That a 2080 Ti is a 4k/60fps card even though it's not...? Oooookay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 I would argue that the 2080ti is more or less a 4K card. What it is not is an ultra maxed 4K card. It will however run about 95% of all games at 60fps/ultra with the exception of a few newer and un-optimized games (read as Ubisoft open world and ports not tweaked to the hilt). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I mean, if the argument is that 4k/30fps is totally fine and making graphical sacrifices and sacrifices in resolution by using dynamic resolution to achieve that is acceptable then an XboneX is totally the perfect thing for you. I choose high-end PC gaming because I don't want to make said sacrifices. 3 minutes ago, Mr.Vic20 said: I would argue that the 2080ti is more or less a 4K card.

When you say a 4k/60 card it's assumed that you're talking about maxed graphical fidelity outside of maybe things like AA. I could technically run pretty much everything at 4k/60fps on my 980 Tis if I run in low settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 In the vast majority of games you'll get better than 60fps with all of the settings maxed out. There are only a handful of outliers that don't make it over 4K/60/Ultra and that's always been the case. There will always be games that for whatever reason, just defy the available performance curve. I won't hold that against the 20xx series, as I never have against any other generation of cards.

stepee Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I’m quite happy with the 2080ti performance, better than titan v performance is what I was hoping for, biggest disappointment is I probably need to wait another week. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point - those outliers are AAA games that are releasing basically alongside the card. I remember when the Titan V and whatever was prior came out and we all exclaimed "OMG finally 4k/60!" as it ran everything currently available at the time at 4k/60 except for shit games like Ghost Recon which we don't count because shit game = shit. I'm disappointed that the 2080 Ti is not the same - if a game came out 6+ months from now, yea, whatever, I wouldn't bat an eye. But, for it not to run the newest Tomb Raider at a solid 4k/60 is a little redonk IMO considering the equally redonk price tag. Again, I'm totally fine with saying it's almost a 4k/60 card or even that it's pretty much a 4k/60 card. But it needs those qualifiers as it's not a flat-out 4k/60 card going by the benches of the current games. SAD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hee hee, well remember Tomb Raider's port team decided to add in Lara's "Hair Demands". IF you tone that down just one notch, your frames will shoot over 60+ as shown in a couple other bench marks from other reviews. That said, I take your point about the performance, but really its the price point of the cards that is what hurts here. IF Nvidia had chosen to simple drop more cores in these cards and skip the tensor cores we'd be in a different place, but I'm honestly glad they did not. Its time to move on to some new tech. This is PC, we try things, even when they are hard for a while. Admittedly, we've enjoyed years of brute force superiority on the platform, but frankly, shit is simply getting harder at these higher resolutions. So while I loath the price point, I like that solutions like DLSS are being offered because if adopted or something similar through open standards is adopted, then we will see this generation of cards take off!

The crazy and annoying this is... Is it legit just Lara's hair with hair works and not like 10 other things on screen being affected?

The issue is that it's not and/or barely achieving 4k/60 on current games. Your first reply to me you even quoted me as saying it's still under or barely above 60fps at 4k. New games that embrace DLSS will be more 4K viable than top end games at this exact moment (unless they're patched for DLSS). That's not to mention other features that come with the new card that may be used to gain performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run my V with a 150Mhz overclock on core and memory and it still stays around 54 FPS! But toggle down that hair and boom, life is better! Nixxes is suppose to be patching soonish though!

So I was thinking, is it actually possible for the DLSS and Ray tracing to run together? Because if DLSS is dynamically altering asset details is it not totally screwing up the per pixel ray tracing?

The things I think about while putting my pants on, poorly, in the morning! Unless the ray tracing pipe is also consuming tensor cores for parts of its rendering and takes too many, yes, they can be run together DLSS is quite independent from how the base-level rendering is done; whether it be pure raster, or otherwise. All the neural net is based on is "here is an input image." When you train the net, you can train it using images that used ray tracing to generate both the low-res and high-res images, at which point it learns to upscale for that setting. So all it means to use DLSS with ray tracing, is that when Nvidia trains the net, it uses images with ray tracing rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Also, just to give a taste of why DLSS is only the beginning, you can train the net to do all kinds of additional things, not just super scaling. That means you can have really compute-intensive post-processing techniques and then train a net to do it in a more efficient way. It will be really interesting to see how creative devs get with this. This many tensor cores is a wild card, but it could lead to some truly awesome stuff.

There has to be a little fuzziness to this though, no? Otherwise my 980 isn't a 1080/60 card, because I can find games with some really demanding high-end features that cause it to be sub 60 for a fair chunk of the time.

It's no longer a 1080/60 card, no. I would certainly say that it's good for 1080p/60 in most games, though (or a "mid-range card" where sacrifices should be expected). If 1080p/60 (ultra) is your goal for the next 12-months I wouldn't recommend less than a 1070/980 Ti... But, that card (your 980) is 4 years old now.
