Nvidia announces RTX 2000 GPU series with ‘6 times more performance’ and ray tracing

I want to build a new rig or get new cards for my old one. 32 gigs of RAM on deck i7 still good on it. Decisions Decisions :dunno:
 
Unless y'all trying to drop 2k on a PG27UQ or Predator x27, these graphics cards are overkill. 1080ti's can be had for around $500 now
 
I have this one:

Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W BX80623I72600K

Running dual / sli GPU's:

Evga GTX 760 4gb FTW
That CPU still performs well with current games but i would definitely upgrade if you're trying to get the new Turing cards since you'll get a CPU bottleneck. More games will be utilizing multiple cores so you're better off looking at a Ryzen or i7-8700k.

If you're not trying to go for 4k gaming then stick with your CPU and get a 1080.

Sounds good. I'll most likely upgrade them and then build another rig as well. Thanks for the tips
 
If the RTX 2080ti can't reliably do 4k60 in AAA titles with all settings maxed, I'll skip this generation.

Probably just a 20% improvement as usual. The fact that they didn't show any FPS benchmarks and just that Ray Tracing shit is a bit troubling. I'll stick with upgrading my card every two years.
 
Not as good as it used to be. I have to use Inspector on new games a lot.

Once my profile is set, I'm good to go. I game on a 4K monitor, so it worth it.
Cool, I was gonna pick up the x27 but I will probably hold off a year after seeing the 2000 series. I just can't go back to 60fps after 144hz at 1440p

I bet you can't, lol. I know I wouldn't want too. I want a 4K monitor at that rate. They cost 2 grand, they need to come down. Ima build me a 2990wx or whatever is new rig whenever I upgrade.

Its no need for it now, my 6950x is serving me well.
 
I was eyeing a budget friendly gaming laptop with the 1060 in it before the end of the year ... This just means it'll be even cheaper by Christmas.

I'm not a big gamer, just need 1080P to run glitch free. So to me, the tech is truly going in a great direction. Hell phones may soon be able to this shit too.... (obviously not tomorrow, however it wont be more than 10yrs either) .

Cool

6GB GTX 1060 is a helluva card. Will do 1080 easily..
 
$800 for a video card and $1000 for a phone. These tech companies need to gtfoh! the 1080 is still a great card, I would look for that on a discount.

Why is the 1080ti only $25 less than the 2080ti on Amazon. I get that this year's model is a disappointment but that still seems a bit odd to me.

Because of mining, even the older Generation video cards are holding value
 
Ray Tracing is / was already built into MS windows. The software for Ray Tracing has been there already
Ray Tracing is Not new.
These new RTX cards just have new special Hardware / chips to do Ray Tracing

AMD may have new cards coming with better hardware / chips in the spring for much less cost
If you can wait till this time next year. I will bet a dollar Nvidia & AMD will have new Winter 2019 cards that make the 2080Ti look old and tired.
