Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Techradar hands on review here.

Although not explicitly saying so supposedly they where able to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 4k at a mostly consistent 50-57 fps with RT on.

Or at least that's how I have interpreted what they have written.

Been discussed, it can't be 4k and probably not even accurate as the developers of the game themselves said it was only running at 1080p and even then was jumping between 30 and 70fps, not a smooth 50-57 fps as claimed.

Yes, but in respect to anything outside of ray tracing, we don't know how these cards will stack up against Pascal in non-RTX enabled games. Very much looking forward to finding that out... but they are an absolute no-buy until then, for me anyway.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Performance Previewed – Delivers Well Over 100 FPS at 4K Resolution and Ultra Settings in AAA Games, Ray Tracing Performance Detailed

That's the same site with all sorts of crap rumours. Hell they even pull down the X1 Precision image when EVGA confirmed that is a mockup.
Otherwise they were running article with "2080Ti clocks 2150 core"


The only concrete numbers we have are the Tomb Raider 1080p benchmark and seems since that one leaked out, we see the firefighting from many media outlets.....

The same ones who run their custom AIB Vega 64s at 1847rpm when the fans do double that :mad:

To make each generation more expensive than the last by an amount proportional to the extra performance is not the norm.

Normally with a new gen you get more for the same money, if you stay at the same "tier". And tier obvs means xx60 or xx70 (etc) brackets.

Yep,and its going to be even worse down the range,so the 60 series cards either get more and more expensive,with no change in price/performance or we end up with more sub-variants which means you either have to stump more and more dosh,or just wait years if you want to stay below a certain price.

The problem is we have no idea WHAT the improvements are yet, other than the ray tracing shiny shiny! So we will just have to wait for benchmarks. Who knows... in a few weeks these discussions could take a very different turn...

This is why I said 50% in normal games which would be a biggish increase by modern standards. Even if you take that into account it does not make a GTX1080TI worse value for money or even a GTX1080!!

Wccftech lol, can't we ban anything that comes from that dump?

Wish we could. They have already been caught again pumping loads of fake news recently weren’t they? Yet still people go there and link their articles like as if they have any credibility whatsoever. They are a fake news outlet with zero journalistic integrity. Pumping out click bait fake news mixed in with a few real ones are their ways...
 
Whilst real-time ray tracing is impressive and exciting tech, it is clearly not ready for prime time gaming if Ti owners have to revert to 1080p rather than 4K or 1440p.

The fact that RTX includes DLSS, which offers upscaling and supersampled AA, speaks volumes.
 
Anyone have any other thoughts over the constant negative assumptions based on not a lot.

Price: Ridiculous but I wonder if the size of the chip has played a factor here and it's not just Nvidia trying to fleece people. It does feel like a stop gap release and Nvidia trying to get some money back on the R&D that has gone into it. The whole presentation was setting up the cost with the focus on all the R&D and tech in the chip.

Performance: For all that the presentation was a bit odd, and whatever I think of Nvidia practices, I can't imagine that the expectation will be that we should be playing 1080p games at 30fps with ray-tracing and I am surprised (or not actually) that people are going with this. It would be suicide and for all the 970 memory debacles, Nvidia are the only ones pushing PC graphics forward in anyway. I just can't see it. The Tech Radar article for example seems promising.

Price aside it's nice to see Nvidia trying to do something different. You'd have thought PC gamers in general would be happy even if we have to wait a couple of gens for the top performance and pricing to even out but I guess Nvidia just have that reputation.
