NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

and because the 6900xt from AMD is launching at the same time and it has to compete on price. Nvidia can only charge that price again if the 3080ti dominates the 6900xt but if they even remotely close then it will have to compete on price

Is this what we're calling the next gen AMD card now? Even though we have no idea if or when such a thing might emerge?
 
To the layman I agree, they won't know the difference between DLSS and non-DLSS, nor that it's not every game that has this feature, and there it's not a proper indication of future performance in other games. Though to be fair to Nvidia DLSS 2.0 looks good and it's a smart move by them. I just hope that reviewers will cover the whole picture and show a fair comparison.

To me it looks good enough (in Control) to pass as native resolution, fingers crossed they'll make it work in Surround setups as well.

Even in non RT games, for instance RDR2, to have DLSS (so you have basically 1440p or lower) will most likely allow for greater settings, meaning most likely higher image quality than native 4k on AMD.
It's a very sneaky "under the belt" thing from nVIDIA. :)
 
I think the trick for DLSS is can it deliver where it matters? by example I don't need DLSS to play say XCOM2 or some indie title that I've never heard of but I do want raytracing 4k for Star Citizen, Cyberpunk and Arma4

Let’s hope so. From what I have seen and read they made a huge leap from DLSS 1.0 to 2.0 and if they manage to improve further yet then it will be a must have feature. I would love playing on my 4K monitor and getting 1440p FPS :)
 
Yeah it could be a gamechanger, especially for those who stick to low-mid range cards as the prices on those are a bit silly for the performance you get.
Agree

Looks like the RTX 2070 super is getting very close to what the 1080 ti prices where
There higher then what the 1080 prices was.

Costs Over £500 now for just a Mid Range GPU :(

Basically 2.0 is what it should have launched with, 1.0 was borderline trash!!
Yep. Same with the RT performance. That’s why I skipped the 2000 series.

Indeed.


I am not getting too excited by Ampere, yes it will be a step forward but not a huge leap like some people are hoping.
We’ll see, but I think you will be wrong on this occasion. We will get much better RT performance at the very least. Also at the very least we will get a 40% bump from 2080Ti to 3080Ti imo.
 
I dont think anyone is tbh, I've certainly only read comments in line with general generation performance increases bar the 2000 series.

Honestly, when I read comments comparing the expected performance of the (so far fictional) AMD 6900XT with the (so far also fictional) 3080 Ti, based on (estimated) mad gains in nvidia perfomance and AMD having solved all their (presumed) scaling issues and implemented competitive hardware RT (which they haven't revealed much of anything about yet), and making guesses about the prices based on how nvidia has to release by September with a price drop a couple of months later to beat AMD to market (on ranges of cards neither one of them has even announced yet), it feels a lot like building castles in the sky...

I'm not here to stop you, hell, it's not my forum! It all just seems a bit of a stretch to make predictions about.
