2080 = 1080ti for $800.I have few benchmarks with MSI 2080 gaming trio vs 1080TI gaming x so both AIB runs at +- same clock 1920 Mhz.
OC result in crysis3:
2080-91fps
1080TI-97fps
Are you only going to use this for light CPU software? In other words, when spending this sort of money, why run the power supply so close to the limit, if you later decide to use it in a combined high CPU & GPU scenario?
And you haven't even seen what happens to FPS when you enabled Ray tracing making the supposed 'new feature' even less valuable when your FPS gets cut by 20-30% further.
Agreed, if he has enough money for two 2080tis the least he can do is get that PSU to 1000 Watts. $2,400 on GPUs and a $60 PSU
I guess the idea was to implement DSSL with Ray tracing and have no performance loss and no quality of graphics loss.
I think its interesting that on some benchmarks, SLI'ed 1080TI's beats him.
Yes, as you shift around on the screen the BVH changes. A simple summary is.. There is the initial BVH which is costly, then there are updates that are less costly. Updates can be done when an object moves in a simplistic manner across the scene... Say a car. There are tons of other ways to speed this up nonethless nothing can be done until it is stable and computed. This isn't something you should worry about beyond real-time ray tracing. It's a portion of the pipeline but nothing substantial. When you start pushing high frame rates though and force completition within narrow windows, you can see how it starts to occupy a bigger and bigger portion of the render time.
Where in the world do you live?
That may be.... I might invest in one when thats all fixed. Right now a 1080TI is my best bet.
The statement of the performance will tank further fails to take into account that the ray tracing has its own core. It does share some work with the other execute units within the SM (I believe they are essentially driving the work on the RT core, sending it data, etc... But time will tell once more sites get their reviews and data out there.
And that is probably the same position most gamers will find themselves. Without 4K monitors, the 1080ti or 1080 is all that is needed. Sure if you want ray tracing, you will need a 2080 or 2080ti, but there is really not much in terms of games that will be out there that can take advantage of ray tracing yet (we do however, need the hardware to exist in order for software to see a reason to implement). Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking on the RTX lineup. It is definitely something that can show a benefit, but it is most definitely an early adopter tech, and something that will probably not really show its use for 2-4 years (by which time there will be second or even third generation hardware out there, assuming there is enough support on the game developers/publishers side).
Cyberpunk 2077 will have hairworks and Raytracing support.
