Nvidia and GamesCom MEGATHREAD.RTX 2080/Ti (FIRST BENCHMARKS COMING OUT) NDA lifted.

[LZoltowski]

Made this thread so that we can all discuss the Nvidia announcements and anything else juicy being revealed at GamesCom 2018

EDIT 5

GeForce RTX 2080 3DMark Time Spy Benchmark Leak Approaches Titan Xp Performance

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-3dmark-timespy-score-leaked-clocked-at-2ghz-and-beats-a... https://hothardware.com/news/geforce-rtx-2080-3dmark-timespy-benchmark-leak-titan-xp-performance


EDIT 4
Nvidia 2080 first benchmarks:

Nvidia Shares RTX 2080 Test Results: 35 - 125% Faster Than GTX 1080

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-rtx-2080-gaming-benchmarks-rasterized,37679.html

Under certain conditions, 50%< most likely across the board without the use of AI-powered anti-aliasing.

We’re not expecting to average 50%-higher frame rates across our benchmark suite. However, enthusiasts who previously speculated that Turing wouldn’t be much faster than Pascal due to its relatively lower CUDA core count weren’t taking underlying architecture into account. There’s more going on under the hood than the specification sheet suggests.

This is what I mentioned earlier. Now the 2080 Ti has almost 50% more Turing CUDA cores than the 2080, holy shit, that thing is going to be a beast.


EDIT 3
Here is how to watch:

• UK: 5PM BST
• Central Europe: 6PM CEST
• East Coast US: 12PM EDT
• West Coast US: 9AM PDT
• Japan: 3AM JST Tuesday 21 August

EDIT 2
RTX 2080 at the Cologne event is pretty much confirmed in 2 more days!

Nvidia has posted a trailer/teaser that has some interesting clues about the next gen cards.

EDIT 1
Nvidia announces QUATRO workstation cards based on Turing Technology and RTX (Real-Time Raytracing)
Interesting tidbit from Nvidia press release on new Quadros:

• New RT Cores to enable real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions and global illumination.

• Hardware support for USB Type-C™ and VirtualLink™(1), a new open industry standard being developed to meet the power, display and bandwidth demands of next-generation VR headsets through a single USB-C™ connector.
• New and enhanced technologies to improve the performance of VR applications, including Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering and VRWorks Audio.

Where and when did you pre-order? 

[shadowfrogger]

If the RTX 2070 can achieve 60fps with raytracing, then under the same raytracing settings. The 2080 ti should get 85+fps as it almost has 50% more rtcores.  It Nvidia release a 2070 that can't manage 60+ fps. That will hurt everyone a lot.

this monday, just after the presentation was over.... did it on the nvidia site... the 2080 ti FE.

I live in Canada, so with the conversion, the taxes and the shipping, its 1900$ 😞

I'm not so concerned with noise i just want the coolest so i can OC more, what is the best card?

I'm not sure - Asus, MSI etc are still working on optimal base clocks and mem speeds for factory oc'ed cards, so info is not yet available. Guess you have to wait until after the NDA is lifted. And then there's the silicon lottery 😉 

Both Asus and MSI already have their Factory OC'd cards ready, they will be released at the same time as the non Overclocked version. As for the coolest, that would be MSI. Not only are their Twin/Tri Frozr coolers silent, they also keep the cards really cool. Unless thats not the OC cards you meant ofcourse.

I though zetech normally have the fastest cards? I would of though they would do the best cooling?

I don't know who makes the fastest cards and personally never heard of Zetech cards. All i know is that MSI twin frozr and tri frozr fans have been very well received as one of the best around compared to other big companies like Asus etc.

Both Asus and MSI are companies I buy the most tech for my pc from so I might be a tiny bit biased anyway 😛

FTFY....

From one Canadian to another....that's highway robbery.  Couldn't we just trade them some Maple Syrup or something eh? 😄

Hmmmmm so apparently dlss is not really 4k at All to get the performance it upscales. The more I hear about it the more concerned I am.
Imo this is the next Fermi. Expensive, hot and disappointing performance but at the same time an important 1st step in what will be a revolutionary change for GPUs.

Guys these chips bridge the gap between the movie industry and the gaming community. 
Movies are using raytracing in order to create ultimate realism.
I'm sure you've seen the stories about how it took 10 years to make the movie Avatar because the VR rendering technology took several months running 24 hours a day for a per frame images.  
Companies like VRAY, Redshift, Arnold, and Octane are using raytracing technology to render photorealistic images that are so incredibly realistic but require several hours for a single image.
This is what's changing.
The gaming industry is getting that same raytracing technology but instead of taking several hours this is happening in REALTIME.
So companies like EPIC with the Unreal Engine 4, is leveraging this technology and we are at a place which allows real movie footage and photorealistic CGI to work together simultaneously to create unbelievable experiences INSTANTLY in realtime in a game engine.

Best to wait for benchmarks before judging these things I think. We hardly know anything about them so far.

Yep. Super Sampling is about rendering more pixels than on the screen then down scaling.

DLSS seems to be rendering lower res then up scaling using neural networks trained to fill in the gaps.

Although I guess they could upscale with DLSS to higher than panel res then down scale to panel res. But that seems like a waste.

There's lots of examples of similar techniques.

What is this talk of upscaling? Do you have a quote? 

Do you mean the ray traced images are upscaled? Or are you talking about the DLSS performance bump?
