New Nvidia Graphics Cards - Max graphics and no more bad fps?

Pimax 8K Series
1

Finally some news on the new cards from Nvidia:

Hopefully these cards will allow us to run our Pimax HMDs with full graphics and minimal frame drops.

Expect a 20%-ish improvement between generations so “perfect” might be a bit much. But better, yes. It’ll be a compromise for a while yet but cheaper cards than on the current generation should be able to do “ok” which is also kinda awesome.

It should be a bigger jump in performance this time as it’s a proper shift to a 7nm node.

This time it’ll probably be more since it’s going to be 7nm.

But if the games in vr still are bad optimized,
you will still be having framedrops with these cards…

Yeah I agree with @BNP don’t expect miracles.

20-30% improvement over 2080 ti, so the 3080 ti will likely perform similar to 1080 ti in SLI.

If anyone has two 1080 ti’s check VR funhouse from Nvidia in the 5K+. That performance is roughly what we should expect.

I’m hoping since its Samsung’s 7nm EUV that we get a 2080 ti class card at $699.

Yes it has been a trend for what, 10 years? Two cards of 2 gens back are as fast as 1 card of current gen. Plus the other benefits of the new gen. Talking about consumer flagship models of era.

Part of the issue that I have with Nvidia though is that none of the features they end up developing get widespread use. I remember on the Pascal cards they boasted about having multi-monitor Distortion correction, and yet it was never implemented Beyond I think one game. It’s really sad how much of a bottleneck gpus are of virtual reality

Indeed. Then we’d be bottlenecked by the absent of photorealistic games.

There is some coming soon, like Asgard’s Wrath, Stormland, Espire 1, Bone Works and ofc Valves 3 games.

I’m in the not so good pos of running Pimax on a 980 Ti (that I bought hoping that Star Citizen would release that gen :smiley: ) , but was not impressed by 2080Ti, so I guess the waiting game will have to continue until spring. I tend to upgrade when the performance is double that of the old component.

Back before the Index release, Gabe Newell talked about the release of three VR “full games” and not just tech demos https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/valve-is-working-on-3-full-blown-vr-games-says-the-vr-market-has-exceeded-its-expectations/

References also to a “flagship” game: https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/valve-vr-game/

Nothing is sure but I heard one suggestion that seemed believable:

  1. One full game set in the HL universe (but not necessarily HL3)
  2. One adaptation of Portal / Team Fortress / Counterstrike
  3. One smaller wave type game eg Raw Deal style, set in the HL universe

I was exactly the same, and hoped to get it away with it for as long as possible. And then I realised the existence of Parallel Projections :sob:

First of all, pimax MUST improves the pitool’s performance, with index, hp reverb i can squeeze my 2080ti nearly 99% gpu usage while on pimax barely get 70-80

That is the principal lack of pimax
