Lets see performance before selling any firstborns. Also I don’t think they’ll restrict the 8kx to virtual link since they basically sold them, before it came out, to people that expect to run them on display port.
Atleast from the article linked its still the same virtuallink that essentially does just displayport + usb + power.
2 cables are still requried for display.
2.700 Euro? I think I’m gonna buy two of them…! Love those Nvidia consumer friendly prices! One of last companies where you get a fair deal…
2500 isnt so bad if it can do its job. Im sure someone will get it and test it
5% faster than a 2080ti for $1500 more.
Sign me up for 2.
10 % more gigarays!! That should push me up closer to 60 fps in ultrawide 
What’s that thing you call gigaray ?
In my opinion Gigarays a crap indicator (at least for VR)!!! Just a new marketing hocus of NVIDIA!
Megarays sounds better
…but Giga is/sound better than Mega… perhaps Quadrillion would be the better marketing hype-word…
What no it is perfectly fine. “giga” is normal for denoting a billion. And a ray is a ray in raytracing.
So 10 gigarays simply means 10 billion rays are computed per second.
Seriously, I think Gigarays is the amount of operations counted for raytracing operations the GPU is capable of… and in my little world it’s no real or usable benchmark… at least it got no meaning for my decision on a GPU…
It is the perfect measurement device as it states excacly how your ray tracing performance will be. Of course it is only relevant for ray tracing which right now only is for battlefield V,
That’s right, I think… but where’s the benefit for you in VR?..
Ray tracing is huge for VR. Realistic reflections. Easier good looking reflections. Compared to how it used to be ray tracing is a plug and play thing versus using screen space reflections and it looks a lot better and can cope with situations where the reflected object is behind you(out of view).
2017 Titan XP: $1200
2018 Titan RTX: $2500
Can Nvidia care to explain the pricing?
That’s double the price for a product.
Also the new USB-C port is already featured on the 2080/2080 TI so it’s not designed for an 8K-X and with a marginal performance increase over 2080 TI, it still won’t run an 8K-X other than for movies I imagine.
It could squeeze a bit more juice out of the 5K/8K though. Hopefully someone financially infused will show us the performance gains.
The question is probably: Why not?
Don’t forget the RTX Quadro at $9000 
edit: I’m aware that the Quad isn’t for normal Joes like me
Nvidia has been trying for 3 generations to separate the Titan lineup from the GeForce lineup.
These cards are not for gaming. They are meant for proffessional content creators, AI researchers, and scientific research.
The 2080ti fills the slot for the $1000+ gaming cards.
