Made this thread so that we can all discuss the Nvidia announcements and anything else juicy being revealed at GamesCom 2018

EDIT 5

GeForce RTX 2080 3DMark Time Spy Benchmark Leak Approaches Titan Xp Performance


https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-3dmark-timespy-score-leaked-clocked-at-2ghz-and-beats-a... https://hothardware.com/news/geforce-rtx-2080-3dmark-timespy-benchmark-leak-titan-xp-performance


EDIT 4

Nvidia 2080 first benchmarks:

Nvidia Shares RTX 2080 Test Results: 35 - 125% Faster Than GTX 1080

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-rtx-2080-gaming-benchmarks-rasterized,37679.html

Under certain conditions, 50%< most likely across the board without the use of AI-powered anti-aliasing.

We’re not expecting to average 50%-higher frame rates across our benchmark suite. However, enthusiasts who previously speculated that Turing wouldn’t be much faster than Pascal due to its relatively lower CUDA core count weren’t taking underlying architecture into account. There’s more going on under the hood than the specification sheet suggests.

This is what I mentioned earlier. Now the 2080 Ti has almost 50% more Turing CUDA cores than the 2080, holy shit, that thing is going to be a beast.

EDIT 1
Nvidia announces QUATRO workstation cards based on Turing Technology and RTX (Real-Time Raytracing)
Interesting tidbit from Nvidia press release on new Quadros:
  • New RT Cores to enable real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions and global illumination.
  • Hardware support for USB Type-C™ and VirtualLink™(1), a new open industry standard being developed to meet the power, display and bandwidth demands of next-generation VR headsets through a single USB-C™ connector.
  • New and enhanced technologies to improve the performance of VR applications, including Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering and VRWorks Audio.

RTX Real-time rendering (rumoured to be in new Geeforce cards too) will take Movie VFX and Games to a new level of photorealism, all major engines (Unreal/Unity) will have support, including all the latest rendering engines for CGI

AI and machine learning computational magic called DLLA that takes a lower res image and upsamples it to create a super high-quality image.

Yes, everything is more £999 in the UK.

Those cheaper MSRP's peoples throw around. They are just for giggles

Exciting times indeed.

Really excited for the RTX tech to come into games, 

in VR screen space based effects like reflections, ambient occlusion and global illumination are impossible, so having dedicated real-time raytracing cores will usher a new level of realism and graphics fidelity in VR with the new series.

The problem with that is that these bells and whistles will only be available for Nvidia cards. As a developer I'm not going to waste my time having these features in my game if AMD cards can't benefit from them.
