The Quadro RTX GPUs are the first to be announced with the recently revealed VirtualLink connector, a new connection standard designed for next-generation VR headsets. Based on USB-C, VirtualLink provides high data bandwidth and power in a single small connector. Nvidia is among a consortium of major players—including Valve, Oculus, AMD and Microsoft—which are collaborating to make the connector the future of VR headset connectivity.

I was waiting for a new GPU for a build later this year but $10,000.00?  wow....might have to wait a lot longer.

Lol yeah that is the high end, curious to see how this filters down to "our" end of GPU tech.

Are they still coming out with a 1100 series? Or is that what this is?

Not sure, but hopefully we will hear soon.

I am waiting for the 2080ti ? It won't benefit IL-2, since scaling up SS still results in overly downscaled aircrafts at range (making them invisible/smaller than a pixel!), but hell, that card may be very promising for highres textures and other games. Or maybe they have this issue fixed next year?

 

 

The new i7 9700K also look incredible. I'll wait how far they can be OCed though. A promising feat is that their sinks are soldered to the die! That would benefit IL-2 quite nicely.

 

Whether the i9 may be worth it will be decided by its price and edge in performance.

Yes, other than pure compute power I dont think any of the upcoming features of RTX 20XX would benefit BoS. So higher FPS are possible but question is how much.

 

As for I7 9700k, it's 8 cores and 16 threads. I wonder too how will it overclock. The sheer fact that its soldered wont change much if anyone has delided his cpu and swaped toothpaste for liquid metal. And well, this game is supposedly multithreaded, so we should see benefits, right ?

I don´t think so. Above 4 cores, IL-2 VR doesn´t show improved performance. IL-2 VR runs 4 threads but one of them is the heavy one.

The important thing is CPU frequency, no number of cores. In fact, the more cores you have the more heat removal you need.

Pricewise the i5-8600K or the new i5-9600K would be good CPUs for IL-2 VR.

That was a sarcasm mate, I've checked this here and I also dont think so. See last couple posts: 

As for Intel, yes, new arch might have a couple interesting features like 40 PCIE lanes. I wonder how they did it since CFL has like what ? 24 PCIE lanes ? A significant increase allowing to make out of it a neat workstation and gaming platform at the same time:

Depends on the arch. Frequency requires higher voltage which in turn creates heat just as well. My 2700X is OC'ed to its limit and has 8 cores but it hardly reacheas high temps. However I had cpus in the past that could get to 90 deg.

OK, we are on the same page then. :biggrin:

I was thinking about 9700K (8 cores) versus 9600K (6 cores). Doing OC for all cores at a time will generate more heat on the 9700K.

One clear example are the Intel Extreme CPUs (X end). You have many cores. As Zacharias (i9-7900X) was reporting it was impossible to reach the frequencies of 4 or 6 cores Intel CPUs.

 

So on IL-2 in monitor, a 4790K was giving more fps than the i9-7900X:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gJmnz_nVxI6_dG_UYNCCpZVK2-f8NBy-y1gia77Hu_k/

 

So, unless they (devs)distribute the IL-2 workload in more threads, the new CPUs are not bringing many benefits.

I already have the funds set aside for a complete new build, just waiting till later in the year - will likely go with 9700k system.

On GPU unless I see different reports I will hold out for a 2080 Ti.

Of course. In regard to Intel it is very likely due to completely monolithic arch. That is one of the reasons I do not expect much performance improvements for us with 9XXX series. Especially since Intel way of connecting cores is based on Ring bus and it was already proven with Broadwell-e that the more cores, the higher cross core latencies since Ring bus cant remain efficient as much as when it only has to connect four cores. Intel explained that in one of their conferences when releasing Skylake-X and its Mesh design.

This will be the last time Intel has manufacturing process advantage over AMD and last squeeze of that 14+++ nm as well as Skylake arch. We will see where it will bring us.

Competition apparently already is close to completing programming on Vulkan change. Sooner or later Il-2 will also have to go through engine changes as well.

According to Videocardz one of the AIB partners confirms that there is also 2080Ti, so it may also launch this year. If it will yield a substantial performance increase over my OC'ed 1080Ti I will gladly replace latter once since it's near impossible to get water blocks for custom gpu designs.

If that releases then yes I would likely be all over that.

I hope EVGA wont get into mess like 2 years ago where its Pascal gpus were prone to catching fire :)

Cant wait for reviews.

Any hints on how much faster it will be than the 1080Ti?

Nvidia have an event on the 20th august aimed at the gaming community. I suspect we may find out more then.

Pretty sure that issue was overhyped.

I have been with EVGA for many years and have never had an issue. I love their cards.

S!

 

 The price will be past 1000€ in EU. Even now the 1080Ti is darn expensive here and nVidia will milk out the moolah from early adopters. For sure an interesting product though. Shall see how Intel´s GPU business will play out. A bit of competition would not hurt.
