Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

I pre-ordered 2 2080 Tis and I won’t be touching raytracing with a barge pole.
My goal is max settings in 4K at 60+ FPS.
Raytracing might be great, but not good enough to sacrifice 4K and settle for 1080p.

I think the review embargo is there to make the most of this DLSS business and make sure a bunch of titles show a nice big improvement.

good luck with SLI.
i currently have 2x1080ti`s and i wish i didnt as when it works its great, but when most of the time your other card is sleeping its a complete waste... and out of the percentage of games i play SLI does not work....
you might get 4k 60+ with just one card with Ray tracing OFF. then again im waiting for proper reviews first.... and my preference in the future and going forward is one super fast card....

This guy reckons the rtx on\off demo was slightly skewed to make rtx on look better.

Just like they did with PhysX.

Good grief, it'll be nice to see some RTX on footage where the haven't turned every metallic surface into a mirror. Looks bloody awful.

Smoke and mirrors..... Literally this time

It makes no sense to you because you don't get Ray Tracing. Some people have been looking for this technology for years. And been able to play a game at 1080p with Real time Ray Tracing is like a dream for them. There are also people out there who are mad keen to try out this technology and render their own scenes, games whatever using the new hardware available and those people are like kids in a candy shop.

And, why would it drive the company to the ground? This the first generation in a tech that's truly ground breaking. Even if it's just getting developers onboard for the second generation, it had to happen sometime. And look at it this way, those people who love to get onboard early and pay the early adopter tax, they are paving the way for the rest of us. It means when we get on board there will be a plentiful supply of games and all the first generations bugs will be sorted out.

I won't be buying one, because I think the price is ridiculous. But, I am not blind to how big a step forward this is.

Are you trying to say his whole post. Makes. No. Sense?

You've probably gone overboard for 60fps 4K, I'd expect one to manage that (or 144 fps 1440p). A 1080Ti pretty much does already.

Exactly. Some people have no common sense.

No it doesn't. How many times does this have to be said? For the last year people have been complaining 1080ti does not do 4k @ 60fps - even Nvidia acknowledge that. This is why the 2080 is being heralded as the first GPUs to bring true 4k @ 60 fps.

I just want raw speed ray tracing might be good but it just FPS I’m looking ...

Agreed with most, have had SLI 1080Tis and unless nvidia do a whole upgrade of drivers and so do game devs SLI is still utter garbage and a waste of time.

The vast majority of games I was playing saw no benefit or a slight benefit. Some games even saw worse performance.

A single 1080Ti will do 4k 60fps comfortably with high-ultra settings so I suspect a single 2080Ti to manage ultra settings on most games if not all depending on it’s true power. For example BF1 runs for me maximum settings at between 144-165fps on a single 1080Ti at 1440p.

I’m just really trying to save you from disappointment. Plugging in an extra £1200 card and getting next to no performance benefit if not worse performance hurts. a lot!

Plus for me personally I wouldn’t recommend 4k 60hz on a monitor either. Especially with a K+M.

A 1080 ti if they drop might be more appealing to me ....

It does in a lot of games and isn't far off in others:

My point was that a single 2080Ti which should be 20% faster without taking advantage of it's new features will. Ray tracing won't be running at 60fps in many games @4K for another 2 GPU generations or more given Nvidia's current trajectory. AMD might have something better coming, and in 2020 intel will be joining in as well (And I will be very surprised if they aren't doing ray tracing)

You have a link to a tiny sample of games of which many do not achieve 60fps. The 2080Ti is expected to be 40%+ improvement on 1080ti just from Cuda core increase and gddr6 alone - probably much more with dlss support - it will eat 4k alive if it is.

I think this is unlikely otherwise we would have seen benchmarks already

 

[sadbuttrue]

Whether a card can do 4K @ 60fps depends on your definition of that spec. Nvidia naturally use average frame rate, but anyone aiming for a smooth gaming experience will focus on the 99th percentile. Even a 2080ti will struggle in some games. Low fps stutter sucks, gsync enabled or not.

 

[father-ted]

When can we expect to see the first benchmarks for the 20** cards?
I am holding off buying a new card until we know the 'truth'

 

[azazl187]

Ive just seen the strix 2080ti OC priced at 1500 quid.......

That is almost twice what I paid for my 1080ti strix OC..... Is it really twice the card? Even without benchmarks im willing to say no. What is going on with these prices!?!?hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! Will people really pay these ridiculously high prices?
