It was very bold of NVIDIA to debut its flagship implementation of the Turing architecture right next to the RTX 2080, poised to be the poster-boy of this architecture. This card packs the promise of real-time ray tracing, of sorts. NVIDIA also put out its best cooler design since TITAN. All that beauty comes at a price.

Copy pasta on the conclusion.
"
  • Exact store pricing for the MSI Radeon RX 580 Mech 2 isn't available yet; MSI expects a range of $350 to $370, which seems a bit high.

  • Faster than the GeForce GTX 1060
  • Overclocked out of the box
  • Quiet in gaming
  • Fans turn off in idle
  • Backplate included
  • HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4

  • High price
  • Memory not overclocked
  • Overdrive limits too low to max out memory OC
  • No illumination/RGB
"

well if it costs that much then it better be damn faster than a 1060 otherwise Im gonna have to choke a b*tch.

In any case, 1080Ti still wins.... when the price of it eventually drops, and trust me it will drop.

A second hand 1080TI is the best bet here. The features are nice for the 2080 but irrelevant since they aren't supported by anyone or they destroy your fps.

I mean if anyone is going to buy this generation of cards because of 'ray tracing' then thats just plain dumb. Theres no telling if all the developers will even adopt it so its deployment might be limited to a handful of games which makes it a bit of a pointless endeavor.

We also need developers to really start pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity again. Just like they did with the original Farcy and Crysis. If everything is going to be a mediocre console grade standard of a game then there is not really much point in buying any of these.

this is a big setback for PC gaming in general. this card would be a questionable improvement even at 499$

I don't remember the last time anything got less than 9.
It has nothing to do with Nvidia. It's just completely weird way of assigning a score.

Come on, Techpowerup is great. It is well designed, thorough, heck read the review conclusion: It is a thoughtful 1500 word essay. The results of the testing show the 2080 and 2080ti leading every chart except Hitman at 1080 which is probably a driver issue. How that can be garbage I don't understand. What it can be is priced too darn high which shows greed from lack of competition.

90% more transistors, 44% more performance in 4K. +33% in 1080p. why, why

The positivity of this conclusion makes no sense to me when clearly the 1080 Ti is the better purchase than the 2080 right now. Maybe in the future RTX will make the 2080 worthwhile, but right now it's a strictly inferior purchase to the 1080 Ti. It also makes no sense why this scored higher than the 2080 Ti which actually does make sense as a purchase for people wanting absolute maximum performance. Might as well just ditch the scoring system altogether.

Personally i find this terrible.
Right now in most countries 2080 custom cards are almost 200e more than 1080ti custom cards when launched.
So you get marginal improvement for serious price hike marginally better power consumption in gaming and way
worse when idling or using multi-monitor.
This is absolutely terrible 2080ti looks like much better buy at least you get performance improvement and you can enjoy 1080p ray-traced games in variable 50 to 60fps.

Not very impressive in my opinion. 16nm to 12nm, double the die size, yet only about 25-30% faster than the GTX 1080, which can be had for nearly half the price with the same amount of memory. Not to mention about a 50 watt increase in power consumption in gaming.
The new technology (DLSS and ray tracing) seem cool in theory, but as everyone else is saying, only really useful if you play the few titles that support them, or wish to use the software yourself. And i doubt we will see a ton of games supporting the ray tracing, as its still quite taxing on the graphics card.
One step forward, two steps back this time around. Now AMD has a chance to make a comeback. If they can optimize Vega's pipeline for a 5-10% increase at the same clocks, and increase the clock speed while decreasing die size and power consumption. Which are all hopefully achievable with the 14 to 7nm jump, AMD could easily be ahead this round. Eager to see what they bring to the table

Please exclude Wolfenstein 2 results and 2080 becomes almost as same as 1080ti..

Hehe, it certainly flies in Vulkan!

Because after 2 years, you hardly get any performance improvement for your $/euro. If RTX208Ti is struggling with raytracing at 1080p, will raytracing even be usable on cards with "normal" price because 1200$ i ridiculous. This reminds me of Fermi launch, but then we had competitive AMD so I did not care.

It has nothing to do with Nvidia. It's just completely weird way of assigning a score.
I usually consider tpu rating only from 8 to 10 where 8 is lowest score possible. So this 9.2 is in my eyes 6/10.

8% faster than a 1080 Ti, whilst costing around £200 more....yet it gets a 9.2?!?

I mean the most pessimistic predictions had the 2080 about 20% faster than the 1080 Ti, but EIGHT percent across all resolutions is a farce. They may as well have just rebadged an overclocked 1080 Ti and called it Turing.

A wise man once said: "There are no bad cards, just bad prices."
He was right.
The RTX 2080. Barely any faster than a 1080 Ti. $100 more.
So basically the same performance/price. Thanks Nvidia, but no.

I think here is opportunity for AMD/Intel to catch up if Nvidia is going to keep these cards out for 2+ years.
