Apparently with ray tracing enabled, even the 2080Ti struggles to achieve 50 fps at 1080p, going by what was seen at gamescom. (that's what I've heard)
I dunno if overclocking might solve that or if something else played a part but it is still a new feature and it'll probably be improved in the next generation of GPUs.
Skip to 3:02 for the gameplay footage.
I wonder if it would be really stupid to upgrade to a 2080ti considering I just got a 1080ti a few months ago.
How worth it is "ray tracing" and even without that, how much improvement will there be under normal circumstances.
I am waiting on ASUS's 144hz 4k Gsync monitor. If the 2080ti can power that monitor as good as my 1080ti can power my 1440p monitor, then I might consider it.
That is something that I can relate to. The "high" resolution and high frame rate requirements of VR could be the compelling reason to get the 2080 cards. But until we see some benchmarks in relevant racing titles in VR, I'm skeptic. Sure it probably going to be faster than last gen card but not in fps/dollar if the graphs from Nvidia is true. That's not progress, that's Nvidia getting a fatter wallet.Will probably upgrade my 1080Ti if the 2080Ti is fast enough. My Vive Pro kicks the 1080Ti's ass at times during sim racing. I need more grunt
I'm going to wait to see how my GTX970 performs with ACC. After that, wait for benchmarks and reviews and only then decide if the new RTX2000 series is worth it to replace the GTX970.
I guess you are right. But it is not a cheap card and sources on the internet talk about the release of a 7nm card 18 months from now.Even without benchmarks I can tell you it's worth replacing the 970 in favor of a 20x0.
It depends. 970 still hold decent fps in most games at 1080p resolution.I guess you are right
Vega 7nm will arrive next spring, afaik.the release of a 7nm card 18 months from now
