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.

Mum just phoned 'can't get the TV on'... happens once every few months, that's the trouble with router/digi-box/TV combo, they're not really old people friendly and with her being a footy fan I sorted her out with BT/Sky sports & she was getting a bit antsy cos Liverpool are on tonight.


Anyway, I think I managed not to sound at all frustrated with the instructions... didn't want to miss this announcement. Bless her.


Edit: here we go

He just said that everything "leaked" is WRONG ... "you will be pleasantly surprised"

That nervous laughter when people can't tell if he's joking when he says it's called GTX 1180 instead of RTX 2080.

Raytracing will be a game changer for VR, Reflections/Shadows/Ambient Occlusion ... something that currently doesn't work very well or at all with rasterisation and screen space effects.

my twitch feed is getting a little jerky, any of you guys mind closing your feeds?

If I knew how far to skip ahead to get past this ray tracing theory, I'd close my feed for a bit to help you out. 🙂
(I teach ray tracing for an optimisation class)

it's ok now... LZ's link is much better than the Verge's, should have known

 Isn´t he basically saying:
 Life is hard, but we all work to make it easier.
So is rendering ray tracing, but we have begun working on it ?
