NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I'm a VR consumer with an HP Reverb...we could use some more non-RT performance. I will actually be surprised if even the next-gen ti can max out Project Cars 2 on the Reverb @90fps.

And while the Reverb's resolution is the next-gen jump from the CV1 I was looking for, 4k on my face still only looks like a good 1080p monitor looks at propper viewing distance.

There's still a little more to be gained from higher resolution in VR.
 
I couldn’t give a monkeys what features it has, if it can do ray tracing or make me a sandwich.

For me it’s very simple you either give me what I want for the price I want or I won’t buy it.

I like my pc and want to continue playing and tinkering with it but I will not pay over inflated prices end of. I have bigger priorities in my life than just gaming, at the end of the day I’ll just buy a PS5 if they can’t give me what I want.

What makes you think that RT cost $500? There was a price/performance increase in this generation as well as AI related features, better performance at higher resolutions etc. RT wasn't the only change.

Price/performance increase you say?

This is what Nvidia offered us at launch:

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwrevie...ders-edition-review-benchmarks-vs-gtx-1080-ti
"The RTX 2080 is poor value today. NVidia's own GTX 1080 Ti offers superior value at $150 less, in some cases, or $100 less on average. The cards perform equivalently, and yet the 1080 Ti is cheaper and still readily available (and with better models, too)."

Pascal came out of the gate with meaningful preformance increases at the various price points.

Sure, but even they say it does beat the 1080ti at the same launch price, and it does offer better performance at higher resolutions, better tensor core performance and RTX.

I'm not saying you have to think it's amazing value for what it offered, but it has offered extra features, some performance increase (particularly at higher resolutions) at the same launch price. Whether you find it meaningful or not is really pretty irrelevant.

Launch price is irrelevant if there's something right next to it here and now that offers the same performance for less. There was literally no point in RTX at the time and tensor cores were being used for nothing at launch.

Even at 4k the performance was only very slighly better.

It has but it's not worth the extra £600 over a 1080Ti or a 2080 in my opinion now. If it was £750 or so I would have strongly considered one but the price is just way too high

In that I completely agree. Sods law that as I moved to 4K gaming the price of the new Ti went through the bloody roof.
 
The problem I have is I’m upgrading from a 980ti. Many gpu’s will offer better performance including all the new gen stuff. Which is great.

The problem comes from determining what represents value for money. I’m loathed to move to a 60 series as in my mind even though it will likely perform better than what I have it still will be expensive for what it is, in relation to the rest of the range. 3070 will possibly be nearer £500 and that is just crazy money.

I’m apprehensive. If they continue current Gpu price trends I may well just bow out until normality resumes. Hope not but I have to draw a line, I can’t pay ps5 prices for a gpu and I’m not sure if their will be much value in the second hand market.
