Underwhelming and sure to be overpriced. Nvidia your greed will destroy you

FinalFantasyFanatic2325d ago

It's already hurting them, sales aren't good and shares are down, they're losing money for the way they handled the RTX series.

SegaGamer2326d ago

If this is true, then this card is completely pointless. Why not just make more 1070ti's, 1080's and 1080ti's and cut the price on all of them by $100? This card is weaker than all of them but Nvidia are trying to trick people into thinking it's great because the name has a higher number.

Stupid name and a stupid card.

uth112326d ago

it's a replacement for the 1060 series not the 1070 and 1080

SegaGamer2326d ago

I never said it was a replacement for the 1070 or 1080. I'm saying they should just keep making the cards I listed above and decrease the price by $100 instead of releasing this card. We already have a 1060, so why release a replacement for it that will give a tiny bit more performance? We could have gotten more for our money if they just kept on making 1070ti's, 1080's and 1080ti's and sold them at a lower price.

What next, an 1770 that is as good as a 1070 and 1880 that is as good as a 1080?

It's like Nvidia are deliberately trying to confuse people.

ABizzel12326d ago

The name complaint is pointless, as anyone looking to spend $200 - $1000 on a graphics card for a computer has done all the research they need before making a purchase, and the majority of the time even if it's a kid sending their parent to get it, you can almost always take something back to the store as long as it's not open.

That being said this card is there to force you to buy into the RTX cards, it's basically around the performance level of the 1070, with less but faster RAM. What will make or break this card is the price. $249 - $299, hopefully $249, but NVIDIA will definitely launch closer to $299.

UltraNova2325d ago

1060's replacement GPU is the 2060. This, this is greed incarnate.

annoyedgamer2325d ago

New NM process. This is common but I agree about the price, it keeps inching up.

Elwenil2325d ago

The naming thing is something both Nvidia and AMD do every generation. I agree people paying for a new card normally does their research but it doesn't stop them from selling these types of "clone" cards.

Weeblordbad2325d ago

Because fabricating older GPU is expensive when they have Turing GPUs that aren't coming out perfect it makes more sense to do this rather than "make more" of the older GPU. There is a finite amount of fabrication volume, and that costs money.

Seriously, you know absolutely nothing so go sit in a corner and shut up. You really think Nvidia is trying to trick 1080 or 1070 owners? Wouldn't you assume anyone spending that kind of money on a card would do some research before spending 279 on something else? Oh right, it's that "greedy" Nvidia.

Title makes it sound amazing but the performance is on par with a GTX1070 however with 6GB with certain games it will perform less.also note that the FFXV benchmark isn't that reliable to actual performance a cross many games.

OpenGL2325d ago

I still don't get why this would exist, why release new cards without your new key differentiating feature that AMD does not have?

I_am_Batman2325d ago

Because RTX is expensive and has moved the price of their "entry level" card (RTX 2060) up to the level of last gen's mid tier card. They need a card for less than $300 on the market especially with RTX cards not selling well.

uth112324d ago

this exactly.

the people on this site seem to think everyone buys 1070s and 1080s. news flash: they don't. the 1060 is the most popular card right now, and this provides an upgrade path that keeps to low price/decent performance ratio that mid-tier buyers want.

They will have fired close to 20,000 people all up after this round of lay-offs coming, since the ABK deal announcement in January 2022. Shocking really

January 2023:
Microsoft laid off 10,000 employees, which was a significant workforce reduction.

January 2024:
Approximately 1,900 gaming employees were laid off following the Activision Blizzard acquisition.

May 2025:
Microsoft announced a further 6,000 layoffs as part of an organizational shift.

June 2025:
Additional layoffs, including 650 in the gaming business, focused on corporate and support functions

It's not that shocking considering these numbers aren't just Xbox numbers as you're deliberately trying to make it seem for some reason.

Interestingly, another no shocking fact is that whenever Microsoft releases its quarterly earnings reports, you're quick to point out that those numbers aren't exclusive to Xbox. Yeah... go figure.

They also fired around 2500 people across Microsoft's gaming divisions and Zenimax shortly after buying it, and before they closed down 4 studios including Arkane and Tango.

I remember Satya boasting about how compassionate he was for splitting the list 50/50 across the two companies.

Bring your sources. I´ll wait.

He doesn’t have any sources lol

He also forgot that Sony does layoffs too

Let's hope its not as bad as socials are making it, good luck to those that unfortunately lose their jobs.

Could be not as bad could be horrible. But it's Ms so I'm expecting the absolute worst.

Sometimes I feel like they brought in Sarah to take the heat away from Phil.

Phil has always stuck his nose into everything Xbox related when it's something positive or at least neutral but as soon as they went the multiplatform root he's stood back and let Sarah do most of the talking in terms of PR. Now they are doing the same with layoffs.

The person who should be let go is Phil himself.

RhinoGamer884h ago

Phil and his inner circle of circle jerk bros like AG.

You have no idea what you´re talking about.

*IF* Microsoft decides to address the upcoming layoffs, Matt Booty will be the one in the spotlight since he is the president of XGS.

Phil will probably be on some bs drama later doing interviews telling people how "devastated" and "sorry" he is for those affected while wiping away his tears with money.

Sarah is the President of Xbox (hardware) so she will be better off taking care of hers business and let both Matt and Phil face the backlash.

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

GamerRN1d 10h ago

If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off

Cacabunga1d 9h ago

Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need

Flewid6381d 8h ago

I've never owned an Xbox in my life and I have GamePass.

thorstein1d 7h ago

The only Xbox I owned was the 360. I have gamepass for my PC.

Majority of Gamepass users are currently on console...

Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.

A slow, painful and public death too.
