[2724.36 --> 2724.68] No, 780...
[2725.50 --> 2727.32] Maybe it's 700 series that I'm thinking of.
[2727.36 --> 2728.40] So, 700 series...
[2728.40 --> 2732.58] Yeah, then you've got a 980 that didn't...
[2732.58 --> 2734.08] Then the 980 Ti didn't come until later.
[2734.14 --> 2734.46] That's right.
[2734.76 --> 2738.60] So, 780 Ti was very similar in performance to the GTX 980.
[2738.92 --> 2742.22] So, when the 900 series rolled around, if you had a top tier card,
[2742.22 --> 2746.82] there was basically no upgrade for you until the 980 Ti came...
[2746.82 --> 2747.22] Or the...
[2747.76 --> 2750.14] Yeah, the 980 Ti came quite some time later.
[2750.34 --> 2754.58] Then the 980 Ti was actually quite similar to a 1070 or 1080.
[2754.76 --> 2758.18] So, there wasn't much of an upgrade there until the 1080 Ti came quite a bit later.
[2758.28 --> 2762.54] So, you actually have to kind of wait at least a half generation in order to get an upgrade
[2762.54 --> 2765.04] if you bought the top tier card from last time around.
[2765.50 --> 2769.56] So, that combined with the fact that the 10 series launched...
[2769.56 --> 2771.18] Like, when did the 10 series launch?
[2771.18 --> 2772.94] So, GTX 10...
[2772.94 --> 2774.38] When did the 1080 Ti launch?
[2774.52 --> 2775.26] Let's find out.
[2775.50 --> 2775.90] The Ti?
[2776.48 --> 2776.78] Yeah.
[2777.34 --> 2780.50] So, that was back in March of 2017.
[2780.82 --> 2781.98] So, it's been a full year.
[2782.24 --> 2785.62] You will still have no upgrade path from that.
[2787.90 --> 2795.16] So, the only people who will be upgrading are probably people who bought 1080s or before.
[2795.58 --> 2798.48] So, that was way back in May 2016.
[2798.48 --> 2804.22] People who bought 1080s and who have been waiting for a significant upgrade at that same price tier.
[2805.36 --> 2808.56] And we actually don't even know anything about pricing because while the crypto...
[2808.56 --> 2811.90] No, there is one tidbit about the pricing here.
[2812.04 --> 2812.38] Oh, okay.
[2812.76 --> 2814.62] And that it's going to cost more than it did last generation.
[2814.84 --> 2815.02] Oh.
[2815.14 --> 2815.76] 500 bucks.
[2815.98 --> 2816.28] Sure.
[2816.52 --> 2818.42] That's what is being guessed apparently.
[2818.94 --> 2820.44] For the 1170 specifically.
[2820.44 --> 2822.66] All right.
[2823.06 --> 2824.44] And that's a super rumor.
[2824.60 --> 2827.56] That's just like whispers around the industry indicate.
[2828.62 --> 2828.86] Yeah.
[2829.20 --> 2830.92] NVIDIA has been known to mislead people.
[2831.08 --> 2832.50] Like, I still remember there was a launch.
[2832.58 --> 2837.66] It might have been the 580 or something like that where they literally changed the pricing on us the day before.
[2838.14 --> 2839.30] And like, no one knew.
[2839.46 --> 2840.28] Their own partners.
[2840.40 --> 2841.44] By a lot or by like 20 bucks?
[2841.44 --> 2843.40] That was like by $100 or something like that.
[2843.46 --> 2844.14] It was pretty significant.
[2844.42 --> 2844.88] Up or down?
[2845.66 --> 2846.06] Down.
[2846.62 --> 2846.98] Yeah.
[2847.30 --> 2847.56] Yeah.
[2847.64 --> 2848.54] Can't complain though, right?
[2848.56 --> 2849.72] Yeah, that's old news though.
[2849.80 --> 2852.50] NVIDIA like surprising the industry with great pricing.
[2852.68 --> 2853.60] That's not a thing anymore.
[2854.74 --> 2856.38] SC2 Mitch posted this one on the forum.
[2856.50 --> 2860.26] This was originally posted on InsideGames.biz.
[2860.26 --> 2865.16] And I gotta say, this shouldn't surprise me, but it does.
[2865.50 --> 2867.40] It shouldn't because it's been on the WAN show before.
[2868.34 --> 2869.32] Well, whatever.
[2869.44 --> 2871.62] I probably skipped it because I was like, oh, that's boring.
[2871.76 --> 2878.60] So, the IOC is to host an eSports Summit in whatever, however you pronounce that, Lausanne?
[2879.52 --> 2880.04] Lausanne?
[2880.54 --> 2881.36] In July.
[2881.90 --> 2883.14] You're supposed to be a French speaker.
[2883.92 --> 2884.68] Oh, is it French?
[2885.32 --> 2885.90] It's in Switzerland.
[2885.90 --> 2893.12] All right, so basically this is just to continue the organization's dialogue with the gaming industry.
[2893.28 --> 2894.44] It's just a one-day meeting.
[2896.06 --> 2902.74] And in due course, approach the stakeholders of the Olympic movement again.
[2904.14 --> 2904.94] Never gonna happen, man.
[2905.00 --> 2907.34] eSports will never be in the Olympics.
[2907.50 --> 2910.30] And I argue that they don't belong in the Olympics.
[2911.14 --> 2912.36] I'm not gonna disagree with you.
[2912.38 --> 2915.72] I'm not even gonna play devil's advocate here because I don't think it makes a ton of sense.
[2915.72 --> 2920.82] But with that said, there is stuff in the Olympics that I don't necessarily think belongs in the Olympics.
[2922.52 --> 2922.88] Sure.
[2923.26 --> 2923.34] So...
[2923.34 --> 2923.94] There's...
[2923.94 --> 2925.44] I mean, here.
[2925.54 --> 2925.88] You know what?
[2925.92 --> 2926.88] Let's bring up the full list.
[2927.10 --> 2927.92] The speed walking and stuff?
[2928.44 --> 2928.76] Olympics.
[2929.14 --> 2930.10] I mean, this stuff's hard.
[2930.14 --> 2931.96] But the point is that it's athletic.
[2932.30 --> 2939.32] The way I look at it is in athletics, there's something you intend to do.
[2939.40 --> 2940.98] There's an action you want to carry out.
[2940.98 --> 2942.40] You see that action in your mind.
[2942.82 --> 2951.06] And then because your body has crappy tolerances, even though you want to throw that ball into that particular spot, you just can't do it.
[2951.14 --> 2953.34] But in a video game, for the most part, you can.
[2953.64 --> 2955.50] You want your units to move right there.
[2955.70 --> 2957.00] You click there and they move there.
[2957.00 --> 2963.76] So I think the fact that there's greater tolerances that you don't have much control over on your own body, that's what really separates.
[2963.92 --> 2970.56] I mean, you could make the argument that moving the mouse very precisely is a pretty good analog for that.
[2971.46 --> 2971.80] Sure.
[2971.94 --> 2974.70] But that's only a part of the game and not the whole game.
[2975.58 --> 2978.62] There are actually a lot fewer Olympic events than I thought.
