I know this is the PC thread so apologies in advance, but, looking at those performance levels and prices... Do we know if the next gen consoles will have anything close to these cards? Because if not, they're already absolutely pointless from a performance standpoint, right?
If what is rumoured to be true from the next gen:-
PS5 = RTX 2060
XBOX = RTX 2080
Personally I would take the above with a massive pinch of salt.
The Xbox seems right with performance of 2080, but I would think the PS5 will be more 2070 performance.
Although it does seem clear the Xbox is going to be significantly more powerful than PS5.
Going by the performance above the RTX 3080 will have double the performance of the RTX 2080, effectively being able to produce twice the FPS of the Series X and much better performance in RayTracing.
The RTX 3090 which is £1400, is an absolute mammoth, I mean serious mammoth.
It has 24GB Ram on the card alone, can play Control and COD in 8K @60FPS with Ray Tracing on - It is a serious piece of hardware.
Nvidia have pushed gaming manufacturers to release 360Hz displays which are coming later this year - So Nvidia clearly know these cards can hit 360FPS in HD or 1440P.
I thought there was going to be a generational upgrade of say 20%, but they have doubled the performance on these cards.
The next gen consoles are high end current gen - Nvidia have really pulled the buck out with the biggest generation leap ever.
