We are at the end of the console cycle, which means games hardware requirements will plateau until the next gens are out. So from now, at 1080p, a 1070 is enough to handle everything at 60fps until then. That probably translates to a 2060 this generation - which is the card I'm really interested in. Other than that Nvidia cards are severely restricted due to their lack of support for Adaptive Sync or HDMI 2.1 VRR.

Considering that 1070 is struggling already with some 2016 games[1], I find the claim that it would be able to handle everything until next console gen comes out (2020 earliest?) very dubious. [1] https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1941

Don't forget that NVIDIA is not only a gaming company. They are involved in a lot of computational geometry fields, localization reconstruction, machine learning, etc. There are a lot of use cases for ray tracing that are not games. So far NVIDIA has done a great job at changing their GPU architecture in a way that is mutually beneficial to all of their diverse customer base.

The use case that seems obvious to me is computationally efficient ray-tracing in robotics/autonomy simulation. I wonder if ISAAC sim will take advantage of RTX. What do you think?
