How much did RTX improve with latest drivers?

2018-12-14
recently we did a video showing you how r-tx performance although beautiful is a little bit lackluster even in 1080p today we're going to show you how far the latest dice patches actually improve things which could look kind of promising for the future all right so this is the exact same portion of the campaign the French portion I believe the French part of the campaign where we showed you that even in 1080p with DRX on in dx12 obviously those those have to go together we showed you that I was actually dropping down with ultra all the way into the mid to low 30s at 1080p so let's go ahead and compare it's the exact same graphics card as I mentioned this is the unicorn 20 atti Strix from Asus which apparently is still not made it onto shelves this is the 2080 version right there I might have said tinny they don't recall anyway RTX 2080 TI and so this is the same part if you recall that I showed you that's a friendly where you can see the reflection of the truck how that truck is now obscured from view and you can still see it what sort of happens here and I know I mentioned this in the last video but in case you haven't watched it I'm gonna go ahead and explain to you again real quick what RT X is and why this is the future now listen to me I know a lot of you are like RT X no one cares no one cares no one cares here's the bottom line all the cards are selling out RT X is it's the future it's the same thing people said about shaders new a new shadows no one cares about shadows or any of that stuff well guess what you've come to accept it and that's now the way we game this is probably gonna take some time to mature obviously but what happens here is the reason why you can still see the reflection right there is because ray-tracing is looking at reflections and basically rendering anything that is out of scene what basically could have happened right here if we're looking at standard screen space which basically just takes an image flips it upside down in the reflection to give you a bit of a reflection once the truck blocks that view you can no longer see it here and in the previous video we'll show you saw that there was kind of a blue box that sort of appeared and which was sort of blended into the scene things that are not in scene don't need to be rendered because it's useless information the reason why RT X gives you such a performance hit is because now it's rendering not only everything that you can see anything that is in line of sight of reflections now as you can see in 1080p right now in ultra we are sitting at 80 fps previously we were sitting at 60 which was just okay I guess but for a $1200 graphics card or in this case like 1300 or whatever it is that is certainly not something to write home about in fact it's a little disappointing or downright depressing to be like I've got a $1200 graphics card that in 1080p can only give me 60 FPS or on top of this hill 30 now Phil can do a side-by-side here so you can sort of see and compare this particular scene sure they're not exact and I've got to kind of take care of these fascists real quick hold on so yeah it's not a direct side-by-side but you can kind of compare that you know we're not getting 30 FPS we're now getting 75 at 1080p with everything on Ultra what they've also kind of done too is they've lessened the gap between Ultra and low because member what we showed you in that last video is if we went too low then we saw a significant increase in performance but that's actually not the case this time we just went from 75 to 78 or 84 83 right it's not massive I mean 10 FPS it at this particular you know resolution is significant but it's nothing like it was before where we were seeing massive improvement so I'm gonna go ahead and go back to ultra and like I said 75 FPS pretty damn nice now now that we're seeing this type of performance I kind of wanted to test what happens with 1440p or even 4k because Nvidia made the claim that in 1440p you can get 60fps okay so we're in 1440 60 again ultra and as you can see we are now getting this guy needs to just get out of there okay yeah get him so as you can see now we're getting 65 FPS 64 well of course we look straight down look at that seventy five six so we're definitely at least in this particular scene right here I had already given up in the last video at this particular part of the campaign when I was playing it for the testing of our TX because of the fact that it was pretty much unplayable and I'm dead we were only seeing 30s here now you can see we've upped the resolution an entire level and are getting twice the FPS we were at 1080p so there's clearly been some maturity when it comes to RTX Athena is still disappointing where you go ahead and go and check multiplayer now the thing that is extremely disappointing is the fact that there is still no SLI support this would be a perfect opportunity for RTX and SLI to get really good performance yes at the cost of you know $2,500 I'm a well I'm well aware of how expensive this card is trust me but at the same time it's like there are people out there like myself who really get their jimmies wrestled in a good way when it comes to this level of detail I know how I know how this game type works I don't need you to tell me all right so here we are in multiplayer 32 players seeing um deploy 90 FPS remember this is 1440 I went straight to 1440 I don't we don't know exactly what they changed they just said up to 50% performance improvement with our TX with the latest patch and Driver which is clearly what we're seeing they kind of copped out on the running water though because I mean make sense it's not smooth so of course the reflections aren't gonna be really there I'm sorry if you're a graphics nerd like I am this game all battlefields have been great but this one's specifically okay well I mean I'm 1440p everything's maxed out settings wise including DRX what is okay that gun sucks all right so here's we're gonna do right now we're gonna go ahead and put the 2080 in because Nvidia and dice are saying that with the latest drivers and such you can actually get with DXR on you can get 60fps I believe it you can get 60fps and 1080p which again as he saw we couldn't do with the 2082 guy before and the 2080 TI was advertised as having enough improvement to give you 60 FPS in 1440 with all features enabled so that's we're gonna do right now we're gonna throw in my 2080 and see if we're getting those advertised claims considering what we just saw right now with the 2080 Ti I think it's pretty obvious that we're gonna probably gonna get at least 60 FPS with this okay so I know this is not the same map that we just played but it is Rotterdam which is a map that's pretty hard on poor a lot of people complain about Rotterdam being terrible now as you can see we're getting 60fps 6160 now they did oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh they did claim 60fps with settings on I believe a high is what it was and Phil can annotate if I'm wrong but I believe it said 60fps suddenly in a big piece of combat here so as you see we got fire going here we got some reflections I've got me being killed sitting in the upper 50s low 60s with a non overclocked r-tx 2080 something else I should have probably pointed out earlier in this video is these cards are not overclocked these are out of the box settings and here's a spoiler alert for you guys in terms of performance the 60fps you're seeing right now with the 2080 is at 1440 ultra so we are obviously going to exceed in 1080p the 60fps promised with DX are turned on okay so in conclusion a 2080 at 1440 is certainly playable in battlefield 5 with RT X on or DXR on lo obviously give us about 10 more FPS ultra was clearly playable in a map like Rotterdam where everyone complaints but here's the takeaway at the end of the day in the last video a lot of people seem to get upset that I said I like RT X I think it's cool I thought the same thing when rasterization came out this is a personal belief of mine if you don't agree with me that's perfectly fine this is not the card for you you can go out and get yourself a card that's not our TX based and have a great gaming experience although I'd recommend you do it soon because Pascal is not being made anymore and because of the price of our TX people ran out and bought up Pascal cards as fast as they could find them so if you can get your hands on one great otherwise you're gonna be stuck with you know 20 series anyway we're not testing 2070 because I still don't think that card has enough performance to truly give us the figures that we want and the performance that we want at the price that still costs I also didn't test it because I forgot it at home I I remember I did my review there it's still sitting there but that's besides the point I digress look rasterization when it first came out took 2 or 3 remember there was the the 256 from Nvidia the Emidio 256 card which was the first rasterization card and then there was the GeForce 2 which then was like an improvement on that we saw a really good performance and then we saw the next family of cards where it really became playable it looks like things are moving faster with yes which is a good thing I don't think anyone can truly complain about that again I have no idea what they change to make performance better but clearly it is better and it you know if a $1,200 graphics card to give you you know 1440 FPS or 1440 DXR and ultra at 60fps isn't your thing I can't say I blame you it's a lot of money to buy into the new tech but it's only going to improve from here and I'm glad to see that it's happening much more quickly than we thought it was we're still waiting on other titles because right now this is a single title title graphics card going to be technical about it and I personally play it with SLI in dx11 I don't even run our TX when I'm playing this game so anyway do with it what you will I don't really care just want to share the performance with you guys thanks for watching and as always I'll see you on the battlefield benefit 5 with RDX now mostly playable anyway do with it which bit that is a poke is a put the bet is this opposed a try we were seeing like 30 FPS that's we're not gonna do a video about how much are they sound out about so today so we're gonna do it's it's painful describe
