Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread
- Thread starter Tommy_Here
- Start date
I turned it off halfway through, I'm not sure if Steve was pretending to not understand what he was reading so he could mock it or if he's just a little too young to get it but it annoyed me lol.Sorry if this has been posted, just couldn't resist, I laughed so hard at this video
They all do, the whole reason we like the YouTubers operating out of their bedroom is because they are honest/raw and different to a "mainstream" tech media source, when they become successful and move out of their bedroom into a studio to turn it into a business and have to deal with sponsors/etc and actually interact with the tech companies they are reviewing and offering opinions on they have to change/adapt and so they themselves become a "mainstream" tech media source.
It happened to Linus, it happened to Jay and it's currently happening to Gamers Nexus.

Tbh i don't think Steve said anything out of turn. It was funny but factual imo as to the idiocy of the Toms article.
They do turn more into entertainers when they get big but as long as at the core they keep giving facts i am ok with it. Linus on the other hand does my head in a bit as he's to over the top childish. He's almost like watching a kids tv channel now and then. I would trust Steve over Toms any day and it's not hard to see why. One is telling you to go out there and buy the cards now without any facts which is what Nvidia would want. The other is telling you to use your common sense and wait to see the performance first. Gamers Nexus might be getting big but they are not afraid to tell the truth and not get cards from either vendor. If that changes then i will change my mind about them.
From that video it looks like most the RTX 2080 extra performance is really only because they increased the memory bandwidth over a 1080...

The maths are there. Have a look here. the GTX1080Ti has same performance on same games (if not better) than the RTX2080 numbers...
Yet Nvidia says that no Pascal card can achieve 4K 60hz

So the 2080ti is probably 15-20% faster max than the 1080ti?

Suprised it's not bundled with BFV it would bolster the sales numbers for EA and make it a more attractive purchase. Even the new Tomb Raider or will the bundled code promos come later in the year?
They can sometimes add those later as promo codes for whoever bought the card.
Apparently is seems so. Possibly the reason NV focuses on the 6 times faster on ray tracing, and not just 20% faster on normal gaming

Why would they want to further depress sales by adding the SJW BFV?
A lot of people don't even understand what it is, or why they need/want it. That's why Jensen was so effusive and dedicated the entire presentation to its wonders. Only this was at the expense of mentioning what people DO actually care about! It was all smoke and mirrors and misdirection... look at THIS, not THAT! But hey, it worked for the most part if all the 'sold out' claims are actually true and not just a clever marketing ploy. The internet certainly has much collective anger right now, but if anyone thinks these GPUs aren't going to sell like hot cakes then they are flat out wrong.

But "sold out" is really a ambiguous term. For all we know there could have in between 50-1000 units sold. And many are posting that the availbility dates have changed. Some push back as far as nov. 2018. That's roughly 2 months post release date.
So, some who pre-order may in fact wait longer then just buying through normal channels.

What they have said in that regard is ambiguous. If they mean no Pascal card can play all games at max settings at a rock solid 60fps at 4k at all times, then that statement is true.

I hadn't thought about selling on at a profit, but if I decide the performance is not what I want then that would be the way I'd go. I have thought the other two things.
I do wonder what the extra CUDA cores and the tensor cores can do for mining.
No settings were mentioned mate.

Where did I say they had mentioned settings? I know they haven't mentioned settings. I said if that is what they meant. I said their statements in this regard are ambiguous - their true meaning is not clear and is open to speculative interpretation.
Nothing in my post was inaccurate.
240Hz thank you very much.
