The performance with RTX enabled is far from acceptable. The top of the line RTX 2080 Ti is able to run the game at 1080p 60 FPS with RTX enabled. The performance drops when you turn the resolution up to 1440p. At that point the game is only playable at 30 FPS. This is not the kind of performance that you expect from a $1100 graphics card.
The same is the case with the Nvidia RTX 2080, you will only be able to play Battlefield V at 1080p 60 FPS. Moving to 1440p will result in one-third the performance as compared to when RTX is turned off.
 
The RTX 2070 might be the bare minimum requirement for real-time ray tracing according to Nvidia but I think the bar is set very low. The card is unable to run Battlefield V a 1080p 60 FPS when RTX is turned on. This remains to be the case even when RTX is set to low. The RTX 2070 is able to hit 110 FPS with RTX turned off. When RTX is set to ultra the FPS drops to 53 on average and when it is turned down to low, then the average FPS is 32. That is really low performance with RTX on keeping in mind that this is a $500 graphics card.
 
I am sure that no one is going to get a $1100 graphics card and then kill the performance by two-thirds just to have better reflection effects at 1080p 60 FPS. If you are interested in getting a new graphics card then you are better off sticking to Pascal. You should wait for the next-generation graphics cards that are supposed to release in 2020, based on the 7nm process.
 
 

NVidia announced the Quadro RTX just before they announced the Gaming RTX. Had NVidia used the Quadro RTX to start game development rather than rush the gaming card out, there could have been a fantastic launch.

Instead, NVidia showed their greed and still hasn’t made a few of the Quadro available.

Quadro may not be specifically meant for building games, but I guarantee they could have helped get the games ready if NVidia would have just worked with the developers well ahead of time.

Its not even the RTX performance that is unacceptable, its normal performance is as well. Yea sure if you compare 2080 ti to 1080ti, 2080 to 1080, 2070 to 1070, there is a performance boost, but that is ignoring the fact that a 2080 is competing with the 1080ti, not the 1080 price wise. in which the performance in non rtx work loads is the same. That is not what 2 years in computer hardware should bring you. 
 
The only thing that improved in its price bracket was the 2080ti beating the titan xp... and it doesnt beat it by enough imo. 
 
Im fine with the ray tracing performance in its current state, even with the cheats they are using to make it easier to do, its still more expensive then zbuffering which makes a gpu redraw a scene twice.

Don't tell me what to do. You're not my real dad!

I noticed Nvidia stock is down sharply due to the RTX woes generally
 
 

Unlikely it had anything to do with RTX woes. Most likely it was due to NVidia flooding the market with 10 series cards. NVidia stated that specifically during their phone call to share holders.

When the crypto boom stopped, NVidia expected prices to normalize and old gen cards to go away quick, but they didn’t.

NVidia fell short of earnings by a lot.

“Moreover, the company issued extremely weak fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $2.70 billion, plus or minus 2%, representing a decline of about 7% year over year. The Street was looking for $3.4 billion, or growth of nearly 17%.”.

That caused their stock to plummet, not RTX

I’d bet a small amount of $$$ that Nvidia starts production of at least the Titan Xp again (exact same processor as 1080 ti but 1 1gb more mem). I have somewhat less faith that they give those chips to partners to make 1080 ti’s.

all about weak sales - Post Crypto boom

I think it completely forgets about people who might have a 970 or older video card. If you have a series 10 card you probably wouldn't see as much benefit but for someone looking to upgrade the 20 series isn't bad. It mostly focuses on Ray Tracing instead of DLSS which both you don't get with the 10 series. Also doesn't cover the fact that finding a 1080Ti can be harder then finding one of the new cards and if you do you could be paying just as much. For example on the EVGA website you can only get a 1070Ti as the top of the line 10 series card right now as the 1080 is sold out and the 1080Ti isn't even listed anymore.

not a good thing to say to people on keplers

I think it is a fine thing to say, If they wanted the performance the rtx cards give at a given price point, they would have already gotten it, since outside of the 2080ti, its the same as the outgoing cards.

My reasons to skip have little to do with any editorials on the subject, I went from a GTX260 to a GTX1080 Ti, I suppose my next upper max would be RTX90's...

Doesn't matter when you upgrade, they will release something so "next-gen" 3 hours later.

RTX won't be a meaningful option until about 2 or 3 hardware generations from now. It's the same problem VR has. For humor, the new RTX cards even have the new VR port standard in them. By the time headset manufacturers use the port standard the 2000-series will be at least 1 hardware generation older. Hardware hasn't caught up to expectations or needs.

given i only have a conventional 1920x1080 panel, i can make do with most any video card
 
and with prices softening like mad. I might find some pesos and bid for a maybe a 14nm card or 2
