ering technique, but we’ll need to test the RTX 2080 fully to see how well it performs for 4K / 60 in the modern games that launch without support for ray tracing or DLSS.

lies...we already saw tombraider working like 1060 would.

Lies? Maybe. But that's what marketing is about. Find a fact that can be proven true for whatever context in court and create a message around that and make it sound like it applies to all their shit. This works until they get red-handed but they won't because they did not state that this card will deliver the 50% performance boost with all bells and whistles enabled - and at that point, it's no longer a lie, is it?
You will also notice that they did not define what performance means. It's obviously not FPS - I am guessing it's the raw estimated performance of all cores on the card, at maximum clock speeds. Which does not mean shit unless you can use all cores (including AI and raytracing cores) at maximum clocks speeds - which is not going to be the case for a long time.

On this RTX thingie.
They are running out of steam (much like Intel) and getting competition from AMD, so they want to create a new market for themselves.
Personally, I think all this AI marketing nonsense will blow over in a while, along with raytracing.
Raytracing has its use, but not in the way they want to sell it to gamers.
They are trying to do the right thing but they are using the wrong tools.

So, it's a bit like that card for the coin miners: there is a minority that can appreciate these new features because they use them. Gamers? No so much. (Read: not at all.)

well, they could compare tensor cores performance 1080 vs 2080 and say 2080 is infinitely faster. And yes, they (nVidia) don't measure performance in fps anymore but they did not describe what the other method measures. Then they proceed to put up images with graphs like the one in the article. They are measuring the "new" performance. Now, that would be FINE if they compared 2xxx vs 2xxx cards, but they go for the pascal generation and lie. Lie, because they didn't tell what they are measuring.

As for AMD, they are not a competition to them at all. Hence the new pricing (mining craze like prices from the get-go). Only competition nVidia has atm is their older Pascal line.

As for coin card, idk what you are talking about. If you are talking about cards like P106 etc. they are fine for gaming, they just can't be the primary display cards. But they dont make sense for gaming because they cost the same as the gaming variants.

Bet you Koogle has it pre-ordered....


The similarities of his thinking is like Stumpus. Dumb as shit and needs to up his ego bragging rights.
