And the moment a lot of PC gamers have been waiting for has arrived. The first third-party benchmarks for NVIDIA’s latest graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 2080Ti and the GeForce RTX 2080 are now live.
The first benchmarks are coming from OverclockersClub. We’ll try to focus on the games that NVIDIA has not covered in its official graphs. As such, we can see from OverclockersClub’s tests that the GeForce RTX 2080Ti is unable to run Ghost Recon Wildlands with 60fps in 4K on Ultra details. On the other hand, NVIDIA’s latest graphics card was able to run with more than 60fps in 4K both Far Cry 5 and The Witcher 3. Here are the games in the following screenshots (since there aren’t included in them). From left to right: Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Highest settings with SMAA 4X), Far Cry 5, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Battlefield 1 and The Witcher 3).
On the other hand, TechpowerUp has tested some other games like Grand Theft Auto V, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Prey and Dragon Quest XI. Apart from Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, NVIDIA’s latest graphics card was able to run these games in 4K with an average of 60fps.
Overclock3D has also published its review, in which it tested Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Monster Hunter World, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Last but not least, Guru3D has tested some other games like Resident Evil 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and Final Fantasy XV. What’s really cool here is that Guru3D has recorded the FFXV benchmark, showing in action the new anti-aliasing technique, DLSS.

This is what Hilbert of Guru3D concluded:
“”The 2080 Ti seen from a 1080 Ti purely based on shading performance is impressive, but the big question remaining is that extra 25 to 40% extra performance worth the
price tag?
Purely based on rasterized/shaded game performance I would say no. The extra money needs to be found in the RT and Tensor cores, thus raytracing, DLSS and everything new that will follow from the new cores.
DLSS I am savvy about, at least from what I have seen at the NVIDIA event and here with FFXV and the EPIC demos, but that is a limited scope of software to form an objective opinion on.””
DLSS does seem to help with performance though (not that much):

That’s underwhelming.
40% is a lot, so what’s your definition of “not much”?
problem is.. the card may be amazing
but the price is absolutely F**ked after taxes and import fees
not to mention i don’t want to encourage Nvidia to make 1200$ a standard…
maybe after the first or second price drop i’ll then consider buying it
after all, aside from Metro and KCD, what is there to even play?
Now I want the RTX 2080 Ti. Assassin’s Creed: Origins 4K performance is all I wanted to see.
I’ll probably get a 2080Ti in the beginning of 2019 for VR. Looks like my oldest son is inheriting my 1080Ti. He’ll be happy to hear that.

I guess it’s time to grit my teeth and just buy a 1080ti after all. Benchmarks are nice but it doesn’t seem to justify the price(s).
Lol most of these benchmarks appear to be bottlenecked.
i mean an i5 8400 somehow bottlenecks gtx 1080ti so it’s not surprising at all.
That kind of price is not worth it even if it gave me 100 %more fps. Id rather wait a year or 2 and get the same kind of fps for 300-600$.
