Nvidia announces Battlefield 5 Bundle with RTX graphics cards
NVIDIA sends word that if you purchase a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 or 2070 graphics cards you'll be eligible for a free copy of Battlefield V.
Nvidia; to celebrate the launch of Battlefield V, we’re now offering the critically-acclaimed game, at participating partners, with the purchase of eligible GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070 graphics cards and systems. If you want to immerse yourself in Battlefield V at stunning levels of detail and to experience the future of gaming with the first release of DXR Ray Tracing, GeForce RTX is the only way to play. For the definitive Battlefield V PC gaming experience, head over to our GeForce RTX Battlefield V bundle page to discover which partners in your country are participating, and which GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070 graphics cards are eligible.
Please note, if you are buying an eligible GeForce RTX GPU, ensure the seller is participating in the Battlefield V bundle program as NVIDIA cannot provide download codes and coupons for purchases made at non-participating retailers and e-tailers.

Yeah, start the jokes about 60fps at 1080.......but I'm playing BF5 with a Zotac 2080ti Amp at 3440 x 1440 on a Predator G-Sync monitor on ULTRA....yes, ULTRA! Smooth as butter...yes, the card was stupidly expensive and my butt hasn't un-clenched yet....but still, the experience is pretty much what I thought it would be. Glad I waited a little bit, and bought a Channel Partner card...NOT FE!!!....My only complaint is the limited single player portion of BF5....can't wait until Atomic Heart comes out....

The joke is not a joke, try rtx on then brag how you play on ultra at ultra wide monitor.

Yaaay, let's get an RTX card to play literally the only game out there that actually supports ray-tracing, but then swiftly disable it, because it's unplayable on anything above 1080p (one could argue even that is too much for the card in multiplayer). :p

This. Any statements for 60fps at 1080p would have related to ray tracing enabled.
So... this card is "only" 250€ overpriced now?

Hilarious, watched a review where it was hardly hitting 40fps with rtx on at 59hz. Granted its poineering tech but lets face it it's never going to hit 144fps with the current gen. At this point RTX is a failure.

Nobody who seriously looked at it expected 144 fps anyway,
I don't think anybody bought a RTX card just for the raytracing features.
The constant comments of 1080p with raytracing or raytracing is a failure etc is just ignorance on their part.

The rtx comments are getting spam like and tiresome. Off topic too.

Pretty much as expected. BFV was one of the main titles for RTX and is the only game that currently supports it. Of course the irony is that most would prefer to play without RTX for higher frame rates.
How is it off topic? The RTX connection is apparent to just about anyone (it's no accident that this game was chosen for the bundle).

Artifacts are a feature for RTX owners. Like a hidden present. Nothing to spam about. If you are lucky you will enjoy them, only bad&selfish customers ask for a refund or replacement. The same goes for 30 fps with RTX on. Gamers do not need more than 30 fps. (see consoles)

RXT is not competitive because of the fps ... I made some games now and I killed a lot more than I died. In COD black4 they were playing on 20 Hz servers that actually meant 20 fps and no one complained. When I got to know this, I learned why I liked Beta and found the final game to be horrible.

I posted in the other thread but:
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-battlefield-5-rtx-ray-tracing-analysis
One of the optimisations that is built into the BVHs are our use of “overlapped” compute - multiple compute shaders running in parallel. This is not the same thing as async compute or simultaneous compute. It just means you can run multiple compute shaders in parallel. However, there is an implicit barrier injected by the driver that prevents these shaders running in parallel when we record our command lists in parallel for BVH building. This will be fixed in the future and we can expect quite a bit of performance here since it removes sync points and wait-for-idles on the GPU.
We also plan on running BVH building using simultaneous compute during the G-Buffer generation phase, allowing ray tracing to start much earlier in the frame, and the G-Buffer pass. Nsight traces shows that this can be a big benefit. This will be done in the future.
Another optimisation we have in the pipe and that almost made launch was a hybrid ray trace/ray march system. This hybrid ray marcher creates a mip map on the entire depth buffer using a MIN filter. This means that every level takes the closest depth in 2x2 regions and keeps going all the way to the lowest mip map. Because this uses a so-called min filter, you know you can skip an entire region on the screen while traversing.
With this, ray binning then accelerates the hybrid ray traverser tremendously because rays are fetched from the same pixels down the same mip map thereby having super efficient cache utilisation. If your ray gets stuck behind objects as you find in classic screen-space reflections, this system then promotes the ray to become a ray trace/world space ray and continue from the failure point. We also get quality wins here as decals and grass strands will now be in reflections.
We have optimised the denoiser as well so it runs faster and we are also working on optimisations for our compute passes and filters that run throughout the ray tracing implementation.

There are some pretty large optimizations coming down the pipe for RTX in BF5.

Really this principle is a bit chaotic in FPS but if that is a 2080 ti I have a 2090ti with the name 2080 .... Because my everything with ULTRA and with RTX turned on made it better. Sorry but if you paid 1500 euros you were robbed my 2080 only cost 800 euros delivered the same. I already played the campaign almost all with FPS much above 80/100+.
