By - | Views: 20,312

NVIDIA today revealed their new lineup of graphics cards, a refresh of the current series called the “GeForce RTX SUPER Series” which includes the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER.

Coming as a result of what NVIDIA said is "nearly a year of architectural and process optimizations", you can see some of the details on each below:

  • GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU - Starting at $399, Available July 9
    • Up to 22% faster (average 15%) than RTX 2060
    • 8GB GDDR6 - 2GB more than the RTX 2060
    • Faster than GTX 1080
    • 7+7 TOPs (FP32+INT32) and 57 Tensor TFLOPs
  • GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GPU - Starting at $499, Available July 9
    • Up to 24% faster (average 16%) than RTX 2070
    • Faster than GTX 1080 Ti
    • 9+9 TOPs (FP32+INT32) and 73 Tensor TFLOPs 
  • GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU - Starting at $699, Available July 23
    • Memory speed cranked up to 15.5Gbps
    • Faster than TITAN Xp
    • 11+11 TOPs (FP32+INT32) and 89 Tensor TFLOPs

This is all making my current 980ti seem a little antiquated, given that it was released way back in 2015 but it’s still a pretty good GPU. When I finally come to upgrade, it’s nice to see even more options on the table. Especially nice, that NVIDIA are pricing these new "SUPER" units at around the same as the existing cards. They could have come up with a better name though!

NVIDIA also announced the FrameView application designed to let you measure framerates, frame times, power, and performance-per-watt on a wide range of graphics cards. Only Windows was mentioned with this though, sadly.

You can see their official announcement here and also here.

Quoting: GuestA whole list of problems like 1.

Not sure what your point is. That one issue (not upstreamed driver) is causing everything else. I already explained it above. If you and Nvidia don't care about the progress of the Linux desktop (i.e. Wayland), it doesn't mean Nvidia supports Linux well. It means exactly that - they don't care. The result of not caring is usually garbage.

Quoting: ShmerlMesa is still lagging behind.

How exactly? Mesa is ahead of Nvidia blob in actual compliance to both OpenGL and Vulkan and it caught up in performance. So what is behind?

Quoting: GuestMy point is that these "problems" are not interesting for PC gamers.

They are to Linux users. Windows users wouldn't care about them. But you supposedly use Linux.

Quoting: GuestPrime needs supports from the vendor.

PRIME is a standard kernel feature. Nvidia can't play with kernel well (they refuse upstreaming), so they don't support it, or support some crippled variant of it.

I don't even see a point in answering to the rest of your post. Seriously, you sound like Windows gamer who uses Linux by accident. Go figure out how Linux drivers are supposed to work first. Otherwise it's a waste of time arguing with your nonsense.

Quoting: tmtvlMeh, I'm more looking forward to what AMD's up to. NVidia doesn't support OSS so it doesn't belong on a Linux system.

Games don't support OSS which means that gaming doesn't belong on a "Linux system".

Yes, games are kernel modules, you linux very good indeed. Bravo.

Didn't find anything about "kernels" here, either:
"NVidia doesn't support OSS so it doesn't belong on a Linux system."
And before you start telling us what "Linux" is:
A "Linux system" is more than this.

Keep your arguments cool and focused. Personal attacks are not welcome. I'm leaving posts up as they are for now, but if I see this line continuing I will have to clean things up.

There's difference between exchanging views and calling people fanatics or claiming people aren't Linux users. We all have different views, you don't have to agree but you do have to have some standards here.

You're not arguing, you're a fanatic pushing your views.
Indeed. Whenever the words "AMD" and "Linux" are on the same page on the Internet, there Shmerl is, with his AMD propoganda advocacy.
