NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Benchmarks Allegedly Leaked- Twice
Caveat emptor, take this with a grain of salt, and the usual warnings when dealing with rumors about hardware performance come to mind here foremost. That said, a Turkish YouTuber, PC Hocasi TV, put up and then quickly took back down a video going through his benchmark results for the new NVIDIA GPU flagship, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti across a plethora of game titles. The results, which you can see by clicking to read the whole story, are not out of line but some of the game titles involve a beta stage (Battlefield 5) and an online shooter (PUBG) so there is a second grain of salt needed to season this gravy.
As it stands, 3DCenter.org put together a nice summary of the relative performance of the RTX 2080 Ti compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti from last generation. Based on these results, the RTX 20T0 Ti is approximately 37.5% better than the GTX 1080 Ti as far as average FPS goes and ~30% better on minimum FPS. These are in line with expectations from hardware analysts and the timing of these results tying in to when the GPU launches does lead some credence to the numbers. Adding to this leak is yet another, this time based off a 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, which we will see past the break.The second leak in question is from an anonymous source to VideoCardz.com that sent a photograph of a monitor displaying a 3DMark Time Spy result for a generic NVIDIA graphics device with code name 1E07 and 11 GB of VRAM on board. With a graphics score of 12, 825, this is approximately 35% higher than the average score of ~9500 for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition. This increase in performance matches up closely to the average increase in game benchmarks seen before and, if these stand with release drivers as well, then the RTX 2080 Ti brings with it a decent but not overwhelming performance increase compared to the previous generation in titles that do not make use of in-game real-time ray tracing. As always, look out for a detailed review on TechPowerUp before making up your minds on whether this is the GPU for you.For those interested, screenshots of the first set of benchmarks are attached below (taken from Joker Productions on YouTube):

86 Comments on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Benchmarks Allegedly Leaked- Twice

I really don't think you (or most people I see commenting on 7nm Vega/Navi) fully comprehend what it means to have a node advantage. 7nmFF allows for 3x the density, 40% higher clocks, and 65% less power usage compared to 16nm (And AMD's 14nm is worse than TSMC's 16nm!).
A 250mm^2 Navi chip could have as many as 6320-SP's while only using 150w. A 336mm^2 Vega would likely have up to 8000 SP's and over a TB/s of bandwidth. Again - Nobody should write off 7nm Radeon. It would be like saying "There is no way the Vega 64 can beat the 980 Ti lol).
Read my comment,amd explicitly said 7nm is for HPC
Vega 10 only had diminishing returns with SP's because HBM2 yields fell below the expected performance, and thus AMD was forced to launch cards with 10-30% less bandwidth than intended.

I have much more faith in navi, the question is, can amd create an architecture that will scale with die size and sp count from low-end to high-end as well or better than nvidia's.
AMD hasn't increased ROP count since the bloody 290X, and it painfully shows. Then again Vega 10 is a compute-first architecture, and AMD did increase ROP's per CU by a factor of 2 with their Vega M lineup. It shows too, with a 75w Vega card competing with the 120w 1060. My "shooting from the hip" guess is that Navi 10 will consist of:
-200-300mm^2 7nmFF Die
-4096-5120 SP's @ 1.8-2.5GHz
-96-128 ROP's
-240-320 TMU's
-No HBCC, hopefully Tiled Rasterization has Improved
-256-384-bit GDDR6 (512GB/s+)
-100-200w power usage
There are many ways AMD can skin this cat, but my expectation is that "Navi" is effectively Vega M scaled up with some extra tweaks. It really needs to be emphasized that there are competing rumors too, with some pointing to a very cheap 90-100w card that's meant to replace Vega 64, and another rumor stating that AMD wishes they made Polaris 10 a little bigger (and thus might consider a 300mm^2 card). I am hoping it's the latter considering how well the XBX turned out, and Nvidia is going for a cash grab this round.
Did I miss something? We're having a significant growth of active people here in last few days (both old and new accounts). What's going on?
But are you saying it's still on a 4096-SP's? Even with the still fairly large 3336mm^2 die? I heard that it's 88-96CU's....
