NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I play sat back on the couch, still I only use 1440p.

To me sat back from the screen there doesn't seem to be much difference between 4k and 1440p apart from the framerate.

even when I get a new 3070 or whatever I will still be playing 1440.

I can tell a difference 1440/4k. was really obvious in rdr2.

I'm talking about the general gaming line of 08/07/06/ti cards. For me the only question is the speed (although actually now I come to think about it manufacturer and cooler is also a small factor). That's just me though and for others it will be different.



No. Not talking about 3k Titans and never was.

If the only question is the speed...the Titan is the fastest.

Can you point out the part where it was stated what you are suggesting for the bit I have highlighted? What matters to someone is for that individual. Some people go price/performance for example.

Okay...

As is often the case in new graphic card threads, you seem to have completely overlooked the point that people are aware of all of the known moral and financial issues when buying an Nvidia card but want the fastest card and they can just afford it. Then you have the weird sentiment that is "you are a mug for buying at x price, please don't so the price comes down and then I can buy it" attitude thinking that someone's purchasing decision of luxury goods is based on someone else not being able to afford it.

And then you have some who assume people that don't buy something can't afford it.

If the only question is "Is it faster?" I would expect people to buy a lot more Titains.

People who say they want the fastest GPU generally tend to ignore the Titans because they really are in a completely different price bracket to everything else and whilst they can afford a Ti, they cannot afford a Titan.

But how does that translate to what you said, which was "Some people have suggested that's all that matters and the inability to fork out the money is the only barrier to why someone wouldn't get "The Best". This suggests that my point was that if you can afford it, why wouldn't you buy the fastest.

What I actually said was that there are some people, and this has been the same for a couple of GPU releases now, that call other people silly names because they decide to spend their money how they want. Suggesting that if the mugs didn't buy the GPU's at inflated prices we could all afford them (which would never ever happen). Hence me saying that "you are a mug for buying at x price, please don't so the price comes down and then I can buy it" attitude thinking that someone's purchasing decision of luxury goods is based on someone else not being able to afford it." Which is nothing close to what you seem to think I said. You have picked out 6 words out of context.

I think what's happened here is that you thought I was having a pop at people who can't afford them and then have gone off on a tangent. I'm sure there were many who could afford 2080ti's who didn't get them for whatever reason. That's their choice.

Thanks to Turing the Ti part now occupies the Titan space with the Titan edging ever closer to the datacentre parts.

Id have to agree. It’s unlikely. Unless Ubisoft finally optimise their games.

2080Ti should still manage 4k 60 with a mix of Higher end settings however.

Remains to be seen, but at the same settings, for a game that is not truly optimized for next gen consoles, if on a 2080ti does 35-40fps while on the console it does 30, that extra performance from a GPU probably double in price, is probably meaningless.

Game developers can cripple any GPU. Remember Crysis? The test is not 'ultra' - or whatever - settings but visuals that are good enough. Is the game playable with good enough settings?

Or they could just use that power in a meaningful way and current GPUs are just not really enough.

RDR2 is the same. Some of the fps gains you get from dropping settings that barely make a difference is ridiculous.

While true, even at low settings, you'd probably need a 2080ti for a 4k@60 locked. At that point there are no more settings to drop other than resolution.
Sure, you can turn setting up if you don't mind going into 50s or 40s.

Yeah. But still, it is not the best. Titan is the best :)

@scubes comes to mind :p

Unlikely. Even on rdr2 which is probably the most demanding game to date runs at a mix of medium, high and ultra to achieve 60fps 4k locked on a 2080Ti. Most of those settings not making much difference to visual quality over maxed.

There aren’t many games the Ti can’t play at 4k 60hz locked high/ultra settings.

You did not mention that in the post I responded to.

I too, am sure there are many that fall into the category of can afford a 2080Ti yet will not buy a 2080 Ti at the price point Nvidia is asking. I would spend $1500 dollars on a GPU *if* it were a LOT faster than my 1080Ti today.

The longer manufacturers have to innovate and advance technology, the more performance I expect at a given price point. I'm fine with a big leap in price *if* a manufacturer manages to make a commensurate leap in performance.

Nah, it’s Thursday unless Nvidia get their own dates wrong: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/...-keynote-with-ceo-jensen-huang-set-for-may-14
