NVIDIA Announces the GeForce RTX: 10 Years in the Making

[yogurt_21]

Ray Tracing eh? Any games that use that yet?

time will tell if this is the 2nd coming of the NV30 (FX 5800) or a continuation of their dominance started with Maxwell onwards.

 

[diatribe]

It was only few days ago, TITAN used to cost $1200 and now same tier will retain a standard price of $3000. What a time we live in!. nVIDIA is really out to dry our wallets quick this time around.

Let your wallet do the talking and don't buy at these prices.

seems to be demo's out to go get to look how great it is [funny how you don't yet have a rtx card that supports it but there showing you how great it is on your old card's ] hmmmm.... more sucker hype

That's pretty easy for me-Ngreedia.

GPU Price getting ridiculously high. Insane.

they know how much your willing to spend and there priced accordingly and got them guys with them wallpapers working on it all day long . just put it on your c-card with them it easy terms 99$ down 9$ a month at 30% for the next 99 years , see anybody can afford one just like a 8000$ car sells for 30, 000$ . yup them easy terms

 

[yogurt_21]

so is this a paper launch?

where's the reviews?

 

[Vya Domus]

Gotta say, as pessimistic as I was about pricing, the official numbers still managed to amaze me. 600 bucks for an xx70 class GPU , wow.

 

[R-T-B]

I wonder what metric they are using for their "6 times pascal performance!" claim.

 

[Rockarola]

Yep, but sadly that is how it works, they caved becuase Nv own the high end market and they want a slice. XFX, Powercolor etc must all be wishing they had something new to sell.

This isn't about AMD Vs Nvidia for them. It's about ASUS Vs MSI, Zotac, Gigabyte...

XFX, Powercolor et al are doing just fine selling non-halo cards. We all seem to forget that the real high-end cards are a very small part of the market and volume sales makes money...the more you sell of a single unit, the cheaper it is to produce.

How AMD will respond to these RTX ?

AAA game bundles, lots of them, which will effectively make Vega 64 a $250 card.

They're not making a Turing-competitor any time soon.

 

[ViperXTR]

where are the existing game performance comparison vs old?
Ray Tracing is nice and all but majority of the games are still rasterized

 

[RejZoR]

We will be able to run a new AA method utilizing the Tensor Cores, with no impact or much less performance impact, than the others AA.

Yeah, modes utilized by games. That's same as not having one. I want controls for it in NV CP so I can force it myself in any game going as far back as 15 years if I want. Who cares if 3 new games will have it. Heh.

 

[Vya Domus]

I wonder what metric they are using for their "6 times pascal performance!" claim.

They are combining everything the chip can do, programmable shaders + tensor core + RT cores. They aren't wrong technically but it means jack shit.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo wallet. The leather jacket man is here for us.

 

[TheDeeGee]

Those prices...

 

[Arpeegee]

I remember being able to buy a high-end card for $450... Seems like Nvidia was successful into brainwashing the masses that high-end should be priced beyond the $700 mark and now into the $1000s.

This is only killing the PC gamers market, it's like we're back in 2007 when AMD was playing the pricing game with weaker video cards to Nvidia. PC gaming was considered dead or dying at the time and Nvidia was gouging their customers then too.

This time however I don't expect AMD to punch back like it did with the HD5870...

Need to see how RTX 2060/2070 stack up against a 1070/1080 in current games.

Yes!

After reading the Techradar's hands-on review for the 2080 Ti it hints we'll see almost 2x the gaming performance of the 1080 Ti for about 1.5x the cost.

https://www.techradar.com/uk/reviews/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-ti

I base this on that they said they were getting over 100+ FPS in 4k in a variety of games. I hope these were games in which I currently get ~40-60 FPS at max settings with a 1080 Ti.
They also said they got around 60 fps at 4k in Shadow of the Tomb Raider a future title with Ray Tracing enabled. Edit: Wrong.

So we could look at this instead as a 33% increase per dollar (2/1.5=1.33).

This is not so crazy if the increase is similar across the range of cards. Then the 2080 would be true successor to the 1080 Ti as they are priced similarly but with possibly ~33% more fps and new ray tracing capabilities. The card I'm personally considering if I can get a good price for my 1080 Ti now but its a gamble.

2080 Ti would then actually just be a new class of even higher performance with a price to match.
2070 would be the new improved 1080 class.
2060 would be the new improved 1070 class.
Etc...

Don't know for sure until the proper reviews come in.

The article you linked to never mentions resolution for Tomb Raider. Not sure how you came to the conclusion it was at 4k / 60fps

The Tomb Raider demo was in 1080p

The setup worried attendees, however. Running at 1080p resolution, the game couldn’t even stay locked at 60 frames per second and drops were quite noticeable at times.

 

[zedd311]

You are right it didn't mention the resolution in Tomb Raider.

Curious, where's that second quote from?

 

[purecain]

I find having bought a Titan v that I have the best single card after all. yet I could of had sli 2080ti... that would of been the better option I think... time will tell. looking forward to the numbers.

 

[las]

Mindblowing next gen graphics
I need RTX in my life
1080p 30 fps is more than enough

think of all the money you would save if you bought one? And if you buy more then one you save even more money!
