I caved and got the TI, The leap from a 980ti to that should be massive considering my 980ti is bottle necking performance for me on most games, and ive been holding onto my tax refund for the entire year for the card to come out. Rip in piss my wallet, youll surely be missed when im eating 3$ meals for a month or two to get the cash back.
I'm planning on buying a new gaming PC that's top of the line, but I'll wait and see what the benchmarks are like. I want to get the 2080 Ti but it will need to bring a justification for its lofty price tag. Who knows, maybe the purchase will be totally worth it in the end.
As much as I desperately need an upgrade, (GTX 960), I think I'll wait until either the 10xx series becomes cheaper or third party versions of this RTX gen are made. I don't really trust buying the first revision of a GPU especially when it's 500+ on the line, as much as my impulsive self wants to get one right now, I think I can wait a few months more. Are many games using this ray-tracing tech yet? I heard something about BF5 possibly using it, but I'm more interested in it for real-time rendering in 3D software like Blender, if games use it that's more of a side bonus.
where's the 2050 for us budget boys
They showed unreal is already using ray tracing. They pointed out one of the major bonuses with RT in game development, it allows them to put lighting into the game real time without having to spend hours or days rendering to see if the lighting looks good.
Hey I wonder what the Australian prices will b- https://edge.alluremedia.com.au/m/k/2018/08/2018-08-21_042102.jpg OOFT
I'm just afraid how expensive even the 2070 is, considering the prices here double, despite having really low monthly income averages. Still excited, my 980 is still kicking but it's definitely showing its age on certain new games, hopefully the prices won't be too bad after a year (or at least 6 months) from RTX's release.
I'll pick up the 2080 when I get some cash. Maybe Xmas.
I'm still running a Radeon HD 6950... I really wanted to get a new card last generation, but I wasn't going to pay $800+.
How long is it expected to get mobile versions of these cards? I can't find info anywhere. I need a new laptop and don't know if I should wait or just go ahead and get something with a 1060 or 1070.

Sure do wish I had money...
so basically agent 47 is king neptune?
http://vcdn.computec.de/ct/2018/8/78961_sd.mp4 Imagine paying $1200 for 30-60 fps on 1080p.
It's probably because of the new raytracing and stuff that it's on low fps. I imagine it being a lot worse on previous generation cards. Also the video is poor quality.
Woops, my mistake, copied the 480p link
Tbh I'm going to straight up skip this generation for the next 770 to 970 wasn't big, to 1080 was biggish It won't be worth it unless I skip a generation, get the TI edition and just build an entirely new PC.
I'd have to see how much of a leap these cards are above the 10 series before even considering getting them. (On a 1080 atm) I'd rather wait a generation or two for the tech to mature a bit.
still unacceptable for a flagship title for this tech to be running at 30-60 FPS at 1080p imo
Because tombraider has always ran like shit because its a glorified tech demo. I remember when i got rise of the tombraider with my 980ti and it could barely run past 40 fps at 1080p with everything on.
You could just, I don't know, not run it on highest settings? Not all games are necessarily created to run with highest settings on any card at the point of release. There's no shame in turning down the settings. I don't know where this attitude comes from that an expensive card should be able to run any game at highest settings. Some games add effects that will only be viable on future cards for future-proofing.
Thats what i was getting at, tombraider has a ton of tech that majority of cards cant run or can barely run. The 980ti was the top of the line when rise came out and it could hardly handle all the tech showcased on it. So pointing out that the 2080ti can barely run all the techdemo shit they showed off is not surprising.
So I’m planning on building a PC for the first time in forever(been console gaming mostly lately). I’m a noob when it comes to PC building. You guys think it’s worth dropping the extra for these cards, or should I just go with the 1080?
It's an unreleased game with no patches or driver optimizations, plus nowhere in that video does it say it's running at 1080p, these could just as easily be 4K framerates
My bad, thought you were asserting that this was somehow a bad thing.
Now to wait 2 - 3 console generations for any games to bother with this tech
I've decided to wait for some real benchmarks, which I think are estimated to come out around the release dates (Sept 20th). If it's not a significant bump, then I'd stick with the 1080 save your money.
Idk why youd upgrade from the 10xx series at all to this considering its a slight improvement with RT tech added in. But from a 980ti to a 2080ti its literally double the performance.
Given Microsoft is pushing in with "Direct X Raytracing" and wants to hold the moniker of "most powerful console," I could almost imagine the next Xbox supporting raytracing.
