cool tech though

2018-08-20 17:17:15 UTC  

small chance the 2070 could be comparable to 1080 ti for slightly less

2018-08-20 18:06:40 UTC  

more shekels for jensen

2018-08-20 18:07:20 UTC  

its basically identical to the 1080ti in terms of cuda and hash power

2018-08-20 18:07:25 UTC  

yep

2018-08-20 18:07:32 UTC  

so it isnt worth it for mining literally at all

2018-08-20 18:07:37 UTC  

but muh raytracing and shadows

2018-08-20 18:07:42 UTC  

fuck the gaming

2018-08-20 18:07:42 UTC  

still though i need to see benchmarks

2018-08-20 18:07:45 UTC  

i wanted more h/s

2018-08-20 18:08:07 UTC  

and that chink that shilled muh GTX 1180 in the beginning

2018-08-20 18:08:11 UTC  

was memeing

2018-08-20 18:08:16 UTC  

there ISNT a 1180 at all

2018-08-20 18:08:21 UTC  

lyin ass lil chinko

2018-08-20 18:08:22 UTC  

ye

2018-08-21 00:20:35 UTC  

fuck this RTX bullshit

2018-08-21 00:20:43 UTC  

im finally taking the FPGA pill.

2018-08-21 00:20:51 UTC  

gonna build a sick rig

2018-08-21 00:49:19 UTC  

i feel like they are focusing on raytracing and all that excess to drive away miners

2018-08-21 00:49:33 UTC  

which i kind of feel like is the right move

2018-08-21 00:49:45 UTC  

they should just start developing gpus specifically for mining

2018-08-21 01:35:30 UTC  

Nah, it's just good old customer milking and gimmicks

2018-08-21 02:10:53 UTC  

true

2018-08-21 02:11:28 UTC  

but i also think the giant 1000 series stockpile is partly why the 2000s are so expensive

2018-08-21 16:22:54 UTC  

Looks like the one guy with viable leaks was right

2018-08-21 16:24:59 UTC  

the one Jim showed on his channel?

2018-08-21 16:25:05 UTC  

ye he was right

2018-08-21 16:25:21 UTC  

But I'm not gonna say that $700 for the RTX2080 is bad considering performance jump that's expected over the GTX 1080Ti. Aside from the fact that it does so many operations per second, it is also offering something completely new and the fact that they are offering the new tensor cores for the higher end of their gaming lineup is nothing worth complaining about.

2018-08-21 16:26:32 UTC  

Anyways, if AMD creates any competition which I'm doubtful about for anything other than budget cards, then Nvidia will lower prices quicker (or try dropping out old stock for lower prices; as in the pascal cards that are supposedly overstocked)

2018-08-21 16:26:38 UTC  

the ray tracing is just a gimmick

2018-08-21 16:26:41 UTC  

like PhysX

2018-08-21 16:27:23 UTC  

and theres nothing a 1060 cant handle, if we are talking about 1080p 60fps or even 1440p

2018-08-21 16:27:34 UTC  

i see no point honestly

2018-08-21 16:27:38 UTC  

PhysX just made decal effects, ray tracing changes the entire lighting system to render shadows, light and realistic reflections, ambient occlusion all in one package without needing those old filters

2018-08-21 16:27:51 UTC  

physX had nothing to do with decals

2018-08-21 16:27:56 UTC  

it was physics feature

2018-08-21 16:28:03 UTC  

now its dead, no game uses it

2018-08-21 16:28:08 UTC  

>shoots wall >wall explodes with lots of debris

2018-08-21 16:28:43 UTC  

Lots of games use basic physx but don't usually have multiple presets like other games

2018-08-21 16:28:56 UTC  

also ray tracing is demanding as hell, its not worth it

2018-08-21 16:29:05 UTC  

you can see it on the Metro Demo
