RTX NO!!!

If the future of path tracing is using 20 to 30 year old looking games I can wait a few years more. Lack of realistic lighting and shadows is the least of these games graphics problems. Sticking lipstick on a pig....still makes it a pig.
 
Just stuck my new 2080ti in for testing before putting waterblock on it
This sure as hell won't be on my benchmark list
At a total loss what people see in Minecraft to be honest

Did you ever play with LEGO or Meccano? Ever tinkered with woodwork or built pretty much anything ever, if not then I can understand why you don't understand Minecraft. Of course if you have then your just being blinkered. there is a reason why it is one of the most popular games of all time.:)

My GPU is just not powerful enough to run the amount of antialiasing to make it look smooth.

Minecraft is literally LEGO for Millienials
 
Still can't understand why people spent £1,200 on a GPU. Never will.

Won't buy a new GPU until a sensible uplift in performance is sub-£500. Until then I'm happy buying my cards and blocks second hand.

I'm actually still quite hyped for Ray Tracing, when it's an open standard and it's properly and widely implemented. It's a cool technology; just one or two generations behind for prime time.

The main reason for technologies like this is to make discrete cards viable long term. SoCs are becoming obscenely powerful.

opportunity cost is everything, for some people spending 500 on a gpu is mind boggling - heck I have friends who hesitate to spend 350 on a console because to them it's overpriced and they won't ever have a gaming pc due to cost

I bought my 1080 for £300, and as overclocked as it is, it performs excellently.

I just checked the 2080ti on OCUK, 500% the price I paid, for 170% the performance? And ray tracing for less than ten games.

Just realised the 2080ti is like 19 months old now too, crazy.

I see what you're saying here, but these cards were entirely outside the bounds of the established pricing system of the time, and the sales showed.
 
What was the point of this thread exactly? Just another dig at the 2080ti and those that bought one? Never played Minecraft so no opinion on it but I'm sure some people who own RTX cards do and they might enjoy the effects. They aren't being charged for the update so what's the issue.

Paying £1000-1500 for a card is all relative. If you have it then why not spend it? If you don't or would rather spend it on something else then fill your boots. I bought one for 1k, fitted a WB and it rips. More than happy with the purchase thanks.

I expect to buy the 3080ti when it comes out as well.

Quake II with RTX runs like a dream mind. ;)
 
Just realised I could redeem the windows 10 minecraft RTX, it's a bit mediocre nothing like the RTX demos I've seen, at one point I checked the settings to find out if it was turned off.
