Unfortunately, due to multiple non-disclosure agreements we signed, we can only tell you that Shadow of the Tomb Raider looks stunning with ray tracing turned on.

Although we haven’t had the chance to benchmark the card thoroughly, we did get to play multiple PC games at 4K and in excess of 60 frames per second (fps) with the RTX 2080 Ti at Nvidia’s GeForce Gaming Celebration event at Gamescom 2018.

In terms of frame rate, Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at a mostly consistent 50-57 fps, which is impressive giving the game is running on a single GPU and in such an early state – on top of all the new ray tracing techniques.

We also played Battlefield V and Metro: Exodus with Nvidia RTX turned on, and saw performance run in excess of 100 fps at 4K and Ultra settings. You can see our Battlefield V gameplay above (we shared it with PC Gamer), which was captured through the Nvidia GeForce Experience app.

I call BS on most of their Ray Tracing performance figures. They claim they are getting over 100FPS on BattleField V at 4K when Ray Tracing is turned on? That's rubbish, Eidos said just lately that they can barely reach 30fps at 4K at the moment. 4A gaming say they hope to get their game running at 60fps with 1080p by February.

Funny they mention PC gamer, because PC gamer say the games were running at 1080p and struggling to reach 60fps with Ray Tracing on. The Video the Tech Radar site references is running at 1080p.

I believe Tech Radar doesn't have a clue.
 
I would say the over 100 fps at 4k is using DLSS and not Ray Tracing. They were a bit vague there.
 
I think the ray tracing effects are unrealistic and tacky, and a waste of resources. Resources for which the consumers heavily pays the price for. The water in FarCry 5 for example looks much better than any demos we've seen from ray tracing so far, without the need to spend $1200 and 100's of mm of die space wasted. Nv is going all out on their public disinformation campaign, and i think they realize they are screwed if they can't convince everyone that ray tracing is better than sliced bread. Controlling the media is part of that process. I wonder who else uses that tactic?

Wow. They really call that piece of shitty writing a review? They're not allowed to actually talk about most things and yet they still have the balls to label it as them reviewing the card? Fuck that site.

Green King says Yes, at least 2 of them are for you... our cloud will activate your card and drivers, remember only the good reviews are our reviews, the other reviews or comments, fake review.


I'm curious if use nvlink with a pair of 2080 Ti how much improvement we'll see in Ray Tracing... nVidia seems to be looking to build market for mult-GPU's by their comments how nvlink is here now, however really opens the door to next gen cards.

2018 will go down as a lost year in gaming. Basically everything sucked. The next generation of GPUs after this might finally be fast enough for 4k. There were no good monitor releases. What a shit year.

Great year for CPU's it looks to be but WTF with the GPU's indeed.

Yeah it seemed like 2017 all the prices were great then memory and gpus went nuts. I want a coffee lake/z370 system but memory and gpu prices have limited me to just a gpu upgrade on my x58 system now that those prices have mostly normalized.

I can't fathom preordering these cards with articles like these. They're so vague it's like they're hiding something.
