Nvidia Geforce Rtx 2080 8 Gb Graphics Card Officially Unleashed For Gamers
Even with DLSS and ray tracing enabled at 4K the RTX 2080 Ti still had a commanding lead. Still a clear win overall for the RTX 3070, though, given it costs a third of the price. Antony Leather See my review of the RTX 3080 for more technical information on Nvidia’s new graphics cards. Still, with an average 15.5 percent increase in frame rates and the occasional 47.4 percent outlier, RTX graphics offer a solid improvement over GTX — enough so that the RTX 2080 could be worth an extra $200, depending on how much you value the performance boost.
We’re going to get our hooks into PC-gaming developers through lower-cost special effects that just happen to be exclusive to Nvidia cards.The catch, of course, is the future tense. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2080 Ti launches today in reference variants first for $799 US founders edition while the normal variants would start for $699 US. This time, NVIDIA has already given the green light to their manufacturers to announce custom cards soon after the reference launch which are gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb now available to pre-order on the official GeForce webpage. Coming to the specifications in-detail, the Samsung 16 Gb GDDR6 memory die will be built on the 10nm process node which Samsung is calling as the most advanced memory node to date. It will double the density of their GDDR5 solution which was composed of a 20nm 8 Gb die. According to Samsung, their solution will be operating at up to 18 Gbps against a previous standard speed of 16 Gbps and that is a big deal here.
On the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark on Very High at 1080p, the RTX 2080 hit 76 frames per second, surpassing the 67 fps from the GTX 1080, which marks a 13.4 percent improvement. The GTX version of the GT75 Titan costs $3,999, while the RTX version runs for $4,199, which means you’re paying an extra $200 to add some ray tracing and DLSS to your life. The two key features that Nvidia’s RTX chips boast are ray tracing and DLSS . Ray-tracing technology allows any source of in-game light to mimic the properties of a light source in real life, resulting in photo-realistic shadows and reflections. In October 2018, PC Gamer reported the supply of the 2080 Ti card was “extremely tight” after availability had already been delayed.
The 20 series marked the introduction of Nvidia’s Turing microarchitecture, and the first generation of RTX cards, the first in the industry to implement realtime hardware ray tracing in a consumer product. In a departure from Nvidia’s usual strategy, the 20 series doesn’t have an entry level range, leaving it to the 16 series to cover this segment of the market. Outside of our benchmark tests, the Nvidia also managed to achieve 40 fps while playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 4K and the highest settings available. Destiny 2 delivered even better numbers with a frame rate hovering between fps, once again at 4K and Ultra settings, not to mention HDR turned on. DirectX 12 Ultimate is the new standard for next-gen games, taking them to a whole new level of realism and performance with ray tracing, variable rate shading, mesh shaders, and more. With GeForce RTX, you’ll be ready for the most advanced and graphically intensive PC games.
In Hitman, for example, the gtx 1090 breezed through Agent 47’s Paris catwalk benchmark with an average frame rate of 78fps on Ultra at 4K, and even hitting an average of 93fps on Ultra at 1440p. That’s a couple of frames ahead of the GTX 1080Ti, but highly-optimised games such as Doom and Wolfenstein II showed even greater gains. Here, the RTX 2080 was hitting up to 120fps in both shooters on max settings at 4K, while the GTX 1080Ti often maxed out around the 100fps mark. Neither of these results will be much use if you only have a 60Hz monitor, of course, but those with higher refresh rate screens may appreciate the extra leeway. Across the board, the RTX 2080 proved itself a highly capable card that’s got more than enough chops for 4K gaming on high graphics settings, as well as a very admirable partner for those after max settings at higher refresh rates further down the resolution scale.
New example features in Turing included mesh shaders, rRay tracing cores , tensor cores, dedicated Integer cores for concurrent execution of integer, and floating point operations. In the GeForce 20 series, this real-time ray tracing is accelerated by the use of new RT cores, which are designed to process quadtrees and spherical hierarchies, and speed up collision tests with individual triangles. As for those still gaming at 2560×1440, the RTX 2080 is massive overkill no matter which way you slice it. You’ll still have great looking games at good speeds with these cards, and you needn’t bankrupt yourself in the process either.
