We are pretty sure that a lot of gamers are looking forward to the third-party gaming benchmarks for NVIDIA’s upcoming Turing graphics cards. However, and while it was previously reported that these reviews would go live on September 14th, it appears that gamers will have to wait a few more days.
As Videocardz reported, the embargo that will be lifted on September 14th will be for the Turing architecture and not for the RTX2080 or RTX2080Ti reviews. This information will be basically useless to most gamers as we’ve already heard a lot about the Turing architecture and most of us want to see these GPUs in action.
So when can we expect the first third-party benchmarks to go live? As Videocardz pointed out, the embargo for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080 reviews will be lifted on September 17th and the one for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti will be lifted one day prior to its official launch, on September 20th.
Until then we may get some leaks here and there but those interested in real/legit benchmarks will have to wait almost until the official launch date of these brand new graphics cards!

I’m very much looking forward to these reviews. It’s not too long now. Around 2 weeks. For the 2080 Ti I have seen everything from 20% to 50% faster than the 1080 Ti for current games leaked and speculated on. It will be good to have concrete numbers from trusted sites.
Hoping for on average 50% faster like the previous two generations over the last but we’ll see.
Hey look! faster performance at a higher price! What a surprise these benchmarks are going to be! Can’t wait for the $400 2060 to see how it beats GTX1060. Yawn!
Just Buy It?
Future Media bought Tom’s Hardware. Safe bet that site will continue
to lose more credibility.
Ditto! The new editor there responsible for having written that article has utterly destroyed any remaining credibility the site had.
Another scummy thing from Nvidia but since cards will likely be scarce no one will be able to buy one for the first few weeks/months regardless.
All game developers, hardware manufacturers have non disclosure dates, not just nvidia. They are scummy, but hey, welcome to the adult world, where businesses are not your friend and only want your money. AMD are no different
You think NDA’s are the issue I’m taking with Nvidia?? Um, sorry if my point wasn’t clear, I assumed it was obvious. I find it scummy of Nvidia to lift review Embargo’s three days and one day before launch of the product. AMD did a similar thing with the Vega series and that was a scumbag thing to do too.
Look I get it, they want as much time as possible to optimize for benchmarks but to me it shows lack of faith in a product. Your condescending welcome to “adult world” aside; I’m not looking to make friends or fanboy of any company.
Fair enough, I just think calling them scum bags for a practice employed within industry as standard is kinda silly.
They are scum bags for sure, but they only doing what the rest of scum bag industry does

John you wont cover this?
Digital foundry already covered this in some respects. It’s optimisations they’ve done to strike a balance between ray tracing accuracy and performance.

i’m not sure what drama is.
Oh ok
Thx tho
This Indian guy keeps calling me, claiming he’s from “Windows” and asks how many 2080TIs I want to buy from him.
I decided to buy two from him. Gave him my CC number over the phone. EASY PEASY! Can’t wait to get them. Although he never asked for my mailing address, but I figure he can get that info from my phone number.
Lol you are an idiot, you should have give him your SS and power of attorney.
Those Indian guys are always in windows ever since the new CEO of window wipers. I wouldn’t have trusted him to look up your address they may not send your cards. You won’t miss too much since there isn’t anything to support the vrlink and since it’s a 1080p card and all..
Waiting on non-partner reviews.
Yet your beloved console is powered by AMD.

1080ti price drop looks tempting
Off Topic:
Did you guys hear about what 2K is doing in Belgium. As everyone knows the Belgian Gaming Commission has ruled that loot boxes are a form of gambling and they must be removed from games. Publishers are working to comply with the law but 2K thinks it’s unfair and has asked it’s fans of the NBA 2K series to contact their government officials to get the ruling overturned. They just don’t know when to admit they are beaten, at least in Belgium.
LOL
I bought 7 based off that article alone
Private or (((authorized))) reviews?
unless there is a direct gameplay correlation with the user showing the setting
and playing the game, trust no one.
