RTX 2080 GPU mining?

"Put together in an RTX hybrid rendering pipeline, the subprocessors can do the work of six times of Nvidia’s high-end Volta AI processors, Huang said. He showed what the RTX can do with a real-time ray tracing demo dubbed Sol"
Is GPU mining coming back into fashion?

yes.

Fuck you.

This

Mining cucks need to be boiled alive.

im not going to be mining, I just want my $30 of litecoin back

Ray tracing is nothing like mining at all. Furthermore not every game even does ray tracing, why highlight that? Be careful with what you believe. More sophisticated ray tracing and graphics hardware/software will make determining the difference between real/false very difficult - especially when combined with AI. Is Nvidia in bed with some large organisation to promote fake content?

Ray tracing means shit to mining. It's all about the cuda cores. Barely any significant upgrade from the 1080ti.

The new nvidia RTX doesn't do anything for mining, user. Those "six times more" numbers are for very specific workloads that aren't useful for mining.

Btw, I'm a graphics dev fag (mainly scientific visualization etc), ray tracing for games is a meme. It will be useful for professionals that use ray tracing/path tracing for global illumination problems etc, that's for sure.
For highly dynamic content that is used in games it sucks, it won't be fast enough for GI, and what's left then are some fancy reflections, but most of those can be faked good enough and modern games anyway (see screen space reflections for water surfaces etc, and the trusty old (dynamic) environment mapping that every racing game does on its metalic cars since forever).
Those things aren't physically correct, but subjectively convincing enough.

muh gaymen

gddr6 might do something though.

they say they are working with game devs to "integrate" it and to "provide patches" for alredy existing games. so its nvidia going "you are going to use this to make us look good"

wonder if they're mining with them right now, to test them... of course

money > vidya

until someone comes up with a raytracing mining algorithm, which may be a pretty cool idea, you could use a small raytraced image instead of a hash string since they're also not reversible and you could actually see the results and compare them visually

I do remember something about using it for lighting effects

This, the miners can suck a dick.

believe you me, I know that pain. I bought a 1070 during that whole shitshow for ~$400

Boy /v/ sure gets mad when they get what they want. It's almost like they should GET A JOB.

Same, and I mined $1200 of ETH with mine

huur now I can run my Vidya games on 6 screens instead of 4!!
literal child

HURR LETS RUIN AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY BECAUSE WE ARE ABUSING FOR BUTTCOIN THAT WON'T EXIST BEYOND 2020

I don't think so but it's still going to be used for mining.

this user gets it. This is a rendering card, not a miner.

Make multiple accounts, use other peoples cards and pay them back...PROFIT!

>the subprocessors can do the work of six times of Nvidia’s high-end Volta AI processors
I bet you that this is bullshit.

Too risky, miners won't go for it unless it pays itself off in two months. I'll keep going with my crappy 1050 ti farm on nicehash.

>Implying that in the long run this isn't the best thing to happen to gaming.

sorry you can't play fornite at max settings dweeb.

So what old cards are you guys to buy when this kicks their price in the dick?

1070

Regular or founders edition?

Founders is working well for me.

I'm not sure whether I should buy a 1080 now or wait for the 20 series drops.

Heh. Old news faggot.

Either, nvidia has their production on lock so well that they all OC the same and none of them have thermal throttling

Eh I don't really feel like OCing them.
