Nvidia rumour to be launching new GTX 11 series without ray tracing

But don't worry their are a few law suits being brought against NVIDIA so it will all be alright.


DISCLAIMER: This post is sarcastic and not to be taken seriously.

Interesting that the average price of an Nvidia graphics card is only $200 and it does make sense to offer cards to a market which will not pay anywhere near the prices of an RTX card.

I have to say though, there is going to be precious little incentive for games designers to include ray tracing in their games just to satisfy such a tiny market segment.
 
Making lower end SKU will go some way to please shareholders, however, it won't go too far in pleasing most of those complaining in here. A lot of the enthusiast mentality when it comes to berating prices can't be distilled by simply offering lower end products. This is born from the desire of wanting the best a vendor has to offer but not wanting to pay for it. Entitlement, essentially. That group aside, the introduction of a more affordable range of cards is a good move and will please a lot of gamers.

As can be seen from this backlash, the market will always end up adjusting itself. Investors are the ones holding the pitchforks.

But then if the performance is good enough on these cheaper cards people won't buy the RTX cards. Because most people don't care about gimmicks not even supported in 99% of games.
 
If indeed the 1160 is going to be around 1070Ti level (same as 2060 rasterisation perf) then that's going to be good for a very good proportion of gamers/nVidia users. Hopefully Navi kicks some green ass at its price points :)

But I can't see this range being anything of merit, it's filling out the entry-level stack with tat that just can't have its half-assed RT silicon chopped down any further. If a GTX 1160 is identical to RTX 2060 in raster performance then that just gives us a GTX 1070 with a different name. At the right price that could be good for the 1080p crowd, but it's not like this 1100 series is actually saying "here's Turing with the RT for those who don't want it".

Ok it's the Daily Fail, but the article has a point, because Apple has seen $333 Billion - an amazing number knocked off its share value, and it's a similar story to NVidia, in that the company thought the could increase the cost of their product indefinitely and that at 4 figures for a phone, more than a high spec laptop costs, customers would still be beating a path to their doors to buy it. That philiosophy came to a grinding halt this year when buyers simply said no to a phone which would be obsolete in a year and then on sale for half the original asking price.

NVidia and the Apple campus are within spitting distance, I expect people in this business are pretty chummy and talk to each other. It will be interesting to see how Apple deals with this because there's a good chance NVidia will copy them.

I recently bought a 8750H 6/12 thread i7 Dell laptop with a GTX 1060 6GB with 16GB DDR4 and a 1080ti for the price of a RTX 2080ti :p

My phone is an iphone 6

New battery service from apple due to them slowing phones down and Latest IOS, its like a new phone....Phones dont make me moist....Its fine for what I do..stream Spotify in my car etc...

I mean...why? Better things to drop that sort of money on....Like a new PC or laptop or guitar...a phone? Na....

The point is though that phones will last a year or maybe two, just like GPUs, and the number of people prepared to drop 4 figures on tech like that is falling, not just phones but GPUs as well, although there are always some financially gifted individuals who don't see it as an issue.

2080ti GPU ….;)

Seeing you have a 9900k CPU am surprised you still have an old GTX 1080ti

You know a RTX 2080ti will go lovely with that CPU :D

It will run around 35% faster and cost me the cost of what it took to build the entire PC. The 1080ti does fantastic at 3440 x 1440p I'm not needing RT or the extra few FPS in games....I'm skipping 2080 GEN cause its overpriced tat.

I'm not insecure enough to need the latest phone or GFX card to keep up with the jones's...:p

The 9900k was a massive upgrade...a 2080ti over a 1080ti....not worth it.
