What does that have to do with games that support RT and its adoption rate?

NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards
- Thread starter LoadsaMoney
- Start date
In 24 months I will be on a 4080 or a 7080XT though, so not a big deal
Indeed. But I am not sure about playing into their hand part. I will be selling this before the next gen cards launch and with people willing to pay near full price on members market for second hand cards I recon I will get £500 at least for it unless there is a mid cycle refresh that improves price for performance.
Take a look at my graphics upgrade history in my sig, actually let me past it here:
RIVA TNT
GeForce4 MX440
Radeon 9700 Pro
GeForce 7900 GT
GeForce 8800 GTS
Radeon 4870
Radeon 5770
Radeon 5850
Radeon 6970
Radeon 7870
Radeon 7950
GeForce 670
Radeon 7970
Radeon 290
Radeon 295x2
GeForce 1070
GeForce 1080
Radeon R9 Nano
Radeon RX Vega Liquid
GeForce 1050
GeForce 980Ti
Nvidia Titan XP
Radeon RX 580
GeForce 970
Radeon RX Vega 56
Radeon RX Vega 64
GeForce 3080
Was I playing into AMD's hand going from 7870 to 7950 to 7970? Or maybe I just like new graphics cards and upgrade every gen? Hmm...
Just pointing out that PC gaming is very healthy.

I never said it was sick, but it ain't leading AAA game development.
While Nvidia may have introduced RT with the 2000 series, the consoles will be the ones to make it mainstream amongst gamers.
Haha. Yeah, I just upgrade whenever I fancy. None of this playing into their hands business.

Which will require a £1000 deposit, a contract signed in the buyer's blood, and hostages.
LMFAO. I think even I will be browsing upgrade paths by then, ffs - lets get through 2020 first then 2021.

Interesting list, you seem to do a lot of pointless side grade purchases lol
My list is much simpler
GeForce 6600gt
Radeon 5870
Radeon 290x
GeForce GTX 1080ti
GeForce RTX 2080ti
GeForce RTX 3090

Could not have said it better myself. Only Gregster may have said it better I recon
Bit on the expensive side, but at least you got something, many still waiting on their pre-orders.
My 3080 FE cost me £649, but ended up sub £600 after selling the codes that came with it and the usual cashback I get on my credit card on all purchases.
No emoji to do this justice!

Your side grades seem wasteful.. my list is simpler:

Maybe by 2024 I'll have bought a game that actually justifies buying this 3080. I went to test it when it arrived and my newest game in MW2019.
Lol. I knew I have had a lot more nvidia cards than you so you can stop insinuating I am some silly fanboy in the future nowInteresting list, you seem to do a lot of pointless side grade purchases lol

I have more than one machine in my house, also if I can sell and add a few quid on top for a cheap upgrade I do so. As I say, I enjoy GPU’s so always fun trying out different hardware. Like as an example I had a GTX 670 for a while, that was purely for Microsoft Flight Simulator which worked much better on Nvidia hardware.

CP2077 shows a 60% performance boost with DLSS enabled https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/ka3z2k/cyberpunk_2077_nvidia_dlss_up_to_60_performance/
Anyone who says DLSS is not going to be a major feature of this generation is simply talking absolute ****, so please be sure to point that out to anyone who says it. It's going to be the difference between playable and not playable in many games at higher resolutions.

When your 3080 landing @Richdog ?

My whole class and lectures were talking about DLSS the other day for almost an hour at University a couple of weeks back. The younger lot didn't get it, but the lectures know what's what. I'm definitely warming to it and if I get wind of a pesky 6090 FE on Thier site. I'm a buy it! It's a great piece of software in my eyes. It makes me want to not bother with my CCNA and just go fully software development for my hons lol.
I can do both. If I'm brave enough.
I would go software dev if you want long-term job opportunities and lots of cash. Software development will only ever get bigger. Learn Javascript, Scala and Python to start with and adapt if markets and key standards change and you will likely never be out of well-paid work. I'm serious.
CCNA is imo going to decline in value as Cisco are no longer the powerhouse they once were and the future of networking lies with cloud behemoths like MS Azure and AWS etc who will host a lot of the worlds infrastructure and data over the coming decade.

I really appreciate your input, thank you.
I'm doing C and SQL right now. Almost finished it as both assignments are due in about a month and I then move on to Cpp and Java, I do really shine in networking and I was originally going to do networking for my 2nd and 3rd year but now I'm really liking software development, especially as working remotely is easier to do programming.
I think I got a free Azure account with my degree, I've not really been on it much. I think I got free credit to use too. Thanks MS. I spend most of my time on GitHub and stack overflow these days if I'm honest as CCNA seems to click quicker for me. Maybe because back in the quake days I was always playing with networking to get the LAN parties sorted. Those were the days I miss the late 90s and early 00s for that haha.
