1440p @30fps, impressive...

as much as i would rather pay for grunt than having rtx that is indeed impressive

I think if you go simple and plain, no badges etc on it it'll look good, badass

May as well go the whole hog and get some assless, crotchless leather chaps.

How many times has he said RTX then?

Those aren't real marbles,they're plastic

is that bad?

It was a fall-back node, not meant to last very long. Samsung had issues with their 7nm EUV, so they went to 8nm instead.. It is quite power hungry and not great...

Those marbles resemble anal beads which Jensen will put in our buttholes so we accept the new prices.

That double performance over Turing is just for Ray-Tracing right? Not raster performance?

Yeah and not even double in everything as well.

haha brilliant

Any idea what the actual render res, pre DLSS for Marbles would be?

Slinky69 · 1 Sep 2020 at 17:23

Ah, didn't know that 8nm was significantly worse than 7nm...

So far, it sounds like theyre polishing a big pile of poop, have to wait and see though.

Should be interesting to see which is correct. Is there enough capacity in TSMC 7nm to supply huge numbers of Nvidia cards? I thought most of their output had been bought up by other companies?

I guess we now know who was correct

We'll see that shortly, RT performance does not interest me much at the moment. Like you said, Raster performance is where it counts for most of us.

Here we go, this is why 8GB for 3070 is enough! Lol

LeMson · 1 Sep 2020 at 17:24

Ooooo cyberpunk

Greebo · 1 Sep 2020 at 17:24

And now we know why we only get 8gb and 10gb.........you have to use your own memory

The I/O feature is going to be a future must, I like that!!!
