hey how's it gone Dave 2d here okay RTX 2080 r-tx 22 TI these are the new Nvidia cards have spend quite a bit of time testing games on these things and you're probably interested in benchmarks so here we go benchmarks I'm grouping these up by pricing tier instead of just by model name I feel like it's a more fair comparison instead of just by the naming the r-tx 20 series GPUs are fast as heck at 1440p they're ready giving a noticeable boost over the previous generation but at higher resolutions it's very significant the performance gains vary by a decent spread depending on the title but at high resolutions these new cards are crazy fast the 2080 is awesome the 20 DTI is even more so this card is doing stuff that I've never seen before in any graphics card being able to play witcher 3 at almost 80 frames per second at 4k with everything turned up playing siege on ultra at 4k at over 144 frames per second it's crazy now I'm using the Acer X 27 display it's a 4k 144 Hertz and gsync panel the detail that I'm seeing in the game at 4k and then being able to see everything run really smooth in-game especially at that kind of resolution is nutty now I want to take a look at the cards themselves I like the aesthetic of the previous 10 Series fanners Edition more I always thought that they look like Ninja Turtles the new 20 series have a more generic look to it I still think they look good but they're just less visually iconic they're black and silver nothing really I catching but I think they do look good they're also not a blower style fan configuration like the older founders editions from previous generations a lot of them were kind of a blower style these are an open-air dual fan design with vapor chambers and it delivers really good performance like both of these founders Edition cards run quiet and cool way quieter and way cooler than I expected they're slightly overclocked out of the factory so I think they did a good job with thermal management there are other AIB partners available they're going to make in cars that are give me a little bit cheaper and obviously with different cooler styles and stuff if you are looking for a blower style I know that Asus is going to be making one eventually I think soon I'm probably gonna pick up one of those because I prefer the blower style for the smaller cases that I put them in so I'm going to focus the rest of this video on kind of a bigger question like are these r-tx 20 series cards really worth the money because these are very expensive this goes for 800 this goes for 1,200 I believe us now these are not like the cheapest versions of the arktech series cards these are the founders editions eventually AIB partners will put out cheaper ones but if you want to pick up one right now that's the price you're gonna pay and that's not cheap the 20 DTI is not a value oriented product right it's obviously extremely expensive but because it's the most powerful GPU on the market right now it can have that kind of pricing it's greedy in my opinion but it can have that kind of pricing the 2080 like the regular one on paper seems fairly priced for the performance of getting right it's way better than a GTX 1080 slightly better than a 1080 Ti the turn architecture is more efficient you get ray tracing capabilities you get DLS s capabilities it seems like a pretty good option for someone who's interested in high res high performance high frame rate gaming but to kind of get into this a little bit further we have to understand what ray tracing and DL SS are and I'm not going to go into crazy detail but just a brief understanding ray tracing right now is an underdeveloped and unoptimized technology we've seen some really impressive demos and they look awesome but there's a huge performance trade-off and right now I don't that trade-off is worth it for the improved realism in shadows and lighting like it's not an invidious fault this hardware has to exist this first generation of r-tx has to exist in consumers hands before developers going to spend the time and energy and effort it takes to make ray-traced games like it just has to happen for this industry to move in that direction but that doesn't mean that this first generation of cards is the one to get now there's a second technology that our tech supports that I think is way cooler it's DL SS so this uses machine learning to massively increase the speed and efficiency that these cards are able to output games in 4k it's mostly done through Nvidia like they just take the game in advance they run it through their supercomputer they get some data that these cards can use to basically optimize the way that they're pushing out frame rates now the problem with these two technologies are T X ray tracing and RT X D LSS is that as a consumer if you're buying these cards right now you're betting on this technology to take off in the future it's not that the arch X 20 series is underwhelming or underperforming it's just that the 10 series card from the previous generation did really really well if anything it's a testament as to how good the 10 series was because it's still so good at delivering amazing performance for current titles now this review of the RT X 20 series isn't comprehensive there aren't any RT X titles for me to really test out there's just a lot of demos of DL SS and demos of RT X but I really want to kind of dig deeper into this whole thing as titles come out in the near future I also want to try these things out in external GPU configurations but my overall take on this right now is that if you're into 1080p gaming don't look at these cards at all 10 series all the way for 1080p if you're into 1440p gaming the 10 series cards still do a really good job at it but the 20 series cards start to show their advantage there but at 4k gaming if you want the ultimate experience in visual quality and frame rate especially we have one of those big TVs that support high frame rate 20 series is phenomenal for that but just in my opinion if you're picking up these cards don't pick them up exclusively for the technologies like ray tracing and deal because that stuff is still in the mix okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs we liked it subs if you loved it see you guys next time
