We all pretty much know by now that NVIDIA is working on its next-generation graphics cards. And although the green team has not revealed anything official yet, we’ve got a confirmation about the GeForce 11 series. At E3 2018, a Lenovo representative confirmed that NVIDIA’s next-generation high-end GPU will be called GTX1180 and that it will be coming to the Legion Desktop PCs in Fall 2018.
As Lenovo’s representative told YouTube’s ‘Brainbean’ in an interview:
“As well as along with up to GTX 1060 at this time but time to market with NVIDIA 11 series up to 1180 down the road.
Much like the tower where the 530 series would just have the red LEDs to the 360 motherboard along with i7 up to 32 megabytes of RAM (Editor: I’m pretty sure the rep meant gigabytes and not megabytes) up to 1060 at this time, of course, with the NVIDIA 11 series time to market later this Fall would get those GPUs as well.”
Again, this is the first time we’re hearing the name of NVIDIA’s new graphics card and its timeframe. Given the fact that Lenovo will add the NVIDIA 11 series graphics cards to its Legion Desktop PCs in Fall 2018, we should expect to see these GPUs hit the market a little bit earlier.

Ok.
that’s just a guess made by the lenovo rep. this is not confirmed.
because nowhere in the video he says it’s 100% sure the name is going to be called as 1180.
can’t trust this source, as far as others have also outlined. haha. Where is the Official confirmation from Nvidia ?
your above article does NOT prove this imo. i thinkt, the lenovo guy is also making a speculation, and he assumed the name would be called as a gtx 1180.
i watched the video, but from his wording he is also under the assumption that the next card is a 1180.
Where is the Official confirmation from Nvidia guy ?
Meh… skipping the next 3 releases. All the gaming sites will say how incredible it is and it will show its age in 3-4 months… again. This was not the norm back when Nvidia had competition. Now they only release small price gouged upgrades.
AMD or someone needs to get back in the enthusiast game before I quit gaming altogether.
Intel is getting in the game. Eager to see what they’ll offer and HOW they’ll step up their drivers division.
“HOW they’ll step up their drivers division.”
That’s a good point. Intel could easily pull ahead of Nvidia on GPUs considering their size and the cash they have on hand to do so if they choose to but the driver quality concern is one that I share with you. It does little good for Intel to roll out GPUs in 2020 that are faster than anything Nvidia can engineer if the drivers are botched so that the performance potential can’t actually be achieved.
Well, Intel says 2020 for their gaming GPU releases so that’s at least a year and a half away and depending on when in 2020 they are aiming for it could be 2 years away. Plenty of time for them to get geared up for it.
Indeed. They’re big. That a very big win for consumers for a third company to pitch in the discreet gpus. Let’s cross fingers for a good offer from their part that would result in a much more aggressive marketing from the two other giants.
AGREE! MY 970 RUNS evrything max settings 1440p 30+ fps so no need to change it!
Makes me miss 3Dfx.
Only getting the GTX 1180 if its at least 30% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti.
30% ? You serious ? lol
1180 – 1080 = 100
100/1080 = 0.092
9.2% performance increase. Up to 12% max if you network render with an Ouya.
Can I use more Ouyas in RAID to increase the network render of the 1180?
Nvidia is stupid for not going with the 2080 name, it would have been almost 2x performance increase :/
It might be 30% if it uses 384bit bus with 14gb’s GDDR6. We will see.
there’s no way it will be. one gen higher minus TI would be equivalent, maybe slightly faster, not 30%.
The 1080 is at least 25% faster than 980ti. 30% might be a bit high but 20%-25% faster is not impossible.
dear author, that’s just a guess made by the lenovo rep. this is not confirmed.
because nowhere in the video he says it’s 100% sure the name is going to be called as 1180.

Dude, they are launching the Legion cube PC with the 1180 in them this Fall, of course the 1180 will be out by then. You think a giant manufacturer like Lenovo plans random releases without knowing if the parts they’ll be using will even be available?
ok, read my post again. you have a point, and im not refuting it either.
but how do we still know the next card is called 1180 ? the rep just called out the name, didn’t confirm that he is 100% sure about nvidias next lineup.
most of the rumors are pointing towards the gtx 20 series more like ??
my reply got caught as spam in mistake.
It really doesn’t matter if Nvidia calls it an 1180 or a 2080. That won’t change the specs of the GPU and that is what matters.
nvidia could sell lenovo an early batch of 1180 GPUs directly, earlier than they are ready to fully launch the card. that would be interesting, I don’t know if those kinds of deals have been made before.

Wait what?. Lol i believe i was the one to comment that. Is that a thing to copy paste others comments ?

I love nextgen GPU releases especially since I will be buying the 1180 Ti when it comes and upgrade to 4K.
From the past 3 generations Pascal, Maxwell, Kepler here is what I expect in performance:
1170 somewhere around the performance of a 1080 Ti
1180 20% – 30% faster than a 1080 Ti
1180 Ti somewhere around 50% faster than 1080 Ti (probably releases 6-9 months after 1170/1180 releases)
There have been rumors that Nvidia doesn’t plan to bring performance increases with the nextgen as they have in the past. I’m hoping for the best though.
The only other concern is pricing. I expect a + $50 bump anyway just because GPUs are getting more expensive to manufacture as process node size decreases and transistor count escalates by the billions but some ugly rumors have gone around that Nvidia intends to increase prices even beyond that just because they can and they know that they can get away with it for now. Hope that’s not true.
$50 seems less imo. i expect very high pricing because this is nvidia after all
This video came out over a week ago. No one picked up on this till now?
i’m more leaning into the 1180TI but if the price is right i might grab 1180 instead…
there is a new batch of DLC’s coming into KCD and i just realized the game still runs like $hit on my 980TI in open cities on very high setting
i hope for some benchmarks soon, i would definitely like to upgrade soon
the 980Ti is essentially a 1070
and it gave me solid 60 FPS on witcher 3 ultra setting
i very much doubt it’s due to the GPU, KCD runs on the cry engine which is essentially an insanely demanding engine
