Lol paying 500 more for refections in eyeballs,

dropping 1k for some eye reflections mate

Totally worth

As someone who has played around with POV-Ray since the 90s the real time ray tracing tech is impressive and I've waited to see it happen for a long time, having said that I had to switch the stream off, will read about the highlights later...And the pricing is mental so I will skip this gen and hope competition from AMD/Intel will bring some sanity back.

You guys are gonna need these RTX capabilities man. There's no resisting it. :eek:

BF5 omg.

Gerard · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:48

And how much are these obviously massively game enhancing features going to suck out of the framerate? Funny how that's not been mentioned yet.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:48

Ok this BF5 nonesense has me sold, roll on 7pm

jb7 · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:48

This is nice and all but I don't see developers taking advantage of it, at least not yet

When will the benchmarks for *real* games drop?

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:48

The potato level fire effects in BF5 - LOL.

Edit!!

Also is tanking FPS in a competitive FPS really wise??

Hixxy0 · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:48

Which of the cards will be on pre order -

2060, 2070, 2080, 2080 Ti ?

I can’t see how that reflection stuff is anything but great. Some people just want to complain.

Some indication on lead times for AIB cards would be nice, when you can... Tech specs on whether voltage is locked like pascal by the GPU also

mjallan123 · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:49

ok the BF V demonstration is beautiful

LeMson · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:49

looks very pixelly this bf v demo

Unrivaledx21 · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:49

All this talk to hype it up before it drops to the price point and performance increase / specs. I don't know why I was expecting for them to treat their consumer base with respect.

Theyre actually much better ingame, not sure whats going on there, its like they've dumbed the effect down so it doesn't harm the framerate. Plus the stream being pixelly doesn't help.

I can tell you just now there was an empty RTX 2080ti section so assuming all!

Kelt · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:50

Ray Tracing...it just works.

shankly1985 · 20 Aug 2018 at 18:50

RTX on Battlefield 5 looks amazing!

Depends on how hard it will hit FPS.

Are those minor details worth a 30fps drop? No...
