The super was insulting not to give hdmi 2.1 and dp 1.4a. Any reason why they held back apart from greed and drip feeding? They must be preparing for another sucky launch if so.

The thing that makes me laugh is I keep reading how much in demand the 1080 Ti is but I have got a stack of original water cooled Pascal Titans that absolutely no one is interested in lol.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/wolfenstein-youngblood-benchmark-test-performance/

tl:dr This game makes good use of Turing architecture, as such RTX cards are significantly faster than the GTX cards they replaced. E.g at 4k, the 2080ti is 60% ahead of the 1080ti and 2080 is 29% ahead of the 1080ti.

All testing was done with Variable Rate Shading turned off. Turning it on adds about 15% extra performance to all RTX cards and GTX and AMD cards don't have support for this feature.

It's not surprising tbh. Something I expected all along. 2070 ahead of the 1080 Ti, 2080 25% faster than the 1080 Ti and 2080 S even further up the road.
1080 Ti was overpriced towards the end of it's "sales" life. Would be mad to pay more than £275-300 abs max used now IMO, even less for older cards.

Anyone got the EVGA FTW3 2070 super?

The display controller forms part of the architecture of the GPU. It can be changed and they could have done it, but yeah just lazy and didn't want to spend money on more advanced controller components.

Currently have £450 in the GPU kitty. Saving until the right point to jump back in. Considering waiting to see if rumours of the 5800(XT) are true and see what the GPU landscape looks like then. I don't see anything else from Nvidia this year except price changes if AMD release anything above the 5700XT.

i play vr so i think I'm tied to nvidia.

How do you find that GTD compared to the GTI and R

Mine is the "blueline" version so it comes with the 17" wheels. It's a great car. Quick-ish for a diesel but due to the smaller wheels it's a bit wallowy in the bends.
My mate's got the R and it's obviously a lot faster but it also handles much better. He had the R-line diesel before that and it handled better than my GTD.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is confirmed to have support for NVIDIA's RTX Raytracing technology, but the problem is that the feature isn't supported at launch and will be added at a later date. This happened with Tomb Raider, too, and I simply find it unacceptable to add RTX months after release. At that point, most people who are interested in the game will have finished it already and moved on. I seriously doubt people will replay games just for the RTX experience.

Still no RTX on release....

The 1080ti still holding its own....anyone with one no point in upgrading until at least until 3000 series...

Ordered my 2070S with my new rig (Gaming X-Trio), Not been Nvidia since the 8800s

Deffo feel even if it costs me 90 quid a 2070 super is now justifiable over a 1080ti but getting hold of one is a nightmare

Pointless sidegrade

Go play some games...

In what way does the 1080ti not deliver? Or is more of a case of FOMO?

willhub · 27 Jul 2019 at 16:38

The 2070 super is faster (slightly), RTX Effects do appeal to me and you get 2 free games, quite happy with the side grade to a newer architecture,

You’ll get Youngblood...and RTX doesn’t work with it yet!

By the time it does the 3000 series will be close...

Well I need an excuse lol. I've looked at numerous benchies and it seems worthwhile for minimal outlate, flog the Aorus 1080ti, and I get RTX, sure, not 60fps blazing fast, but it's there. And next upgrade around June next year.

Yeah. And Nvidia is implementing Ray Tracing here, not the developers. Tbh for a game that lasts 4-5 hours, whole point is moot.
And it pretty bad game full of SJW malarkey, doubt anyone would play is more than twice. Once with RTX off and one when ever RTX comes back on. It has no replay-ability.

And is sad to see RTX been added on games without replay-ability. If RTX was added on World of Tanks or Elder Scrolls Online, even myself would go and buy an EVGA RTX2080Ti.

Hell count me in for a gsync monitor also

Because going to spend 3-5 hours per day on those games for X amount of years, it will pay off. Spending £1200 to play games that last 4-6 hours and these are 1 every 3-4 months. Pointless.
