Doing GI on RT is something I didn't think we'd have for years yet. Looks gorgeous too. Not just light/shadow updates, but the way the diffuse lighting naturally colours objects on the scene too.
They're not using the tensor cores to denoise the rt so you'd assume you can use DLSS as well.

By Wahabipapangus Go To PostMetros is full on cummiesEven the original 2033 still puts newly released games to shame. Can’t wait to replay that shit in 4K.
By Laboured Go To PostWe're mere hours away from the Great GPU Outrage, 2018.
hyped
'Nvidia's Turing offers represent the biggest shift in PC graphics technology we've seen for a long time, possible even stretching back to the arrival of GeForce 3 architecture back in the day. '
By Laboured Go To PostThe 2080ti seems super geared towards high 4K performance over everything else.
:)
4k60 is officially here
By Smokey Go To Post:)

No, Smokey. 4K144hz is finally here
Edit. Those 1080 numbers are fucking bogus though. I do not get 60FPS at 4K in Siege with my 1080 unless I play on lowest everything
You should be running a 4k or at least ultrawide 3440x1440 display before upgrading to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
💀💀💀
I wonder what res they mean with R6:S when they say '4K' though. Doesn't it use like quarter / half res. upscaled tech?

Temporal anti-aliasing. That got patched out over a year ago and replaced with TAA and a resolution scaler for the end user to configure how they like. If they're running an unpatched version of the game, which is entirely possible, then that's the only way the 1080 numbers look feesible to me.
Hmm, I'll eat my own words here. Last time I tried 4K I used DSR and I found it to be really choppy. Using the TAA4X at 100% however is much smoother and looks just as good.
Settings I left at my default. I only changed the TAA/resolution for these.
DSR results

WHAT A TIME
By Smokey Go To PostWHAT A TIME
It's beautiful, mang
As expected, the 2080 is barely faster than the 1080 Ti. I was telling my friend to wait, but since he doesn't care about Ray Tracing.. i think im going to go ahead and say save the money and get a 1080 Ti.

I'm almost shocked by how bad of a buy the 2080 seems. £600 for a GOOD 1080Ti vs £730 for basic 2080, that shit's fucking absurd.
The 2080Ti at least lives up to what I expected from it. It's expensive, I'd even say overpriced since they're definitely going to release a Turing Titan at some point. The performance gains in 4K though are exactly what I wanted out of it. It completely validates the push for high refresh rate 4K gaming.
The Turing based Titan is going to be really overpriced.
Turing better have a much shorter lifetime than Pascal, they would have to make a giant GPU to get further gains and them going with the 102 variant right off the bat would suggest they won't be doing that. I see why though, could you imagine the backlash if the 2080 was their new flagship?

I mean, the Titan V was/is £3000. They could sell the Titan T for £2000 and market it as a bargain in that regard.
By HottestVapes Go To PostI mean, the Titan V was/is £3000. They could sell the Titan T for £2000 and market it as a bargain in that regard.It wouldn't have the excellent FP64 performance that Volta has, so they would be back to that weird market where it's too expensive for gaming and not good enough for (some at least) compute. Maybe Titan V was just the weird out-lier to that line and not where it's going.
Obviously there will be a TU100 though.
The 2080Ti lives up to the hype and is perfect for me, the target demo for that card. Getting 4k60 max in every game on these beta drivers and no DLSS is great. Expensive, yep. Worth it if you can afford it? Yep.
got my first 4k 144 hz monitor tingle today, first time in a while I've got an itch about a PC related upgrade
still too expensive though

Yeah, I gotta agree with Linus, Jayztwocents and Gamers Nexus, as well as some of the posts above.
The performance numbers are definitely there for the 2080 Ti, while the 2080 just doesn't work from a price to performance standpoint, if you're coming from a 1080. Which unfortunately makes this a disappointing launch for me.
If RTX & DLSS were a thing in today's games and the performance hit (of the former) wasn't painfully substantial, which remains to be proven / seen, and if I had a 3440x1440 panel that goes beyond 100hz ... then I might've found some way to justify spending ~450€ on a new graphics card (~850€ for a 2080 - ~400€ from selling my 1080). Maaaybe. As things stand right now ... yeah, no. It just doesn't make sense.
What's even worse is that this is unlikely to change in 12 months time. Nvidia almost certainly won't be releasing any new enthusiast-level cards, if not something crazy like a new Titan, 2080 family prices will likely stay the same, while the value of my 1080 continues to go down. So I guess I'm staying put for the foreseeable future, unless RTX / DLSS become so widespread and awesome that I'll have no other choice than to bite.

The 2080 isn't having a good showing. And it explains why they didn't tout any performance numbers for it.
Curious when my 2080ti will ship though. Moving forward I'll be moving my 1060 to backup status and do what I always did when I was in the high end GPU game -- sell and pay the difference for the next series of cards.
In the meantime 4k60+ finally.

If I wanted to scratch the upgrade itch and maximize the experience on my Predator X34A, I'd be looking at a used 1080ti. Can be had for 550-600€ around here, which would mean spending 150-170€ bottom line. Half less than what I'd be parting with, if I went the 2080 route, for about the same non-RTX performance. Almost exactly what I would've paid extra for a 1080ti over my current 1080 ~18 months ago, before the mining craze began.
Basically just a delayed purchase. Well, fuck, now I'm thinking about it.

I've had that tingle for some time now. I talk myself in and out of the purchase multiple times a day.

Waiting for more information on the AIB 2080Ti's to come out, and possibly may wait to see if the Acer XB273K lacks the fan since I'd take a monitor without a fan in it over a monitor with FALD and HDR10.

i've never heard the fan during use. only time is when i shut everything off and i guess it was still going, and i faintly heard it.
By Zabojnik Go To PostWhat's he upgrading from?1070. Wants to run DCS in VR better but not spend $1200.
I hope there are AIB 2080 Ti's close to that $1000 mark.
So apprently we've only seen the base form of DLSS in action so far, which upsacles from 1440p and in some cases produces a better image than 4K native due to artefacting cased by common TAA..
We haven't even seen the almighty DLSS x2 yet.
We also haven't seen DLSS in action with actual games, with a free-look camera. Let's see how it holds up.
By Smokey Go To Posti've never heard the fan during use. only time is when i shut everything off and i guess it was still going, and i faintly heard it.
I'm fussy, m80. It took some doing, but I've tuned the fan curves and fan choices of my PC to the point that I can hear a pin drop a mile away while it's running at full load. I'd end up tearing either or those monitors apart and replacing the fan with a Noctua, even if it barely makes a noise in the first place.
Eurocom confirms that Intel i9-9900K and i7 9700K are soldered
Eurocom, a creator of high-end gaming and workstations laptops, has confirmed that Intel's upcoming i9-9900K and i7-9700K will ship with a soldered IHS, allowing the company's upcoming consumer flagships to offer better thermal performance than their predecessors.
The company also noted that they had Intel's new processors in-house of product testing, confirming that their motherboards required a BIOS update to support Intel's latest Coffee Lake flagships. Without a supported BIOS file, 300 series motherboards will not post.
The use of a solder-based thermal interface between Intel's CPU die and IHS reverses Intel's long-term decision to abandon solder on their mainstream desktop platforms with Ivy-bridge, creating the process of delidding amongst overclocking enthusiasts and users who demanded the coolest running and quietest systems. EUROCOM also confirmed that their Sky X9C, X7C and X4C notebooks would support both Intel's i9-9900K and i7-9700K processors.

Thanks AMD
By Smokey Go To PostGreat. Release date info ffs.
You don’t know already? It’s next month. Reviewers already have their samples but the NDA doesn’t lift till the middle of October
By Laboured Go To PostWhat's the socket?
From what I’ve read, same as CoffeeLake. Existing Z370 boards will require a BIOS update and Z390 boards will work out of the box.
