Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

I have to admit, the presentation did it no favours, looks much better in the youtube link.

This actually shows how bad Ray Tracing is, you don't get reflections like that in real life.

Nvidia killed PC gaming for a lot of people today. Prices will only keep getting higher. May as well just buy a next gen console for graphically demanding titles at this point and keep the PC for everything else.

how have they? whats the problem?

I was thinking that when I saw it (I've several photos of animals where I can see reflected what they are looking at) - but the game reflection can only be as good as what it is reflecting, and by what I saw the fire that was being reflected was not the best to begin with. Jury still a little out.
It does, after all, 'just work'.

Indeed, the planes flying over the water is particularly bad.

I said it was going to be a grand. I said it! Everyone dismissed my talk as the raving delusions of a mad man. I will accept all your apologies now

Good call. I personally did not think they would take it this far. Looks like they have figured that as the Titans sold so well at that price, people would be willing to pay the same for a 2080Ti.

Very disappointing to see those prices, but at the same time knowing how greedy they are I am not shocked.

I am hoping that there is a link between the prices they went for and the size of these huge die’s and that we will get better prices with 7nm in a year or so. Also hope that their sales will be considerably smaller so they get the message.

What do we think about the below:

Me personally I think an unveil at computex next month is very likely!

can the OP update this post with the official spec and price? Its hard to find that info now on this 250+ page thread

As i said, these RTX effects are years away from being mainstream, anyone buying now is being duped bigtime....

RTX effects aren't years away, just weeks, we have titles out end of this year and next supporting it. Did you watch the stream?

As per usual, it is another nvidia gamework effect, which is overdone and in return looks worse and will "more than likely" cause huge FPS drops.

Mainstream.
Being in a few games here and there doesn't constitute that.

Ray tracing isn't bad, it's responsible for practically all pre-rendered vfx and animation. What you're looking at is just bad use of it.

Yeah, 3 sponsored titles. Woop.

I feel the need for speed, but not a 2080ti, have to go for a ride in the Tesla thats 4 new tyres price that 2080ti lol

 

[CREATIVE!11]

I have a genuine feeling the 2080ti will smash current gen Ti but I cannot make any decisions with that sort of money until I know for sure.

That and I’d be without a card till middle of September

I’m out for now

Probably a smart decision tbh.... and I was even eye'ing your Ti this morning on the MM. Without benchmarks we have no way to see raw power increase.

Bad design use doesn't mean the tech is bad though.

 

[FoxEye]

how have they? whats the problem?

If PC gaming prices keep skyrocketing, then PC gamers will leave the platform for consoles. It's obvious.

It's already happening, btw, before today. 10 series pricing was bad enough to do that already.

But these 20xx prices .... LOL ... those prices are not even close to the kind of money the avg gamer wants to spend on a single component.

It is NVidia who are using it to showcase Ray Tracing, if that is the best they have got......

I’ve had loads of enquiries now after this but even though I’m happy to give nvidia my dough I need to see some solid tangible information with a coffee

That is a good point.
