PolyHertz said: If I understand this correctly, no matter how powerful a video card may be (how do you even measure this? by the number of its RT cores? Tensor cores? TLFOPS?), it will only be able to work in chunks as big as its VRAM size. It's kind of crazy to me that my 1070 has the same amount of VRAM as these…
From what I understand (i may be wrong though) open cl would not give a performance gain. It just allows to run the same code on cpu or gpu. But if you want it to be efficient too, this is not how it should be done. Some things are conceptually different on the gpu. For example, lets say you have a list of things and you…
Now that's indeed what I would classify as posh. That's a few hundred if one of the better models, might come as a bit of a shock to some. I am cheaping out at 650 watts but in my defense I had to act quickly since this machine started crapping out on me yesterday and I have a milestone coming up next week.
@Obscura I was talking about upcoming cards. Even though I most probably stick with NVidia, I would like to see AMD coming up with some competitive products.
Realistically, we are unable to sell those 2080tis for more than 400 $. I slowly came to this conclusion. Although as far as I can see, store prices have not changed so far. I guess it will happen when the new gen actually comes out.
I expected they would postpone the launch, but not that they cancel it, I hope this rumor will not come true. AMDs cards are going to be announced next week, maybe that takes away a bit of the high demand for RTX30xx. For CUDA users that is not an alternative unfortunately.
I'm not very knowledgeable on this matter. What third party models are you talking about? I thought all RTX-30XX products would come from nVidia only. Do other people take these products and alter them somehow, or do you refer to competitors (amd cards)?
RAM alone wont fix the slowdowns. Its a lot how you build the layer stack and where you paint. If you move the working layer to the top its a lot faster than working in the middle on the stack. Its also getting slower if you use hte passthrough blending mode a lot. Specially on large groups.
No I was talking about the current ones. Don't know about what they will come up with. We will see but I have some doubts about their speed as the current ones gets nowhere close to the high end of the 20 series and workstation cards. It would be also a surprise if their raytracing implementation would "just work" with rtx…
I think it's great to see the price/performance shifting down again, the 2xxx series was ridiculous given that anything below the absolute top end model was pretty uninteresting when coming from at least a mid-range previous generation card. Now it appears you can hope for at least twice the performance with an upgrade in…
