I'll be waiting for older rasterized benchmarks. These increases are with RTX on. What about games that don't support RTX? I doubt the increase will be that significant...

Looks very impressive until we remember that the 3080 uses 50% more power...

Great.  I hope AMD comes out with something competitive and forces graphics card prices back down to earth.

This!! 10000%

Don't you think its a bit odd that ONLY DF had access to the cards for these this?  It was very likely a managed test under very specific conditions. So I think its a bit negligent on Alex's part to stoke the hype without being realistic.

Listen, I'm all for upgrading to next gen, but let's cut the tribalism amd wait for objective reviews of the 30 series AND Big Navi so we can actually make informed decisions.

And I'm sure it can be 80% in specific games that can benefit from fp32. But that's not every game. Hell my 2080 ti could barely beat a 5700xt in a couple games (like deus ex mankind divided). It's all in what it uses.

There is a difference at 1080p you will be more cpu limited why on earth would you not run DSR and render it up to 4K reducing the AA. At the same time you will notice GPU utilisation much lower at these resolutions compared to a 2080. There's still an advantage over the Turing architecture... to be realistic an upgrade from pascal to Turing was a waste of money hec probably even a waste if you still were on maxwell.
however an upgrade from Turing to ampere will be definitely worth it time I feel bad for those who bought Turing a couple of months ago at those high prices

The point is that it's only going to see performance gains such as these when the 2080 would have been severely crippled.

In real world scenarios, you know like 1080@60, 1080@144, or even 1440@60/1440@144 the performance gain, while still substantial 35-50% is not going to come anywhere close to those being reported.

For those talking about VRAM and tossing names around:  Nobody knows you're ignorant until you open your mouth and prove it.

QuoteDigital Foundry benchmarked the RTX 3080 at 4K and maximum graphics settings

This is why is so important to wait for real independent objective technical reviews. Digital Foundry ran test under such conditions that 2080 drown because of memory limitations. And now we have fictional +70-90% performance gains.

What are you? An idiot sandwich?
If the 2080 would've been VRAM limited, we'd see the framerate drops all the time. You have no idea how VRAM works.

Yay, you win the award for dumbest comment yet!  ;D

If those settings uses up all available vram in the 2080 it still shows performance increase due to ram limitations.
