Why the hell would you pay an extra $200 for a founders 2080ti.

Craptacular!
Jul 9, 2001

Fuck the DH
My plan was “buy the —70 card when the —80ti card launches”, but I have no idea what I’ll do now.

I was dumb enough to spend my $400 on a 1070 with a great awesome overkill cooler instead of a 1080 with a noisy loud one, so I don’t know what to do except “sell it eight months ago when crypto was sky high.” Maaaaybe I’ll swap to a 2060 but we’ll see.

I kind of just would rather get a g-sync monitor for this guy and ride him out into the glorious “can’t hit 80 FPS anymore” future.

FE is $100 higher on 2070/2080 and $200 higher on 2080 Ti, I think.

AIB partners are (for the most part) going to follow FE pricing, as usual. PNY appears to be an exception, maybe EVGA as well. But for the most part, if NVIDIA isn't selling them at MSRP, why would you?

Do not attempt to adjust your set.
How could the rumored prices be true and still sell cards? Based on the core count and boost clocks, we have GFLOPs going like:

2080ti > 1080ti > 2080 > 1080 > 2070 > 1070.

None of the top end 10 series is super bandwidth bound so the gaming performance probably follows this unless Nvidia pulled out some magic (Titan V performance suggests they didn't). You can't actually sell a 2070 for more than the current price of a 1080ti. Nobody would buy it, monopoly or not.

TBH the performance increase looks anemic, only 19% over previous gen for the Ti, 14% for the, 1080. And the latter is now 250W instead of 180. I think Nvidia has seriously blundered by wasting die space on tensor/rtx crap. They could have saved a bunch of r&d money and just did price drops on the existing GPUs.

yeah its a $100 jump for the xx80 and a $120 jump for the xx70, although i'm guessing they are going to be closer in performance than last cycle as they are using an identical memory config this time.

Looks strongly to me like they're doing the early-adopter tax again. FE cards will launch at $100-200 over MSRP, and most partners will follow with initial launch pricing.

DLSS could potentially be a big performance bump for rendering higher resolutions. Like, render at 0.5x scale, and let the tensor cores interpolate the rest, takes a ton of load off the shader cores. Pretty sure that's where the "2070 is faster than Titan XP" thing comes from.

Could that be done in Driver alone so the game doesn't have to specifically support it? If so that could be huge.

You'd have to go through that training process that Jensen was talking about, rendering a bunch of super-resolution images as a template for training, but that might be something that you could do at home for an arbitrary game, or that NVIDIA could do on their end.

I realize it'd be unlikely to go to court for a major player like NVIDIA, but I wonder what the legal implications of training a neural net that contains the "essence" of your game would be. Like, that net literally knows how to draw Witcher 3 or whatever, isn't that like a copyright violation in a box?

AMD would get annihilated by the press for demoing upscaled 4K at 60FPS on a new-gen architecture as silky smooth.

I wonder if that would be skirted by being a Local Learning sort of solution. Run the game benchmark at 4K for 30 minutes, then the game can be played at 720P and upscaled to 1080P/4K at 60FPS. That would be impressive if possible.

I told myself 700 was the hard limit, but with shipping it came out to 770 for an evga 2080.

Ah well. At least I have a displayport and don't need an adapter after all.

Now to forget about this purchase completely until 9/25 or so when it shows up...in theory.

I was planning to buy one for the energy efficiency, I am doing projects like solar power, and backpack VR (I have a bunch of Hoverboard battery packs that'll run the PC for an hour and are hot-swappable). But now I'm wondering why the TDP is higher. I wonder if it's just generally higher TDP because it's doing a lot more work and clocked higher, or if it is just higher in certain cases like when using the dedicated Ray Tracing cores?

IIRC they said want to compute the models on their own exceptionally powerful hardware and let you download ~from the cloud~ (here I am imagining a $9.99/month for a 1440p subscription and $29.99 for 4K — downloadable exclusively via Geforce Experience)

We don't know but I fear that the rasterisation part of the chip is very close to Pascal die-shrunk to 12nm running at a power target that's pretty far into diminishing returns on the efficiency curve.

It depends on what inputs NLSS uses, if it's just colour then that's easy to do at the driver level but if it uses other pixel metadata like depth or material properties then it becomes a lot harder to pull off without engine integration.

Maybe they could do "NLSS Lite" that works purely from colour though.

Passive or active? The passive DVI adapters only do single-link so they won't help if your monitor is >60hz or >1080p.
