    Today's Battlefield V Patch Adds DLSS and Optimizes Ray Tracing

    SMAA's temporal aliasing can be pretty terrible, though. TAA was meant to combat that. The only significant roadblock in DLSS is the fact that execution is subjective based on the Neural Net: you have to train it (meaning feed it a lot of 'perfect' renders: time and money), and it will try to...

    GTX 1080 Ti sudden price hikes...

    NV's CEO has said in a recent interview that 1080 Ti, 1080, 1070 Ti, and 1070 stock has finally dried up, with 1060 finally depleting soon, so Supply & Demand is literally the case here now.

    Such thing as budget 4k 60fps?

    Only if all the games you care about support it. Otherwise, no, not acceptable. Actually, screw that, it's not acceptable at all since support is already very small, even after DX12 was introduced.

    Such thing as budget 4k 60fps?

    The RTX 2070 is more or less your laptop's GTX 1080 with RT/DLSS, so if you get that, it will be just like your laptop's performance + a little higher due to better temps resulting in higher clocks + more OC headroom. The RTX 2080 is a 1080ti, which allows for many games to go 4k60 (or really...

    AMD Is Developing a DXR Capable GPU and More Third Generation AMD Ryzen News

    Okay, since AMD just announced Radeon VII on 7nm with performance around 1080ti for $699, what does that mean for Navi? Navi will be 7nm too, and while a new arch getting perf gains is expected, I can't imagine possibly doubling shader power without another shrink. So that means GTX1080 perf at...

    NVIDIA Titan V Runs Battlefield V with Ray-Tracing Effects Well, Even without RT Cores

    I don't think you're getting what I'm saying; I'm talking about the Titan RTX having *less* Tensor Cores than Titan V. If you were marketing the Titan RTX towards folks who need more/better Tensor Cores, then why advertise it with less than the previous generation instead of touting more and...

    NVIDIA Titan V Runs Battlefield V with Ray-Tracing Effects Well, Even without RT Cores

    I don't buy it. If they really were just Tensor Cores that could operate at lower precisions for speed, shouldn't you market them as better Tensor Cores, since, as you say, they have high-paying customers who are buying GPUs for more/better Tensors? Instead, they market it (even the Titan RTX)...

    NVIDIA Titan V Runs Battlefield V with Ray-Tracing Effects Well, Even without RT Cores

    Dunno about that. Activating DX12 in BFV already slams frames down both for NV and AMD, so there's obviously some trouble there, while Sniper Elite 4 gets gains for both. I guess it really depends on the implementation.

    NVIDIA Titan V Runs Battlefield V with Ray-Tracing Effects Well, Even without RT Cores

    So how does that explain the discrepancy between Titan V's RT performance (when it has the greater number of Tensor Cores and Shader units) against both the 2080 ti and the Titan RTX? ~15% more Boost Clock (with about ~10% less resources) results in ~30% more performance in favor of the RTXs...

    NVIDIA Titan V Runs Battlefield V with Ray-Tracing Effects Well, Even without RT Cores

    Read Microsoft's DXR programming guideline, and you'll understand why it works on Titan Vs. Tensor Cores do work for the denoising step of the RT process, though. The RT cores are more or less fixed-function (at least as they are known right now), so they don't do anything else other than...

    NVIDIA Titan V Runs Battlefield V with Ray-Tracing Effects Well, Even without RT Cores

    It really shouldn't be surprising as BFV's RT started with Titan Vs (DICE said so themselves). The first few BFV RT demonstrations were actually run on normal shaders, and was later accelerated via RT Cores, so the Titan V running it is normal.

    Battlefield V NVIDIA Ray Tracing RTX 2080 Performance @ [H]

    All things considered, the performance drop in just the change of API is a real deal-breaker already at 4K. I imagine some additional optimization can still be had by just improving the DX12 renderer, which could in turn make RT more palatable. That 17fps on 1440p gets real damn close to 60fps...

    Disabled HDCP with AMD GPU; reinstalled NVIDIA GPU, HDCP still disabled and causing problems.

    Have you tried changing cables? Sometimes, odd behavior from HDCP is just a cable issue.

    How much of a real world difference between EVGA 2080's?

    Not much. Slightly higher boost clocks, but it's not enough to make a big deal out of if you're not overclocking anyway - no real world difference. Best get the quietest version you can get.
