okay what are we reviewing today seriously this this is what we have to review well okay let's get this over with this is the twenty eighty super review it's the card that literally nobody cares about but we're gonna review it anyway before that this video is brought to you by us and the GN store the best way to support our independent reporting is through store gamers nexus net this is made possible with your purchases of merch like our GN medium mod matte in stock and shipping now and designed with GPU teardown diagrams and grids our 100% custom-made two tone shirt is also a great way to help and it's currently on sale the shirt uses 95% cotton and 5% of lasting for a sporty fit with vibrant colors and was designed entirely by the GN team learn more at the link in the description below or go to store documents access dotnet here's the problem with this card it's completely fine it there's not really any problems with it so then that's the problem the problem is nvidia is launching another 10 80 TI 1080 TI version three now where you can overclock a good 10 80 TI and more or less get here or fall very very slightly short of it and that's okay because it has r TX i guess if you care about that but the real problem is that there's nothing exciting AMD just launched everything and it was like you know what just here you go reviewers figure it out they have some fun with Rison and navi and then maybe next week you can get some sleep and then end video was like you know what we are going to launch another super card we have no competition in this price class except for our own cards and also it doesn't add any new features there are no new games with our TX to speak of beyond what was different maybe two weeks ago or three weeks ago there's no new feature testing there is no new anything so here's the summary of the review the card is between 4 and 9 percent faster than a 2080 and that's really all you need to know about it it's going to be $700 in theory it has fifteen point five gigabit per second memory instead of fourteen gigabits per second it's got 48 SMS instead of 46 so two more are streaming multiprocessors and therefore 128 more CUDA cores to 3072 from 29:44 the original clock of the non efi 2080 was 1515 base 1710 boost and this one is 1650 base 1815 boost and so basically this card is barely worth our time to even test the only reason we're doing this is because there are definitely people out there some of you in the audience who genuinely want to know however Forbes and that's completely valid and we very much would like to make sure you're not left in the dark because this is it's it's fine like there's nothing really it's not a bad card it's just a phenomenally boring in the middle of all of the hardware launches like fourteen of them in the last couple of one in the last ten days or so and most of those are a lot more exciting either because they're really good they're really bad or they're just different and all of those are good reasons to push yourself to do reviews and it's a points where you really don't want to do them any more because this is well I mean it just doesn't do it for us but let's um let's just get it over with and go through a couple of games five of them should be enough to demonstrate the scaling on this thing and then we'll close it out we're going to start with shadow of the Tomb Raider this time so that we can demonstrate FPS improvements scaling versus the twenty eighty across three resolutions in this game the twenty eighty super expanded its uplift with each resolution uptick shadow the Tomb Raider positions the twenty eighty super where you'd expect and at 1080p that's between the twenty atti on the twenty eighty game in GPUs so about 142 FPS average to the 136 on the gigabyte 2018 on super the gain is about 4.5 percent over the twenty eighty 1440p has the twenty eighty super at 101 FPS average leading the twenty eighty gaming by about five percent the twenty atti maintains a lead of about nineteen percent over the twenty eighty super just for reference at 4k the 20/80 super runs at 57 FPS average line at a lead of about 8.5% the only interesting thing here is that we can learn how scaling improves with resolution increases which indicates something in the twenty eighty super we think that something is probably the faster memory being the item to thank for the increased scaling at higher resolutions on shadow of the Tomb Raider Sniper Elite for used for its dx12 nice Inc compute implementations places the twenty eighty super card at ninety one FPS average with 4k benchmark that we run Sniper Elite Four seems to like clocks on Pascal and Toria architecture demonstrated by the 1080 TI FCW three pushed high out of the box twenty seventy super overclocked both of which outmatched the twenty eighty original guards 82 FPS average the twenty eighty super ends up at 90.5 of PS average benefiting from the higher clocks which allow it a lead of about ten percent had we tested a higher Clark's twenty eighty it'd probably be closer to the 1080i FCW three in this one everyone 2018 is next for DirectX 11 API implementation at 1080p it has the twenty eighty super at 177 FPS average about a four percent lead over the twenty eighty s at 170 FPS average original score and roughly the same improvement over in overclocked to twenty seventy super 1440p testing has the twenty eighty super at 139 FPS average market at 4.8% ahead of the 2072 per with an overclocked at 133 FPS average and similarly distanced from the twenty eighty gaming original cart at 4k the twenty eighty super ends up at eighty-five FPS average versus the twenty eighty s average FPS of eighty which was previously outpaced by an overclocked twenty seventy super and buy a stock 1080 TI FTW three the total lead is about six point five percent over the gaming the twenty 80 gigabyte card hitman two is next this time with just DirectX 12 to save time because this review is really predictable the twenty eighty super place is at 136 FPS average setting up between the potentially cpu-bound twenty atti and the 131 FES average of the twenty eighty which isn't much ahead of the you 130 FPS average of the 2071 overclocks the twenty seventy super that is when overclocked 1440p with dx12 places the twenty eighty super at 102 FPS average are about four point seven percent ahead of the 98 FPS average of the twenty eighty gaming sort of boring really at 4k with dx12 hitman two as the RT x 2080 super at fifty p.s average leaning the 20/80 gaming by 6.3% 1080 TI tied the 2080 in this one so it's also led by about six point three percent if we had overclocked the 1080i they'd be roughly equal far cry 5 is next and last we'll start this one at 4k at 4k for our high five places the 2080 super roughly tied with an overclocked Radeon 7 which seems to do reasonably well here actually the 2070 super overclocked places at 61 FPS average encroaching on the 2080 supers performance for a few minutes of overclocking work at 1440p it's the same story the 2080 super ends up between the 20 atti 2080 gaming to no one's surprise on the 2070 super again ties the 2080 Radeon 7 now it discontinued demonstrates that it performs reasonably well on at least one game and that it had strong stock performance here okay so the 2080 super it is a replacement for the 2080 the 2080 is going away the 2070 super more or less beat the 2080 or was very close to it in most cases the 2080 super is a amidst and not even a mid step it's like a quarter step towards the 2080 ti it's about the same as a good overclocked like manually overclock to 1080 Ti and it's $700 so the price is relatively better than where Nvidia was previously still for our taste a bit high generationally and Vidya has more or less taken its entire stack and shifted it up so this probably would have been called a 1080 TI in the previous generation they've taken the TI mark away they've given it to something more expensive and so now the community still feels like well on videos price gouging in reality what NVIDIA has done is taken all of the naming and shifted it one step over because Nvidia realized what mr. David Cantor who's been on our channel has realized for a long time now which is that Nvidia could charge a lot more for it stuff and so they did and David you shouldn't have published that because they listened to you so yeah I'm not really sure what to say other than it's acceptable there's no competition at the price class except for other Nvidia stuff and we're not really sure who to blame for that you could partially blame AMD and say AMD what the heck get into gear do something you're just continuing Radeon 7 1 who bought it feels probably the same buyer's remorse that people talk about with these super cards for NVIDIA buyers because it came out what six months ago and now 5700 XD equals its performance in like at least 70 to 80% of the titles we've tested so far cry 5 maybe notwithstanding so Andy please do something to make these reviews worth our time again and NVIDIA in the future maybe launch some kind of feature with it a tech demo aligned with games that use your your r-tx hardware and software development literally anything anything that makes saying it's 4 to 9 percent faster more interesting than saying it's 4 to 9 percent faster this review was done in the first two minutes of the review when I said it's four to nine percent faster that's all you need to know about this video card that and it's $700 so if you watch this far I am sorry that we've wasted your time you can blame Nvidia and otherwise the card itself is acceptable it's fine it's uninteresting and that's really all there is to it that doesn't mean it's bad to buy it doesn't mean it's not worth buying it means it's barely worth reviewing though so anyway thanks for watching subscribe for more hopefully better content that's more interesting than this you can go to patreon.com/scishow sexist to help side directly or stored on camera sexist net to pick up a teardown toolkit which we will not be using on this video card because there's no point because it's boring and I'll see you all next time
