Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[EastCoastHandle]

Sorry. Checked it in preview and it looked ok, maybe cos I was logged into their forum where it was an attachment. Anyhow...

LOL
For those wondering it's competitizone

 

[harney]

this one i could not resist

 

[trawetSluaP]

Should've done it the other way haha

I worry about the whole "the drivers aren't ready yet" or "the games need optimizations" thing. This shouldn't be a rushed launch, its been over 2 years and they're under no pressure to release anything. It strikes me as weird that they wouldn't have crossed the Ts and dotted the Is before now.

That being said we don't know what's been going on behind the scenes, it may be that Volta just didn't like up to expectations so now they are super rushing to get something out in fear of slump in the market.

I don't know, this whole thing just feels unpolished.

"crossed the Ts and dotted the Is" see what he did there?

Voted best comment on the whole thread!

 

[roysters]

HAHAHA thats this is getting more and more entertaining

Well said, drivers are polished. That's just an excuse. And like you said there was no rush to release if they weren't ready. The fact is they are ready and that's what you are going to get bottom line. Sure, drivers will mature. No one is doubting that but to ignore facts presented to you in hopes that "it ain't true" is being disingenuous to yourself and to those who are just visiting the forum trying to figure out what's going on.

This is a prime example of Res Ipsa Loquitur means the thing speaks for itself.

Watch towards the end they make very good points.

 

[kevman]

Makes them look good when they release drivers a month after launch which bumps fps up by 25%.

And nerfs existing cards by 25%

Now look at an early preview of the game on the XBox One X:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-LTaT6qGUg

So a system with an Atom class CPU,and an RX580 class GPU,and it can run the game at a locked 60FPS at 1080p or 30FPS at 4K,whilst looking fairly decent.

 

[hedgey]

after the [crap which no-one gives a crap about] is turned off, the 20 series is only 15% faster?! wow.

everything about this is screaming wait for 2019 and 7nm. 2180/2180ti.

Actually is something between RX470 and RX480

 

[harney]

i never thought i would say this ..but at this moment consoles are looking such a better buy over pc's .. shame really

Actually is something between RX470 and RX480

In terms of TFLOPs its close to the RX580:

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2977/xbox-one-x-gpu
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2938/radeon-rx-580

However,it also has significantly more potential bandwidth to play with and also supports certain features from Vega too.

But either way if someone can't get 60FPS in this game with a GTX1080 with a recent Core i7,etc on decent settings something weird is going on IMHO.

 

[Unrivaledx21]

My head is spinning here. Will these tensor cores have an added benefit to performance with ray tracing off?

The Vega/AMD optimisations from Xbone and PS4 (like hardware async compute) wont go down to PC unfortunately. As the title is fully supporting Gameworks on PC.
Everything has to be stripped, and Nvidia optimisations applied, including Ray Tracing.

It will run like a dog on AMD cards, but not due to fault of AMD but Nvidia

Let not forget the first Tomb Raider few years back. They took the Xbox 360 codebase, instead of the Xbone codebase strapping gameworks while getting the Nvidia money to do so.
It took them 6 months and a series of patches to make the game work on Ryzen CPUs.

Yet they were benchmark videos showing RX480 working wonders with the Ryzen CPU on this game, compared to Nvidia 1080 which performance on Ryzen tanked.
FYI Intel CPU was compared also....

 

[Simon Belmont]

Any news on the 2080 or 2080Ti performance?

I think he mentioned something about antialiasing?

 

[dreigns]

Yes DLSS I think it was called

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Yup. Deep learning super sampling.

 

[TNA]

I think this is the 1st time i have seen anything other than lavish praise heaped onto CD Projekt Red!

That’s how LampChop roles. Won’t see him making positive comments often
