NVidia RTX 2080

boy, I don't know how did we live all these years without this almighty raytracing feature. medieval!

Yep, I know these comments for about 30 years now. "Who needs 3D-acceleration? 2D looks just fine! Where is my ET4000?"

Raytracing looks stunning in FPS. The RTX 20180Ti is already sold out at NVidia. If people want it, they buy it.

Another important fact: It makes the work of grame graphics designers easier.

A good counter-argument: computer games tend to be driven by console hardware and none of them has RTR as a feature. Yet.


No matter what: Turing is faster than Pascal and at the same price the choice would be simply clear. There is no real competition from AMD so NVidia can get a nice chunk back from their R&D work.

Maybe raytracing ends up like PhysX in a few games. But technically is was the only logical step forward for better game graphics.

For hashcat all that doen't matter. Let's wait up the benchmarks and then we'll see what GPU has the best p/p-ratio.
