Hi,

Is the new RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti supported?

Thanks,

Not yet.

I think I will be better off sticking with the GTX 1080's for awhile anyway. The prices are still reasonable and the power consumption is lower for a decent amount of compute power.

It will really be interesting to see the actual compute power benchmarks for the 20 Series before even considering blowing that kind of money on one. Going to need systems with bigger power supplies for anything more than a 2070 too.

Since the architecture embargo lifted today along with unboxing(who cares)I find it interesting about the differences in the SM architectures between Pascal and Turing. I think we might be pleasantly surprised by compute improvements.Turing shares more commonalities with Volta than it does with Pascal.

What I think may make the biggest differences in compute performance may come down to simultaneous FP64 and INT32 instructions running through the SM without penalty. Also the larger shared memory instructions caches will likely be a major boost. And finally, the bandwidth improvement simply from using the higher clocked GDDR6 over the GDDR5/X memory should help.

Compute benchmarks are out today at Anandtech. 200% faster on Geekbench 4 OpenCL compute benchmarks than Pascal. 30-40% faster on Folding@Home benchmarks.

CUDA/OpenCL compute benchmarks out at Phoronix.com.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Shows Very Strong Compute Performance Potential

Shouldn't higher Compute Cap be backwards compatible for code written for a lower CC?

Usually GPU-Grid is not compatible with new architecture generations for a few weeks. So I guess we're waiting for the first one to get a card, try and report to the team.

In this thread someone stated (along myself) that V100 weren't supported, failing with this message:

#SWAN: FATAL: cannot find image for module [.nonbonded.cu.] for device version 700

Indeed (RTX2080):

SWAN: FATAL: cannot find image for module [.nonbonded.cu.] for device version 750

Shouldn't this get fixed by simply allowing the app to understand what a 700 or 750 device is?

I'm confused about "compatibility". According to the performance page there are 32 RTX 2080's crunching away.

That "32" number is most likely the amount of WUs a 2080 has returned because if you look at the 1080ti, I don't think there are over 2000 1080tis crunching away here.
It looks like there are perhaps only 1-2 2080s here but as for why they work is actually a mystery. It took a long time to gain Pascal support in this application due to the new CUDA version. This is also a new CUDA version so I am not sure why it works.

Where does this 32 came from?
I can't find it.
The GPUs are listed on the bottom of the performance page, in the blue box plot.

They don't work. If you click on the given result's id, you can see that it was crunched on a different GPU (usually on a GTX1080Ti), but the user changed their GPU in the meantime.

I just looked again and can't find the RTX data. I don't think I imagined it yesterday. Anyway, your answer makes sense. Thanks.

I wanted to understand if it was just the "tensor core" aspect of the RTX that was not supported yet, or the whole dang thing.

Pretty sure none of the other projects that do run on 20XX use the tensor cores. I really don't understand why GPUGRID doesn't run on these. Higher CUDA version cards should be backward compatible with lower version CUDA code... (right?)

Pascal took a while before there was a compatible app. Not as long as Asteroids but some update seems to be required. Newer cards can run older cuda apps for sure but it might be that older apps don't recognize newer cards as having cuda hardware.

On the Performance Tab, the "GPU Performance Ranking" chart (Blue chart at bottom of page) currently shows 55 RTX2080ti GPUs.
Ave=6.65455h
Min=2.7h
Max=11.5h

It is the 10th GPU from the right hand side, in between TITAN X and Tesla M60.

This time I can see it too, but I'm sure it's a bug in the way the Performance tab collects the data for this statistics, as it's not prepared to handle hosts with multiple GPUs, and hosts with recently replaced (upgraded) GPUs.
