Meh, I don’t believe you.
Send it over here so I can try it!

I really want that card now as well. But. There’s always a bigger fish…

This is going to on sale for $1500 on Black Friday…I dunno though. I still might wait on the i9. I don’t have a pressing need for the 2080 so much as a want… And it isn’t a K and I think I’d rather have 32 GB of memory…and…and…and…
Just give up, I remember you doing this dance when it came to the 1080Ti, you know it’s going to happen. You might get a headstart now if you start doing more chores at home

Haha…yeah…but this time I don’t have any real pressing need. I’m pretty happy with what I’m running right now. It is an original 1080 I have though…not the Ti…so I could get a nice bump by going to the 2080. I would like for the parts to match though and not be hobbled by bad RAM or a processor that isn’t up to the job. I’ll wait a bit…see what shakes out…

Yeah, so…looks like it was just as we feared, RTX cards are slightly better at traditional games than their GTX predecessors but really not worth it for DXR.
A 66% reduction in frame rates in ultra vs turned off, over 50% reduction in DXR low.
RTX 2070 owners need not even think about it.

Don’t worry us game playing customers will pick up the tab by paying a premium on the new cards.
Fair play to start moving away from the old rasterization but there doesn’t seem to be much value for the user. Also looks like the Ray Tracing is just on shadows for now because we are somewhat about 50 years away from a home computer that can do actual Ray Tracing.
And which complete tit decided that 8G VRAM on the 2070 and 2080 was enough in 2018 !!
I must be getting old, because, i didn’t see squat.
50% fps loss for an imperceptible difference.

Yeah, the pros of RTX looks really weak in BF5, especially given the framerate hit. Puddles ain’t worth that.
One interesting aspect of the new cards is the DLSS anti-aliasing tech rather than the ray tracing. BF5 doesn’t seem to have been designed for multiple light sources so much, as in Shadow of the Tomb Raider seems to demo much more impressively.
Because of the high texture sizes being thrown around in VR, and the nature of the resolutions used in that, I wonder if DLSS might make the new Nvidia tech worth it?
A smarter way to anti-alias on-card without a brute force MSAA like method would really push things forward for VR displays. Mind you, not a good sign that we aren’t seeing demos taking advantage of this yet. Perhaps it’ll take some time to pick up, or it might be one of those ‘Nvidia only’ features that dies a death.

I honestly think ray tracing will be the future, maybe even in the next generation or the one thereafter, so in two to four years it will be big.
Not yet though.
Excellent…so with a 2070 I can get all the glory of a better rendered puddle in glorious 800 x 600 @ 30fps
I see no difference either. Given all recent news and releases, it feels like NVIDIA got caught ought by the cryptocrash and was overproducing old cards. They realized they needed something new fast and threw together a card with some relatively new research tech(RTX).
Because, why not focus on getting a good dozen games that can support it all by the end of the year and get some of that sweet sweet holiday season money? I simply don’t think the GPU’s were ready early enough to get a lot of developers on board.
