Nvidia’s new RTX 2080, 2080 Ti video cards ship on Sept 20, starting at $799

I'm lazy, does anyone have a TL;DR version of how this is better than the 1080ti and what raytracing is?

Also, where the fuck is the 1180ti? I'm almost going to boycott this one simply because of the number jump.

Never buy or pre-order founder cards guys, you're screwing yourselves out of extra value that companies like EVGA will later provide with their editions.

Also, if you have a 1080TI

"And while it has the same 11GB of RAM and 352-bit memory bus as the GTX 1080 TI"
It's worth to wait another generation imo unless SC utilizes this live ray tracing somehow.

"And while it has the same 11GB of RAM and 352-bit memory bus as the GTX 1080 Ti, the new model uses GDDR6 memory, allowing for higher memory bandwidth of 616 Gbps. That's a lot of specs to swallow, but it all basically means this is NVIDIA's fastest consumer GPU by far."

There's this video of the 2080 Ti playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider with ray tracing enabled.

30-60fps.

At 1080p.

I'm praying that it's just bad early optimization on the tech or the game or both.

"So what can you do with the RTX 2080 Ti? When NVIDIA first debuted the GTX 1080 in 2016, it was aiming to create the best GPU for 4K gaming. That'll still be the case with the new card, especially if you want to speeds beyond 60FPS. In a demo called "Infiltrator" at Gamescom, a single Turing-based GPU was able to render it in 4K with high quality graphics setting at a steady 60FPS. Huang noted that it actually runs at 78FPS, the demo was just limited by the stage display. On a GTX 1080 Ti, that same demo runs in the 30FPS range."
