Nvidia gtx 1180 appears in hp documentation

The existence of an NVIDIA GTX 1180, allegedly based on Turing, has been discovered through extensive documentation from HP, as has the GTX 1660 / Ti.

GTX 1180 is mentioned in HP documentation

With this news, the existence of this graphics card cannot be confirmed, for the moment, and if confirmed, we cannot guarantee that it will be available to the consumer in general.

The first reference to the GTX 1180 is in a PDF documentation from HP itself, it is the HP Obelisk Desktop 875 computer . We don't know if this is a typo, or if they forgot to update this documentation when the GeForce RTX was announced. This is the question that arises regarding documentation.

The folks at Wccftech gave an explanation of what this rumor could mean, arguing that HP may have simply forgotten to update the documentation when the RTX was announced. In the example below, we can see how an HP Omen computer previously owned a GTX 1180 graphics card, but now that same computer uses an RTX 2080. This would also mean that the current RTX 20 series would have been previously called GTX 11, and that NVIDIA changed the nomenclature shortly before launch.

Another possible explanation is that the GTX 1180 was an RTX 2080 with Tensor cores and Ray Tracing technology disabled. It would be the same case as the GTX 1660 Ti, which is based on the RTX 2060 without Ray Tracing technology.

Could be based on RTX 2080 but without Ray Tracing

At the beginning of the year some benchmarks of a supposed GTX 1180 that was recognized as an RTX 2080 had been leaked in GFXBench , so this last explanation could make sense, where the 1180 is nothing more than a die of the 2080 with the RTX and hardware deactivated Tensor.

We will be attentive to all the information that may arise about this graphics card, if it really exists.
