Gigabyte RTX 2080 Ti Review - Is this the Best 'Value' Flagship...!?

2018-09-30
but this time you may have seen it practically every twenty eighty and twenty atti out there on the market but here we've got the gigabyte Archie X 20 atti and what sets this apart from a Zeus or MSI for instance well this one I'm told is going to be coming in an MSRP so you're not gonna be paying any premiums unlike the Strix where you were paying a premium but you were getting a beefed up PCB a much bigger cooler and that was practically taking up three slots however gigabyte haven't skimped out on really anything here which is the good news they've got a two and a half slot cooler and the good thing is about this cooler is and I'll pull up the noise and temps results for you guys already is that this thing is doing a great job of handling all the heat output that the r-tx 28 ET I can put out and to this date I think this is one of the most powerful and also power consuming cards out there on the market of course what else may differ this card from the competitors cards let's take a look welcome back to checkout city and here it is gigabytes edition of the twenty atti features 382 milf Ann's and it's practically the same cooler which is two and a half slot that went on there 2080 with this cool is well handled the ti without any problems at all and the good thing is at 60% fan speeds the noise is pretty low and the temperatures are going to remain low too when you do leave the fans on Auto something interesting about this card was that it actually ramped up the fan speeds a little bit higher than that of 60% but the temperatures still creeped up a little bit higher too that has to do with PWM control constantly fluctuating and so it looks like it wants to sit at around 70 degrees and the ambient conditions in here we're about 23 degrees C though that aside let's take a look at some gaming results for you guys and the first one here we'll pull up is Far Cry 5 and what happened in this benchmark was kind of interesting in ways because we saw that the 20 atti from gigabyte was before me pretty much neck and neck with the Strix rog 2080 Ti and so this was on a test bed with a 78 20 X at 4.5 gigahertz with 16 gigabytes of memory ddr4 clock to 3200 megahertz and as we're going through the 4k the results were pretty much neck and neck and one thing I'll quickly pull up now is the overclocking results this here did show higher over clocks than the ROG Strix and now that does come down to Silicon Lottery but the interesting thing is this only has a power limit of 11% extra so you get a hundred and eleven percent maximum power limit and the ROG Strix for example had 125 percent so you do get that extra power limit and that did show in the power consumption tests where this was I think being limited by that power limit so if we upped that for 25 percent this may have indeed beat the ROG Strix which may have not been as well as a silicon lottery winner as this was so going through the time spy results showed that it was pretty much performing neck-and-neck with that of the ROG version but also beating out the 2080 and also the 1080 Ti by a big chunk and then moving out a 3d marked fire strike which is more of a 1080p benchmark but we can still see that in older titles there's not going to be a huge difference between the 1080 gie in the 20/80 for example and the 2080 i isn't going to pull that fire head so what i've done here with my testing and what i'm going to do more research on is i think games that originated from dx9 was simpler effects for example you won't see that big of the margin between the 1080 TI and the 2080 TI and even the 2080 for example and you'll see the 1080i even beating the 2080 in some of those titles but when it comes to games that were released in 2018 for example that's when the 28 ETA and also the 2080 start to pull ahead of the 1080i so that's something that I've sort of seen a correlation with the some of the games that I'm testing here what if warcraft will pull up this for you guys 28 ATP and this is a ridiculous resolution but at this resolution maximum setting I was able to properly stress all the graphics cards here in the Czech yes studio and what we found was the 20 atti from gigabyte was pretty much neck and neck again with the ROG both overclocked but at stock settings the ROG card was pulling ahead by a little bit I guess it has to do with the massive oversized cooler on the ROG itself but now moving over to Crysis 3 and 4k results here showed that this was just falling behind a little bit behind the ROG in this title and I know Crysis 3 from experience does chew up a lot of power it's a very how would you call it power supply hungry game both maxing that of the CPU and the GPU and a lot of occasions but moving over to 4k show these same results continuing from 1440p so the ROG does have its advantages and in certain titles that I guess utilize all the GPU itself that's when you'll see that extra power limit when it comes to overclocks pulling ahead move over to scum this showed pretty much a neck-and-neck race between both these ti models at 1440p also pulling out of the 2080 and 1080i by a comfortable margin and then following that to 4k we saw similar results yet again and then on to destiny to both 1440p and 4k results showed that the TI models were pulling ahead the ROG just ever so slightly ahead even though the gigabyte variant did score higher over clocks in general I'll quickly pull up the maximum clocks obtained here in stress tests that were possible on this gigabyte model what we got here was an extra 100 88 megahertz on the core clock itself and then on the memory I was able to just max the slider with a thousand megahertz I was quite shocked at how far the memory could go and I didn't get any crashing but again I do have to sort of bring that back to the power limit here especially in times by extreme where the ROG had lower clocks but it was still scoring pretty much the same results in that particular benchmark regardless of the clock speeds but this little behemoth here looks like it did win the silicon lottery and move over to pub G really showed the twenty-eighth ETI flexing yet again over its younger brother the 2080 and also the 1080 TI scoring well into the mid 100's in FPS at 1440p high settings move over to 4k high settings showed similar results with both the TI big brothers flexing over the younger brother and the previous flagship pulling up here the Final Fantasy 15 demo which supposedly has DL SS enabled this showed some massive gains over that of both the 2080 and 1080i yet again though on that note of DL SS and also rate racing I will have to point this out just like I'm pointing out every time we talk about our TX series which the R stands for ray-tracing and they hyped up all these new technologies until they give us something that's properly playable and it's not even beta it's actually in games implemented then we can start to hype that up and experience it and judge it but until then it's really a letdown in my opinion because the RT X really doesn't stand for anything at the moment I think of this card more of a GTX card than an RT X card because what we're showing you guys here is really all we can show you and that is raw gaming performance yet I really would love to see some of these extra eye candy features and also DL SS for example which is supposedly enabling better frame rates but also better eye candy as well they keep in mind when I'm watching back this Final Fantasy 15 demo I'm not really seeing a huge improvement to my eyes the Star Wars reflection demo shows the 2018 and 2080 TI performing neck and neck here because the benchmarks capped at 24 fps and so there it all is on the table with the gigabyte 2080 TI this card is really nice it feels nice in the hands it weighs exactly same as the 2080 model that we had come through here so it is using the same color it is two and a half slot and it will do an absolutely fine job of keeping this card under wraps I do think gigabyte are really getting it right in the 2000 series you've got a card that looks clean it performs well and the best thing is they include a four year warranty at least for the people down under here in Australia you've also got RGB on the side of the card which you can change to any color by the gigabytes software and for inputs and outputs you've got three DisplayPort outs and also HDMI 2.0 and a USB type-c if you wish to utilize that technology on the side here you've got support for Nvidia's new technology of bridging two video cards together and that's envy link which is the successor to SLI and really when it all comes down to it that's about it with the RT X xx atti you're going to be paying a premium as I've said in the previous reviews that I've done on these cards but with the 2080 ti in particular you are going to get a premium experience it does beat out the 1080 Ti by a healthy margin does beat out the 2080 by a healthy margin - and in my opinion when I reviewed the 2080 I liked what the board partners are doing with the cards they're doing a great job of implementing good coolers great aesthetics but I feel like they've been let down a little bit with the 2080 from Nvidia 2080 I however is that beefed up option it is the one for the people who want the best and they don't even want to think about buying a 1080 TI they know they want the max performance they don't want to max those sliders at Ultra settings are the 1440p ultra wide or 4k and they're going to get the best experience possible of course you are going to be paying for it frames per dollar isn't really there but also on the same token flagship performance never has been about value for money the mid-range cars like the 2070 I'm sure they'll be hitting sometime next month so maybe they hopefully will bring some better value than the 10 series predecessors and I'm looking forward to taking a look at one of those for you guys but ultimately what this review boils down to is this card right here and have gigabyte done a good job of making a good cooler and also implementing all the features to really extract the most out of a 20 80 TI and in my opinion yeah so they've done a really good job they've also included a four year warranty which is pretty damn huge especially for a car that's going to be coming in at MSRP they've included all the options that I would want from an r/t x20 ATT I personally and that's about all there is really to it if you guys enjoyed this video then be sure to hit that like button let me know in the comment section below what you think about gigabytes new mm Series coolers and the aesthetics love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye when the 1080 I may even beat the Terr this showed massive gain this showed massive gains I've been moving now of and so here it all is with our little friend here on the table from gigabyte this really doesn't have a name it's just the gigabyte
