Thats fine. Then soak it up and move on. Don't get defensive when the common man questions your choice, Stand Strong and wallow in your performance gains. Don't then manipulate me or the masses with falsehood. You can drive the Porsche but I can still question your choice without taking your ball home.
You're right No they're not. So admit you have bought a card that cannot push your res with the feature set you bought.
I actually bought a pair of 2080 Ti cards because of all the negative comments by easyrider and others.
The EVGA FTW3 2080 Ti is a fantastic card and two of them together look very nice.
Although personally I am not going drop that amount of crazy money the RTX2080ti are asking for, I still think all these hype surrounding RT and DLSS are is not meaningful at the with the current gen RTX cards, as they clearly lack the capability to perform well enough for practical use.I actually bought a pair of 2080 Ti cards because of all the negative comments by easyrider and others.

Looks gorgeous mate.
I was away from PC gaming for nearly a decade, aside from the odd blast on my laptop.
Coming back to it this year I went 8086K, 1TB Samsung 970 pro, watercooling, 32GB DDR4 4000, and of course a 2080Ti. I figured I might as well go the whole hog.
Understandably, I've been utterly blown away by what it's capable of, but more importantly, I use this machine daily for work and it's increased my productivity ten fold.
Contrary to most here, i'm really not understanding the extreme negativity around RTX performance. I have a 4K 60HZ monitor and am currently getting around 70fps at 1440p and 40 fps at 4K in Battlefield V.
I genuinely think that for a first example of such an early stage technology, this is quite impressive for a few reasons:
- DICE have stated that they still have RTX in the pipeline in a synchronous manner, when they know that they can use it asynchronously and just need the development time. (This would mean that raytracing wouldn't be eating into the general rasterisation budget as the two would be performed in parallel).
- DLSS seems to give an incredible boost on the FFXV demo and I actually prefer the image to native 4K.
Even if we consider just the potential impact of adding in DLSS to BFV alone, then we would end up seeing the 2080Ti deliver around 60FPS at 4K with RTX and DLSS on, which would max out the vast majority of 4K monitors out there.
How on Earth could that be considered anything other than a triumph? I'm honestly asking, I just don't get it.
Still, I understand all the complaining about the price and I'm in complete agreement with everyone else in that regard. But at this stage I absolutely cannot agree with the overwhelming amount of negativity surrounding RTX performance. And that's not me trying to justify my purchase at all, because I use it for work daily and it's paid for itself already in terms of increased productivity.

I honestly think people that are dropping £1200+ on a graphic card (or 2) they would be better off with a "GTX" 2080ti, with the extra silicon space used for extra Stream Processors/CUDA cores over the RT cores etc, and get even more performance in ALL games rather than starring at reflective puddles all day while taking a up to 70% performance hit in number of games that can counted with on possibly one hand before 7nm cards arrive.
I know businesses are always in the practices of "create a problem, sell a solution", but in Nvidia's case their products that are launched in 2018 on the 12nm process are simply not ready to address the problem that they are trying to convince the gaming world need tackling, as clearly 7nm process would required for having enough density for packing actual necessary amount RT cores etc alongside the CUDA cores.
Also, I am still skeptical about how widely would RT really be adapted and used in games; it could go the way of the PhysX for all we know.
The way I see it is that people buying the 2080Ti cards they are essentially paying £800 for the card, and £400+ towards an already very wealthy company on "GoFundMe" or "Kickstarter" project on RTX
I will be sceptical about DLSS until we see it in real games, rather than demos personally. But I do hope it ends up being as good if not better by the time the 3080Ti comes out so I would have the option of using it on the most demanding of games for extra fps in the future.It's available to download now. It was released a couple of days ago. Having run it several times both with and without DLSS at 4K, I can firmly say that I prefer the DLSS image, it looks far more natural to me. And of course the 35% to 45% performance boost doesn't hurt either.
