GAME TESTING: Aorus Xtreme RTX 2080 Ti at 1440 and 4K!

2018-12-15
Corsairs hydro series RTP platinum coolers are made to keep cool even in the most thermally challenging situations with mlpro RGB fans included to maximize performance with minimal noise as well as a pump with a thermally optimized coal plate a low noise design and dynamic multi zone RGB lighting with 16 individually addressable LEDs find out more about Corsairs hydro series RGB platinum coolers via the sponsor link in the video description what's up guys how's it going - welcome to Pauls hardware today's video is gonna be about this graphics card right here this is the gigabytes Oris extreme version of the GeForce art GX 2080 TI the highest end of invidious current GPU offerings the RT x indicates that it supports ray tracing although there's not a whole lot of ray tracing stuff we can test it with right now battlefield 5 is finally out but more to the point though today I'm going to be giving you guys an unboxing a closer look at the card itself and then I'm going to be testing it by playing games at 4k and 1440 on the back of the box we can see some of the key selling features here they have a custom-designed 300 millimeter fan cooling solution they've got a custom designed video output solution so you can do three HDMI outs or three display ports out different sections of therefore where you plug stuff in allows you to connect it in different ways you also have direct copper contact heat pipe cooling solution and we have an included VGA holder which I will hopefully show you guys in just a moment let's actually pull this out of the box box contents are pretty straightforward it is a fancy box it is a large box you do get a four year warranty for this graphics card which is a little bit longer than typical graphics cards a bit more information on the video outs a driver disk I don't know when those are gonna go the way of the dodo a quick guide in multiple languages for stuff graphics card itself we'll take a closer look at in just a second you do get a Horace case badge with the Falcon logo on it and this is the actual GPU support bracket which comes in pieces so there it is pretty straightforward there's three pieces so depending on the height you can have it be this high or taller if you add the extra little extensions in there it's got some rubber on the bottom all the pieces are made of metal so that's nice and then just got a little adjuster piece here that you can tighten down with this little nut and then your graphics card would sit on that alright so first impression the Shroud is large as the frame is also made of plastic I do like a metal shroud a little bit better gigabyte actually my favorite trads that they made were the 900 series the earlier 900 series carrots that they did generally would get back to but more the point the fat the shroud being plastic doesn't necessarily affect the cooling in one way or another it's more just for feel and durability in my opinion umm but beyond that we have orange accents but these are just in all of these protective caps that they've put on everything here so we pull these off and now you can see there are no orange accents so good job gigabyte thank you for not putting orange accents on all of your aura stuff I do appreciate it for a specific orange in black bill but I don't always like the orange if you have the choice to remove it I think that might be a good option now in the back here I already mentioned the video outs but that is something that is distinct from this graphics card and they've separated them into zones it's clarified in that bit of documentation in there but if you're plugging into one zone you can't use stuff from the other zone again it adds more functionality by allowing you to plug things in differently specifically multiple HDMI outputs are helpful for existing VR setups although you do not have the type C still as well so for virtual link headsets that come out in the future you'll still have compatibility with that you also still have your NV link bridge up there for two-way and V link SLI configurations you have a Norris logo on the side here that will light up and that'll probably be most visible from your case and then you've also got a Norris logo on the back of the card that will also light up I believe all of these are RGB and there are also some cool RGB logo effects that you can do there's some rings that surround the fans there as well which we'll also take a look at once we get this card actually plugged in beyond that it is a fairly weighty card which is often a good sign for cards like this it just means there's more actual metal in there more mass to absorb and help dissipate heat we got dual eight pin power delivery connectors there and then of course we got a backplate which pretty clean design I would say of course accented by that logo but you know nothing too shiny going on I would say it's a it's a handsome looking backplate I've never never described a backplate as handsome before this is a fairly unique implementation for RGB LEDs and the fans is actually an LED that comes out at the end of one tip of one blade of each of the three fins so there's one here there's one here at the end of the central fan and then there's one here on this fan and then since the fans are spinning those lighting up gives a circular visual impression of the LEDs this is a custom design version of the r-tx 28 EPI and by a gigabyte so they've also updated the PCB and the power delivery it has a 16 plus 3 phase power delivery setup to go along with that 4 year warranty and then of course they've also overclocked it out of the box with a core boost clock of 1770 megahertz which is 225 megahertz faster than they reference cards boost clock of 15 45 minutes all right guys we're jumping into some gameplay testing here and in case you haven't noticed we're actually a few weeks late on this we actually recorded most of this video a while back and then we the footage didn't turn out good the 4k capture stuff so sorry about that but we are recapturing now we have updated the driver to version 4 17.2 2 and then for our first game we're playing fortnight we're in windowed full-screen mode at 4k 3840 by 2160 we're using epic settings vsync is off motion blur is on and Joe's gonna do some game play testing to see how the system performs again we're using the 9900 K 4.7 to 5 gigahertz all the stats for the system are in the top left so you can see the 9900 K the r-tx 20 80 TI as well as the GPU memory and fan speed and then of course the all-important framerate frames per second just currently hovering around 75 to 80 we're playing early in the day so Jo's mostly playing against elementary school kids he's been practicing for a month it's compared to kids upon this probably been playing since they are able to and for the record I like this game my name still sucks though jo has loaded up an ammo he's now engaging the enemy just full frontal attack so just to recap guys we're maxing out at the mid-80s maybe 85 88 frames per second and then when Jo dies the framerate drops so no that doesn't affect the framerate but in low range we're getting in the 70s which isn't too bad at 4k if you're going with the 4k 60 Hertz monitor that'd be a good solution for you next we're gonna try 2560 by 1440 maybe a higher frame rate will improve Josie no my name is just still shitty you know what those like come on killer Joe yeah as you can see my game is sucks I shoot him in the face to check in shamefully my aim sucks yeah all right guys two changes here we have switched to 2560 by 1440 for the resolution and we are now in full full-screen mode instead of window full screen shouldn't effectively freemake too much well we've already jumped up to 140 to 150 frames per second Joe is already getting killed just racking up the kills hey wish man looking at myself I know here you see my face I'm Shane there was up there alright I'm embracing the fact that I suck this only he can only get better right you can also edit out the parts where you suck yeah no screw it if I leave the parts will you mess up in the videos oh and I'll leave myself when I mess up it's only fair right Paul that's true and I think it followed a hard time when these when he makes mistakes because it's funny I have to leave that to your discretion and know how honest you're gonna be about it wait come on I'm just white damage goes down to 16 health Joe's dead Joe forgot he has nine shield pushes oh yeah she I'm I'm mad now so when I'm mad at be just as bad use your hate you ah I thought I was gonna die from that shot seriously this football player guy he's just taunting you it's like you're aiming the gun at his face and ready to shoot he's just like here's a wood wall all right all right football player guy I'm going after you if I can you just killed that one guy at least once I'll be happy Joe has a mission uh a vision I can see him already we are getting framerate dips down into the 110 to 120 s at times again just kind of depends on what you're looking at and the complexity of what's being rendered on screen but by and large we're staying oh oh there's down to 108 for a second but if you're in a variable refresh rate monitor that's up in the 120 or 140 for its range I think you'd be pretty happy with this especially of course if you have g-sync going on because that will smooth out any times you have any dips that go below the actual refresh rate of your monitor well there's somebody Jesus Christ y'all gonna kill ya all right being on a high note and I started a streak probably right here in Christ a streak of shotgunning people in the back oh this park again that football guys oh my god there's not like me football player like it seems right there let me try get one more kill just to redeem myself oh there yes yes porco football player can't get any better than this that was a guy was counting me the whole time well done Joe alright guys there's a look at for tonight gameplay at 4k and 2560 by 1440 ru let's move on I'm up to five now that's your day well I'm up to 5km five kills okay we're switching over to system overwatch now I'm going to be wrecking ball as for setting us we're at 4k 3840 by 2160 for right now vsync is off these are off primary cap is at 300 and then graphics claudi's at ultra that under an advanced we are at 100% render scale I should also roll out to note my team perhaps overwatch is not as challenging of a game to render typically you can achieve higher frame rates especially if you use that render scale option so it's really nice at 4k we're already getting 160 ish 170 ish frames per second that means for FPS gamers who want to high frame rate gaming if you have a really high refresh rate monitor even a 4k one you should be able to still handle overwatch I'm gonna see if I can handle actually playing and not dying shoot ringing oh oh that's Bob wait is that Bob no that's a doom fist and I'm just gonna roll around in a circle here oh you gotta hit people and overt nope now I die uh-huh it's kind of sad for little hamster kick roses around dead die doom fist we're hundred and thirty frames per second I'm trying to shoot people died well it's my team doing my team's doing nothing I have the most eliminations the most damage done I've only killed the most objective time I'm a tank is that how it's supposed to work see they're all staying here as a team and my team is just nowhere to be found nowhere to be found it's okay though it's okay doesn't matter we don't you to win that fun I died all right looks fairly fun I'm going to attempt getting myself more frames now alright guys I am going to switch up the video to 2560 by 1440 here we go 300 fps is what we're dealing with them kill I do feel like I'm being more effective as fara in this game is you doc well I had a decent run before that so guys were probably just gonna do a short bit of gameplay here because there's not a whole lot of point in testing overwatch at 2560 by 1440 with an RT x 28 DTI because we're hitting the frame rate cap of 300 frames per second which is good very good so and kind of to be expected given to 4k performances on so that means you're gonna stop so I've added as much probably yes but I can't just yeah you don't want to get a flag damn right like yeah I don't to get flagged like Kyle's account and flagged for leaving matches earlier whatever all right that's gonna wrap it up for overwatch let's move on okay guys we have loaded up battlefield 5 now at this point the to try to tie a single player so we're currently on we're at 4k I'm gonna pull up a look I can pause how useful all right just take a quick look at video settings full screen 4k this is our settings for all this I have left all the fancy effects from grain and all that stuff on for now and then in advance we're in DirectX 12 mode but not currently using DirectX ray-tracing and actually thanks to the delay and the filled footage captured from a week or two ago we now have the updated driver and the updated version of battlefield 5 which is supposed to do a pretty nice boost in DirectX R Atreus performance we we tested this like a week and a half ago captured footage didn't work out unfortunately but the DirectX performance just tanked horribly when we turned it on so we're gonna do a quick test just a 4k without DirectX ray tracing then we will turn it on with ultra mode oh by the way we're in the ultra preset mode as well and then we will see what happens when we turn it down a little bit so again no DirectX ray tracing right now just DirectX 12 mode other than that standard settings and here's where you can demonstrate using Jay's methods screen space reflections Trek over there reflected in the puddle move over here it's blocked so you can't see their reflection anymore it's really nice when J goes and does that in this area of course there's plenty of other places where we can show that as well but moving up here we're getting a decent framerate eighty FPS you can try to shoot this as presuming he's a Nazi I'm not doing a very good job iron sights a very inaccurate and World War two Adam also we're still mentally foggy from a a 12-hour V games team so that's always why we're not playing that well right Paul technically we should be better at games now we had 12 hours of practice yeah brain to wrist you know just navy net so guys we're in the mid-70s as far as the framerate goes with these settings I'm gonna restart the mission and we'll turn on DirectX pretty crazy alright after a quick restart we're back in the game still 4k and DirectX is on again down here for graphical quality settings we're at Ultra so the directrix retracing reflections are also on Ultra we'll see how it goes here and then maybe turn that down if things are too messy right now we've already dropped from the 70s down to 39 frames per second but let's look at the reflection of this Jeep supply curve it's a stupid jerk do that it's still there it's incredible it's much more immersive now that I can see that reflection Oh see I'm sitting here admiring the reflections the DirectX ray tracing reflections and my brother in arms just got killed it's horrible revenge revenge I say now anecdotally because again we lost two rather the footage we captured before was not very viable or usable at all but I'm already seeing it's better I feel like we were getting less than half of the framerate when we turned on DirectX retracing before now we dropped from the 70s down to mid-40s so could be worse for sure and what's worse the IB yes it definitely was worse so it was like about 15 right or something glad they brought the game back to what it's supposed to be stop shooting me dude yeah that's how we're judges you want the screen to substrate bill I'm sorry Matheny did associate you now he can enjoy the game weren't right racing if you look at the side of the gun here and they fire fire is reflecting on the side of the gun as it should that's actually kind of cool depending on the location of the fire it's bouncing up there so that is one area where ray tracing is actually showing a visual difference all right so it's definitely playable you know if you really like the eye candy but again in the forty thirty to forty three frames per second rate is not that great when it comes to PC gaming in general so let's go back to the video settings and let's just switch those rate traces from ultra down to not ultra oh look we now have ultra low high and medium let's just go to low side by side here flames on the gun does that look better well I mean it should look worse it should look low instead of high now although they are still they frame rate right wise though we have jumps maybe 15 15 fps 10 15 up to the 50s from the 40s that's appreciable so at this point let's see if you wanted to do this setup but maybe you just wanted a little bit more frames per second you could turn down the actual resolution so we're gonna try 2560 by 1440 at 60 Hertz we have to restart the game in order to turn DirectX ray tracing back off so I'm gonna leave it on for now still have ray tracing on and we've switched back to ultra for the raintree's settings so machete oh yeah I'm just gonna hack him up with the machete oh geez that was rough except now I'm being shot a bunch of times you get a chance complete I got a challenge completion you can really see the light reflecting off of the machete as I stabbed okay what the retracing effects right so guys we're getting a much more playable framerate at this resolution even with DX are on high were mostly over 60 frames per second even when I'm shot and there's a big explosion in front of me alright now we've dropped down to the 50 but it's still not terrible I shot him in the ass all right so low 60s mid to low 60s sometimes dropping into the 50s I am going to now change directx ray-tracing hello DirectX right racing down to low and we've again earned 5 to 10 frames per second maybe a little bit more than that's up to these 70s now even above that although we're looking at kind of a long shot right now it's not a lot of water in the in the frames there's the photo right there puddle of water I look at the clouds I look at that it's the Sun it's like you wouldn't be able to see the Sun well I'm getting shot at oh hi there what are you sure I shot you in the face that's odd she proved that we don't completely suck as the game's fault exactly you and here's our last battlefield 5 test still 2560 by 1440 just have turned ray-tracing off so if you don't want ray tracing this is the performance you would expect everything else is pretty much the same we're at Ultra on settings and now we can run forward and perhaps give ourselves the best chance at shooting Nazis in this game although again gosh look at those reflections look how unrealistic that is sucking away my immersion but never mind we're gonna press forward it's like we're on the iron sights are you supposed to eat I assume you want to put the tip of it right on their head oh well that worked that work too and I'm getting all kinds of headshots it's tough practice practice it's called Nazis pissing me off so whereas with DirectX ray-tracing on our frame rate was maybe starting in the 60s and then maybe going into the 70s and the 80s as we turned it down to low and moved into situations where there was less water presence we're not consistently in the hundred and fifteen hundred and twenty five frames per second range oh that was another nice shot suddenly I can aim I don't know where this is kind of criminal point being though this is a better play experience when it comes to smoothness and fluidity of course just don't have those rate races I miss I miss you Ray I like yeah they told me pops off yeah you got to get under the helmet maybe that's why I wasn't shooting him before I was I was hitting the helmet nut yeah you're gonna help me not the leather side of it yeah after smell a punch punch you yeah am i dead yeah yeah stick like you Rihanna comment was like you guys are working on a crazy pcs but we're not they grabbed on to spend all our time building the exact kind of balance man you know it's like it's all about you know you there's one of the other had to kill me I'm dead and so is our time playing vf5 let's move on all right guys we're on a pub G now player unknowns battlegrounds starting off again at 4k 38 40 but 23 a 40 by 2160 everything else is set too high so Joe is gonna be playing because he's really good at fortnight now so that obviously should translate over to pub G as well is that the exact that's how it works is it gonna be bad but pub G is different than for tonight all you gotta do is like no it's hiding a bit more it's two people there I'm gonna die like yesterday I'm just gonna like necks lying in a swamp there you go this is ray tracing here to write no initial 4k frame rates for the r-tx 20 atti special or sedition explores extreme edition is 110 other than 20 inside the house we're getting in close to hundred and thirty frames per second is it there's a strategy that I've seen people using fortnight and Pub G which is the very first time the first circle goes down immediately go to the dead center of the circle don't worry about looting or anything and to say that and then just crouched in a bush and wait see how you could last it's not it's not as fun so yeah this game come up walk I shoot your face kill him Joe kill him was that 89 frames per second so there's our 4k framerate dipping a little bit below 100 from time to time but by-and-large staying in 110 it's 120 frames per second range Joe you want to try another one yeah of course 2560 by 1440 I'm sure people will enjoy that there's nobody around me in surprise well probably because you're about to land in the water what the no no I want it Oh apparently there's no glide and it's no glider spacebar sense I'll take that up didn't I had well so yeah you get 155 frames per second huh zoom in and water it's good good to know damn it well now after I warmed up swimming she's on the plus side apparently swimming through the water is very challenging in this game because we were getting in the about 155 frames per second now that Joe is back on land we're getting upwards of 200 of cause ball and if some people get really good with those is they to make no noise yeah fine so many bolts does it load with one one bolts one black here's some gunshots hey fine let's go walk towards my death yeah you was he screwed a damn thing don't want it then we're crossbow no I don't want it no there's a bridge cool I can dice I can stop playing his game just across the bridge oh I'm sure no one yeah I'm sure nobody's waiting there that dust random puffs of dust yeah it goes it's cuz you're being shot at baby hey yeah and they probably just happy it's not going yeah come on right here just fancy them come on come on shoot me are you sure Jesus Christ running up to get closer baby okay sounds like in the arc what are you Jesus Christ what oh I see now Oh their thing get him Joe get him here comes the becomes the her trouble oh no their bubble hey don't I have a painkiller here how do you take it and just wait till it goes all the way oh there you are he came back and shot you yeah yeah exciting alright guys that was that was puppy it 2560x1440 a low range FPS around a hundred fifty five ish because that was mainly swimming through water everyone 70s to 180s and then it was actually Gooding above 200 FPS from time to time but pub G can fluctuate a lot we got one game less left to play that's cod blopps for well we wanted to play black ops for but I guess I guess we can't right now cuz we can't even connect or load the game up let's let's play something else so here's shadow of the Tomb Raider replacing Cobb Bluffs for with this because we can't look cops for right now so displaying graphics settings for the time being we are at 4k just start off DirectX 12 mode is on all the other settings you see here including vsync off and then for graphics we're at the highest presets for the time being and I am just gonna play the game here s are currently getting a mid 60s with mid to high 60s framerate this is of course just a walk around and talk to people area although it is quite beautiful with all the various lighting we got la casa may count out over here I get some Mexican food Paula actually has good Spanish pronunciation it's funny character you're like my cousin McConaughey later I grew up with a lot of people speaking Spanish in the area Southern California y'all I used to feel awkward about trying to pronounce like Spanish and I just kind of try to go for it and occasionally people say like hey that wasn't Ben that raised my confidence I can't quite roll the artists dildo all right guys we're going through a fair amount of exposition and stuff right now but framerate wise we're getting in the mid 60's for the most part going through the bit of actual gameplay section where I was aiming and firing and there was more foliage dipping a little bit below that but I imagined by lowering the actual quality settings we could actually get ourselves a little bit higher if we were trying to go for a 4k gaming 60 Hertz experience I'm gonna switch over to 2560 by 1440 just as we have been and we'll see if this improves our frame rate see if the game crashes I think Lisa's picking us up where it left off it's good night alright so again 2560 by 1440 all the other settings are pretty much the same and graphics are still at the highest presets let's see how do we do now immediately we've had a nice jump up into the hundred and tens where's your boat good question hey do it do it do it jump how odd that's pretty high there oh this is the fun where you get to wall climbing it's been a while since I did some Jim reader wall climbing wow he's just gonna try it out of our own okay that's all part of the magic of Tomb Raider Joe you've never been rappelling before if it's anything what I see why now I don't want to I like the scenery here in the environment and then I can like swing over to here oh just barely made it she has her good fingers should that space Trump we are deep into kick-ass rats screw rats you're probably gotta go through here oh god it ye'll that was creepy I don't like eels you know no more eels yeah no no she's stupid eel the thing is scaredy I was expecting an eel it could be a go up ah no I said to push buttons it's a little creepy if you uh if you're running out of water and stuff right now water gonna air in the water come on all right you can do it come on you're at the spin swing you're okay yeah you guys it's a good thing she's in that overweight good thing she does have the boner again for some reason now this whole thing is collapsing she's trapped break3 get the Pilates son there you go now a beautiful again is perfect that's awesome oh yeah the book came back like and cat a little scary a little scary and I think that's probably a good time to stop here guys otherwise we could just keep playing this game full evah that has been a little bit of shadow of the Tomb Raider game play for you guys a pretty decent performance here with the horse extreme r-tx 20 atti thanks to Joe also for donating some of his gameplay today are you ready to drop like thirteen hundred bucks on one of these now maybe so they have a guys some gameplay testing with this new graphics card from gigabytes the Auris extreme version of nvidia geforce art TX 20 80 TI and i do enjoy this method of testing and this type of video because it actually allows me to play video games I recently did this with the rx 590 and the feedback from that was pretty positive this doesn't mean that I'm always going to test this way in the future I think there is still validity to running a bunch of tests and having the bar charts up there so you can get better a to be comparisons between cards but especially for a GPU that's already launched when we're just testing a specific version of the card this is one keep doing because lets me play games anyway though guys I hope you've enjoyed this video hit the thumbs up button if you did and check out the video's description for a link to this graphics card as well as links to other useful stuff like my start breaking buy shirts and mugs and pie glasses thank you again so much for watching and we'll see you guys next time yeah go into the Kame or you'll find it oh god I just died he got prodded by multiple angles
