NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series | Official Launch Event

I'm thinking Nvidia's much better pricing is partly out of respect for what AMD have coming out in November.

Hoping the 3 year old 1070 makes it to Jan-Feb next year :D

Yea I'm planning the 1070-to-3070 jump in the new year. Unless I get a Christmas bonus in which case maybe this year.

Next-gen consoles as well. Maybe even more so geared to keep PC gamers from switching.

I'm curious about the 3080Ti. I remember when the 1080Ti came out, it had close to Titan performance for a fraction of the price.

3080Ti for $800 - $850 in March next year?
Or maybe just as RDNA 2 cards launch?
 
Could I ask you guys what your upgrade strategies are? Is it better to buy a high-end card and upgrade less frequently, or to go mid-range and upgrade more frequently?

Also hyped for a 3070!

I don't think it will be the same this time around. Nvidia clearly now dropped the Titan name within this generation and replaced it with the 3090.

The 3080Ti in my opinion will be positioned between the 3080 and 3090 pending on whether there will be a Ti.

A 3080Ti is likely to be priced $899-$999.
 
If the performance is anywhere near what they claim, it looks like I'm buying a RTX 3070 next... :cool:
 
There is a lot of emphasis of Ray Tracing, but not may games use Ray Tracing, even though most graphics engines support it - and this is something Nvidia engineers probably help facilitate still leaves a lot to be desired. I dont think that this generation is going to see large scale Ray Tracing adoption.

I am curious to see what AMD is going to release, I suspect that they are going to brute force the shite out of Big Navi in order to achieve similar Ray Tracing performance, which I suspect they might not do and focus on budget 1440 performance and trying to make it a norm, and affordable.

DF's "first look" makes it seem like the 3080 is about 75-80% faster than the 2080. Based on that, I would say the 3070 will be within 10% of the 2080Ti, which is great.

RT I don't care for much, DLSS is way more useful. I'd like to see cheaper cards without RT but with DLSS

Hopefully now that the new consoles are coming out and supporting ray tracing we'll see more games that support it.

Agreed. DLSS is far more useful than RT atm. I would rather like to see them push a lower set of GTX cards with DLSS - WHICH THE 1660ti/super should have actually had and be able to push more frames at a higher resolution.

I am still trying to figure out why they added the 'hot loading' feature for the new RT cards and then give the 3070 8GB of ram, so if you buy a 3070 you have a feature you cannot leverage because you are physically limited by the amount of RAM on the card.

Easy fix though, double the amount of RAM in your machine.

I dont think its that important to be honest. I'd like to test how Ray Tracing affects latency in frame delivery. RT already incurs a performance hit when it is being used, so surely it will negatively affected, sure if all of your cumulative hardware can deliver 60fps at 1440, but with a crappy latency - what is the point?

At the moment, no one knows how Nvidia Reflex works - so bringing that up is moot point for the moment. It may need engine support etc etc

Well, yes but I think the next wave of games will have much better support for RT. They showed off Fortnite, COD, and Cyberpunk 2077 with RT support. RT is not a gimmick, it just needs to be implemented in games without such a performance hit as it took with the RTX 2xxx cards.

I think if you really want to use the rtx 3xxx cards you're gonna need to upgrade EVERYTHING in your PC. You'll want a PCI-E 4.0 motherboard, an M.2 SSD, much faster and more ram, a top end CPU, otherwise something will bottleneck it.

Same here, I'm also a 1070 user looking to make the jump to a 3070, I'm already saving for it :D

My wife's PC will inherit my 1070 :)

I figured if I upgrade carefully and sell my stuff I can get away with upgrading from my current platform to a faster 3700x cpu and 3070 for around 450 euros. I'm all in.

That is going to be prohibitively difficult if you use Intel hardware. Even if you have a K skew CPU AFAIK there chipset support on the current Z490 is spotty at best. AMD have PCIe Gen 4 support on the CPU at the moment right? I forget the hardware race is getting a bit much for me to follow and retain everything I read
