Ray tracing features in games don't exist yet. Like the review says: you are buying these cards for their performance now and a PROMISE that they will be fully functinal in the future.
Not all board partners have transferable warranties. Comparing new to used is a slippery slope too.
The NVIDIA RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti's promise to be two of the fastest graphics cards ever produced. Let's see if our suite of performance benchmarks backs up that claim.
ARTICLE URL: OH, THEY'RE FAST
In this case I focused more on benchmarking than on writing about RTX features. Expect a...
Conclusion - The Fastest GPUs Ever, For A Price
Conclusion - The Fastest GPUs Ever, For A Price
With the RTX series, NVIDIA is trying to push the gaming industry towards an evolution that may lead to the titles we play taking one more step towards lifelike realism. They’re trying to sell an...
Overclocking Results - Pushing Framerate Possibilities
Overclocking Results - Pushing Framerate Possibilities
At this point should be more than obvious the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080’s heatsinks seem be more than ready to tackle the heat put out by the TU102 and TU104 cores. However, we’ve seen...
Acoustical Testing / System Power Consumption
Acoustical Testing
What you see below are the baseline idle dB(A) results attained for a relatively quiet open-case system (specs are in the Methodology section) sans GPU along with the attained results for each individual card in idle and load...
Analyzing Temperatures & Frequencies Over Time
Analyzing Temperatures & Frequencies Over Time
Modern graphics card designs make use of several advanced hardware and software facing algorithms in an effort to hit an optimal balance between performance, acoustics, voltage, power and heat output...
Witcher 3
Witcher 3 Performance
Other than being one of 2015’s most highly regarded games, The Witcher 3 also happens to be one of the most visually stunning as well. This benchmark sequence has us riding through a town and running through the woods; two elements that will likely take up the...
Wolfenstien - New Colossus (Vulkan)
Wolfenstien - New Colossus Vulkan Performance
This is the only Vulkan game in this entire review and that’s simply because this API just isn’t used all that much. It never has been. With that said, it has allowed id Tech to create an amazingly detailed...
Warhammer 2: Total War (DX12)
Warhammer 2: Total War DX12 Performance
Much of this game can be CPU-limited but by increasing in-game details to max, it puts a massive amount of stress on the GPU. Unfortunately, after years in beta, the DX12 implementation is still not all that great.
For...
Rainbow 6: Siege
Rainbow 6: Siege Performance
Rainbow 6: Siege has been around for a while now but it is continually receiving updates and it remains one of the best co-op multiplayer games on the market. Meanwhile, its UHD Texture Pack allows for some pretty great looking unit models and...
Middle Earth – Shadow of War
Middle Earth – Shadow of War Performance
Much like the original Middle Earth – Shadow of Mordor, the new Shadow of War takes place in a relatively open environment, offering plenty of combat and sweeping vistas. The benchmark run we chose starts on a rooftop in...
Overwatch
Overwatch Performance
Overwatch continues to be one of the most popular games around right now and while it isn’t particularly stressful upon a system’s resources, its Epic setting can provide a decent workout for all but the highest end GPUs. In order to eliminate as much...
Hitman (DX12)
Hitman DX12 Performance
The Hitman franchise has been around in one way or another for the better part of a decade and this latest version is arguably the best looking. Adjustable to both DX11 and DX12 APIs, it has a ton of graphics options, some of which are only available under...
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Performance
Hellblade is a game we wanted to feature here not just because of its amazing graphics and use of the ubiquitous Unreal Engine 4 but also because it’s from a small studio and it deals with mental illness. It’s a great game...
Forza Motorsports 7 (DX12)
Forza Motorsport 7 DX12 Performance
Forza 7 is a racing game with a very similar heart to the legendary Gran Turismo series and it looks simply epic. It also happens to use a pretty efficient DX12 implementation. For this benchmark we use the Spa-Francorchamps...
Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 Performance
With a beautiful open world but a day / night cycle that can play havoc with repetitive, accurate benchmarking, Far Cry 5 has a love / hate relationship around here. In this benchmark we use the area around the southwest region’s apple orchards but a basic...
Destiny 2
Destiny 2 Performance
Destiny is a game that continues to evolve to suit online gameplay and new game styles but it has always remained a good looking DX9-based title. For this benchmark we use the single player Riptide mission which combines environmental effects like rain, an open...
