The issue here is that whatever they have added to increase the value might have delayed relevance like GCN suffered. Raw performance increases with dx12 vulkan and dx11 are more important.
50%-70% almost never happens.
Really 25-30% is the typical generation and it will be enough for lots of people, and not everyone is on 1000 series cards.
This generation packs something beyond typical performance upgrade. The most interesting thing will what happens with the RT/Tensor HW going forward.
Yea I'm not even considering RT in my upgrade path. I'm just curious of the performance compared to what I have.Proper and full RT in games is so far off that implementing it in next week's cards is a mere sales gimmick. I care exactly 0% about it on the cards. The new Ti it's likely performance increase over my 1080, however, may be very useful.

I've been spoiled with my 1440p gsync monitor but wouldn't mind going 4k it's just a pain selling the old monitor and I'd have to go with no gsync and 60hz so for now I'll wait to see performance results.Yup! The question now is when I need that increase... So I'm no real hurry to buy.

2 days ago rumors say 2.5GHz boost clocks for Turing.
Today its down to 2GHz boost clocks.
I'm guessing the closer to release the more accurate the rumors lol.
I fully appreciate your tone. It seems like this is the unfortunate truth. I'd gladly drop $1000 for a 4k high refresh rate display and $800-1000 for a card that was fast enough to drive it, but nvidia is pricing all of the things we could want into the stratosphere.
Well this isn't exactly a surprise, the pricing and lack of competition. The writing was on the wall. That's why 3 years ago I went with a new 1080p 144hz display even though 1440p or 4k was available. The price on the monitors was only a small part of that. I didn't want to spend thousands on upcoming gpus. Now I can easily live with either used top cards or the new cards at the $300 price point.
Not if the chip is a lot faster at the same boost clocks...2ghz boost clocks would be sad given Pascal already does that no problem.
This list/GPU-Z boost clocks they show are considerably lower than the cards actual boost clocks on current cards. I imagine the same will be true going forward. Official 2K boost clocks would be about 300mhz higher than the current official boost clocks. This still may mean there is a significant increase over the current generation.2ghz boost clocks would be sad given Pascal already does that no problem.
The listed boost clock of the 2080ti is lower than the listed boost clock of the 1080ti, so the 2080ti would have to overclock a little better than the 1080ti just to stay even in overclock speeds.
I'm sure the all new SM is faster than the old one.I've heard we can't really go off of clocks alone and have to consider cores and everything else. Hopefully some benchmarks soon.

“Turing-based GPUs feature a new streaming multiprocessor (SM) architecture that adds an integer execution unit executing in parallel with the floating point datapath, and a new unified cache architecture with double the bandwidth of the previous generation. Combined with new graphics technologies such as variable rate shading, the Turing SM achieves unprecedented levels of performance per core.”I am betting it's highly variable, depending on how it was coded in previous games, and of course writing code to take specific advantage of changes.
We also played a variety of other PC games that shall not be named, and saw performance run in excess of 100 fps at 4K and Ultra settings.
In terms of frame rate, Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at a mostly consistent 50-57 fps, which is impressive giving the game is running on a single GPU and in such an early state – on top of all the new ray tracing techniques.

Yea does that mean they used 2 2080ti's??The whole paragraph suggests something worrisome however.
GPUs plural. Wouldn't a 1080Ti SLI setup perform similarly?
