Sounds like your just trying to convince yourself here. You jumped at the pre-order and told. Nvidia you will buy anything they release, at any price, without seeing benchmarks or performance specs. Now pay the consequence. Enjoy your 22fps Ray tracing at over a grand lol.I could happily play Tomb Raider games at 30 fps in truth. Twitch shooters not so much but G-Sync does a decent job of keeping everything smooth. And if it is too much of a frame hog, I can always turn it off also. Not like it is compulsory

I really do hope UBI jump on this with TD2, as I am a massive TD fan and still play it when I get time. I am not such a BF fan nowadays but might have to get BFV just because it has RT in.Can honestly say the games they demoed yesterday dont really interest me, however should they lob that fancy RTX stuff into Division 2, or a decent ARPG or MMORPG then im all over ithowever shadows is generally the first thing that gets turned off on most raiding PC's as its notoriously bad for FPS with tons of people on screen at once.
But i play a lot on my Xbox now, and 30fps doesnt bother me at all either. But your also correct, you can switch this stuff off, but would suck to have to do that if you just weighed out £1100+ for a card designed to make use of that stuff, kinda defeats the purpose of the card itself

Things are starting to come out now. This is what I am seeing around the tinterweb, whether it's true or not I wouldn't like to say xD
People are suggesting Volta was a failure (Poor Volta), design / yields. Absolute mess. Not suitable for gaming / profits..
Nvidia in panic, made Pascal revision* strapped on some ray tracking stuff and charged us almost double the price for the privilege.
Knowing their fan base would lap it up anyway.
Meanwhile trying to tie up journos with very long NDA's, and lock in vendors to restrict advertising of competitors.
Nvidia in absolute panic mode.
This whole guff about 10 years in the making and all the focus on ray tracing is to distract from being not much faster than current Pascal.
At launch, no FPS / game performance mentioned. Just guff about ray tracing. No comparison to existing cards in a traditional sense. For the first time.
Interesting stuff.
Intel plz come and save the DGPU space...

Thanks and I certainly will enjoy RayTracing. You stick to whining and we will both be happy

The first game was visually stunning. Midtown music was a real treat, especially with Neutral Lighting on.
Thecuda cores aren't the same, they will have some improvements, but they don't need that many improvements to see the performance difference since the number of cores increased. Similarly the bump in memory bandwidth will help as well.
Don't forget, this is basically 2 (smaller) generations ahead of Pascal, but stuck on a similar process.
+1 to this, im all for tech making games look much better, i admire AMD for forward thinking, and have to admire Nvidia for doing the same, my only gripe is with Nvidia you know they will bring this at the detriment of their competitors and even owners of their previous products, atleast with AMD generally they arent trying to force you into spending out on their newest by intentionally gimping you.
I wonder if theres actual room for a dedicated RT GPU to run alongside a dedicated Rasterization gpu, kinda like the old voodoo accelerators etc, an add in board that the machine just offloads the Raytracing stuff too, rather than bundling it onto the same DGPU.. that way you get the best of both worlds, the RT DGPU only fires up when called on etc.

It'll be great. It'll be like they're battling with themselves in another technology (CPU's). AMD is doing to Intel what we're now hoping Intel will do to Nvidia?
. The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Vega on offer at the mo and at a decent price. If you are on the fence, it makes sense to grab a decent GPU for sensible money.
Probably not, except the 2070 will likely be faster than the 1080ti and cheaper. Nothing like the performance per dollar jump we expected but still an improvement
Indeed. Fair upgrade from r9 390. Will decide next week.

Pre ordering with no actual performance comparison is insanity? And at these prices. Honestly Nvidia are so lucky to have such a devout following that will literally buy anything they make.
The irony is we can never expect competition because of this. Prices will only get worse, odd situation for sure.

Tom Clancy's The Division.What game is TD ?

EDIT: Greg beat me to it.
It is a short term offer. I would buy now if I was in your shoes.

Being Ubi it will be The Division.
I so miss a decent follow up to Test Drive Unlimited 2 though
I look forward to seeing a 2xxx GPU in your sig in the near future, you've caved in yourself far too many times for me to believe you won't do it again.
