RTX sounds kinda dumb, so I'm hoping they stick with the iconic GTX.

If the Nvidia Big Format Gaming Displays arrive to rave reviews and somewhat acceptable prices, I might consider going that route and finally buying flagship graphics card(s) to power 4K.

Going to take some serious modding to mount a 2080 in your Ivy Bridge CPU socket. Probably not worth it.

I don't think he implied that he's keeping the CPU or mobo?

I'm still running an i5-3570K. Not a problem for gaming at 1080p as it still shreds all the latest games on max settings with 50-60+ fps with my 6GB GTX 1060, but I do notice problems for work stuff.

I really hope the RTX/GTX 2080 can single-handedly slay 4K, as that would provide a lot of incentive to finally get a 4K monitor and fresh hardware across the board. The GTX 1080 really impressed with its gains, so I'm hoping Nvidia does that again.

The R is for Ray Tracing. That's what they are marketing now.

Nvidia are pushing ray tracing big time...probably the reason for the rebrand.

They have been talking about it since March, RTX Technology. This is the biggest architecture update since CUDA GPU in 2006.

Now that there is a DirectX® Raytracing (DXR) API, what is AMD going to do about it?

Ray Tracing supports OptiX, Microsoft DXR and Vulkan.

Lose some more market share, probably. Polaris got them up to a quarter of the market in 2017...Steam says they're at 14% now (July 2018).

Expect more wallet rape from Nvidia for awhile till AMD's graphics division has a Zen moment.

I was speaking more of the technology forefront. You know, Un, Dos, Tress.
