If it helps, it does not work on a GTX 1080 TI

[Wolf]

For those who would like to give it a try, it seems that (at the time of writing this) it doesn't work on an nVidia GTX 1080 TI, even with updated drivers.
Figured I'd save you the time for testing ^^

2060 is the minimum

This why the shop sites have the minimum technical requirements on them, just saying.

Yes well I saw that a few days ago then completely forgot about it lol. I didnt actually think it would actually prevent older tech from playing the game either way.

Sure, sometimes you can still run stuff on older hardware, i did this myself for quite some time. But well... if it already lists an RTX-Card as minimum...

People out here talking sh#t about 1080 have no clue; it's like talking sh#t about 4090 in 5 years; when you drop that kind of cash on a graphics card you expect it to go over 10 years; the cheap cards you pay a few hundred dollars for expect it to last 2-3. 4090 will outperform newer cards for a long time, the same way 1080 did and still does. I've been buying cards since early 90s before most of you were born; the new gen have no respect for their money; they literally switch $2K phones every year and think that's normal behaviour that their tech just dies or become obsolete that quickly. I still have cell phones from the 90s that work like they did on their first day. This is the same gen that accepted micro-transactions in games that end up paying thousands of dollars over time for a free game. Burn all your money for all I care, but don't be smug about it. Also don't be shocked when you're in your 50s and don't own anything.

FF7-Rebirth is apparently now requiring RTX level, maybe because of DX12 Ultimate mesh and other feature comparability. Nothing to do with RT (supposedly).

It's just that period of time where tech is changing and older hardware finally isn't being supported. Sucks especially if the timing is good for some, but it happens occasionally.

PS I've also been buying hardware since the 90's. Well, mid-90's anyway. I miss the past sometimes, but I try not to live in it. The own-nothing future is true (and scary) tho. Just doesn't bother me too much at this point regarding optional games/entertainment - but that can bleed over into more important things (like cars, fridges, homes, whatever, etc).

A 1080 Ti still outperforms a PS5 when RT isn't involved, its problem is that the card got released in a time where there were no tensor cores so any game that requires RT will not work.

When it comes to Raw power, the 1080 Ti even outshines a 2080 Super (!) in some games.

It was one of the best value GPUs of all time and it would still be competitive if there would be a way to add tensor cores. I moved on many years ago but will always remember that GPU fondly. You were getting performance from the far future when you got that GPU on release day.
We cannot say the same about the 40XX series.

Indeed, I mean eventually the 1080ti will be obsolete but that day isn't here quite yet, my big gripe in steam forums is nvidia started feeding people overpriced dogshite while calling it elixir from the heavens after 1xxx line and gamers being stupid bent over and said ty and peeps here defend that tooth and nail...lmao

It will be obsolete when light based circuits and CPUs become a thing. R&D has already hit the limitations with physics hence why these things are sucking more power and the heatsinks are getting bigger. Big companies have played chicken with Moore's law for so long that they might end up crashing head-on against it really soon. But that's not before games become so unoptimized even these cut down data center GPUs (looking at you 50 series) wont be enough to chug at 1080p 30fps because super expensive games are produced in 2 years instead of 3 or 4 and also not before executives start killing their companies with really horrible budget allocation.

Forgive the hyperbole. Usually this stuff happens at a pace that's hard to notice. Forced RT is usually a sign that they're strapped for time since it's a lot faster to implement than traditional lighting and shadows.

Always contested raytracing, saw this coming years ago. Nothing but paywall practice. GTX cards are capable of raytracing, heck it can be run directly through the CPU just like PhysX. They don't need Tensor cores. The reason Nvidia is pushing Tensor cores is to generate more sales through forced obsolescence and AI mining.

I am not going to throw out my money just because NVIDIA wants to sell more GPUs this year...

[Frans]

A bit sad when people think downgrading to a $200 budget card is helpful advice.

The GTX 1080 TI is an old but great card for the old school gaming @ 1080p resolution.

However, this game would require at least a RTX 2060 Super minimum with 8GB of RAM... go under your steam support and request a refund for the game if you haven't already. Your current hardware won't handle it at all.

Mainly the issue is that GPU Hardware Ray Tracing is required for this game.

This is what I’m talking about, the ‘gotten’.

Firstly GTX 1080 supports up-to 8K, not 1080P. Yes, it doesnt support RT.

Secondly, everyone on this thread already knows the software enforced requirements.

The issue is that most games allow you to enable or disable RT and the game still runs flawlessly on GTX 1080 without it. You just lose some pretty reflection aesthetics.

This is an issue because it’s a software enforced requirement and hence a way to force peoples hands to drop their already capable devices. Given enough people tip over and accept this awful business practice it continues. Same way you buy the same phone over and over and think you’re upgrading because an OS update forces your hand.

I feel the young generation have already been got and they control the numbers and the needle; so feels like a lost battle. They are ok with thieves having their hands in their pockets forever.

Well the fact is it is just a game, much like hundreds of others that come out every year. If you dont have the software requirement you dont buy it, unless you are planning to upgrade for other games as well like I am. But it isnt going to be a massive loss not to play this game really is it? In the scheme of things it is very minor. I mean I am pretty sure I will play it for a few hours then never look at it again.

You’re missing the point; and in a way sadly proving mine.
