Shout-out to Pepsi for pulling off today's ad! Couldn't have done it without her.

I dropped Intel for Zen 2. I'll have no problem dropping RTX for Radeon if AMD pulls it up a little. Just give me a reason, AMD.

It was great seeing you at LTX last week!

TLDR the super cards should have been the regular cards but because of a lack of competition Nvidia do what they want.

something i'm not seeing anyone talk about (not even hardware unboxed and they are Australian ffs) is that Nvidia is jacking the price of the super cards here in Australia by 200$ and removing the cheaper non-super cards, you could buy a 2070 for under 800$ but now you can only buy 2070s for 950$ so no not a "free" upgrade at all

[Jack_Sparrow]

To be honest.. I can't blame Nvidia since there are stupid people upgrades on 1-year-cycle
Also.. they followed Apple BS with hiking prices with minimum justifications
So yeah, people always blaming companies while they support them with their WALLETS!!
Stop supporting them in 1st place -_-

I’m sitting here trying to remember why I subscribed to your channel. I went back and looked at your really old videos and found some science videos, which makes sense, but it seems after a point you became Yet Another Tech Youtuber.

[MrThedowd]

Did you try to OC the super card? I've seen in another video, that it comes with underutilized ram, so there's huge room for OC'ing the ram speed

[xpodx]

I agree bro..
Competition is needed in most cases for sure..
Most companies aren't thinking of making better, cheaper, more powerful products that the customers want unless other company provide better value forcing them to make better products to compete.

Well, for the type of work I do, which includes CUDA powered rendering in several different graphics packages, such as Blender Cycles and Otoy Octane, the additional CUDA cores in the Super (3072 at boost clock of 1815) can mean the difference between finishing an animation in 1 hr or less than 45min. For gaming, I understand this doesn't mean much and probably isn't worth it for the price, but this allows the RTX 2080 Super to compete with the GTX Titan X in terms of GPU CUDA rendering at a similar price point. However, with the RTX Super, you have the added benefit of RTX cores which are soon finding their way into rendering software as well. Blender, for example, is working on implementing RTX boost to the Cycles render engine down the road and already have a test build you could use (not production stable). I'm guessing this will be introduced early next year in Blender, but possibly sooner in other GPU engines.

I have a 1080ti and I cannot get over how my upgrade to it was so amazing for my gaming experience when I bought it two years ago.

This entire gen (especially the “super” gen) has been such a letdown in comparison. I hope in a few years we can find something worth the change.

[nathansstuff]

In Australia it ain't a free performance boost. It's more like a tiny performance boost for a few hundred more

[MrDeNnalol]

Thing is that now the resale value for my 2080 just decreased just because this useless "Super" release. Maybe not much but I will still get less for it whenever the time comes.

[TechWithSean]

2080ti is actually a larger jump over the 2080s than these steps between the 2060-2080s.

[pdxholmes]

While I agree it was all handled badly, the original 2080 having some SM’s disabled was less about being mustache twirling evil and more about yields. They got the yields high enough on the TU-104 to unlock the whole thing. Should they have just waited until they got yields high enough before dropping RTX? Yeah, probably...but I think it was really more about silicon yields than trying to screw people. It’s a bad look either way, that part I agree with. Just not a fan of ascribing malicious motives when there are other sensible explanations.

[gaiustrollius]

I have to agree. This "super" generation should've been what we initially got with rtx (although I don't agree with ray-tracing features existing in a consumer graphics card family at this point of time).

[abrokenlink_]

YES!

Sorry, I’m a little excited because I’m here early THREE VIDEOS IN A ROW

[RamBT]

That was a good AD IMO, nice and quick but interesting + informative 😎


Oh and Super cards are a kick in a nuts 😐
