let's talk a little more about the Nvidia launch every product launch sparked controversy and I found myself in crosshairs with more than one faction in the past I'm not afraid to put myself between some huge debate everyone remembers this video right here right so in short I'm not afraid to speak my mind and I'm not afraid to call BS when I see it when something smells fishy I'll tell ya it smells fishy even if it hurts your feelings I'm not in the business of keeping people happy it's how I've approached every product view on the channel to date and nothing about that will ever change here but what I find the most interesting about the Nvidia launch is not how the company actually presented or launched the product I thought it was pretty weird and I definitely called it out right when I saw it but more so was how flip flopped the defense was this time around I was attacked by 8 totally different fanbase last year and defended by many of those who were actually pretty quick to attack me this time around over my thoughts regarding NVIDIA funny how things work but a vast majority of you actually agreed the Nvidia launch was fishy and this is actually pretty good news at least from my perspective because it's not that you agreed with me I mean my opinion can be totally wrong here and then oli Crowe and that's fine I'll be happy to do that but you guys recognized a change you recognized a shift in the forward miss of Pascal and Maxwell presentations and how it wasn't so this time around I was amped about the Pascal launch I made so many videos regarding architecture and lead performance evaluations and it was pretty easy design changes on a core level were pretty predictable but this time it's totally different and that's what I want to clear up today if you're still looking for an all-around excellent headset the Sennheiser PC 37 X has you covered excellent microphone incredible sound as always from Sennheiser products and a price that won't break the bank check the link the video description for more details Turing graphics cards are packed dense with features most of which we've never seen before terms ray-tracing and tensor core were thrown out quite a bit during the games clunky no to a group of mostly gamers albeit a lot of reviewers and you know editors were there as well but the layman has no idea what any of these terms mean and that's why these videos right here exist because I had to learn them just like you did I mean a lot of these terms and videos either recycling or completely making up and we kind of just have to roll with it like 78 RT X ops that tells us absolutely nothing about the product because that metric was literally made up by Nvidia for the launch so what about other terms right can we throw those around how about floating-point performance T flops represent the number of floating-point operations essentially basic math problems a given GPU can solve per second they're pretty good at these because they can parallelize like a boss they have thousands of course typically it's a wrong number and doesn't translate seamlessly to FPS or any layman metric but it gives us an idea of theoretical processing limits think of it like a car's horsepower metric it doesn't always translate linearly with zero to sixty times but people understand zero to sixty times and FPS is kind of the same way you can visualize those things so that's what I'm trying to do here sure having a 700 horsepower beast is pretty awesome but several other factors should be considered if you want to accurately determine acceleration from zero wait tires drivetrain and these correspond figuratively to like memory bandwidth clock speed API optimization drivers and whatever else you can throw into this mix these aren't cut and dry measurements and that's why a lot of us steer clear of floating-point performance when engaging actual FPS performance or whatever you want to call it however it's a pain of broad picture here won't compare the 1080 TI's potential with that of the 28 et is the card with which we'll spend the most time in this video so Nvidia spec the 20 DTI at roughly thirteen point four teraflops the ten ATT is was just over 11 now to prove an earlier point Vegas 64 supported at e-flat value roughly twelve point seven placing it just over the 1080 Ti on a raw scale though we all know how frame rates played out for the red team in this regard several other variables played a huge role here including optimization I was a huge one driver support other things that we're still working on the 10-day DT I was everything that the you know 4k gamer wanted in a top-tier graphics card it roughly 6 to 700 USD it absolutely crushed everything in its path and became in my opinion the first true 4k capable graphics card handling a blistering 8.3 million pixels every 17 or so milliseconds in modern triple-a titles with liberal presets what more could we ask for in a single card for that price many still question whether an upgrade from a 1080 Ti is justified given the vagueness of the latest keynote and I cannot blame you one bit in short if you're already satisfied with your current performance and game settings and gaming resolution upgrading makes zero sense more money for likely marginal gains and cool-looking shadows right yeah doesn't make sense in my book but there's more to this that many of you haven't thought about that honestly I haven't either the 22 Ti is packed 4352 CUDA cores 18 point six billion transistors discrete tensor and RT cores into an enormous die memory bandwidth is blazing fast and TDP over its 1080i predecessor jumped by a mere 10 watts these margins aren't incredible when seen in the context of Pascal improvements but the inclusion of tensor and RT cores of which we know basically nothing at this points and some videos kept them on the DL leaves the end result kind of unknown but sources similar to those responsible for accurate RT X leaks have apparently released the Turing T 102 block diagram of which the 20 atti will be a derivative comparing this to the GP 102 s we can see the vast disparity in SMS this time around we're seeing more streaming processors with fewer cuda cores in each the 20 atti will boast 68 SMS as the cut-down sibling with an additional 544 tensor cores and 68 RT cores NVIDIA has already publicized the coup de coeur account of the 2080 Ti so this math is pretty straightforward another week's lag reveals relative shader performance this time with an actually labeled y-axis and that's what I want to discuss next in videos ridiculous slides released earlier this week can someone translate this for me I mean no y-axis label no in-game specs detailed and a title it seems to double down on this claim take all of this with a barrel full of salt folks ignoring the deep learning super sampling Ben mark which the 1080 TI clearly can't handle well thanks to its lack of tensor and arty cores it would be an unfair comparison we see performance I mean things hone in at around 1.5 X but we have absolutely no idea what 1.5 X means shader performance as with the leaked slide shown earlier I mean even this metric is pretty vague Nvidia steering clear of FPS here save this one published slide now I have my own issues with the way in which this one was presented but I'll take what I can at face value and elaborate as much as I can I mean given what we have here also note this graphics card is the RT X 2080 not the 2080 ti 4k HDR in general cripples of 1080 Ti across the board by roughly 10% so expecting your 10% FPS cut with HDR enabled vs. disabled seriously any benefit Nvidia can give these new cards they'll give so I decided to compare these with my own 1080i benchmarks I used an i-5 8600 K from Intel running at 4.8 gigahertz nothing overkill at all here 16 gigs of DDR 4 and a 2 terabyte hard drive this is a typical gamer setup so page filing mild overclocking and modest memory timings will all play a role I'm also assuming these titles were all tested and average and their ultra presets since I achieve higher FPS than these here when 4k settings were dropped and I seriously doubt that these new cards perform worse in modern games even given premature drivers so f1 2017 and the ultra preset battlefield 1 at ultra hitman and ultra you get the point I tested four titles to get the point across and I got these results here if we factor in an HDR cut of roughly 10% which I'm sure you could argue against given the circumstances but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here you can see that things aren't really that far apart in fact given last year's trends we'd expect our Kennedy Ti to perform on par with a 2070 not a 2080 and this may still be the case but then there's the pricing argument how do you justify the same performance jump as the last generation for more money I mean some countries have 20 atti pre-orders for upwards of 1200 equivalent USD that's like Titan territory still think it's worth pre-ordering so look you can argue for these cards any which way you want it's gonna be pretty obvious if you're on NVIDIA side at this point and you can keep an open mind that's fine but I suggest that you look at this as a skeptic and not as somebody who's gonna be super positive and and looking forward to such a successful and epic increase in performance to me this thing just looks like a powder cake honestly and I don't expect that people are going to be that thrilled with the way these cards perform and most of the games they're currently playing you can call my opinions clickbait I don't care you can insult me personally call me a joker for calling you out on your pettiness but know this people are pissed for a reason remember the AMD rise in 5 video I pointed to earlier turns out I was right the I 5 still outperforms R 5 CPUs in almost every modern game in existence years after software updates windows patches crippling the blue team even so that's more of a plus for the red team right and bio stability releases for higher frequency memory support the argument for premature drivers by the way as the cause is a weak one at best and the 92 Ti and the 1074 neck and neck when Pascal launched I tested both of those cards and you know face to face I've noticed a tiny spread since then NVIDIA wants these cards prepped for game day I mean why would they cripple their own cards on a software level or you know just launched them prematurely over pushing back the launch date to me that seems like a much more plausible option if that was a case and more food for thought why would they avoid any frame rate comparison of literally any kind we saw a frame rate of one game during the keynote but no direct comparison at all so sure I could be completely wrong about all of this a lot of us agree by the way I'm not the only one saying this we could see though I mean 50 60 70 percent from its increases frame rate yields over the last generation and if that's the case I'll gladly admit that I was wrong but do I think that I am no and do I think you should pre-order No so I think that's where the
