At least AMD did a descent job and you can run the Vega with all it's belts and whistles. If yuo try to run the Turing cards with all their belts and whistles, you will get 24fps at 1080p

It is a fair.point. AMD took flak for it. I hope NV get it too. Just put offer in on 2nd hand 1080ti . That way NV do not directly get any money from me

Without Ray Tracing......

Your point is? 1080Ti doesn't have raytracing either - I wanted something which would handle 4k better than 1080Ti all indications seem to show this is the case with the 2080Ti. Trying to compare apples to oranges isn't helpful.

good video wish people would not pre-order but I am afraid that there is a lot of "Must have the latest and greatest" thinking going around. Pretty sure you could get people to pre-order anything.

Probably not, except the 2070 will likely be faster than the 1080ti and cheaper. Nothing like the performance per dollar jump we expected but still an improvement

Improvement should be made on the tiers with pretty static pricing.
Otherwise we'd have the next XX70 card being 700.

Pre ordering with no actual performance comparison is insanity? And at these prices. Honestly Nvidia are so lucky to have such a devout following that will literally buy anything they make.

The irony is we can never expect competition because of this. Prices will only get worse, odd situation for sure.

I agree, it's not exclusive to Nvidia though.

And as said before, you've been guilty of what you preach.

I see lots of people going crazy about the Tomb Raider fps despite the fact it has been made clear by several of the people who were there that this was an early RTX build of Tomb Raider with very early drivers and is no where near optimised yet. We have also seen commentary from Dice that the performance is much higher than people are expecting. Seems there are a lot of butt hurt people ****** off about the price so just contaminating the thread with baseless negativity... so pretty much the same as every other release day then....

Personally, I am looking forward to the arrival of my 2x RTX 2080 Ti

You can but since the 2070 is 10 times faster at ray tracing than a titan pascal xp and the 2080ti can only do ray tracing at 30fps at 1080p, I guess you will be able to switch it on and run at 10fps or less

Ouch

EastCoastHandle · 21 Aug 2018 at 18:01

30 fps + 30 fps = 60 fps
It just works...

Aurhinius · 21 Aug 2018 at 18:02

My expectations at best I think you will see -

2080 same as and in some titles up to max 10% >1080ti
2080ti same as and in some titles up to max 10% > Titan Xp

Worth the price jump? Hell no. Worth the pre-order price stupidity - definitely hell no!

For the price of a 2080ti you could buy someone a whole mid range gaming PC.

It really is off the scale of value for money and in to luxury territory.

It should. What with it costing £2500.00!

Hixxy0 · 21 Aug 2018 at 18:04

My worry is, where do we go from here? As long as Amd are not competing the price can only go up!

There have been many wise and insightful posts here. But this here really puts the icing on the cake!
Well said.

It goes to a PS5 is where it goes.

Wait for 7nm unless you're on Maxwell or prior I'd say.

So let's assume that when the benchmarks come out, the 2080ti is roughly 20-30% faster then the 1080ti, and the 2080 is roughly on par?

What would you expect to happen to the prices of the 1080ti's?

£40 per frame assuming 1-1 scaling.

Yeah it's starting to look that way.

Tom Petersen, NVIDIA, about GeForce RTX pricing: "The market is gonna decide on where this really should sit, but I feel like we pretty comfortably well within a spot that's gonna make gamers delighted"
