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

Baked lighting and real time, shit we use as of now. No one reported about demos being shown to how the RTX is better than the 10XX series in normal gameplay.

I had a GTX 690 which was one of their dual-GPU cards with integrated SLI, that card gave me nothing but happiness in honesty. I used it all the way until the 10 series released and really the only reason I felt a need to upgrade it then was because it started crashing every now and again thanks to a coolant leak I had that rusted it a lil bit Maybe there was a difference between normal SLI and their both-in-one packages though, I wouldn't know otherwise. And afaik the only cards they did that on were the 590, 690, and the Titan [Z?]

So Benchmarks are starting to come out, now that the embargo is lifted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDrpsv0QIR0 A Don't Buy from JayzTwoCents, as in his opinion the performance increases are not worth the price increases (~70% price increase for ~30% performance increase). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1DoG6uTYBg A No Conclusion from Linus as he feels the launch has been rushed and anything that takes advantage of the RTX cores and other features are not yet available and feels this is a major misstep to release the cards without being able to use any of their key features.

Most reviews are basically saying, if you have a 1080/ti dont bother unless youre trying to achieve high settings at 4k and want that 60 fps lock permanantly. And even comming from sub 10xx series, its probably better to just get to 10xx series instead of 20xx with 10xx dipping in price.

The price to performance stats just look godawful. These cards are way too expensive.

Has anybody seen any reviews of Gigabyte's 2080 Ti? I'm getting one of those either way but I can't decide between Gigabyte and MSI, Normally I'd go for the latter but the 8+8+6 power connectors and 360W power draw got me a little worried

what card do you currently have

Here's the GN review for the 2080, they'll also be uploading the Ti review later on today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUM_eINGUl4

is 1070 really needed for 1080p? I've been just fine with the 1060 6GB.

GTX 970, and a 750W PSU. On paper it should be enough but I'd rather leave it a little headroom

Depends on the game/settings/optimizations. Like I have a 1080ti and that still chugs sometimes with horribly optimized games at 1080p. Not sub 60 mind you, but im trying to reach 120-144 fps.

Holy fucking hell. https://i.imgur.com/ha3M4VY.png

Yeah it all depends on what you're expecting from the card. Right now I have a 1070 that I use for 1440p/60Hz gaming and I'm totally satisfied with it. There are a few instances where it has inconsistent frame timings if I max out more demanding titles, but overall it's a very nice experience.

I'd jump for a 1080/1080ti if you're really itching to upgrade then. The performance to price just isn't there on the 2080/2080ti, especially if you're looking to game at 1080p.

Plus the jump from 970 to 1080ti is double in performance easily. Dont bother with RTX yet since devs can barely impliment it without cutting the fps down to sub 60 at 1080p.

Yeah the performance jump from the 900 series to 1000 series was just really good. I upgraded from a 770 to the 1070 and I haven't looked back, it was a very smart time to get a new card. The 2070 on the other hand just isn't there, literally all of the reviews and benchmarks I've seen are saying the same thing.

I hope prices for the 10XX series will keep plunging regardless of the disappointing new cards benchmarks. 700€ for a 1080TI is still a bit too high for me.

But like RT thats reliant on devs adopting it. Without it, its still about a dead even performance level.

They're also Nvidia curated demos. Nvidia sent along DLSS-equipped 4K versions of Unreal’s Infiltrator demo and the Final Fantasy XV benchmark

But we don't know how implimented it is going to be. The demos in that article were all scripted and rigged to run a specific viewpoint. They even said that was odd in the article.

from what we saw of raytracing support at the announcement, it kills performance.

Well time to upgrade to 1080ti before stock run out. I'm doing heavy rendering in Vray, and RTX 2080ti, while being twice as expensive as the 1080ti where I live, is not even 20% faster for that (at current drivers, but I really doubt itll change by a lot). I thought a card designed for ray tracing would be amazing for rendering, but the card has a higher performance boost in gaming. And I have no intention to move out of 1080p 60fps for years to come in that domain. What a joke of a launch.

Gee, it sure feels nice having the 1080Ti as my only sensible upgrade path from a 1080. Please AMD, don't fuck the next one up.

Some conspiracy theories for this graphics card launch I've seen floating around: It's all a ploy to get holdouts from 9xx and earlier to upgrade to 1080/1080ti to move their excess pascal chips, with the whole rtx series acting as a stopgap until 7mm and get RTX/DLSS tech popular for the next gen of cards and get developers interested in the tech.

Are stocks really set to run out soon?

Is anyone really surprised the 20XX cards aren't a significant upgrade? Their main selling point is RTX and cards with a big new feature are always kind of crap compared to what comes after. The 21XX cards will be the significant upgrade.

I heard that as well. I'm seeing a lot of people saying they're upgrading to 1000 series now though. RTX upgrade is just not worth it for most people.

Actually at 4K the performance is virtually doubled, which for a certain segment of the population is p big deal. While the price is certainly nVidia passing off rtx chip costs to the consumer literally and directly, for people doing 4K/10 bit the purchase is probably a lot more justified than someone running HFR at 1080.

I'm thinking i might grab a 2080ti for 1440p early in the new year, coming from a 980, my only question is how much are frame drops noticeable on 144hz monitors going from the 140->90 fps range?

I'm interested in seeing if these cards will be able to significantly boost renderers like Vray or Corona. Nvidia deliberately made their GPUs worse at doing this sort of rendering after the 500 series, probably because people were buying 480s instead of Quadro cards to do it. I don't know if the RTX tech actually makes any difference in this though.
