Th3pwn3rIt's as if the majority of people crapping on turing don't know that you don't have to ray tracing. You can still have a greatly improved 4k gaming experience by paying the premium price. If I bought a 2080ti I wouldn't care about ray tracing but the slight bump up in FPS @ 4k resolution.

Yeah we take RTRT out of the equation it’s a good card but still overpriced and moerso now that we’ve seen is party piece in action.

Yup nvidia more like ngreedia

@eidairaman1 , @INSTG8R , you know this is getting really old already. You don't have to buy a Turing card nor play around with DXR.

Turings are not that bad of a value by itself. Except for 2080Ti which is flagship money, Turings are a bit better perf/$ than Pascals. I know everyone expected the usual thing of getting previous high end performance for midrange money but isn't it time to get over it already?

Especially since pretty much everyone with constant whining is not running Turing cards anyway.

Loo:k it’s the most expensive flagship they’ve ever released advertisied as the most advanced they ever done with the capability to give us RTRT. Well, it’s expensive and advanced. I'm failing to see me not running one has anything to do with that. Defending it is no better when it’s “big feature” has proven to be just a proof of concept. That is where I take issue.

Titan V was $2999 :D
2080Ti is most advanced, it has RTRT capability.
Everyone knew DXR comes with a considerable performance hit from day 1.

All the threads that are even remotely related to RTX - or even any GPU lately - will devolve into this useless crap these days.

Edit:
A larger problem is that DXR is standardized in DX12. There are very few DX12 games to begin with. Battlefield series has its own set of problems with DX12 with microstutters and it bing slow across the board. Shadow of Tomb Raider might be more interesting, its DX12 implementation is one of the best (next to Sniper Elite 4 and possibly Hitman) and it is a single-player game where eyecandy could be justifiable.

But..."it just works"..?

Let’s just leave out Titan ;) ITuring has achieved proof of concept. It can only get better with better hardware like any new tech.

it is not just halved, it is halved on LOW! on ultra it is x0.3...

you do know that the rtx 2080ti which is a card that was suppose to replace the gtx 1080ti was released with a 60% higher msrp
the gtx 1080Ti was released with the same msrp or close to as the gtx 980ti and offered some 60% better performance
TitanV is like Quadro, not meant for gaming

Let's all be honest. If the 2080ti was selling at $800 everyone would be going insane and buying them all up because of the performance is THE BEST. The only real problem is they're not $800. They're ridiculously overpriced. People are acting like this is a bigger failure than Vega which in my opinion it is not. However, I am in agreement that marketing of Turing was awful at best. The hate here is comical though, if the 2080ti drops under $950 I bet all these haters will be running to buy them up. I would upgrade in all honesty, 5-10FPS @ 4k is worth it to me

agreed.
People keep forgetting that the gtx 1080ti was launched at 699 usd the same as the gtx 980ti while offering some 60% better performance
the rtx 2080ti only offers 30% improvement while launched with a msrp 85% higher than its predecessor

you are thinking as if the huge price is only minor inconvenience to us? like - if there are a good product - it is good product - period, no ifs or buts, and no one should cares about price? using your logic - can I walk in a store and select some good products and walk out with those, without paying? I do not want to pay, but that is only minor inconvenience here. I mean those are good products and I will make good use of those, why would anyone else see problem with that?
btw what about future, lets say 1-2 years forward, next release - rtx 3080 ti lets say another +30% better than rtx 2080 ti, and price 2000$, but who cares it is 30% better - so a good product period and we should be happy about it? I would, because I would walk out of store for 0,00 with that beast :D

Yeah no, those ideas only work on the internet where everyone and his dog is telling the world they are throwing money at their screen. Its the same as that TPU poll where '25% was either gaming on or going to game on 4K'. They aren't, and they aren't going to anytime soon.

Price is a primary concern despite all the marketing and hype we let ourselves get fooled with. An enthusiast forum is the worst possible place to gauge the sentiment with regards to price.

Ironically an enthusiast forum is also the only place you will find apologists for this horrible business practice Nvidia is employing with Turing. We're paying a high price for RTX and if we want to upgrade, we literally have no way to avoid it. And then people here happily say 'look, theý're selling cards, its going well!'... :roll: Typical situation of 'in the land of the blind'.

I've said this before, and I will say it again: you have a real option of NOT BUYING something. Skip a gen, and you will find RTX to be far more reasonably priced either this gen or the next one. Thát is my main motvation for resisting this, and believe it or not, that sentiment does matter, even if some fools buy it anyway. Another possible advantage is that more effort will be put into optimization and quality of the experience, because that is another way to increase value.

If you really want RTRT to happen, now is the time to step on the brakes hard and force an adjustment. Turing's implementation is simply not viable.

Thanks to TPU for the performance #'s. This is a great example of why unbiased performance benchmarks are so important.

My takeaway from the performance numbers is that it's very clear RT simply isn't ready for prime-time use yet. For me 2k and 60fps for PC gaming is a minimum acceptable threshold, and I'd bet the majority of PC gamers would say the same or even a higher minimum. And looking at the numbers the only 20xx card that can even do above 60fps at 2k with RT on is the 2080ti, and even that is only with RT set to low. ANY other scenario at 2k is below 60fps with RT enabled. Basically, this is a repeat of NV pushing 4k gaming a few years ago with the 980ti's when the tech really wasn't there yet, so people spent lots of money only to find out that 4k gaming then meant about 20fps which wasn't practical at all. And at 4k with RT even on low the 2080ti can't crack 50fps. Cool tech, but it's definitely a generation or maybe even 2 away from being work considering.

eidairaman1800 is still ridiculously priced...

I disagree, $800 isn't a ridiculous price, plenty of people paid a lot more than that for 1080ti cards. If you really feel that way you can just buy older generations of cards for less. Unless you must have the absolute best then you have to pay a premium. There are plenty of people who spare no expense. An example being audiophiles, $1300 for a set of CAR SPEAKERS. It's silly but those companies making them know their market exists, Nvidia banks on those kind of customers right now it seems.

I totally agree, I play in 4k off of my 1080 and also have a 1080ti, I would like more FPS BUT the price has to come down a bit for me, I'm not desperate and I'm not wanting things for free either. I have $6000 into my car audio system but even I have my boundaries.

I don't have any intent on 4k either, I just don't game enough to justify all the expense.

Do you have a long commute? How much time do you spend in your car?

Edit: Not judging, just curious as what would drive $6k into a system mostly used for driving to and from work.

My 290 VaporX bear in mind second to the best card (290X VaporX/8GB) was 460 in 2014. My 9700 pro all in wonder in 2002 was 400.

So the prices are still ridiculous over 500

Many people said "it was to be expected, that RTX effects had a high performance hit". To be honest, I did not. Because those RT cores are just there to process those RTX effects, so I would have expected a few percentage lost for the overhead, but not double digit numbers. To me it looks like either DICE did a very bad job at the DXR optimization, or NVIDIA has balanced those RTX cards completely wrong. As Techspot points out:

It is interesting to note across these tests that we are being RT core limited here. The higher the resolution, the higher the performance hit using the Ultra DXR mode, to the point where playing at 4K is more than 4x faster with DXR off. This also plays out when we spot checked power consumption: the cards were running at consistently lower power with DXR on, because the regular CUDA cores are being underutilized at such a low framerate.

Source

While the RTX effects are impressive, to me it looks more like a tech demo. NVIDIA will have to considerably increase the RT core count (like double or triple), or the technique has to get optimized a lot before this will become a real game changer. Also as a buyer of an RTX 2070 (which I am not), I would be rather disappointed, since those meager 36 RT cores make DXR almost useless.

Still I am excited to see what other upcoming games or DXR patches will bring to the table.

Hey, at the end of the day it's still cheaper than the R9 295X2 which launched at a whooping $1500:

www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R9_295_X2/

And as that was basically crossfire on a stick, poor or lacking crossfire support meant the card couldn't shine in every title either.

Just some perspective for the current prices.

Vya DomusNice way of trying to turn this into an AMD issue.

Everyone get your pitch and fork, it's because of that damn AMD you get to enjoy a cinematic sub 60 fps experience.



Poor performance doesn't need much context. It's poor performance.

Indirectly it is. If AMD did have a faster card than the RTX 2080 and another one that could beat the RTX 2080Ti then nvidia would be forced to sell cheaper. I don't know why you can't grasp that. Nvidia is price gouging because they have no competition.

moproblems99I don't have any intent on 4k either, I just don't game enough to justify all the expense.

Edit: Not judging, just curious as what would drive $6k into a system mostly used for driving to and from work.

My commute right now is about an hour each way. My system price also includes the proper charging system, 270 amp alternator, 2/0 awg power cables and Digital Designs products, basically higher end stuff but you can do it for less. Of course I did all the work, labor would have been thousands of dollars.

Your argument is moot in my opinion. I drive an older Honda Civic at times but could buy a brand new Corvette, both will get me to work.

A lot of us get that. People want Nvidia to forget that business comes first. It would be nice if the prices were better but they don't care about us that much. If you buy something from your friend you probably get a good deal, we're not friends or Nvidia so we get charged whatever they can come up with that will work for them.

RavenmasterI don't know why you can't grasp that. Nvidia is price gouging because they have no competition

That is simply not true. A GPU is not a required purchase. Nvidia is charging that much because people are buying them. Even if no other manufacturer produced GPUs, if no one bought them, the price goes down. The fact of the matter is, as long as people are buying, Nvidia is going to test how far they can go. Frankly, I hope AMD slots in just under and starts reaping in the money to fill their coffers as well.

Until people make a decision of when too much is too much, prices will continue to rise.

RTX itself (very low sample rate + denoiser) is the optimization that is required for "Real-Time". Its the same as if you took your favorite renderer (blender) and used 1spp to render with a denoiser. Its very low quality but gets the job done as quick as possible.

The optimization has to come in making those RT cores better and adding more of them. Just adding more RT cores right now will take up too much die space for not much benefit like the scaling from 2070 to 2080 TI. They need to be multiple times better x10+ so they wont be bogged down if games use more then one RTX effect.

This is a case of software catching up with technology and not the other way around. DICE will eventually get it to work as it should. I mean go and look at the Star Wars demo using the Unreal Engine with RTRT running with one RTX 2080.
