Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

It is an Alpha build and it is a compressed video... but I presume you knew that since it is stated right there in the article, right?

Well considering it mentions alpha in the upper right.....No matter what you're going to get some form of compression otherwise you'd be downloading tens of gigs worth of data. Presumably it might be more noticeable in person but from the vids doing the rounds it's nothing overly noticeable.
 
I just wanted the usual new-range performance boost at xx80 price and power. Instead of that we have to spend 1100 for the performance boost and get features no-one was actually asking for like RT.

New PC games are at console prices at release and it takes time for them to drop. Also, it'll take time for developers to get used to (or ignore) RTX and for NV to work out how much GPU performance to give over to RTX features. Along with the much needed shift to 7nm this sounds like a long time before we get the cards we need.

Ray tracing had to happen eventually, though it comes at an odd time with so much focus being on 4k gaming, 60fps+ at 4k and about 60fps at 1080p in some games that have RT added to them.

It is, but I suppose when everyone is playing solidly at 4k 60fps, people will just be wanting 8k@60fps, or something equally (currently) outlandish. Like you say, it's gotta happen eventually.
 
Still seems OTT with the lighting imo, I don't know if that ray traced lighting or just normal lighting but things look pretty bright at times like the sun on the buildings. Reminds me of oversaturated screens - looks prettier to an extent but you know it's not quite right.

Because you can't adjust that....
 
So have use made up your minds about this card yet? There doesn’t appear to be enough info regarding benchies ....
 
Very few gamers are using a 4K monitor and most with a 1080/1080ti will consider it "good enough" for some time, regardless of the 2080 pricing.

Nvidia had to release these clearly expensive to produce cards with some new must have technology. A few more fps was never going to be enough for the youtube generation of reviewers to get excited over.

step into a new era but unless they release it into the open its likely to be delayed a few years.

So basically, comparing the 2080 to the 1080 Ti, the 2080 is not significantly faster, and indeed slower in some titles.

%s roughly worked out in my head :p

FFV +20%
Hitman -6%
COD WW2 equal
Mass Effect equal
SW: Battlefront 2 -1%
RE7 +8%
F1 2017 equal
Destiny 2 -7%
BF1 +15%
FC5 +35%

Perf is all over the place, frankly. Avg probably something like +15%.

e: 2070 is going to be nowhere near the 1080 Ti.
 
Besides the brightness in the vids does anyone really notice anything else? A fast paced FPS is not the type of game where these effects are going to be overly noticeable. Sure you might spot the odd reflection here or there but overall these effects would be more obvious in a slower paced game, one where you can trot around and look at them, not one where you stand still for a few seconds you're gonna get a rocket inserted up your ass.

Does it? Any of the effects are barely noticeable in the vid unless people go out of their way to find something to look at, plus its hitching all over the place. Granted its still early to an extent but they're looking to have this out on launch day or soon after and this is the current state its in.

Yeah I think I'll be sticking with my no stuttering plain old £540 1080 @3440 x1440, I know its early for the game but even so.
