Gaming Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti announced and priced

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Wow. Thats quite an increase at higher resolutions

 

[Chester Copperpot]

So I'm assuming upgrading from a 980ti to a 2080ti will get me 61 frames instead of 60 in Classic WoW?

 

[Grabber]

My 1070 pays WoW just fine.

1080Ti in the future, depending on price.

 

[Mook]

WoW is like 20 years old....why are you guys using that as a benchmark for new cards?

That gif is even worse than your joke.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

You still play WoW....

 

[Grabber]

Yup, still play WoW.

GTA 5 on PC, Blops III, BF4, etc.

Despite being old, graphics have been vastly updated since their launch and now require somewhat higher end cards.

New FFXIV takes a decent card to run on max graphics as well.

Ill just add more rgb lights to my case to make it seem faster.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I may upgrade from my non-Ti 980 to a 2080 depending on future benchmarks and reviews.

I skipped the 1080 because it just wasn't enough of a performance gap.

For a while ATi made some of the best damned single card solutions around.

I usually pick the single card solutions that are lower power, lower noise.

Right now the ATi's are comparable to Nvidia's 1000 series, but often have higher heat output, and are more power hungry units.


AMD for a while was trading shot for shot with Intel, however, they didn't have the capitol to keep up with Intel's die shrinking. It costs a crap ton of money to spool up a Fab and deal with the initially very high QC issues.

The reason I went with the nVidia last round was because the ATi had nothing to offer compared to a 980 when I was buying.

AMD chips themselves are really catching up and forcing Intel's hand. Which is win/win for us.

2 weeks strong with my new server setup and not a problem. *knock on wood*

Ryzen is definitely in the running for when I upgrade my Plex server. The massively multi-core setup is perfect for server and workstation applications vs the single threaded stuff that gaming benefits from.

Only problem is that support in FreeBSD for Ryzen is spotty, and my 4790k is still overkill for 1080p stuff. I have it hard limited to 5 Transcodes, but the 4790k will do 8 without hiccup.

Huge fan of the ryzen stuff. Both cpus i have run pretty much 24/7 and both have been great. I am glad I saved the money instead of going intel.
