Just keep looking at these graphs, eventually it will hit you

Hmm the only thing that could save the 2000 series is how well Ray Tracing and DLSS is implemented, DLSS is meant to give you up to double the framerate...

[theriddick]

ok, well some reviewers were saying ti had gddr5x..

[theriddick]

What about DLSS? how can we test that under Linux?

Also the 2080Ti has GDRR5x, is this a bad thing? why not GDDR6?

[theriddick]

Wonder if they will update the ARCH 6.0.1 release to 7 or just add another llvm to the repo for people to install/overwrite older versions themselves...

[theriddick]

Hopefully some DLSS and Ray Tracing Demos or tests come to linux, (or support?)

DLSS has peaked my interests in getting more fps out of 4k...

[theriddick]

Yeah it seems like forever, I tried building 8.0SVN but it just failed to compile on my antergos setup, even when setting larger build area. I read it...

[theriddick]

I wonder when AMD is going to show off these 7nm VEGA cards, it will probably be a demo of the workstation one again, with gaming cards showing up sometime...

[theriddick]

However you want to paint it mate, at the end of the day GSYNC monitors DO have lower latency and better frame smoothing thresholds.

I however...

[theriddick]

Its well know that Gsync has a lower limit of frame insertion (smoothing) then freesync without flickering. Gsync is able to insert more frames to the...

Google is your friend, sometimes it pays to research something before opening your mouth.

[theriddick]

Well Gsync does have larger headroom, and its technically better but not ideally practical because it adds cost to monitors and also has some limitations...

[theriddick]

I said 8core, and whats with ray tracing? who cares? only nvidia, and only them.

[theriddick]

8 core just needs more die space, which 7nm offers. That and power efficiencies....

[theriddick]

I don't think AMD needs to focus on making ray tracing a priority, already they have a open source initiative and their FP16 compute is good (double FP32,...

[theriddick]

Yes I'm thinking we may see it with 7nm Zen 2 arch....

[theriddick]

How about they support Pascal properly first? If your using Nouveau and your gaming, your doing it VERY wrong when it comes to NVIDIA cards!
...

[theriddick]

Maybe inline with their 7nm Vega card launch?, so their a more attractive offer under Linux I'd hope.

[theriddick]

Vega cards are certainly capable of performing, even faster then 1080ti in some places, but are being let down by either drivers or absolutely no optimizations...

[theriddick]

Not all games pull on this nvapi thing. You can also fake the nvapi files or perhaps valve will get them working fine with proton.
