Nvidia RTX 2080 & 2080ti announced

Hillskill

Are that many of our number gaming at 4k? I'm still at 1440p. If I had to choose I think my next upgrade is likely to be a 144hz or above panel and stick at 1440p. I suspect the higher frame rate would be more of a bump to me in experience, especially considering my gaming is now of the most casual nature.

EDIT: Echoing Chalky's point it seems while drafting my post. Totally agree

I'm at 1440p ultrawide, I take the PC downstairs sometimes and put it on the 4k TV if there is something I really want to play at high fidelity but most the time use that for the consoles and just use the PC on the monitor.

Thats the only reason I want to upgrade to a 1080ti. I believe the HDMI that I have run around to my desk position would carry a 4k signal round to my living room setup. My 980ti isnt quite up to the task

I currently game on an ASUS 27" 1440p G-Sync 165Hz and my GTX980Ti is fine for that (PS4pro at 1080p also looks good on it).

I just got a new LG 27"4K UHD monitor hence my intetest in a 1080Ti or 2080  card for high quality 4K.

The PS4Pro looks great on the UHD monitor but I'm thinking the PC with high Hz & g-sync might still be best for the PC.

PS4pro to my 55" LG 4K UHD OLED is still ultimate for pure static image quality and OK for most game motion.

I'm trying to play at 4k !!, all tho i have a high end rig 8600k  1080ti  all water cooled and a 1440p  165hz  monitor - in the man cave  , lately i have been playing on my 4690k 1080 ti and 4k tv ,
( and  it's keeping up with my 8600k pc- but thats a different story )   
some games i can get 4k at med settings and  get a stable 60fps , other games im having to drop down to 1440p at max settings  ,
but like others i want to play 4k at max settings with all the bells and whistles turned on ,
but there's on way im paying the stupid prices the new cards are going for....

out of all the reading and watching vidz the only good thing to come out of this , is knowing  shadow of the tomb raider is out in 3 weeks

In this case the founders edition appears to be overclocked with (most likely) binned chips. I suspect the partners may get the dregs this time round.

The figures look like the usual story - a 2080 should be marginally quicker than a 1080ti, and I think the 2080ti will end up being 15-30% on top of that. Hardly unexpected.

As for buying blind, my preorder only ships mid-late October - that's plenty of time to evaluate online reviews and cancel if it really turns out to be a Vega. But I'd rather be on the waiting list now than inevitably struggle to find stock after the release and then have to pay inflated prices. We know it'll happen.

That’s the thing and they would have used settings to get the highest difference rather than best performance.

DLSS could have laughably bad performance for all we know and looking at the ray traced shadows in Tomb Raider not being able to hit 60 at 1080p I’m guessing it’s not great.

For comparison 1080Ti vs. 1080 in earlier games at 4K:

                                                                                 

Which equates to roughly:

1.25x
1.25x
1.8x
1.3x

Which I’m guessing means 2080 will be around 15% faster than a 1080Ti, 2070 the same speed and 2080Ti an unknown but it needs to be a hell of a lot faster to justify its silly price.

If they were insanely powerful then why are they being cagey about performance.

What it looks like is we are getting the normal price of the GPU   the price of the extra ray tracing stuff added on rather than included.

Hillskill

OK...reports now starting to state the 2080 is 50% faster than the 1080! Irrespective of Ray Tracing or not!!

I'm going to try find some links

Thats what i posted on the previous page but from NVidia not PC gamer.

They can compare it to the 1080 all they like to make the benchmarks look better but here in the real world price is more important and last time I checked inflation was not that high. If it’s launch price is the same ballpark as launch price 1080Ti then that is what I’ll be comparing it to, perhaps they were hoping if they changed the name we wouldn’t notice!
