Another should I upgrade topic.

I have a titan x maxwell. I am thinking it's time for an upgrade. 1080ti would not really have been worth it but I think 2080ti would be. I'll wait awhile to see but even without the fancy Ray tracing it should be a huge upgrade. I play at 3440x1440. Thoughts?

if you got money to burn go for it and stay in the rat race but it doesnt really make sense.

I am also leaning towards that position. Most bells and whistles in a games graphics settings don't impact my experience for the most part. And most of the games I play don't require a lot more graphical power. I wonder what intels cards will be like. Nvidia needs more competition.

Yet you have a Titan X

Id stick with the titan X for a while longer, this generation of nvidia cards seems like a shady stopgap generation and i dont think the performance difference would be worth the cost

maybe get a second titan x if you can find one cheap, for SLI capable games that would probably work out really well for the price

 

i say wait to see what intel can push out in 2020 or the NEXT next nvidia generation

The 2080 ti is on backorder. By the time you will be able to get one the reviews will be out.

 

I play at 3440x1440 as well. With a GTX 1080 ti, I am over 100fps with high settings or better in most of the games I play. I am not planning to upgrade the GPU until there are 144hz 3440x1440 monitors.

My other computer is connected to 4k monitor. Performance is not great with a GTX 1080 ti but I am getting over 60fps in most of my games. I will upgrade when affordable 120hz monitors come out.

 

I am basically waiting for monitors that are not on the market yet.

 

The raytrace thing is meaningless to me. I am a retired 3d graphic artist. I have been raytracing since the mid 80s. I used techniques that 3D game designers use to bring down rendering times. A casual eye could not tell the difference between my pure raytraced images & the ones I faked. Sometimes I could not tell.

 

I would rather have the frame rate than the raytracing.

These benchmarks show that Titan X Pascal is consistently about 60-70% faster than Titan X Maxwell at 3440x1440.

 

Looking at raw specifications of 2080 Ti I think a 30-60% improvement is definitely feasible over Titan X Pascal at such a high resolution.

 

So potentially 2080 Ti being double as fast as Titan X Maxwell at 3440x1440.

 

We'll see when the benchmarks and reviews are released!
