I want an RTX Addon Card!

I think it would be a good idea for nvidia, to make a addon card that handles RTX seperatly, so we could get support for raytracing on the cards we have atm

If the 2080 are not going to be a massive leap performance wise on the 1080ti, I think i'd rather stick with what I have, and get support for rtx with a simple and affordable rtx addon card, cost would be I dunno £150 ish, I wouldnt want to pay more than £200 for it though

I'm thinking something like the physx cards used to be (maybe it could even handle physx aswell)

slap the card in, and you'd get RTX on your 1080 etc for a lot cheaper than buying a new card (maybe it could even work with amd cards?)

I think it would help get widespread support for rtx a lot quicker, as its going to take a long time for a lot of people to get RTX cards with them costing so much

I love the technology, but I cant see it getting much support very soon, if they don't do something like this

I'd buy for £150-£200 an add on card that could give 2080ti RTX features to a 1080ti. They won't do it though because they want the new series to sell.

I guess it will all depend on the 4k performance of the 2080, If its not much better than the 1080 then I cant see them selling many 2080's and releasing an addon card for RTX would be a much faster way of getting widespread support for RTX

yeh defo would be interested in a RTX addon card, with the performance of the new cards not being much better, cant see nvidia making one though, but it looks like sales of the RTX cards wont be as good as they where expecting

perhaps they could make a cut down gpu, that just mainly handles RTX stuff, youd install it in your machine, then youd select RTX on the addon card in nvidia drivers, much like you do with physx
