I've just ordered 300 to do some Bit Mining. Luckily I ordered just in time, as I grabbed the last lot. Happy gaming folks.
is anyone gaming in a shiny new RTX 20XX card in VR today?

Anyone with a 1080 or above would be ill-advised to upgrade now. The cards are proper expensive and I am not even convinced they have enough grunt for the RTX which is it's selling point. (I dearly hope DLSS takes off tho). However I had a gtx 980 which after I upgraded to a 4k screen was not up to it
The "direct3d failed to lock a buffer" error is affecting a few players recently.
Would you mind posting your experience and any suggestions regarding that error in https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...s-when-returning-after-months-rig-not-changed
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
Your revised plan is my plan as well.
Looks like a good increase in speeds, and in SLi, pretty nuts (in a good way) IF you're willing to spend. I have a 1080Ti and game in 4k and have a Pimax on the way, so a 2080Ti is likely at some point; but I do intend to upgrade my entire PC. Having spent some time building specs, it's a good £3k... not cheap, but then bleedin' edge gaming never is.
The 1080Ti, btw, is expected to continue alongside the 2080 series for the time being, so prices should drop, but not plummet. Who knows though eh!

I'll skip this one and invest in the next generation, together with a new HMD at that time. Still it is hard to fight the itch...
SLI scaling is really very good in some titles, but in most it's hard to justify the double the cost at 50-60% scaling. And that's if it's supported. Overall better, but not by much and very spotty for what you're paying.
The thing the nvlink as it has been in the quadro cards and series this ameliorated to the degree that it could almost appear as one card to the os.
But the Nvlink found on current RTX implementation is so hamstrung it is nearly as useless as SLI.
Yeah it is expensive. However it is a really powerful card.
In high res rendering the 2080TI outclasses the 1080TI.
In addition if developers include the new DLSS supersampling in their games the 20series will have superior visual quality to.

Anyone running Elite in VR on a 2080 TI already?
Any reports on how it's working?

ok so I managed to get the 2080ti delivered today after a major DPD mess up - should have been with me on Friday. I've had a very quick half hour in the game (just to note I've not fine tuned graphics settings, just wacked them up). So with the following settings it ran smooth as butter, solid 90fps ranging from 65-75% GPU utilisation.
FPS dropped to 45 for a split second upon jump and coming out of jump and as expected ASW ran within stations with these settings. I started out in a high rez, jumped to super cruise, flew around for a bit then headed and docked into founders.
A note on the Anti Aliasing - i'm not sure what the difference between the four are, so just chose the one that looked the most taxing.
I tried HDM at 2.0 and SS at 1.25 but that was mostly kicking in ASW in the high rez. - I've not over clocked the card yet and am running a Zotac 2080 ti AMP.
Just a note - i'm not quite sure what settings would be best to try so if anyone wants me to try any particular setup then let me know.

I'd turn of AA for a start; it doesn't help in VR (at least, not in Rift/Vive) and there's no point in the performance hit. Otherwise, there's a good thread around here somewhere on settings (it's pinned) and the HMD/SS settings are where you gain clarity over performance. I'd start there.
I concur with turning AA off (also not entirely sure what Blur does for you in VR) - and, seeing as you have a cutting edge GPU, you should be able to turn that shadow quality way up high!
based on the above I tweaked the graphics settings a little. These settings are still maintaining a solid 90fps except for the start of jumps and stations - stations ASW kicks in and locks to 45fps. GPU utilisation is up around 93% on these settings, so not much head room to maintain 90fps in very hectic situations. I'll have a longer play this evening, I don't see the need for shadow quality to be ultra, so that should give a little more head room. Galaxy map on high still kicks in ASW and locks to 45fps, but can't really tell the difference between low and high in the rift.
So essentially this is the limit for a non over clocked 2080 ti with a rift. If there's any particular situation/settings anyone is interested in then let me know and i'll try them out and report back.

Interesting that you've gone for SS over HMD Quality. Many people seem to favour the opposite, dropping SS below 1 if necessary in order to set HMD Quality to 1.5 or higher. Personally I stick with SS at 1 and then HMDQ at whatever I can get away with 'cos getting ED to deliberately generate a low-res image just so Oculus can then upscale it seems counterintuitive (garbage in garbage out?) ... but, there's a lot of subjective claims that the low SS technique does work. Either way ... setting SS higher than HMDQ is uncommon to the best of my knowledge.
That said, whatever works and looks best to you I guess.

To be fair I normally use HMDQ over SS (as you can see in my previous setting), and have never set SS below 1, the most stable I could get on my 1080ti was SS 1.0 and HMD 1.5 - the only reason I went this was is because a different CMDR messaged me this earlier "Alternating between SS and HMD. The models look more cartoony with HMD and more real with SS", which I thought was utter garbage but thought I'd check.
The card runs the same with SS 2.0 and HMD 1.25 as it does with SS 1.25 and HMD 2.0 - I can't personally tell any noticeable difference between the two, but might be my eyes...
How did you got to the Extra Settings on you ED Profiller?
also, could you try this setup? this is the one that I'm running on my GTX 1070, the ASW is on all the time, but it's working ok, not great, but ok.
Sorry, I don't know how to post pictures here... forget about the last thing I asked..
