The First two words of the title...."Nvidia says"

It was a press event, the demo was run with the press present and watching, so not really "nVidia says" ... more like "nVidia shows" and the press "say".

Cheers, Rob.

As usual you are probably correct. We have been in such a long slow period of real hardware progress that we make really easy targets.🔫

10 years in the making, it’s not just the next iteration of an existing design.

Either way I’ll post my results when the new GPUs arrive ... also heard the 9900K might be out same day of my GPU ship 10/1

The combo should provide for some promising improvements.

For VR lovers I think this setup will be a dream come true.

Cheers, Rob

Rob- Can I ask what version you purchased and why you made that choice? Lots of variations out there. Are they all the same?

My 3570k @ 4.5 GHz is a little over six years old.  I've upgraded the video twice and currently have a 980 Ti.  I get decent performance at 4K/30 in P3D with medium-high settings, mostly in the NGX.  But I've been planning to do a new build sometime in the next few months and the 9900k with some variation of an EVGA 2080 Ti on an ASUS mobo is currently at the top of my list.  When I was young I would have had "go fever" to get everything on day 1.  At this point in my life, with a very stable system, I can wait until some of the dust settles and drivers are stable for use with P3D.  The person most anxious for me to do a new build is my daughter who wants to replace her 770 with my 980 Ti.

I purchased two 2080Ti FE from nVidia store.  I simulate in 4K and my goal is 30 FPS ... I usually just increase graphics settings until I drop to about min of 30 FPS.  If you want best bang for the buck, then that is probably the 2070.

I plan to get some full coverage water blocks for the 2080Ti's when they become available.  I'll run SLI and see how that goes.

Cheers, Rob.

Hope you are right mate. Coming from an i7 4770K and a 980ti, FPS’ are starting to drop heavily even on medium-low settings VR, and I’m one of those that can’t come back to 2D after VR.

Early october for that i9 9900K? Can’t wait!

Cheers
