounts over 12 months. Just my 2 cents

I think it would also be interesting if they tracked users upgrades

Well that would be done by default by taking a survey of your hardware with the benefit of not tracking your personal information
I think it's a good idea but I don't think I would like them tracking my info

Edison was a cheat and liar
and not very nice. Probably didn't go down well in the marketing tests.You do have people like Gilbert who coined the "electricity" phrase... but well not a very usable name to strike interest is it
Other names to use
Somerville
Babbage
Forbes
hmm absolutely loads of historical mathematicians and physicists actually.

I want a Babbage GPU! Only because it's amusing to say Babbage

Yup. He was a nasty sod. That's putting it mildly. He was a genius but sadly he was also a complete feckin douche. Rubbishing Tesla and AC and promoting DC (which is far more dangerous and all of those reasons) and pretty much making sure Tesla spent his days broke and homeless. I guess the American in him just couldn't help it.
Which sickens me, given Tesla was probably THE most intelligent, creative person ever to have lived.
I did, however, visit where he used to do all of his experiments and stuff. Not totally by choice.. Our main office was based in Edison NJ and I had to go up there (about 2 hour drive) for a seminar so I figured bugger it, will have a look around the place before I go back.

I don't rate Edison as he had the knack for finding the worst way of doing things like DC you mentioned and can you imagine how things would have been if people had their media on cylinders instead of disks, the amount of space it would have taken up. Imagine if DC had been adopted everywhere, the amount of power it wastes would have melted the polar ice caps years ago.
Tesla I think was probably one of the most creative people of his generation but there have been others though history who have also made massive contributions.
