Let's assume that is completely real, right. It's a tiny, weeny bit faster than a 1080ti.

So even if the 1180 were 25% faster (which would be what I would expect with my huge grain of salt) then what will it be good for? 4k? yeah, maybe. I mean, you still don't need more than a 1080ti for 4k. So that means that these are both 4k cards. How many people actually have a 4k monitor to drive? 'cause the last time I looked it wasn't many.

GPUs are only as exciting as the games coming out for them. And right about now there are none that even make me tingle a little bit. The new Metro almost does, but I know I can play it on what I already have (either a Fury X, Titan XP or Xbone).

I will also assume the prices are going to be bat s**t insane, which kinda makes me just yawn.

The only thing I'm really hoping for is cheaper 4K cards. I managed to practically steal a 4K monitor from a colleague but I haven't got the horsepower to properly run it.

My Vega 56 is a 1440p card which it does really well and still looks nice when scaled up. That's a £380 card, at least it was when I bought it and I feel the price/performance was good for the time.

The jump to a 1080 Ti is over £200 which isn't to be taken lightly. If we could get 1080 Ti performance at the £400 price point I'd be excited. But I'm afraid you're probably right in assuming that the prices from Nvidia will be nuts.

But why shouldn't they???? As long as the Z370 boards are updated so they don't F... current users, there is absolutely no reason not to put the new chip on the boards, and sell the same board as a Z390. It would be stupid not to do it :)
 
Probably the only change if any will be to the VRM's and slap an extra £10 to £30, on each compared to the Z370 variant's and fools will run out and buy them.

I am staying on my Z270 with a 7700K at the moment, which is de-lidded but not overclocked other than the MCE being turned on, as it does everything I need it to for this pc now.

Not in to the whole upgrade a cpu every year or two just because something new comes out, because quite frankly 5% to 10% increases is just not worth it to me anymore.

My next upgrade will be for my Recording/Rendering machine and that will be to either a Threadripper or something like that, eventually when I have saved the money up.

Then after that it will be what ever the 1200 series of card's will be from nVidia or if AMD around that time actually worth buying, for me but that is probably a few around 2 years away or more anyway.
