They'll sell like hotcakes. Who will not be buying? (me most likely).

I wont buy. Will only look into a 2070 or a 2060 Itx version for my Lz7 case.

I always get excited by GPU launches but this time I don't feel a thing. Waiting for the the real thing, the Ti.

OK will do my little waffle here.
Been reading around today, and I think some of the guys posting on here have just nailed it. Why would a single coder bother even coding something that is not only proprietary to the PC, but proprietary to one single GPU. Seriously, what is the motive?
So that means that basically any one actually coding for RT will need serious help from Nvidia. Financial, too, I would guess (kinda like FO4 etc).
I just don't see it happening (like mGPU explicit blah blah. No one has coded jack for that !).
So yeah they have their "killer app" to bring people in (Metro) and then what?

We are decades away from seeing actually real time Ray tracing utilised in games possibly a touch longer for triple A titles, when you factor in we already have AI, world object models, usable object models, shaders, physics, environment effects such as weather, tesselation, ombient occlusions, anisotropic filters, UI's, Audio and plot throwing RT into the mix is madness.
For gaming it's miles away, for engineers, movie developers, and the game developers themselves it's a head turner and a cracking bit of news and fascinating tech. I've seen many many uneducated jumping the gun over the last few days claiming they can't wait to sell their GTX10 series and by a RTX20 series so they can witness it and use it.
The only thing that rings through my mind right now is keep your eye on feebay and grab a cheeky cheep RTX Quadro once folks realise they aren't what they thought they were.

Umm Gsync ring a bell?
We got a taste what they will do from the GPP program. To pay to have your technology there along with supplying engineers to install it is not a problem for Nvidia. That is an investment in their future in their mind. They don't have gamers best interests at heart you know.

Nailed it sir!
Been listening to rt is coming since the 8000 series...
For Quadro cards it makes sense, like you implied, on gaming cards not so much - I'd rather have a beefier performance increase as that's tangible whereas rt will remain a far away thing for now.

Things I spotted in the video:

Mac-20 - Eight Tee (80)
Unrelated: I couldn't find the relevence to the coordinates on the discord messages, but directly across the road is a black Opel/Vauxhall van with bright green wing mirrors and bumpers, and the sign on the building down the street kind of looks a little like it says "ares" (arez reference/jibe?)

The coordinates relate to Cologne Germany and the specific spot they are hosting there event next week.

Odd location for the event; It was right in the street next to a car park exit :lol:

GSync doesn't require a game developer to code specifically for it. Any game will work on it. There's no reason for a developer to put the time and resources into coding a game to work not only just on the PC versions but only on PC's with Nvidia cards. I don't see the return on investment being anything worthwhile.

Yes, but Gsync does not work with AMD GPU's.
Then what about PhysX, that was proprietary code for a single GPU.

That is now integrated into the Game works package. Which many games use.

There's already been some leaks about the Titan and Ti variants as well so they may? be releasing earlier than usual.
