Ray tracing is amazing.

Well, bad

All results in one place

On DLSS thingy

Well, guys focus on 4K with artificial setups, like adding 3 slow plugins and 4 tracking areas.

And they directly are interested in certain tests outcome (with different outcomes they'll go burst), hence all the parameter choosing.

Davinci by design (node based, tend to add constant features with slow code) is worst possible candidate for such tests.

In reality if you write NLE proper 1050 Ti works perfect with 4K at 60fps with one tracking area and color grading+sharpness and other stuff.

True. However Node based compositors can (and some do) use GPU acceleration. Fusion however does not, using mainly CPU code (or openCL which mostly falls back to CPU).

Most image transforms should be calculated with shaders. Shaders can handle high bit depth color, and are super simple to implement.

Up until now, main issue with shaders was that raw shader code was not compiled, hence any user could easily be discovered. Vulkan allows compiled shaders, so I suspect that more proprietary softwares will embrace this technology now.

Price of RTX 2060 is rumored to be $400

To be short - go and buy ex mining RX 580 8GB.

Back to GeForce RTX 2060

• Card will have 3GB, 4GB and 6GB versions
• Also will have older GDD5X and new GDDR6 versions

Total mess.

Well, if you will find good deal. But I suggest to look locally, as risk is significant.
