Exited to experience ray tracing first on the 2080TI

[Innokentij]

Hey guys! I seen alot of people cry and moan and jump to conclusions but me? I ordered it day 1 after watching the live stream and havent been this amazed since Glide days with voodoo 1 and quake. And yes it is expensive, as in 1500 USD expensive in Norway but hey what else i am gonna do with money? Wait to i die and leave it to the government?

Enjoy your new card. I know I'm going to enjoy my new 2080 Ti.

I'm curious how it will perform. If you have to drop to 1080p and have 30fps not sure how much it may be worth it. Once benches come out I'll probably have one too but I'm very suspicious of rtx performance on my 1440p monitor.

Use to render raytraced video on my Amiga/toaster/lightwave system. Take hours to render one frame.

Excited for mine too. Not so much RT, but as the first card that can rock 4K60 the right way. Cant wait. Been running 4K since early 2015 and there hasn’t been a single card yet that can do 4K right. I’ll have the first in a few weeks!

Im not sure what your definition of "do 4k right" is but an OC 1080 Ti can do 60 fps average many/most games on 4k on high settings. Available since 2017. Generally you may have to drop AA (not that important on 4k anyways) and maybe sometimes AO/HBAO

 

[Brahmzy]

^^ See that's just it - AA is still absolutely necessary. I've been playing near-field 40-43 4K screens. Think 2-2.5ft. AA will bury a 1080Ti quick. Maybe on those tiny 27" 4K screens you can get away with no AA... I don't do tiny 27" screens.
Tons of benches from all the websites showing 1080Tis struggling @ 4K. This is well-known. Anybody saying anything else doesn't own a 4K screen and/or 1080Ti. The ones that do, have been waiting for the 2080Ti for a long time. And honestly, the MINIMUM FPS should be paid attention to as the dips can have drastic effects on gameplay. There's already info out there showing a massive difference in the 2080Ti's minimum 4K FPS. Huge improvement.

These 2080Tis are a long-time comin'. BOUT TIME!

Well, those are average frame rates. We would need to see minimums, I think.
Probably dropping well below 60 at times.
I would guess that the 20 series cards will have higher minimum frame rates.

It does sound like you have jumped to a different conclusion than those people. Only time will tell how that fares. I'd guess you are not prone to the "cry and moan" even if you would miscalculate.

From what we have seen, RTX cards are delivering a performance boost comparable to most recent generations (not 1000 series which was a bigger boost), and on top of the normal performance boost, you are getting a wealth of new features.

Really it's a great product. IMO that isn't even debatable.

The ONLY issue is pricing, and a lot of that angst is mainly aimed at the 2080Ti, which really takes the place of Titan X in this generation, and thus has no price increase at all. Just a name change.

The rumored performance uptick for the 2080Ti is 35-45% (per Nvidia's Tom Peterson). Will that make the difference in minimum frames to declare the 2080Ti a no compromise 4k card? Guess we'll have to see.

In the past, we could wait for a 3-6 months and buy a 95% Titan solution in the form of a **80Ti for $600-700. If that happens this go round, you have a point although naming the card would get tricky. I don't see Nvidia selling a further cutdown GT102 card, but who knows.

I think it’ll be darn close. The 4K minimum FPS will be much, much better, and that’s what usually makes or breaks playability. Even if with AA FPS averages 50-60FPS, as long as the minimums don’t take dips into the low-40s or even 30FPS territory, we’re good. I think you’ll always have titles with certain sections that struggle and that will remain, but I think it’s going to slay 4K.

Now add DLSS and assuming we get solid future dev support for it, lights out. Now you’re talking 100%+ performance @ 4K.

That wont' happen for everyone, until it does 4K at 144hz. But it should definitely be no compromise for more people than the 1080Ti.

Valid point for late adopters. But for early adopters that means their card will likely hold it's value longer. They get a longer reward period for being an early adopter.

Uh, what? The graph with data above disagrees. It doesn't matter what you think is "well known" in a hand wavey subjective sense. OC 1080 Ti does over 60 fps on average at 4k in nearly all modern games per that graph. If you disagree provide proof. I have a 1080 Ti and a 4k 55" TV and it does 4k quite well in all the games I've played on it except Total Warhammer II. I generally just prefer the 144hz screen on my desk vs 60 fps even with the extra resolution

If your definition of "Do 4k Right" means 4k at 120-144hz, then we're definitely not there yet. But we achieved the 60 fps mark last year finally

 

[Brahmzy]

^^ Like I said, add some AA in there and watch it puke on itself. And that's probably average FPS too - what that doesn't show you is the FPS dipping down into the 30s n 40s at times, wrecking playability.
Try to use some better graphs (pick a bunch - they're all over the place) to prove your point. Plenty of first hand 1080 Ti / 4K owners that say they need more power. Been a well-known fact since the cards released.

"Well-known fact" ZZT wrong. Provide proof, or its not fact. You repeating 'well known fact' does not transform an opinion into data.

 

[killster1]

i imagine this will be the same. if we want to game at over 60fps min we will not be able to enable ray tracing AA shadows etc etc.. With the right settings you can run MOST games over 60fps min with 1080ti,

It would be nice to not have to tweak settings to not have major spikes in the FPS. 1080ti does 4k @ 60fps but not 100% of the time, half the time its going to be 45-50fps in any demanding game.
