mtakerkart (8/24/2018)
Menawhile, if you haven't already watched it. go back a couple of posts and watch that "Battlefield" RTX demo
?????? It is my post....
For now there will be no improvement with Iclone render because Iclone doesn't support RTX. But I certainly will buy it because UDK 4 and UNITY will support it very soon . I don't know about Blender 2.8 a) Yeah, I was refering to your post. I was in a rush and didn't mention you by name. I meant " you" in the generic sense, refering to whomever was reading. https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost376921.aspxb) We are still waiting for the NDAs to be lifted so legitimate review sites can post their benchmark results. Without the beneifts of RTX and DLSS there should still be a performance boost with the 20xx series of cards, but probably not enough to justify the cost. However, if you are in a situation where you can (or expect you will soon) benefit from RTX and DLSS, then that's another story. Of course, having 11GB of VRAM would be pretty sweet. c) An interesting, and I thnk valid, discussion I was reading was should you compare an RTX 2080 to a GTX 1080 or a GTX 1080Ti? Do you compare based on a somewhat artificial naming convention, or based on price at the time of release? If you go on price, then people are anticipating a modest 10-15% performance improvement for equivalent functionality, such as traditional rasterized game rendering. Not the 30-50% increase you see when comparing a 2080 to a 1080. Fun sport, though. Even though I know I won't be buying one in the near future, it's fun to watch and I look forward to real benchmarks and comments from analysists that I trust. UPDATE/CORRECTION:As it turns out, the video I wanted to reference is NOT the exact same one that Mtakerkart showed earlier. Same game, but different video. a) Shows several RTX on/off comparisons. b) Sometimes there are some "explosion" reflections that can be shown with RTX turned off, but they are done poorly. Also, that can happened ONLY when the light source - the explosion or flamethrower - is directly visible to the camera. The ability to reflect off-camera lights and objects is a big deal that really sets ray tracing apart from even high-end shortcuts used in games today.

Lucky for all of you who have such good cards. I'm on a GTX 780, 3GB VRAM so the RTX Series looks like tasty bacon to me. I could have bought a 1080 but I didn't wanna buy a card at the end of a generation (atleast not without the sweet price drop we now have). But really I think I'll go for the RTX and be a bit more future proof.

Awesome, meaning we would finally have a full featured mirror and true reflections, without RL moving a finger. They would have to add an RTX support, but Nvidia probably have APIs/SDKs in place already. Lower end RTX 2070 is only $599, meaning when the release rush is over it would easily go down to $400. There is no excuse for not getting one

But really I think I'll go for the RTX and be a bit more future proof. Held off updating cards as well, updated laptop instead. Future-proofing with an RTX would seem a logical approach. It's unlikely RL will have RTX capabilities baked in the 7.3 release but it's making the IRAY plugin seem a lot more practical. Best guess, RTX capabilities IC 8..

Dr. Nemesis (8/24/2018) Lucky for all of you who have such good cards. I'm on a GTX 780, 3GB VRAM...I totally understand. The GTX 1080 you see in my signature is the first card I ever bought that was a "top-tier, new-generation" card when I got it. I normally bought cards that were 2 or 3 generations back, and since I was not a heavy 3D gamer, and most of my authoring consisted of editing videos, I was able to limp along. But it gradually got more and more painful to run iClone. Editing when your playback speed is 2 or 5 frames per second sometimes makes it really difficult to assess if your motions are smooth or not. So I finally opened up the piggy bank and managed get one. I actually had to monitor a number of sites to grab the 1080 when it was in stock. They were still new, and would be sold out in an hour or less. So, yeah, I know the struggles of having an under-powered card, being cost-conscious, and the joy of finally getting a really nice one. Of course, even when you have a new card, faster is still better, but I haven't refilled the piggy bank yet so shopping for me right now.

I hope you'll share some "iClone benchmarks" with us once you get it installed.

Thanks Gary, I hadn't had my gtx 970 too long before the 10 series came out so I missed that boat and had just started looking at the 10 series again last week when the videos of Nvidias key note speech were released. Her indoors agreed I should get one of the new fangled cards, " get the best one" she said, ......... I haven't told her how much it was
JV. I was blown away by the speed of your 1080 when you first got yours and I remember doing the test render speed tests that were on the forum when the 10 series came out ? We could do that test again and compare speeds. The big test will be when Iray for iClone and CC gets released.

@TheOldBuffer -- Sounds great. Lacking any real benchmarks, I'm anticipating a 25-30% improvement with the 2080Ti over my 1080. I'll be surprised (but very happy) if it is a 50% imrprovement. The huge gains (up to 5x) should only be expected when the "RTX technology" comes into play, which of course is "not iClone" for now. Wonderful and exiting times, to be sure. I look forwared to doing some benchmarking with you.
