I hear today that they will patch ray tracing to work on the previous generation, will be interesting to try it on my 1080ti

Great, thanks.

RTX 2060 new this morning - OC'd the memory to 8100MHz, saw the tiniest of 'thing', backed off to 8000MHz and seems to be stable over loads of games. So, +1000MHz on the memory OC.

OC of the GPU - using the MSI Afterburner/NVIDIA OC Scanner - happy works at 2040MHz tested & in games.

Temps at 64°C max.

Card is - Palit GeForce RTX 2060 GamingPro OC

This is using an i5 3570k OC to 4.4MHz - having an upgrade this year - 1440p monitor ordered and waiting to see what AMD chips do for the Ryzen next gen in July before upgrading CPU & MoBo.

To be fair though, stuff is running great with the old i5 3570k. Very surprised. Previous card was a GTX 780.

I've a 1080ti on a 3570k. I backed it off to 4.2GHz recently to try and increase longevity (was getting some bluescreens indicative of voltage issues) and it runs anything modern without much issue. It's definitely bottlenecking FPS though.

I'm building up the courage to splurge on a new Mobo/CPU/RAM/Cooler.

Still rocking an i7 2600k @ 4.6Ghz from 2011 and all I do is upgrade the GFX card from the 580 to my current 780ti so I'm now looking at RTX but nothing about the 2080ti makes me want to spend £1200+ for just a GPU.

I think my next upgrade will be to a next gen AMD Ryzen 3000 (8C16T) @4.5ghz+ and find a 1080ti which should last a few more years I hope.

This came two days ago and I'm in love. The difference of a 1440p 144Hz screen running G-Sync (now that NVIDIA have opened it all up) to a 6 year old 1080p is somewhat liberating! The curve is far more subtle than I expected, but all the more better for it. Only problem is, I now really want another two for Sim-Racing

MoBo & CPU - Sorely tempted by a AMD Ryzen 5 2600X as there some cracking deals about, but there's a next Gen update coming in the summer and stuff leaked points to Intel slaying performance at the current prices, so I'm holding back until then to see what's what.

Oh, and I've ordered some Fanatec CSL Elite LC pedals too. Can't justify the ClubSports when all the reviews say that the brakes on the former is as good if not better than the latter but in a less fancy package.

I'm thinking 8700k or if the man maths work, 9900k. That monitor is beautiful.

The update, for this gen, is done for now.

Got a nice deal on a Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming X470, Ryzen 5 2600X bundle for a smudge over £300 so went for that to complement the RTX2060. Corsair LPX 3200 RAM. https://www.awd-it.co.uk/65b-4ee-df0.html

All working optimally, thanks to decent cooling, holding top boost on the CPU and a decent OC on the GPU. Pleasantly surprised that the RAM is also working at full whack given the reported issues with AMD based stuff being very picky how it runs. Hard gaming returns temps of mid 50's for the card and mid 40's for the chip. Corsair h115i AOI cooler to replace my perfectly fine existing one but they declined to produce a replacement bracket for the AM4 socket. Stupid. I'll whack it on eBay and hope someone can make use of it as it's perfectly good.

The pedals rock too, now I'm used to them. Now I need a wheel upgrade...

What else can I sell...

RTX Super cards announced for the 2060, 70 and 80. Spec bump and similar prices, they'll eventually replace the non Ti cards

The reviews are saying they are massively faster than the non super cards, at the same price.

Definitely an improvement. Shows how much a rip off the originals were. I guess when you have a monopoly over the higher gfx segment you can bleed your consumer base.

3000 series RTX has been announced, top of the tree is a 24GB RTX 3090 card https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/1/21417048/nvidia-...

[RobDickinson]

3070 = 2080ti at least in rtx.

Be interesting to see benches

My 3 year old rig is calling for that 3080.
But if I do that I might as well upgrade the motherboard.
And if I do that I might as well get a new processor.
And if I do that I might as well get a 1TB m.2.
