They really should redo Skyrim on a better engine (and update gameplay mechanics and UI to make them less clunky) now with Ray Tracing and online functionality - still a lot of life in the story and world side of that game.
I had a nice setup with mods, SkyUI and so on but forgot to backup my final version of the ini file and a GPU change reset too much stuff and I could never get the setup I had working again
it had fixed all z-fighting to the horizon, trees with proper density to the horizon, etc. as well as enhanced foliage.

Skyrim is crap. Played it but never got me hooked. ESO on the other hand is far far superior game. And imho the best MMORPG since DAOC.
And it would greatly improve with DX12 so why not drop DXR.
See that scene and imagine it with proper ray tracing and shadows.
(the above is taken with Vega 64, having overwritten settings to 4K ingame rendering and driver override the AA to 2xMSAA and AF16)
Yes and no - there are a lot of problems with the game but heavily modded it is a much better experience and has some decent depth to the world building and so on. I could never enjoy it out the box but with stuff like SkyUI, etc. I managed to get into it a lot more.

Was how my Skyrim was looking - was just getting to sorting some better 3D textures for things like roads and walls, etc. when I managed to destroy the ini file and couldn't get it running again as I couldn't remember my exact settings
having so many active cells, etc. broke the game unless you tuned it to very specific tolerances.Yes and no - there are a lot of problems with the game but heavily modded it is a much better experience and has some decent depth to the world building and so on.

I played it in 2011 quite a lot. However didn't kept me more than the initial run. And I do have all the DLCs which never touched.
Somehow after starting ESO in 2014, I find Skyrim simply meh.
Sure the engine is flexible, and you can add textures etc, making the only game where an RVII 16GB VRAM can be utilized fully
but still not my cup of tea any more. The next single player ES has to be truly very good for me to buy it. However given it takes place in High Rock, it will be full of Orcs and Bretons. So pah, this one doesn't want to leave the warm sands of Elswyer
It's one game, an outlier at that. The 2070 is not faster than the 1080Ti.

Well it's on par and faster in some cases, seems like if you get a good overclock the 2070 super can fly.
Except that I was replying to a guy talking about the 2070 not the 2070 Super.

But it's a newer game, something the 20 series will be better at. 2070 S will be consistently ahead and for £380 or so brand new the 5700XT is in the mix too now. Even just one game, it shows the potential in newer GPU's that's now lacking in older gen, so when games developed properly, this is the performance level we should expect and this I reckon will be similar to the pecking order moving forward. We also all want the best performance (or performance vs visuals) from a game for the 10+ hours we'll be playing it.
It's still be good to wait for the 3000 series but by then the 10 series will have a very low resale value I think - RT will be all the rage

Nope, ordered one from another website as it has an actual date but it seems like that's when the EVGA 2070 supers get restocked in general perhaps given the Gigabyte models were supposed to have recently been sent out
No, it's an outlier, there are always outliers. You have been talking up the potential of these new GPUs since launch, yet a almost a year later, there are only a handful of games available that they excel at. And by the time there are a meaningful amount of games, Pascal cards and Turing cards won't matter. The 1080Ti was still a better buy than the 2080 before lack of stock skyrocketed the 1080ti prices. And with the 2080 super release, the 1080ti was an even better buy back then.

WIll you be playing the game? If so, that's 10+hours however where you'd be getting better performance from a higher end Turing card with that game so it matters. We're all FPS queens at the end of the day (or balanced with visuals) , after all, that was what many complained about when the 20 series landed (small FPS increase)
. It's 25% extra performance from the 2080 in that title which is considerable. I don't get through loads of different games in a year so even if the odd game that I play shows a huge leap in performance or has RT, it matters and I think that's the case for others too.IMO the price was too high for the 1080 Ti at EOL. To me the 2080 was an "expensive" no brainer option to buy. Shame the price was high but still made more sense.

If you referring to Wolfenstein Youngblood, is just 7 hours solo and 3 hours co-op. Nowhere near 10 hours. With zero replayability.

Just cross flash whatever bios matches your cards PCB design. The founders cards can for example be flashed with the EVGA SC Ultra bios.
https://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/how_to_flash_rtx_bios/
Nvidia killed custom bios tweaking after pascal.
So you don't need any hardware to do this?
and it doesn’t even have RTX enabled yet...a bit like waiting for shadow of the tomb raider by the time RTX arrived most people finished the game moved on an many turned RTX off as it tanked performance.
