And it's maybe worth it for those like me that are rocking a GTX 960 and want an upgrade.

Good point. I'm in a similar boat, but it's also tempting to upgrade to a 1080, save hundreds of dollars (even though I might be willing to shell out for a 20 series card) and call it good.

what? even on 1k series

20% more cuda?

faster memory

 

pascal was huge jump on performance with same kinda jump (believe slightly more) in specs from maxwell

 

That is if you are willing to pay for the higher price tag. You can always just buy a used 10 series card or one of the now discounted 10 series from places trying to clear inventory.

I definitely don't think it's worth it if your going from a pascal card but what I'm saying is that it may be worth it if you're going from a maxwell card. But we will have to wait for ''real'' benchmarks before we know if it's worth it or not.

I mean that's really up to the person. Some might find it to be worth it while others won't.

Yeah, I'm planning on getting a RTX 2070 or a GTX 1080 but I don't know which of them. I can get a GTX 1080 for about $650 and a RTX 2070 for $750 so I'm leaning towards the RTX 2070 because of ray tracing and DLSS.

I guess you will have to wait for benchmarks. The new AA might help give the 2070 better performance than one might expect.

but looks like we are getting 20 to 30 % more raw powah

in cuda and tenors doing work to relief cuda on other tasks along with faster memory

I'm curious to see what developers can do with the other core types. Or rather I'm curious to see what they can do in general.

pascal release was titan 1080 and 1070 3 tiers priced 1200 700 and 450

 

and 2070 is prolly being held back to clear 1080ti cards because possible surplus of them

this is what I was talking about in other topic but ledeater kept being closed minded

but those tensor cores could relieve cuda in many area meaning less to achieve more

but we dont know yet

but if they can dlss means they do have another purpose besides helping with rt

Well outside of that, I feel like I'm the only one who's excited for new technology while everyone else is going "muh fps brah"

same here

fps isnt only thing that is part of performance

 

this is first step in huge visual future

I mean the 2080ti is supposed to hit over 60 fps at 4k so based on what the tech media saw. So if you can get that and have new exciting tech like raytracing then yeah I am excited. Having more options is always good.

8GB of VRAM?  It's gotta be the 2070

Also, only 8GB of VRAM... Give us 12GB.

8gb??!! WHY!!!!????

I mean, it is GDDR6 memory, so hopefully the speed increases will help counteract that it is only 8GB. But I really haven't ran into very many memory limits with my current 1080 either... So we shall see when them benchmarks come out.

Nah, those of us excited are just sick of the haters, tinfoil hat wearers and "muh fps bah" - type of responses already.

 

I can guarantee you, I am more than interested in this.

DLSS alone can be a HUGE gain. It looks pretty damn good and is basically free performance if you usually turn AA on. Which on 1440p I definitely do. And this is only the "I want moar FPS" fix.

RT looks amazing. And no matter how little other people appreciate it, the room demo they showed, with the table and only light from the window amazed me. That is exactly what I always hated about games. Even those that did fake it well, I always thought "oh, how would there be light right there?". Sure, this is not a big concern for others, but it always drives me nuts. With RT the room finally looks like it is supposed to. I am BEYOND excited for that.

 

On the other hand, I understand that some people only want a faster GPU and don't want better graphics. At least I try to understand that (it is hard tho).

 

NVidia is moving the industry forward with the first RT implementation. And that is awesome in itself. But it is a rough start, as for every new tech. 

We can clearly see the people that don't understand, don't want to understand, or just flat out misinterpret about every piece of information we get. As long as it does not give FPS, it must be bad and / or useless.

 

We can only hope that Benchmarks shut "them" up or RT games look as amazing as possible. 

Yes that is hoping. No this is not fanboyism. It is just me being excited that we finally get something worthwhile beyond pure FPS numbers. (Along with FPS numbers !)

[Brehohn]

This is pretty cool. Synthetics do show a bit of the story, so I like where this is going.

 

Also, I personally dont care about price since I'm an enthusiast with this stuff. Regardless, a 40% improvement is awesome for something that ISNT an RTX demo.

-Snip-

After hearing about "muh fps" for the billionth time I decided to have a look at the past to see when we had some new fangled GPU technology come out, what did it bring to the table. Most of the time the first generation of hardware with the shiny new feature wasn't capable of blazing fast performance that people today are expecting, comparatively speaking.

 

In fact, I feel like that's what a lot of the PC gaming market just demands: more FPS. Any new technology? It better bring more FPS or it's not worth it. I remember when Mantle was all the hot rage and looking at it, I knew that it wouldn't help machines with high-end CPUs (if your CPU is fast enough to feed the GPU to 100% utilization, lowering the CPU load won't make it go any faster). And when the results came in with publications testing with high-end CPUs showing little to no difference, people started questioning Mantle's purpose (at least I think that's what happened).

 

I mean, if people are going to push FPS for competitive play, they're likely going to turn off all the fancy graphical features anyway to the point that a 1080 Ti will probably have time to crunch a DES key within an hour while they play games.
