So, I was waiting for the new Nvidia GPU's to drop. Was waiting for the successor to the GTX 1070 (which is what I have), but I'm hearing a lot of rumor that the RTX 2070 Turing (along with the rest of the RTX line) runs slower regarding FPS vs Pascal.
OK, so Ray Tracing will be great one day, but right now, not so much. What I'm most concerned with is FPS, CUDA cores, and Tensor cores. So the Titan Volta destroys games but has not RT ability. I do want RT, but not at the expense of framerate. So what I'm asking is, will the RTX 2070 be able to outperform my GTX 1070? If they've cannibalized the RTX 20xx line, just for Ray Tracing implementation, I'll be furious! If RT is going to limit my framerate to 60 FPS, not to mention cause it to drop lower as if it were 5 years ago, then I don't want it!
I would think that Nvidia and game devs would put an RT on and off switch to allow higher framerate if you don't want it. And I don't want it if they've gutted 2070 just to make RT available. Right now, I care more about FPS, than RT cores until games look like the Star Wars demo, and then I want at least 100+ FPS in games. Should I just get the GTX 1080 Ti or will the RTX 2070 be as fast or faster in a direct comparison? Does anyone even know what an RTX 2070/2080 would get with current games in terms of framerate?
OK, so I just looked over the specs and 2070 has 2304 CUDA cores vs. 1920 for 1070, so 2070 should easily be faster. Now, we just need the ability to disable RT, if we so choose, because I'm NOT playing BFV at 30 FPS. RT is cool, but not at the expense of framerate, especially at 30 FPS. I've heard others say it was 60 FPS at the event, but weren't they using an RTX 2080 Ti too? Anyway, what do you guys think?
Oh and is Intel releasing any new CPUs besides from the low powered CPU's? I'm looking for performance, not power saving.
