NVidia 11 series

Yeah, if I had spent $1000+ on a 1080ti I too would be salty if it is now obsolete.

 

I do not believe 1080Ti was that expensive, more like $700-800 depending on the manufacturer and trim.
Every Huang's presentation makes previous gen cards look obsolete, how else can he afford all these fancy leather jackets.

But then real benchmarks tell different story.

Not sure why do you think announcement of the new tech makes any true PC enthusiast salty instead of happy. More new toys the better.
Usually 6 months later NVidia rolls out Ti version, will they come up with something else this time. Like different product lineup, Ultra Super Duper Ti?
Why would they change their product strategy all over sudden, it worked fine in the past and was greatly affecting purchasing decision for those who wanted to get the best out of new gen.
Are they trying to fool the masses into jumping on Ti right now just to introduce something better later?
A lot of stuff just doesn't add up.

 

They want the RTX cores out on market asap. People would be holding off buying until the Ti was announced. I'm glad they did this, now I can start planning my new machine with less anxiety. I don't want to buy obsolete tech again.

 

Lol Aussie pricing is a bit high.

 

Those prices are ridiculous. Bought my 1080 Gaming X for 650€ months ago when prices were still affected by the mining thingy and now we have 2080's starting from 910€-1000+€. What exactly they're thinking?

 

Why? RTX is irrelevant for practical gaming at the moment, all you can do is screenshots, not sustain even remotely acceptable FPS?
Perhaps a few gens later, may be. But now?

 

Did you even watch the presentation?

 

Havent seen it yet, did they show it in use in games? Was there significant visual improvement and how was performance hit vs regular rendering? Sorry I have a chitty internet connection atm with limited data amd poor reception so cant really watch this at home.

With the 10 series cards they promoted some NV works features which pretty much hardly got implemented in any games. I would be surprised if ray tracing gets implemented unless its an easy alternate render path. The user base will be very low for quite some time with capable hardware so its not something that would be a dev priority, unless NV makes it worth their while to implement these features.

ACC being unreal engine gives it more hope but I thought I read somewhere its unlikely they would run NV specific features.

 

You really need to watch the last 10 minutes or so of the presentation.

 

I watched most of it, and the one thing which seems noticeably absent is any sort of comparison with the previous gen for non-RTX games.

This suggests it's pretty underwhelming, which would mean these new cards are commanding a very hefty premium for the new rendering technology. It'll be fascinating to see how much RTX improves visuals (in actual gameplay rather than tech demos) and what the performance cost is. Will RTX be do-able at triple-screen resolutions, or in VR?

 

The RT functionality is gameworks all over again. And as soon as the gamedefs implements it, it'll make all your current cards obsolete or at least makes them look bad.

 

ACC is using RTX, along with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, BF5 and Metro Exodus. There's a bunch of others I don't remember as well

 

Yeah it's deffinately cool and would be nice to have but I use 4k and vr and more horespower is more important to me.
I think if I was 2d and 1080p it might be more desirable because a 1080ti can deal with every game on high at 60fps+.
I hope kunos can provide some working examples of gfx under this new card that's really the only game I would play alot of that has it.

Just slap on another +200/100/100 onto the 1st (already overpriced) prices for the 2080Ti/2080/2070.

Seems legit. Trololo....

 

The extra $200 is for the founders edition.

 

OK.
Still a bit misleading IMO.

Founders editions are reference and aren't all others better spec or at least better cooled? I never understood why they come at a price premium.

Here is the current conversion from USD to AUD for the 2080ti at 999USD yet somehow they found another $541.76 AUD for us . https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/products/store/#

I think it's mainly for ppl. who want a reference design GPU to install a water-cooler on it.
Most custom cards from Asus, EVGA, etc. aren't compatible with water-coolers.

 

Founder Edition are overclocked. Actually there are better 3rd party cardss for water cooling there is one without backplate for example.
