Something super is coming...

smoke and mirrors all trying to convince you RTX is good value, ignore and move on.

2080Ti imho should be priced below 1080Ti on account of the poultry increase in performance despite the claimed generational shift.

I’m assuming it’s just some bugs - but in the last demo build, Controls performance drops when RTX is turned off. Let the theories begin that Nvidia wants to force people to buy RTX begin

Still looks like they're making everything OTT shiny IMHO. I actually think I prefer RTX off, with it on everything looks like a mirror. The metal pipes looked the most well done thing, but still slightly too shiny for my liking. Also, every light source seems to be a literal star :D Shadows looked cool.

I feel the urge for some kfc now....
 
Has something super actually come yet? What's the word? Where are the new cards?

I'm only able to get on this forum about once a week and trawling through all the talk for something substantive isn't my idea of time well spent.

  • July 2: Planned announcement day for all graphics cards (RTX 2060 SUPER, RTX 2070 SUPER, RTX 2080 SUPER). AKA soft launch.
  • July 9: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER arrive on shelves.
  • July 23: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER planned to hit the shelves. [Tentative]

Nvidia plan to announce RTX SUPER on 2 July then reviews probably go live on 9 July.

It's all about wether they will release anything new from intel amd or nvidia before that date.... My thought was that it will be after that, for a 3 gpu makers, which is why i bought a 2080 and will be happy with that untill summer/autumn 2020 for a new card.

Anyone knows any different about new gpus then let us know, but im pretty sure thats it for now
 
Is there a 2080ti super varient, and if so what is the expected performance bump. Also this is normally the time of year u get the 980,1080 2080 varients just below the ti versions some months ahead. Are Nvidia just playing games with naming instead of a 3080 ect and these are the cards that will last into next year with a 2080 ti super and not 3080ti to follow in few months?

It was rumoured and "leaked" apparently but I havent seen any reference to it on techpowerup or anywhere credible yet.
They said it would be a new chip, an unlocked full core 16gb/s ddr6 version so we are looking at %10 ish more performance over a 2080ti but with voltage unlocked for those with watercooling, much like kingpin did with the custom pcb.
Again take that with a pinch of pepper

The next series cards will likely be out or almost out by the time that game releases, which i had already guessed would happen before.

No new games I'm interested in so skipping 2xxx series altogether.. bring on new cards next year.

Cyberpunk used RTX Titan on the E3 presentation. Get ready for deep pull, out of the pocket.

Yes Cyberpunk 2077 ran on RTX Titan at 4K, probably 30 fps. 9 months is plenty time for optimisation to 4K 60 fps until release on 16 April 2020.

It amazed how much technology advanced so quick since just over a year ago when games developers bought many 4x Titan V cards worth £12,000 each to developed ray tracing in games. Then RTX Titan with very powerful RT cores in a single card cost £2,399 launched a year after Titan V which was cost £2,999. Volta Titan V can rendered ray tracing with 640 Tensor cores but it was 30% slower than £300 Turing RTX 2060's 30 RT cores.

GTC 2020 will schedule to take place on 22-26 Mar 2020 and GDC 2020 will schedule to take place on March 16-20 in 2020. I think Nvidia may will launch next generation Ampere GPUs on Samsung 7nm EUV at either GTC or GDC a month before Cyberpunk 2077 release and Nvidia could bundle Cyberpunk 2077 with Ampere GPUs. Ampere RTX 3060 or RTX 3070 probably will be faster than Turing RTX Titan in ray tracing with increased RT cores into hundreds or maybe evolve into CUDA cores that will give us thousands of RT cores.
 
Digital Foundry is one of the outfits most impressed by Ray Tracing.

Before the RTX cards came out they saw Remedy games demo a RayvTracing game scene that had not good performance and it was running on 4 x Titan V in a system that cost 10s of thousands and now that performance is done using just a single 2080ti/Titan RTX

And I’m hopefully that sooner rather than later Nvidia is able to implement a chiplet design where by it can have two dies on a gpu, where one of the dies just has RT and Tensor cores inside. Then we’d see another massive performance leap - probably to the point where rasterisation became the bottleneck again and not rayvtracing. One can only dream so much, but that dream is of a 3080ti with two dies, one with 5000 Cuda cores boosting up to 2500mhz and the other die fitted with 400RT cores and 2000Tensor Cores all on 7nm at 250w offering 4K 60hz to 100hz rayvtracing on Ultra

Hmmmm I find this all very odd unless this supposed 10% increase is all they can muster out of this die and it's not enough for a straight 3000 series and they are just milking it before we get the die shrink for the actual 3000 series

I think it would be a bit soon for a 30x0 series wouldn't it?

And yes, I think that's exactly what they're doing, milking the architecture for all it's worth before a new design and process next year. It looks entirely like a way to torpedo the Navi launch by undercutting prices and beating performance points.

Which to me is a good thing - competition is supposed to give us better, cheaper stuff, right?
