RTX not available at launch, will come sometime in October, when Microsoft patch it into DX.

So, every single launch, I see people complaining about the price (happened with Vega happened with the 10xx cards and so on and so on). But genuinely this feels different. There are SCORES more people saying it, and genuinely seeming committed to it.

Do you think Nvidia will struggle to shift the volume they were hoping? First round of price drops soon after launch?

Newegg USA completely sold out, Nvidia USA and UK sold out, share price at all time high today and been climbing all week....Yeah, Nvidia are really struggling...

*actually Their share price was higher in June.
"SOLD OUT" means absolutely nothing because we have no idea what the stock levels were. Potentially a handful of cards. To test the water.
And I didn't suggest Nvidia were struggling. AND their share price is not determined entirely by gamers. They have huge AI interests and other projects.

Many of those orders will be from corporate customers who will be using the cards for things other than gaming.

I'm willing to bet the pool of private people pre-ordering just for gaming is getting smaller and smaller every time they jack up the prices.

Proper 21-9 for movies as well. No top and bottom black bars.

Is that with DVD and local files, or do you have a way of displaying Netflix, Amazon etc.. like that?

What are you on about? My last post before that was a video reviewing raytracing, because I think RT looks good.
I simply said this launch feels different in the amount of people saying they won't buy at that price. I'm wondering if they will drop the price.
Hardly "overly negative" is it. Just discussion.

Ray tracing does look good, and it has done for a decade. It just hasn't been viable in real time and has been out of reach of gamers. Judging by the leaked FPS figures with ray tracing enabled and the prices of the new cards, that hasn't changed lol. Maybe a good first step though; it'll be interesting to see where ray tracing is in 3 years.

Some of the stuff with RTX on didn't seem that much better. Particularly the Shadow of the tomb raider stuff.

in graphics settings probably switched off.

It's guessing its because the graphic settings are at the lowest quality to allow playable frame rates when you turn on Ray Tracing. It will probably improve before launch.

Don't blow a gasket. Most people would agree that 4K at 27" is not all that noticeable. Perhaps a better way of saying it is it's not fully realised. Far better at 34-40". Throwing performance away to look through a letterbox.

Lol. Just having a friendly chat mate, no gaskets being blown here

32" 2160P = 137.68 PPI
27" 2160P = 163.18 PPI

That is close to 20% increase in density.

With monitors it is more subjective and down to personal tastes. I am not concerned with what most people say. Higher PPI is better, it is not throwing performance away as far as I am concerned

beany_bot · 24 Aug 2018 at 15:58

I think 32" 4K is the sweet spot for a monitor.

Is that similar PPI as a 24" @ 1440p? As that is what I have at the moment. I think it works for me in terms of windows. Although in gaming likely could do with larger.

Enlisted running on Vulkan with RTX global illumination

The way the lighting is done looks good, but it looks like everything is dialled up to 11 on intensity.

LoadsaMoney · 24 Aug 2018 at 16:05

so everyones wrong about it being Gimpworks, and proprietary, as its going to be for everyone, if its part of the DX spec, so when Intel come in, they'll be able to use it too.

Don't know about netflix or amazon, but any dvd files or anything I play on my plex server displays in 21-9 on my ultra-wide

To be honest I think the pricing and responses around that has clouded peoples judgement.
As predicted the sentiment seems to be changing somewhat now too, already.

LoadsaMoney · 24 Aug 2018 at 16:17

Ive seen its part of Vulkan too, so not Win 10, Dx12 only either.
