Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

[Unrivaledx21]

I think he mentioned something about antialiasing?

Yup. Deep learning super sampling.

Yes DLSS I think it was called

Any idea what this will do for us?

Nvidia stock price has gone from $252 to nearly $260 today, been climbing all week so far

Traders getting info on pre-order sales?

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

TBF he is alluding to the fact that pre-release demos did look better,but what we got was still pretty looking but not the next Crysis many had expected.

There was much complaining at time IIRC!!

Unknown really. They showed that the Infiltrator demo ran at 78FPS on the 2080 Ti at 4K, using DLSS. Can't remember the exact figure for the 1080Ti using TAA, but it was significantly lower. How much is down to the sampling type, and how much is down to the raw power of the GPU? No idea!

I think it uses 'deep learning' to approximate AA without requiring your GPU to actually calculate it fully.

 

[Unrivaledx21]

Thanks for that info guys. If this is something to expect in more than a handful of games then the technical specs are less, but would outperform in FPS to last gen I would think? I am just really hoping that it all pans out better than it currently appears!

Ignore this every-one it's good news bound to be made up!

I think people are ignoring it because it's so different from what the other websites are saying. If was really putting out 50-57 fps smoothly at 4K, the developers wouldn't have been complaining about poor performance.

 

[Gregster]

Ouch!! @Gregster there you go buddy, 4k 30FPS like you say you dont mind on a Tomb Raider game, except you can save yourself £650 and just buy the Xbone X and Game, job done

Nah, I will stick with the 2080Ti. I understand that it was a very raw implementation of RT and neither Eidos or NVidia had much time to play with it, so I understand the early performance hit but give it time and performance will be better.

 

[melmac]

No it isn't the logical conclusion - it is just crap. Many of the media present at the Tomb Radar demo made it very clear that they were told this was an unpolished, very early build - but most people in this thread who have one goal (to fuel negativity) completely failed to include that part in their comments. Now the devs have responded formally stating what most of the people present already stated - so there is no more confusion.

That would be great, but, the playable demos of Battlefield V weren't able to run at 60fps either at 1080p. Some of us aren't just "fueling negativity" We are trying to be critical of something that's jumped in price by 100's of dollars.

And I find it hard to believe that developers are going to make that big a difference in less than month. I am also very sceptical of developers and what they say they will do. Especially after Dx12, there were loads of developers saying they were right behind Dx12 at the conference Microsoft and Nvidia had back in 2014.

I do believe Ray Tracing is coming, but, it's going to be slow. The next generation of cards will be out before there are a meaningful number of games out.

It uses a neural network to do the AA filtering. I guess potentially all the AA work is offloaded onto the tensor cores.

Probably all the miners pre-ordering for their farms.

£1000+ for the RTX2080 probably.

A lot of people keep mentioning consoles, but what fun is there in that? One of the fun things about graphics cards is getting new cards and benching it vs your previous card and tinkering about etc. For me anyway. It is always fun when I get an upgrade.

With prices going up, one can just either stay one gen behind or go from say 1070 to 2070. As usual horses for courses. But this works for me. Even though I did want new tech, I have decided to got with a 1080Ti as an upgrade as I want the extra ram for 4K which the 2070 will not provide. Also it will be a bit cheaper going this route and should do the job for me until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out

I may get PS5 anyway when it comes out just for the exclusives and I feel it will go down well with an OLED which I will get around the same time

 

[jwilliamson47]

I wonder what the PS5 would cost on launch.

 

[CREATIVE!11]

This thread is great.

I love it. Every GPU release OCUK delivers on the laughs and the memes. Clown card 1080, I was there during that great war....

I don't have the time anymore tbh. I had a watercooled Opteron 165, gtx 7800 in sli with artic coolers back when there was genuine competition. Now when I get an hour's gaming, I just want to press start.

 

[Boomstick777]

Shaping up to be the worst GPU launch in history.

Still no performance numbers from Nvidia.

Most expensive cards ever, yeah awful so far.

Yeah. Houses for courses as I said, in your position I would probably just get a console also. But the point of my post was for those who time is not the issue, but price.
