Nvidia announce GeForce RTX 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti launching September 20 - Sensationalist Headlines

Maybe if you're one of those idiots who got conned into buying the shitty version of the 1060. Like me.

I’m going from a computer that runs on ass, trying to decide if I should just go with the 1080 or 2080

I've got a 970 currently, but if I upgrade my GPU I'll need to upgrade everything else to keep up with it since I'm still running an i5 2500k. So I don't really want to spend $1000-$1200 on one part when I have to rebuild everything.

Same, i have a gtx 760 currently, i could barely play Wolfenstein 2 with stutters and hud issues due to the lack of vram. I wish the prices would go down but they are so inflated here with our taxes...

It depends on your budget, the only reason i got it was because i was a full generation behind and my card is starting to bottleneck with new games, i just got an ultrawide 144hz monitor that the 980ti cant hit, and also had my tax refund ive been holding since the beginning of the year. The 1080/1080ti are still great cards, so you could just get a 1080ti for 650 and a nice monitor instead.

My 970 feels like it should be fine for a while, the price of graphics cards are nuts anyway. I cannot believe my 970 is over 3 years old. This tech is getting pricier and pricier, I swear high end consumer gear didn't used to be upwards of £1000.

Here I was, musing over the idea of upgrading to Ryzen 2 and the new nVidia GPUs with as much "top-of-the-line" hardware as I could afford. But alas, RAM and GPU prices have put a stop to that. From the parts I've picked on Newegg, one of these cards (just about any of them) would almost double the price.

FE or non FE?

I decided to pull back my order actually. Next year is 7nm architecture which should see a jump just like the 9xx to 10xx cards. Mkght get a 1080/ti in the meantime though.

2080 ti FE costs 1.5k$ here with delivery date after oct 20. 2070 costs more than I paid for 1080. I guess I'm not gonna buy any of those cards then.

I'm kinda hyped but at the same time I can't think of a single game that would run or look considerably better than with my 1060, at least to the point where these prices would be warranted I'd spend a pretty penny on this card, and I really wouldn't even notice that much of a difference.

I just bought a 1080ti recently for

if we see another jump like that skipping would mean you will get a retardedly huge boost from the new gpu, like lmao fuck nothing will run under 100

A lot of experts are saying its going to happen because AMD is expected to bring their toys to show next year, and its the perfect time to have 7nm and show off ray tracing with next gen performance.

Brexit, inflation and miners. The drop in the pound costs about 16%, inflation has been around 5%, although that would bring the 2080 in at about £519, and yeah miners have ruined everything That said whilst there's no point replacing my 1080, ray tracing is really exciting.

You know what, I'm happy with my 1060 3gb edition. It's not a beast but runs pretty much everything at 60fps 1080p with settings tweaked.

Well, you know, lowest settings and 30fps is not a prefered way of enjoying a video game for most people.

If I knew someone local who would buy my 1080 Ti I can definitely see myself picking this up. I just don't like upgrading purely because I want my old stuff to still be used by someone. Used to only upgrade when my stuff was basically uselessly slow.

And you're ignoring TR's notoriously chuggy performance every iteration. It's made to look pretty, not run well, never has been.

man i just got a 1060

Do you still watch videos too because DVD players are a scam?

You guys think a 780 on a 1680x1050 60Hz monitor still has a few years under the pedal? I can sort of manage games like BF1 on medium settings at 60fps. I'm hesitating between waiting a little bit for 10xx prices to drop and invest in a 1480p 144Hz display along with a 1080TI or wait a bit longer to afford a jump to the 2080TI.

You have about two years tops due to consoles, and by tops I mean "run well enough to not induce fits".

This graph is all flash and no substance. I'd wait until we get actual, real world benchmarks. Not the ones from Nvidia's marketing team.

Y-axis labels unclear, see me after class

Wow! It gets a whole Two on Ark!

Tbf, a super computer cant even run ark above 4 fps.

That graph is probably a graph of "relative performance." IE it is alleging that at 4k res, you'll be getting just under 1.5x the framerate on FFXV, and slightly over double when enabling DLSS, when comparing an RTX 2080 vs a gtx 1080. But considering that it's performance stats supplied by 1st party, you shouldn't trust it no matter who the company is.

Yes it is. Although ray tracing could potentially be a standard for game graphics in the future, at the moment it is nothing but a cheap trick to justify the higher prices of the new cards. Let us get one thing straight: for a considerable amount of generations to come, traditional solutions will be indistinguishable from fancy ray-tracing tech. Ray tracing is a brute force solution to a problem - a problem we have been solving in a way more elegant way since crisis 1. And until developers start developing games exclusively with ray tracing in mind, they won't even utilise environments and situations where the tech really shines. Ray tracing has a potential to be a game changer - but not in its scaled down super-"optimised" state we are seeing it now. Thats just a money cow for Nvidia.

Consoles do not dictate how pc devs design pc games.
