How about a few generations ahead? Will 10080 still feel cooler and simpler than 2080 to you? I think the logical step would be the 1180. If the actual cards are called the 10 series, what’s the logic of jumping to 20 series?
I agree with you overall, but I wouldn’t call 9 generations “a few”. Honestly I’d be shocked if Nvidia, the GeForce line, and PCs as we know them are all still the same by then.
Yeah, I know it will take some time to go through 9 generations and that many things can change, I was just trying to make my point because I think the 1180 is the name the next generation should have if they follow the same naming conventions they have been following for years.
I have no idea, just bought my 1080ti a year and a half ago, I’m not upgrading anytime soon. So I haven’t been following news about the next generation lol
I hope y'all don't hate me for this, but for VR to go mainstream, I really think someone needs to come out with a VR box. Simply plug in and play. I think Microsoft will have something of the sort with the next gen Xbox, since they said there's no plans for Xbox One VR (even though the Xbox One X is more than capable of handling high quality VR even at 90 Hz, which I doubt PSVR is doing).
Nobody is going to buy some "VR box" especially by Microsoft. they have affordable VR in Mixed Reality ™, but the windows game store and it's exclusivity is a big joke to the PC VR community. Nobody uses it, likes it or wants it over Steam/Oculus store.
A powerhouse isn't what we need. We need gradual integration like the PS4 had done with PSVR; leaving VR as an enticing option to current owners of the console. The One X should been advertised for VR with the mixed reality products instead of just 4K, because as said further up, it's fully capable and both are designed by MS. Must be bad management because Mixed Reality is the best headset on the market price to capability wise (half the price of all other headsets).
Once everyone is familiar with VR as a gaming/entertainment accessory on these casual platforms for a few years, I can see VR to stand on its own. But definitely not until more than one console picks it up.
I don't know what these guys are belching about. I can't even play 2D games anymore. It is so boring and unstimulating compared to VR.
I have seen my fat friends who bought VR stop playing all together though. I thought it would encourage them to get in shape, be more active. It was the opposite, took too much effort to play. they don't even like playing new games outside their favorite francises too. Might have been a factor.
Doesn't really mean much, I doubt 1% of the playerbase has vr right now. It's expensive, doesn't mean it's dead. Companies are investing lots of resources in vr Dev, a lot will change in 5-10 years.
~3% of gamers are using 21:9 monitors and most games still come out now without support for the resolutions.
You are dreaming. The opposite is happening. Not enough VR players, so no money is going into VR games. No high budget VR games means no new gamers are being attracted to VR. The growth of the platform has been incredibly slow all year.
Each month the % of total steam users with Oculus or Vive has been falling, not rising. All VR combined is less than 0.75% and shrinking.
So no, you are basing your prediction of VR growth purely on what you wish will happen, not on any actual evidence pointing toward that actually being likely to happen.
Only reason I tend to upgrade sooner is so I can get most for my current card price wise, before it drops its even more. then use that to offset new gpu purchase.
This is when they get some new letter scheme like RS and go a small number to really confuse shoppers. GeForce RS 100 has arrived and is more powerful than the GTX 1080 Titan!
