Tick Tock - #BeForeTheGame

Yes, they're pulling the FE shenanigans again. But the FE has an advantage now according to the specs.
 
"It just works."

I hope games coded to take advantage of it don't need max gamma correct to see anything if we don't have the hardware.
 
Non FE I'm guessing. More digestible, but still not sure if I want to wait or not.
I guess the other variants are pretty much ready for release next month.
The leaked spec from PNY is actually pretty accurate.
 
499$ 2070, 699$ 2080, 999$ 2080ti.. was expected.. the 1200$ price was what? some placeholder shit?

"FROM" $499 / "FROM" $699 / "FROM" $999...usually putting "from" in front of a price means you can get some sort of basic model at that price (think cars) but the good model is going to cost more. How they could do that with GPUs remains to be seen I guess.
 
not on current games. Only if you want ray tracing out the ass.


Oh...so i guess we would need benchmarks of current games...guess his graph is a little misleading =/

I mean I'll probably get a 2080ti around launch if this lasts as long as the 1080 product cycle did ~2 years for those that bought em at launch
 
When is AMD supposed to release their next cards? I may have to hold on to my GTX 1060 longer than I expected :(
 
Took me about 50 tries to get an order through.

AMD better announce something, be it vega shrink or whatever, before these hit the shelf.
I'm desperate for a new card but I'd still prefer AMD because of GPP.
If it's gonna be 2019 or later? Sorry AMD I can't wait that long.
I guess I'll get a 2080 if that's the case.


It's already newly announced. Their 7nm optical shrink is just to reduce costs, and to make the parts more competitive in the compute market (where perf/watt matters). It has the exact same core config and clocks, with 3/4 the power.

Wcftech was making up rumors about it getting bumped 70% in performance, but that has yet to materialize. two months after the Computex where they promised it would magically appear.

I don't think AMD has a new architecture on the map until 2020.

Sometimes the basic model is exactly the thing you want.
For example I'd rather have the cheaper Asus turbo card than the fancy overclocked ROG variant.
Because my SFF system need and will only fit a blower card
 
Fan size I'm not sure. But it looks like EVGA has a 2 slot and 3 slot model. So maybe?
 
I really like this incredible amount of computing power, the fact there are working APIs and games are being designed for it.
That BF5 demo stuff is awesome.

But I can't justify a $1200, or even a $900 video card. So I'm hoping the 2070 will be good for delivering this on a 1200 to 1440 resolution with solid 60+ fps; I'm willing to spend $500 or so on that.

Sounds like you won't get it for 500 either, maybe 700 if you are lucky.
 
"Completely redesigned from the ground up."

Yeah, we heard that one before with the ACX cooler, and we all know how that one turned out.

Wasn't the whole pascal thing was blown out of proportion and it is user error fault?
 
not on current games. Only if you want ray tracing out the ass.


Well, if I understood correctly he did say that it can run 4K at 60fps. 1080Ti is around 30fps. If it delivers and really can be a single card 4K system then it is a mighty improvement over Pascal. Double the performance is still a massive upgrade, bigger than Maxwell to Pascal was IIRC.

If I'm not mistaken it's a compute card not a gaming card?
Many journalists said there'll be nothing new for gamers until navi, which is coming in 2H 2019 or even later.
I am not going to wait that long.:unsure:
 
Originally tried to get the EVGA, but it was limited to 1 card, and on checkout, it kept saying my session expired. Finally went ahead with NVidia's page, and that allowed two cards.
 
I can't help but lol a little wondering how long I have until I need to sell the 2080Ti to buy the Titan - Feb/March?


In the end the PNY leak being about on target - which means Titan RTX msrp at $3,000.00ea and come in the Nov./Dec. time-frame.
 
So if you have a low end RTX card, the ray tracing calculations will be done slower? So you have like 60fps game and then separately the reflections will be lagging? Or maybe it'll be an option:
'Extreme ray tracing available Only for cards with >75 jillion Jensen God Ray ops'
'Good ray tracing available Only for cards with >60 jillion Jensen God Ray ops'
'Okay ray tracing available Only for cards with >40 jillion Jensen God Ray ops'
