Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Only when nVidia push RTX into the lower level cards imo, which probably won't happen until 7nm.

That is true however I was talking more so of RTX in general as it’s still in its early form. It will be used for a lot more things than just gaming per say. And will find many many workstation/business uses.

I wouldn’t be half surprised if we see a workstation based RTX/tensor card very soon.

If say it ends up being a massive success on the 2080+2080Ti then AMD are going to need some form of RTX on their 7nm cards for sure.
 
i thought in the original video he said that the 2070 would be from $499,but on the NVidia website its now $599 ?

Not sure if this was posted already but i have to admit Ray Tracing in Battle Field V look very nice.

Been following this and related RTX threads for a while, but felt compelled to register and post.

I fully agree that RT does look great, but I would be keen to highlight the fact that not all maps in BFV will have this sort of setup. The scene shown in the demo is effectively a hall of mirrors; it has a convientently wet, reflective floor surface, buildings full of windows which represent the walls, and one non-reflective sky being the ceiling. So immediately you have 3/4ths of the scene functioning as mirrors, coupled with various stand-alone 'mirrors' (car panels, soldier's eyeball/gun/bayonet). That's quite fortunate for RT purposes!

Whilst it looks fantastic, what are the other BFV maps going to be? I'm sure some open land maps will be there with few walls to be reflective and few puddles of water (it isn't always raining!). Chances are there will only a small amount of maps (and a small number of areas within said maps) that lend themselves to this hall of mirrors effect. Furthermore, your not always going to be on foot in BFV, and I imagine RT it hard to appreciate when traveling fast in a plane or light vehicle.

This isn't me trying to diss RT, but I think it's important to balance this demo's impressiveness with consideration of what it will be like in other scenes within the game.
 
+1 AMD are going to need something special to compete with nvidia even with the 20 series to be perfectly honest.

If RTX ends up being the best thing since sliced bread. Then AMD are going to struggle.

They were already struggling, its why they pulled out, they're done.

On reflection I think you are right.
 
He reckoned they were going to change the Titan to be a completely separate product, not marketed at gamers at all. To be fair, that's pretty much what the Titan V was, and apparently they list the Titans separately on their driver page these days.

However, like I said, unless the performance increase is far beyond expectations, the "tier reshuffle" hypothesis is nonsense.

They list them as Titan, but still download an use GeForce Drivers; and get game ready drivers in the GeForce package.

No separate drivers there; like for Quadro.

The $499/$699/$999 prices were for AIB cards hence the "from"

The ones on Nvidia site are their founders editions and are priced higher
 
ah,so NVidia get to set the prices for the AIB cards,i see.

be interesting to see what these cards cool like,is the wattage close enough to the 1070-1080ti cards or higher?
 
I, initially planned to have no hesitation in ordering one of the ' RTX 2080' series cards, yet when you take a pause and look at Nvidia's/Microsofts roadmap for this tech, you realize its going to be slow plod, just look at the lacklustre adoption of DX12 . It'll all be done in 'drips and drabs'. You won't have much to show for your money and support. I'm happily on the fence.
 
I'm interested in 2070 performance to be honest, don't really feel like spending too much for a 2080 or 2080 Ti, but hopefully it's faster than a 1080 Ti.

I can't see the 2070 being faster than a 1080Ti, it's looking as though the 2080 is only marginally faster.

Unfortunately gone are the times of the new 70 series cards matching/beating the previous 80Ti cards, and to top it off it's about £130 dearer than the 1070 lol
 
If the pricing increase is linear with performance then these new cards are dead in the water, even with RTX. Hopefully Navi will be competitive to push prices down.
