Someone said 50%!!!

If you look the graph they did where instead of raw fps they use tricks like 1.5 or or 2.0 it looked poor some games like PUBG where we need the perf looked poor. And then they started with the raytracing to hide the numbers. I believe they expect people to judge this by raytracing numbers? What happened to 4K? ;D

You always got at least double your old fps when you waited two years and bought a like for like replacement like the 1080 to 2080. If they do not deliver this and charge more than the £615 the 1080 was going for they can keep it. Raytracing will be o e of the first things i disable because 240hz is the biggest upgrade anyone can make right now. And all my money for christmas looks like it will be spent on the MSI NXG251. Jensen can go to hell with his raytracing and overpriced sub par product and Intel can go to hell with thier overpriced vulnerable garbage too.

Did you watch the latest video from AdoredTV? Look at the small print of the Nvidia benchmark. Is 4K res on GTX1080.
A card that is castrated due to 320Gb/s bandwidth losing 40% perf to GTX1080Ti at that resolution. Do the maths.

Also the 4K fps real numbers Nvidia posted, can be done by GTX1080Ti today, yet NV says no current Pascal card can do it!!!!!

I watch nothing mate im going to bail until launch bcause i already know i am right and i waited 2 years for not doubling my 1080fps at 4k. Its still a good card do people know it does 170fps in overwatch at 4k? Whats the selling point here for online gamers?

This was my point high fps at 4k before you leap into lowfps raytracing

Exactly. There is no meaningful improvement either way when you look at the numbers properly. :(
And I will agree with you. I have a V64 and works perfectly even at 4K FS TV. To the point I am looking to buy a 4K FS monitor, but the only worthy one is 43" :(

Agreed monitors are at least moving forward and probably offer the best opportunity to invest and improve your setup. Which reminds me still no freesync on 2080? Shameful!

Nah, just buy one anyway :p.
If in the market for a new GPU and especially if on 9 series or earlier, IMO it would be madness to buy a 10 series card now - just go for a 20 series that falls within price range.
Reviews IMO are going to mean less this time as the GPU's are forward facing. Reviewers hardly revisit GPU's in the future unless a new card is to be compared with them.
There;s a fair bit of tinfoil hat around the reviews and benches but I think give them the benefit of the doubt. As the cards aren't available still for the best part of a month they're probably still optimising the software side of things.
IMO it would be a bit daft to think these cards won't be better than previous gen by a decent amount especially when the new features can be put to use, and I'm sure they will be.
Review wise lets see the new Battlefield game 2080 Ti with RT on vs a 1080 Ti with it off - but not just FPS, how does it compare visually.

Did NV commit to that or is that what 4K owners want? I'd rather see more lifelike gaming than focus on getting 4k good. What next, 8k? Majority still game at 1080P. Granted, I don't own a 4k monitor and unlikely to for at least another 2-3 GPU generations. I remember buying 1440P(in 2011) then realising how much hardware at the time was needed to run it properly. It's only last generation or two it's been good in that respect. The next Titan will be the 4k card to have no doubt.
Will be interesting to see how two cards work with the NVLink. if it works better than Sli then 4k owners can buy more than one card :D.

All IMO of course but I really doubt any good independent reviewer is going to come to the conclusion that the 20 series is not worth it, best to keep to the 10 series that's been around for a 2.5 years, especially if buyers have older gen cards.

I find it difficult to believe that Nvidia didn't at least allow a few samples into the hands of reviewers prior to the announcement, and there are plenty of mentions of NDAs which suggest they did exactly that. The first thing you would expect reviewers to do would be to test the cards and have the copy written and numbers populated for the moment they are able to publish.

Therefore my money is on Nvidia NDAs not allowing any figures out until the cards are about to ship, and then they can't stop them. The question is though, if it is the case, why would Nvidia want to do that if the new cards are so good ?

Some reviewers have already tweeted pics of the cards they have

Drivers havent been issued yet

Date for reviews going live has been slated as 14th of September (so a week before shipping starts)
 
Think i'll stick with my 1080 for a little while longer.

I can't see the value in the 20series yet for myself.

I mean that could change.

I'm not so sure it won't be a significant increase. If not, then not in the traditional sense but still a massive jump; RT capabilities, AI/tensor cores. It's one of the most notable architectural leaps since a long time.

OK, lets be optimistic and say it's 50% faster (30-40% is probably more realistic though). Given the age of the Geforce1080 to make that kind of leap after 2 years doesn't seem like much to me? Combine that with the fact that prices have also increased by £100-200 per card over last gen and it feels like barely any improvement in terms of bang per buck.

Guess it depends on what you were expecting though. Maybe the new features will bring more to the table than the performance figures alone suggest?
