some questions about GTX 1080 TI

Can GTX 1080TI run RTX technology ???

Is this card Still good ???

 

[richiestang_78]

No it cannot use ray tracing and yes the card is still good. Nvidia is pulling some very questionable behavior regarding independent benchmarks so itll be alittle longer before solid numbers com out about the new RTX cards but most people doubt the performance increase will be anything huge, probably similar to the last couple generations of cards.

but why cant RUN RTX technology, I think RTX technology like physical technology

really i was think RTX technology can run on GTX 1080 TI

Unless I am mistaken, it is because the new RTX cards have the hardware capability to perform ray tracing processing to some level. The 10xx series simply is not equiped nor designed to do so.

I saw in different site speaking on this thread they said GTX 1XXX can use RTX technology so i think it is like physical technology

 

[Greeko85]

Can a 10xx series use it? Sure. Will it do it well? Very much doubt it. From benchmarks we've seen so far, and they haven't been informative at all I'd say, a 2080ti struggled at 1080p@60fps in battlefield V and was getting around 30-60fps in the new tomb raider (when ray tracing was enabled). Now if a card thats the leader of the pack, one designed for Ray Tracing has performance figures as such, how do you think a previous gen card will go at it?

Thank u for quick answer

But if really the GTX 1080TI cant run RTX technology thats mean very bad news

 

[richiestang_78]

Not really, itll probably be years and a couple of generations of graphics cards before ray tracing is used in an optimal manner. As Greeko said alot of the demonstrations ray tracing in games, while impressive, is not really showing smooth gameplay. Its a new technology which may or may not lead somewhere, plenty of other technologies have gone no where or be circumvented by other superior/cheaper/easier ones.
