You can't actually predict the behavior of such a greedy and ruthless company like nVidia.

But if 2080 or even 2080 Ti have so many performance problems with RT, I don't expect an RTX 2060 or lower card.

I'm not even sure that will see any 2060 or lower Turing cards (GTX or RTX) before Pascal sells every stock or ever.

Regarding DLSS, we don't know yet how much is taxing Tensor cores and if the general architecture of Turing is meaningful if everything is ON (RT cores, AI cores, CUDA cores)

Hahahahaha.

There are a lot of differences in the implementation of capitalism.

AMD and Xiaomi for example are still companies seeking for profit but as the CEO of Xiaomi has already said too many times, their profit is around 8% and they are going to push it down to around 5%.

So, nVidia by eliminating competition all these years with unethical and actually illegal means, wants to enforce not some kind of rules of the free enterprise but rules of the jungle.

They want to be a covered monopoly in order to milk everyone as much as they can with no rules and no other choices (competition)

Intel and nVidia are among the most hated tech companies of the world for a reason.

And please, don't be a blind nVidia fanboy.

Grow up.

Allow me to rain on both of your parades. Xiaomi is limiting short turn profits to starve out competition and grab as many customers into its app/cloud eco system which it sees as the real money maker (this comes directly from a Xiaomi press release). All the big companies that form the oligarchs have to resort to unethical business practices e.g. treat their employees inhumanely, destroy the environment by cheaply sourcing materials and manufacturing obsolescence, bribing politicians for favorable laws and kickback investments, resort to false marketing, to survive in our late stage capitalist world that is run entirely by the stock markets.

Interesting...

So, besides a blind nVidia fanboy and fan of boundless capitalism you are a racist too.

I'm on Tapatalk right now and I can't see if you have any info regarding your country.

Where are you from ?
Germany ?
LOL!

No, Xiaomi can't eliminate the competition.

It's fourth after Samsung, Huawei and Apple and it will never reach them.

They give the best phones for their value , best VFM and they simply don't sell overpriced because they don't find a reason (!)

For all the other things that you said I agree with you, but what I'm trying to say is that not all companies are the same.

No AMD and Xiaomi are not nVidia and Intel.

You should probably study better the history of both companies to find out unbelievable facts about them.

It's not aiming for Samsung or Apple because it can't compete with their R&D and brand value. It's trying to flush out other manufacturers at the same price point like oneplus, Huawei and motorola. It won't be successful of course because it's phones are not as good as oneplus, and motorola has better value for money and its cloud services are complete shit compared to Google's that most Android users use. It also faces stiff competition and an entrenched market filled by Huawei, Oppo and Vivo in the asian market. Pocophone is a good effort, we shall see if it makes any dent in the market.

You are right they are not like nVidia or Intel because they can't afford to be like them because they lag so much behind in market share and sales and technology. AMD and chinese phone makers are known as product suppliers of the poor for a reason.

I have to disagree with you on most of your points.

Huawei is a huge company even bigger than Intel and is number two right now at smartphones just after Samsung.
Its aim is to surpass even Samsung in 2019, so it's out of the Xiaomi's targets.

AMD and Xiaomi are not making products for the poor.

They are making good products at sane prices for sane people.

EPYC CPUs and Threadripper CPUs are not cheap, but compared to Xeons they are cheaper for their performance and in sane prices for their value.

AMD has better CPUs now at all categories than Intel.
They are always faster on multithreaded apps and always cheaper.

The only thing missing from AMD is giving money to tech journalists in order to write reviews in a form of propaganda.

Like what Intel always did in the past and does even now with Zen architecture.

They are literally buying time to catch up with Zen architecture and 7nm of TSMC but of course even Intel's brand name and huge money can't buy everything.

So, these days Intel has only money and brand name and AMD has the best x86 CPUs ever.

Regarding Xiaomi, it has some cheap but very good smartphones and also some expensive ones but like AMD in sane prices for their hardware.

Intel and Nvidia are very well known of overpricing their products in insane levels, just because there are people with various psychological problems who actually buy them.

And because they have done everything they can - illegally - to eliminate competition and to become covered monopolies in order to sell at such high prices.

Now that Intel has competition after more than ten years, it has lost a good share in desktop and HEDT markets and next year is going to lose around 25% in server market.

But AMD is a small company and can't compete at the same time with nVidia and Intel.

Maybe the big failure of Turing and 7nm of Vega20 could make a difference.

We 'll see about that.

Except for gaming and all other low threaded use cases. Even their Xenons have higher core clocks. I am not a fan boy of either just hoping AMD would step up their gaming performance of their CPU's and GPU's. Otherwise I'll just pay the nvidia and intel tax.

the gaming performance deficit comes mostly from the slower infinity fabric that has higher latency than the ring bus from intel.

that's why high speed low latency ram give an AMD more speed boost than an intel CPU because that closes the gap.

the clock speed difference shouldn't be anything more than a worse process and this should be fixed with TSMC 7nm and not a design problem from AMD.

especially for high 120+ FPS gaming intel CPUs are still far better and the reason i still don't have a new CPU...

Mind the toxic behavior, guys. Rule 15 and Rule 4 are both being broken.

So, you are telling us that the reason of not buying Ryzen is because it can play games at 1080p at 140 fps instead of 155 fps of Intel.

Interesting...

yes because your example is the difference between tearing and no tearing using a 144 screen run by fast sync and a ghosting free experience using BFI/back light strobing.

and the difference can be 20 % or more FPS.

I knew that you would use the 144 Hz excuse, that's why I gave you that example...

So many people nowadays are using ultra expensive displays and ultra expensive GPUs in order to play games at 1080p resolution to reach 144 or more fps.

Right ?

144 hz screen have no special price tag any more and no you don't need expensive GPU it is relative easy to tweak the GPU usage but not the CPU usage at high frame rate.

and yes i personally plan to get a 240 hz screen.

"typical CPU"

there tests shows results where pascal is supposed to be close to x264 using PSNR. but it in term of visual quality it is not even close. x264 CPU utilisation 13 % good job nvidia...

and the 25% bitrate savings on HEVC well maybe they added b frames...

Ok.

After all the reviews been released to the public, my original assumption still stands alive and kicking.

Turing RTX cards is the worst release ever for nVidia and maybe their biggest mistake.

I don't personally believe that RTX pseudo-raytracing is going to last if AMD doesn't support it.

Regarding RTX cards:

2080 Ti vs 1080 Ti is ~10% at 1080p, 25% at 1440p and 30% at 4K

2080 vs 1080 is ~ 35%

2080 vs 1080 Ti is almost a tie ~ 5%

1080 Ti had an MSRP around 50$ more than 980 Ti but ~ 70% more performance

1080 had an MSRP around 50$ more than 980 but ~ 60% more performance.

The actual difference in price of 2080 Ti vs 1080 Ti is ~ 500$

What a disastrous combination!

Stay away from this fraud.

It's so bad that no-one wants these things:

/sarcasm

Take a look at the 5 year stock price history of nVidia to get the true picture.

NikosD can't afford the world's premiere GPU, so he goes the sour grapes route. What a joke!
