GeForce GTX 1180 – the new flagship without the "rays" and tensile cores?

HP has published documentation that reports the NVIDIA GeForce 11 Series graphics card, the GTX 1180. In January, this accelerator was already highlighted in the GFXBench performance tests.

Whether the GTX 1180 will be based on simplified non-core RT crystals that are responsible for detecting rays or these rejected chips, where these blocks are deactivated, is not yet clear. Like the fact that the graphics card will be marketed or delivered to OEM manufacturers only.

The GTX 1180 appears on some HP Obelisk 875 and Obelisk 880 desktop PCs on the official website and online store compare-malin.fr. But we should not exclude that HP simply made a mistake in the documentation or did not fix the data after the release of the GeForce GTX 2080. We recall that the latter appeared in the famous summer rumors just below this name.

A curious model number, as the simplest graphics card was called GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. If the GTX 1180 is really a preparation product, maybe, unlike the GTX 1660, not only will the RT cores be disabled on this graphics card but will there be other simplifications?

Anyway, NVIDIA needs cheaper graphics cards of the modern generation that could compete more effectively with AMD's offerings that do not have the Turing generation's Ray and Ray scanning functions, which are not so popular.
