i just ordered a Ti, tho will have to wait a few weeks for delivery. just wondering how are you finding it?
i am wondering if 2x SS and VR ultra is on the cards?

is anyone gaming in a shiny new RTX 20XX card in VR today?

I'm still mulling it over. It's a tad more complicated for me as I run watercooling, so I'm waiting for some guinneapigs to post results.
You'll have to post your results when you finally get it.

Sadly i will only at the end of november be able to buy one since that is the time for extra money from work.
No results from me before
I need to re-build her also, so that she fits within my watercooling system. Hopefully there are wc-platinas available until november
Edit:
Ok cancelled the plan after release of benchmarks and multiple reviews on it. I'd better go for a 1080ti instead

Anxiously awaiting some results as well.
i will of course post back when it arrives. by that point however chances are all the pre-orderers will have theirs by then. i could have saved £30 if i ordered on announcement day.
Subbing to the thread. I'd love to hear feedback.
I've got a Zotac 2080 ti coming tomorrow, but have promised the missus a weekend away so won't get to test properly until Sunday.
Annoyingly I also picked up a new Logitech x56 to replace the thrust master T16000m, which I won't get to test until Sunday.
I'm currently running a Rift CK1, on an iz-8700K, MSI 1080ti (OC) with 16GB RAM so will report back on Sunday after a few hours of testing. I'm currently running HMD 1.5, AA off, AO off, shadows - low, FX - Medium, everything else on high or ultra, that nets me 90fps in most places other than stations - I also occasionally get the "direct x failed to lock a buffer" crash when in stations.

Another question
The founders card comes with display port to DVI adapter
Does the 3rd party ones? (Esp for my view the gigabyte windforce )

)I'm sorely tempted but it is not as easy a choice as with other graphic cards price/performance is tough this time around, and though I'm running a 970 gtx, i'm considering skipping 20xx generation and waiting for the shrink, that most likely will come next year.
I would be curious to see but I am holding onto my 1080ti at least until CV2 comes out. Most of my gripes at this point won't be solved by a graphics card alone.
I’ve just picked up a 1080ti gigabyte oc 11gb for $699. When CV2 it will be expensive but that will update time.
This will be an update from a gtx 1070.
Edited for auto correct.

Same, pretty sure Im going to hold out for the next headset and card for a massive increase in performance all at once.

Those FE coolers are apparently a complete terror to dismantle with lathers of glue pretty much all over and 70+ screws..

This is the best review I've read/seen on the RTX 2080 https://techreport.com/review/34112/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-graphics-card-reviewed
The summery is what makes it so. From the summery - "If you're focused on getting the most bang-for-your-buck right this second, it might be tempting to get a GTX 1080 Ti on discount as stocks of those cards dwindle, but I'm not entirely sure that's the best use of your cash for the long term. Pascal performance is as good as it's ever going to be, while Turing opens new avenues of performance and image quality improvements for tomorrow's games.
We've already been intrigued by what's possible from the demos we've seen of DLSS, and we expect developers will find all sorts of ways to play with even the sparse ray-tracing possible with Turing. Even if you discount the possibilities of tensor cores and RT cores entirely, title that support half-precision math for some operations, like Wolfenstein II, perform startlingly better on Turing. That's yet another avenue that developers might run down more and more often in the future.
Yes, gamers are going to be waiting on those features to bear fruit, but the upside could be considerable, and it's not as though Nvidia isn't courting developers to use its features."
Tech Report was the first site that stumbled on to frame time analysis as to the reason why some card weren't smooth even though they were running at a high frame rate. The more time the card spends making hard to render frames will cause the game to lose fluidity due to micro stutters. For example, if you're desiring to run at 60 FPS then you need to consistently draw the frame at 16.7ms (milliseconds) to keep up with the frame rate and while most reviews center around min/average/max framerates and Tech Report always talks about how long a card stays outside of the targeted frame draw rate. This is more important to fluidity than what is the lowest frame rate and fluidity is what you should be looking for, not the minimum frame rate.
With that information in hand, I would definitely pay the extra money for the RTX 2080 over the GTX 1080ti because the 2080 renders the frames much more consistently than the 1080ti and this is very important to VR. The 2080ti is even better.

Mike unless you have loads of spare cash I'd cancel the order. Buy a 1080Ti or a 2080; benchmarks aren't looking good on a £/performance ratio. My guess is sales will be so bad they will have to lower prices big time within the next few months.
It is just a big fat don't buy from most sources...

My guess is they would have like to release later, after selling down the stocks of the 10 series card, but got caught between a rock and a hard place when they over produced the 10 series. With the upcoming releases of games featuring ray tracing and DLSS they had to get the cards out there. Price wise, I think I'll wait it out, my GTX 1080 is rocking, and short of getting some extra cash to use the EVGA step up program (unlikely) I'll likely wait for the next gen... If you're the kind of gamer that plays a lot of different games and not very many of the latest, there is little reason to upgrade from the 1080/1080ti at the moment.
I think the VR community are the ones who will be fit most from the 20 series... especially if you have a pimax on the way.
