Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: sub-60fps perf in Port Royal

[DanceswithUnix]

My family hasn't bought a 2nd hand car in 30yrs (I had a truck as a kid that was used, my 1st vehicle, last one bought).

That's nice. But please don't feel sorry for us paupers, we could easily have new cars but choose not to because we can do maths.

My everyday car is second hand, bought 3 years old. It was a 30K car new, bought for 13K. So someone lost over half the value in depreciation in just three years, and it wasn't me. New cars are a luxury, if both myself and my wife threw money away like that it would indeed add up to the price of a house at some point

The wife's MX5 isn't her main car, it was bought as a track car. It already has the rollover bar installed, needs better tyres on it then it's going on a race circuit. That's the bit that gets me, it used to be that racing games were a cheap way to get some driving fun, but with modern CPU, RAM and GPU prices I think you are better off buying an actual car and doing it for real as it is the same cost and a real life experience. We both have an everyday boring car and a fun weekend car, but when it comes to dropping lots of money on a graphics card there is always something more interesting out there. Last time for me it was a 3D printer, so glad I got that it's been loads of fun.

If I did sig quotes, I'd be stealing this for a sig quote

Genuinely laughed out loud there!

the seemingly "terrible" 51FPS in this Port Royal test.

The headline figure was from a 2080ti running under LN2 with a 70% overclock on the core and 20% on the memory.

But it's still just a number, it doesn't mean anything.

"2.640 MHz (core clock) and 2.088 MHz (memory clock)"

2.6Mhz impressive...

In continental Europe it's common for the Comma and Period to be inverted.
For example: 1,200,000.56 would be 1.200.000,56

Using that logic, 2.640 MHz makes sense now as it directly relates to 2,640 MHz

Prices are getting silly. That said, I shudder at the cost of new rubber, discs and pads for my car.
