What's the prize? Your old plain non RTX 1080Ti?



Don't bite Kaaps! Lol.

I am not biting but for some reason this pic was the first thing that entered my head.:D

Could there be peace on the graphics forums, probably not.:D

Yea, I just got my money for the RTX 2080Ti refunded this morning and the GTX 1080Ti's should arrive tomorrow.
My wife has also got er 2nd RTX 2080 RMA'ed and now requested a refund. She'll get a pair of GTX 1070Ti's.

Lol at your sig. 2080Ti eh? :p

Also, isn’t SLI mostly dead these days? Even when working then you have microstuter. No thanks. I have had multi gpu before, not worth the hassle at all if it is primarily for gaming imo.

It's been better in 2018 than it has been in 2016/2017. I've run SLi/3-way SLi permantly since 2006 and I have never had any serious issues - I only recall 3 times SLi gave me an headache. Micro-stutter hasn't been of any severe issue of mine. I was pretty happy originally with my 2x Zotac GTX 1080Ti F.E SLi, but RTX 2080Ti was too tempting... but now where it's a 50/50 risk with defective cards we had it with the RTX series, so we are going to play it safe again with the good old Pascal.

All this bad publicity for these cards mean that selling them on 2nd hand is going to be a tricky proposition in places like the MM as well.

A card that's getting as bad a reputation as these cards are being branded with, will stick. People will be very reluctant to buy them 2nd hand.

Reminds me of the situation with the GTX590...

Yeah, not to mention the headache if you fit a waterblock and the hassle of having to put the original cooler back on, then return it and worry about will they/won't they refund if they notice it's been taken apart.

It's just another headache people should not be having to think about with a card costing north of £1000
 
Ocuk must be expecting stock of the gaming X trio in soon seeing as it's price has jumped up to £1500. :rolleyes:

Was only £300 overpriced before, make it a nice £400 eh? :rolleyes:

I can confirm that ... no stuttering etc. butter smooth gaming :rolleyes:
... very happy with my 1080Ti SLI performance results and temperature as well ;)
 
It makes things unrealistically shiny and reflective. Especially in the middle of a warzone. Also quite buggy because it can't properly apply effects to objects off-screen, or are fast moving.

But it seems they are faking a lot of it by just disabling traditional effects when RTX is off, to make it look better than it is.

Yeah does seem to be a bit of fakery in the images as well. If they were to render the fake effects via rtx it would tank frame rate even more.
 
That reflection in the painting is completely unrealistic to me. For starters the painting's surface appears matt. Then the only reflection is of the player boarding up the window which vanishes. When they turn, you can still see plenty of light coming through the gaps which should also reflect on the painting. Also, it's the only reflection - there are no others on the surface of the painting from the various other lights sources. It's like it's been baked in, just in a different way. I thought the whole point of RT was that it calculated the path of light realistically for a scene?

Also, the reflectionless bridge just made me sad - a perfect example of why you would want RT and it's missing. The water in the harbour just looked bad, I much preferred the traditionally rendered scene even though it did not have any reflections.

It just feels rushed and rough around the edges to me :(

It honestly feels like something that was cobbled together in the space of a few months, and i mean the tech in the gpu not the actual game. It's like they needed some big selling point for the card so justified the big die and big price by gibbering on about ray tracing and tensor cores. Far as i'm aware a Tensor core is mainly for "deep learning", it's just been repurposed to "denoise" some of the artifacts that seems to come with ray tracing. But the way the term "tensor cores" has been thrown around it's like people think those cores are responsible for the ray tracing itself, which isn't the case.
