Aww but if you just downgrade your monitor to 1024*768 you'd easily get 100fps with new fangled ray tracing.
People buying cards at these prices are why cards ARE these prices. People waiting for the next gen (7nm?) could well be paying a couple of grand. A line has definitely been crossed here.
The only way for sanity to return is for this range to flop badly.
Well I'm confident my processor was a smart choice given a couple years. I'll be rocking 720p in no time.All those 720p benchmarks since Ryzen came out, were preparing the consumers for the Nvidia RTX cards...
So we know that you can get a 8700K over a Ryzen to pair it with a RTX2080Ti at 720p for best performance with ray tracing
Updated the poll and made it so the votes are visible.
Where's my option?
Wait for benchmarks ?
I wouldn't bother tbh....the mere fact it's pre order, before NDA is odd...just odd.
No idea if it's been commented upon...but haven't some of the 2080 Tis gone up in price on OCUK even since yesterday? I swear both the MSI cards were a good chunk less![]()
yeah, i posted about this, the MSI trio was £1160 yesterday, today it's £1270
I posted on customer support thread and got a none answer why
it's still £1160 with all other competitors...
just saw price of ROG Strix OC 2080ti £1499.99

Sure that was £1300 yesterday![]()
Supply & demand. Obviously lots of orders coming in and expected availability being low. Buy now folks before they're £2k a pop.
(/Silly speculation).

These prices really make me question the future of PC gaming. It's just going to kill the platform for a lot of consumers.
Next gen consoles are inevitably going to dictate AAA games. Question becomes, do you stick with a platform with ever increasing hardware prices with no end in sight or does one buy all 3 platforms for the price of one high end GPU, get access to every console exclusive, 3rd party titles, plus access to tech like HDR, VRR, Freesync.
Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo must have been rubbing their hands when Nvidia announced these prices yesterday.
It's just diminished returns with PC gaming these days and isn't worth the hassle or expense for a lot of people.
Today I've just spent £1630 on a serious Home Cinema Upgrade...so no ray tracing at 30fps for me...
Some punchy decent Dolby Atmos instead and Sublime Music Quality.
I'm definitely waiting next gen...I have a funny feeling about 2080.... something ain't right about this release
I want to say it's almost definitely because they are hiding something.Assume they watched AMD doing it and decided it was a better way to release.
(for the company releasing them)
