Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti is only 35% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in preliminary leaked benchmarks

[Redaktion]

Synthetic benchmarks might not offer definitive proof on how the new flagship GPUs from Nvdia perform versus the previous gen, and the drivers used are most likely not final either, so performance could slightly improve upon release. Additionally, since the official Turing drivers are not yet publicly available, these results seem to be provided by an Nvidia or AIB partner employee.

"only", heh. nvidia admitted this officially, 35-45% better perf. some tests do worse some do better. and a lot of (currently) unmeasurable new techs. so please be objective and not hype'n crazy topics.

It's really not terrible. Outruns a stock Titan V ($3000 card) and is about the same as 2x GTX 1080s at stock clocks. Could definitely be worse.

Not dissing on the performance, but don't you guys think the Ti version is a bit rushed? Why break the usual cycle now?

It could mean that AMD is about to reveal a new GPU that outperforms the Pascal flagship, and maybe even the RTX 2080 (at least on standard games) and the 2080Ti is a pre-emptive strike.

I believe that with the Turing cards, Nvidia is trying to create a need for the new capabilities (like raytracing) where they have an advantage over the competition (even Intel announced they're releasing dGPU's in the coming years) thus keeping their market share at high levels. It's a long-term gamble.

it has to be at least twice as fast as a 1080ti to justify the upgrade (for those who owns 1080ti).

They're pushing the Ti now so the R-Titan will sell.

Lol, don't be ridiculous. AMD have full focus on consoles right now.
