okay so the bomb was dropped yesterday NVIDIA has finally released their touring architecture brand new cards the 2080 TI the 2080 and the 2070 card now this launch however is a little bit strange in how they really did it because usually when I go and I see a launch right you know watch a launch one of the main things that they're always showing is a lot of gameplay and numbers showing how this car is going to be faster than the previous generation cards and the other cards that are on the market however this launch was different in a few different ways first of all not a whole lot of gameplay was really showed now there were game trailers of course and things like that you know saying hey cool look at have all the colors looking everything with this cool new rate racing technology right well rate racing technology is really there to make everything in a game that supported just actually look better all the lighting all the shades all this stuff it's really you know hair works all you know the super Nvidia stuff that you know NVIDIA has proprietary to their card you know all these things that make games look more like real-life they really take a heavy strain on the card because for one thing think about it we're here in reality when you're inside of a game that video card itself's have no like kind of recreate you know the reality in 3d as much as it can off you know whatever's inside of the video card and this is how rate racing is really going to help because rate racing will completely make the object that you're looking at it's gonna do it very very fast in real time now so all the other stuff that was taken away before and rendering will now be out the window now here's where the big question also is how long are these particular r-tx cards really going to last on the market I mean let's just talk about that because they release the Ti version right off the bat at the launch now there's something that's usually not done usually they release you know the initial cards the founders Edition then the aftermarket guys put their fans on them they go out to market you know and then you know they release the TI you know usually months or a year later you know stretching the life of you know that chipset so you know is the Turing chipset and its current you know iteration what it is is it really gonna be around a long time because were they gonna go from here I guess the next thing we're gonna have is a Titan r-tx but then you know beyond that where they going are they gonna reintroduce SLI again and really start supporting SLI again I mean what are the changes being done here so here's my advice right now for people because since we didn't see a whole lot of gameplay I don't really know if when we get the cards in here if just on like the regular settings that you see if we're gonna see this you know crazy performance and gameplay unless it's just so utterly ridiculous which is good backfire in my face like a giant fart and I could look like a boo-boo man but you know I'm thinking that we're not gonna see a whole whole lot of super advanced frame rates over the attend ATI generation and their Titan generation XP you know I don't really think that we're going to see that right I think we're gonna see improved performance just not the double digits that people were talking about but I was having a conversation with another friend of mine who works over at Nvidia and we were talking about people really they go play like games you know at the latest Final Fantasy and then they complain they say oh my god you know Nvidia is GIMP in the car because when they turn on hair' works and they turn all the features and all this stuff that make it look like you know real-life waving flags cuz it's physics and all this stuff well then obviously the cards gonna be taxed like I said earlier you know making this 3d environment is what really taxes the cards but now with this rate racing technology they're going to be able to do this much easier so what I'm thinking and I may be wrong but this is what I'm speculating at this point is that I feel what's probably going to happen is now you're going to be able to play all your games with all the bells and whistles completely turned up and you're not gonna lose those frame rates so we're probably going to see now is that everything running over 60 frames per second with all the bells and whistles going on now as far as how it's gonna translate into 4k I don't really know 4k to me is kind of I don't know it never really got out of the gate you know it's like a really super fast horse but it just really didn't go anywhere not that many people I know ever come to me and say I want to build a 4k gaming system it's either one a gaming system or I want a gaming system so I can do 3d stuff and get me some oculus or something it's like that so I'm not really getting mean people come in to me and saying hey man I want a game I want a 4k monitor I want to do 4k gaming I just don't hear that because right now it seems like you know 1440 is probably the you know the optimal you know resolution for a game or 1080 you can really kick butt but we all know that 1080 is getting it a little bit on the old side so we want to get you know ultra wide make that monitor a little bit wider so we can see more of the environment and all that type of stuff so at this point right now I feel that the prices on these cards are also like really expensive I mean it's $1200 for a top-of-the-line card and I mean even though the technology is there that's a lot of money pretty much the most expensive price tag that I've ever seen on an on Titan or non quadrille card from the folks over Nvidia and that kind of makes me kind of scratch my head and I had that particular thing I have to say I'm not really too happy with now obviously we do see you know that the 2080 the 2080 excuse me the 2070 they're gonna be at a lower price point but that 2080 Ti is really up there in the price you know the 1080 I was nowhere near that price until you know obviously you know we had the big mining craze and everybody took your card so you couldn't buy a card where the life for you because of that and I also don't know now these cards could also be really geared towards minors there could be a lot of stuff that the minam's particular technology and the touring and architecture that makes it so that you know a guy who wants to go out there and mine can mine like a crazy guy I don't really know these things I haven't told you that we will get a briefing the cards will be coming our way so we'll be able to test those things out but for right now I would say that unless you are completely unhappy with how your card plays in your system if you have a 1080i you know and you have a 1080 that unless you really aren't happy with how your game looks at all you know you like all the bells and whistles on and without them on you feel the gameplay is just wow then yeah you should probably be seeking to upgrade to one of these different type of cards probably not the $1200 version but somewhere right in the middle you know if I was a gamer that's where I would usually go go for the middle technology the lowest sending technology seems to get replaced faster the highest in is always SuperDuper high so it's you know it's it's you know kind of like the girl in all the beds in the old time story are you're looking for that perfect spot and that's probably going to be right in the center of all that but if you're happy with your card and you know you don't need to turn all these bells and whistles on I don't really think it's really time to upgrade kit I just haven't seen you know enough evidence out there so far this may be go oh my god yeah you guys need to get in the pre-order line pre-order these cars and just you know god forbid the miners want to take them all up and drive you know drive the price now that's the only thing about pre-ordering that I see were like you know they're really trying to just catch the fish early you know early bird gets the worm they're trying to get everybody in there okay we've got new cards we'll sell them to you first through pre-order you know but in a way it's kind of going on faith because we haven't really seen exactly how all the game performance is going to be we know it has ray-tracing we know it's gonna make all the games and all the showers and everything look really nice that's good so games will probably honestly with these cards I can't say they're definitely probably going to look better that's gonna be for sure but will they actually perform totally faster that is yet to be seen so IML work you guys have been watching taken tomorrow like I said strange launch strings things are afoot over there at Nvidia but a new cards have been released now we're waiting for is them to get them out to the market get them out to the people so we can all say hey yeah this stuff is the greatest thing or what
