Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

Not sure which is better. Enough people buying it to make a success of RTX, or nobody buying it in protest of the price meaning all Nvidia and AMD then decide to make are mid range parts capable of playing console ports.

Since it is Microsoft behind the RT push, and Microsoft who are always looking to increase their console market share, we may well be playing console ports that already have some RT built in. Both AMD and Nvidia worked with Microsoft on DXR, perhaps even Intel were involved.

RTX appears to be Nvidia's Gameworks version of RT with DLSS on top, which for now they will pay developers to support. I find it very odd that such titles that support RTX will not have a DXR fallback path, even though the RT within RTX is built on top of DXR, although D.P. did mention yesterday that one title will support both DXR and RTX.

And so it would be better if games had the option of turning on RT (even on cards without RT hardware) via DXR, and then also had the option of turning on vendor enhanced features (RTX) much like we have today with other tech.
 
I’ve decided that I will very likely be getting an RTX2080Ti.

Just waiting for benchmarks. Still doubt I’ll be pre-ordering though. I’ll probably just wait for stock and shop around when they finally get released.

I’m also waiting for reviews so I can decide on the card I want. Rather than be stuck to a card that may or may not be as quiet, cool, fast as another vendors.
 
What freebies do you get with the new cards, once it was a couple of games, now they must be offering a monitor giving the rip off prices.
 
I just realised something that I probably should have realised when these were first announced :rolleyes:

Are some of the features reliant upon Nvidia's cloud/datacentre/whatever? Like DLSS for example?

What happens to these features when Nvidia release their follow-up generations, do they just switch it off for the 20x0 series cards, leaving owners with little choice but to upgrade?

Same goes for RT going forward. We already heard from Dice in relation to Battlefield V that Ray Tracing won't work on AMD cards or older generation GTX cards (even though it could by using Microsoft's API) because Nvidia don't want that.

So what's to stop them disabling RT on these cards once the 30x0 series appears? Not saying they will but what if? Nothing to stop them if it's baked into the games for RTX only.

Sticking with 1080Ti here (got a Strix earlier), gonna try and wait for 7nm cards.

Makes sense I guess. I believe it's mostly people with 1080's/Vega 64's who like to have the newest and best GPU's upgrading to these new cards. Then they will sell their RTX in 2020 to upgrade yet again to 7nm.

I keep swinging from 1080ti to RTX 2080 on the hope the RTX 2080 will be >= 1080ti. I think I have ordered and then cancelled the Giga Aorus 1080ti deal about 8 times now. Trying to have options available for when we get the official 2080 benchmarks.

i am in exactly the same boat, i keep hovering over the msi £599 one.... but IF the 2080 does turn out to be good i will definitely get buyers remorse for the sake of £115!

i know what the sensible decision is..... wait for black friday. but i have a proper urge for something shiny!.
