Our review of the RTX 2080 vs. GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 considers all scenarios. The RTX 2080 FE goes through gaming benchmarks (e.g. Far Cry 5, F1 2018, Shadow of the Tomb Raider), thermal benchmarks, noise/acoustic benchmarks, noise-normalized tests, power tests, RTX 2080 overclocking tests, and more. Our RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition review will go up today as well, within a few hours of publication of this main content piece.
Part of the piece is spent discussing the marketing surrounding the "RTX" branding, along with the lack of RTX support in games right now.
This testing also goes into overclocking on the new RTX 2080 Turing cards.

well amd heres your chance to catch up. just do rasterization. or at least put all your points into shader cores with double fp16 performance (rapid packed math) and go from there. lets see how they screw that up though. smh
Thank u stee
Give us VR benchmarks,I wonder how that will work out.
One word in Nvidia's direction: *RIDICULOUS!*
P.S. The RTX 20*0 series builds on hopes? The same hope you have that your swiss army knife has hopefully a phillips head screwdriver in it?
Very informative and honest review. Thanx a lot
"can't review something on promises"
A very important philosophy of ours that we have to repeat more and more frequently with each launch. We said the same with Vega FE. Same thing here.
I would think that nVidia learned from Vega about poor releases, but here we are again and now this time it's nVidia.
That is promising stuff/features that are just not there and just casually increase the price while at it.
Isn't that the whole philosophy with crowdfunding?! I knew why i didn't participate into any of that ;-)
@@KryssN1 they did learn. Instead of showing fixed and missing results, they just showed nothing. Because that's better, right?
I hate general screwery.
980 ti to 1080 - 25%~ performance gain for -$100
1080 ti to 2080 - 0%~ performance gain for +$150~
Jesus christ almighty
1080 ti to 2080 - 4% prformance gain for +$ 80 ... (and in the future raytracing and dlss tecnologies)
AMD sucking balls in the gpu front is certainly not helping matters. They need a Ryzen style GPU win pronto.
@@CaptToilet People would still buy Nvidia.
the next games will go with ray tracing and dlss... but not all games
The 2070 will be even worse. Same performance as 1080 I imagine for higher price since 1080 is on sale frequently. AND it will be shit at ray tracing since it's so cut down from 2080ti.
And here I was hoping the 2070 would match 1080ti and make 4K60 affordable 😑😑😑
GN is still the 1st video i watch on any launch day
Yep. Actual data, scathing honesty, RTX is clearly ON for this RUclips channel.
GN and Hardware Unboxed for me. Their quality is unmatched on yt
I watched Linus first then came here, there's 5 more 2080/Ti videos on my subscribtion box but won't see those
it was not the first one because my lunch break is not that long lol!
Brutally honest, I love how Steve doesn't hesitate to call BS on tech giants. Thank you!
That's why he's the man .
I unsubed PC world today , brad and gordon sounded like complete nvidia shills , 1 hr video they defended nvidia like a little bitch. they try to justify high prices by saying it has new features , wtf? The features they didn't or couldn't benchmark. How can they recommend something like that. Fuck#$g shills.
They recommended rtx2080ti for $1200.00 , they said it only $1200.00 .wtf again? Only ? Nvidia gave them a script and they read it like a little bitch.
Unsub.
but can you use it if you do not have a table?
only if you use a swiss-army-knife to screw it in.
Oh, and you have to use "tweezers"...
Don't screw it to the table before spreading thermal paste on it with ur thermal paste applicator. Because short circuits and such.
make sure you put it on the insulating pads so you don't short it out also.
Tweezers are best used to help tie cables.
Don't forget to wear your "Anti Static wrist band"
First time watching a review by Gamers Nexus and it's by far the best and most detailed review. I love how he explains the reasons behind everything from game selection to comparison gpu's. It's like an engineering detailed overview. Overall extremely solid! -- SUBSCRIBED
It says a lot about the channel that of all the videos that went up 3 minutes ago, Gamers Nexus was the one I went to without hesitation.
same.
Same.
Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed for me.
Hell no to Jayztwocents.
@@MelvinKhosa I actually like jay too but he is just another style of Entertainment. I like gamers nexus because of how they present the information and their comments and critique on what is going on in the business and their dry humor

You sure Steve? That Toms article said don't wait, just buy it!
Why buy it , when you can just transfer your money to nvidia.
Awesome review Steve, still watching it but I skipped to the conclusion (forgive me) I really wanted to see what you ultimately thought, glad I got it right 😆
steve and steve are my first reviews i watch
I'll wait for AdoredTV's analysis of all the reviews .
@BERN Rudolph.... before what?
?
You said you'll wait for AdoredTV's review. He asked what you are waiting for. You are waiting for his review before doing what?
No other youtube channel can even come close to the quality of Gamers Nexus benchmarks.

*Just Don't Buy It*
That really deserves to be a meme all on its own now. 8)
I bought a 1080Ti SC2 a month ago for $600. I'm glad I did. At 1440p, they're basically equivalent, and I got a month more of gaming plus $200 in savings.
Give me that 2080 Ti benchmark you bastards!!!
Going up next! Also today for that one.
Lol😅👍
Give me the 2070 benchmark you bastards!!!
Not released yet.
TX 2030?
So essentially Turing is Pascal with ray tracking cores glued on?
animationcreations42 that's kinda what I was thinking. I think I'm going to hold onto my 1080ti for awhile
And Tensor cores which are not useful until rtx gets more development.
yes, and 50% more cash, RTX2060 is barely a GTX1070 and it's $399
Glenn V this comment aged poorly
@@fujikoalfonso7448 2021 be like: RTX 2060 is barely a GTX 1070 and it's $550. Maybe $399... If you're lucky.
*just buying it intensifies*
A lot of people who pre-ordered are gonna cry themselves to sleep tonight. At least the pillow will be being ray traced. #justbuyit
Does anyone outside of nvidia even know the absolute numbers on pre-orders? Their marketing people are easily awful enough to just put up some 10 cards for pre-order that are immediately out of stock due to all the reviewers needing them, which is meant to work as an advertisement. If stupid people believe that everyone is getting this and it's the new cool thing then they're more likely to want the product too.
Well I don't have absolute numbers but I saw quite a few posts on social media who pre-ordered the card. And those were only the peeps who shared it. Since availability has been postponed now I can imagine the pre order hype was pretty real.
U late, I bought a 1080 TI like a month ago XDDDDDDDD
Looks like we were right to do all of that kvetching after all...
Well...we can expect a new driver that "misteriously" gimps the 1080ti performance.
Diego Ignacio Falcone late bump
I hope so i got the FE 2080
Or a driver that is actually optimized for RTX cards which is now what we have. Comparing these cards at initial release of RTX was dumb. Reviewing them after nVidia has had time to refine/optimize the drivers makes more sense. The 2080 clearly beats a 1080ti at this point.
@@thesamsungexperiance8853 just bought a brand new rtx 2080ti founders. Monster card.
@@jencomben5080 does it hurt hard today? ;>
So basically, this generation is a complete regression in price/performance and is a flop.
pretty much ...
no it was not, the 10 series pretty much followed planned power curve increase from last two generations its the 20 series that simply fell flat on its face right now ...
yeah that sounds real familiar ... something like Intel that intentionally gimped theyr I7 CPUs for years with terrible toothpaste on heatspredders while laughing at AMD ... until AMD released Ryzen and combined with Intel being punished for theyr cornercutting designs by Spectre and Meltdown "patches" ...
The hardware world is a finicky market - one moment you are undisputed champion the other you are frantically searching for a way to save your business :)
we will see what AMD pushes out this time around, if its at least as powerful as 2080/1080Ti for competitive price i might buy team red this time instead because im fed up with Nvidia trying to SCAM people ...
...unless 1080p gigaray gaming at 15-40 fps is your thing.
Indeed. For me it is about price/performance. This is why in theory the RX480 was such a good card(but the reality of the market drove prices up like crazy). It was an entry level GPU sure, but it was amazing, and did everything you could want for 1080p60fps gaming which %90 of people still play at anyhow.
I don't expect them to compete with high end Nvidia this time, not yet. Maybe next time. But I do expect at the very least a repeat of the RX 400 series, a card that does everything you could ask for at the right price with good board partner support.
I think we may see more people buy AMD this time around because most people aren't buying high end cards, they are the type who want to buy a gtx1060 in the past, and this is the price point where AMD can do well. Since the 20 series is looking like a total flop, the average gamer may indeed be getting on board and familiar with AMD graphics again for the first time since probably the ATI days. If enough normal consumers realize that Nvidia isn't the only GPU company and then they trade blow for blow at the top end when they are ready to really kick butt, we will see a market reversal like what happened with Intel on the CPU front. I do see the gaming market as more casual and tech illiterate, so even still it could be hard to overcome the marketing and mind-share of Nvidia, but I still think it can be done. Not today, but eventually so long as AMD keep pace at the entry level, and research hard to make a killer top tier card some day.
This really is leaving a gap for AMD to come in and either catch up with better prices or just blow them up... PEW PEW PEW! lol As long as AMD doesn't wait too long.
Ya like what they did with wait for Vega right lol.
@@laujack24 In fairness, he said a gap. Not a guarantee. 7 nm NAVI has a chance to put AMD back in the graphics race or seal their fate as an also-ran forever dependent on console design.
They wanna answer this over-engineered, marketing mess of a launch... with a return to crossfire on a stick @_@
Looks like the Pascal line and it's flagship 1080ti aren't going anywhere for "best bang for your buck" cards, for quite some time.
AMD released rx580/vega a year too late. If the rx480 was released together with the 980 at $200 it would of put nvidia in a world of hurt. Pascal will stay strong if nvidia doesn't gimp it like they did with the 780ti, damn 960 was kicking the 780ti's ass when witcher 3 released. Sad day to own one.
...sooo...where did you get that RTX controller? I'm still stuck in a pre-HDR, SD world.
SD IRL sucks. You really need adaptive sync HDR IRL.
I know SD world well... myopia
when I put my glasses on, I get HD vision.
Ray Tracing sounds like it's awesome...or at least it's going to be awesome like 2-3 generations from now. This is a dumb product line in 2018.
I'm more concerned with how developers use it tbh. I think that because its a hybrid approach the industry won't adopt true Raytracing and will as usual be stubborn bastards. Remember that this isn't "true" raytracing, its still using the cheat methods we currently use today. The holygrail is pure true Raytracing in realtime. This is where I think RTX is vastly misleading people. But this comes down to the developers, the cards can do true Raytracing, its up to the developers to support it. My bet is that they won't.
cant wait for the 8008 BTX Ti Ts
But if they didn’t release it in 2018 and waited until 2021 you’d be saying “this is a dumb product line in 2021”. They need to release a product in order for it to be adopted over time.
it had to be done.
Something about this launch reminds me of the GTX 400 series... Can't put my finger on it... Maybe it's the thermals, the price or the die-size...
i had a gtx 480 oced to 900mhz on air. trust me 400 series is much much hotter
James Arthur You were able to cook eggs on that grill, I bet. :P
@@MunkeyChips i had the reference design with the exposed metal plate so its kind of a griddle i guess. seriously tho , 92c on 22c ambient 100% fans speed
Yeah, those cards got seriously hot. The reference cooler was a meme. People compared it to the George Foreman Grill. lol
It was really the 460 that was a good launch, sensible pricing, and two in SLI beat the 580 that came later (I had two EVGA FTWs). EVGA's 867MHz V2 model dropped as low as 110 UKP during its life, great price back then.
Those 51 unlikes are from Nvidia marketing team members for sure. Fantastic review by the way.
I wish you could still see those.

I'm starting to feel like picking up a cheap 1080ti... Should be a neat bump over my old 970.
same but I'm coming from a 750ti
Man, that would be quite the leap, lol.
Oh yeah. I might go for a used one off Ebay. They're going for like $550 these days, lol.
@@Klefth exactly what I did, no regrats, used 1080ti sub 500dollars, EVGA
Goddamn, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.
Jesus Christ! No wonder they didn't want to show any charts you're basically paying 200$ or more (you can buy a 1080ti for a decent price used now) for the same performance and muh raytracing.
My man, you can buy a NEW 1080TI for 200€ cheaper (EU).
I bought a desktop GTX 1080 on clearance. Saw some sweet 1080ti deals last month when I snagged my, relatively dirt cheap, brand new GTX 1080. I knew RTX was fishy from the getgo.
It's funny when we look back at the reviews of Turing GPUs after Ampere has launched
Welp, order cancelled. Sigh, wanted these to be good.
Why would you even pre order the damn thing? You couldn't be so gullible as to believe it was going to be worth the exuberant price.
There is no risk in preordering when you can cancel and get a full refund the day before launch.
This....reserve with no penalty, the Pascal cards were unable to be found for MONTHS after launch.
I’m even more satisfied with my 1080 ti purchase a month ago now. 😁
So it's a 1085...

1080S
More like 1080 Ti + RTX
More like a 1075 in terms of performance.
Correct and the 2080 ti is just titan RTXp 😂
Hey Guys,
Just an FYI @15:14 you guys talk about 1440p in GTAV and still have the 4K charts up. I checked out the article so I was able to get numbers from there, but might want to amend your description or add a pinned comment with numbers or directing people to the chart!
Fantastic review as always! Tremendous work has been done by everyone at GN to get this much information in one video!
Calling on NVIDIA to hire you guys for a chart creation workshop. Sick job, thanks for putting these cards into perspective.
I already see preorders canceled.Prices unjustified. NVidia skunk works behind all the shady business.
*skunk.
@@sneakeyboard8305 tnx for correction
If you will use it for actual work is justified and I agree 2080ti is way better. But just to jump on RTX train and can't use it is dumb at least. 2080 should be in rank of 1080ti. They just go way too greedy.
we can always count on Gamers Nexus to give us the real details!!!
Yeah GN is king
What a complete joke of a GPU, same performance as a 1080 ti, $200+ more vs sale 1080 ti, RTX features half baked and unavailable for testing.
2080 Ti is anywhere from 30-50% depending on the game over a 1080 Ti.
still too early to judge these new cards. the ray tracing isn't ready, drivers aren't ready, AI features aren't in the games. I think we are a year too early to see how these things really perform. but that being said, DON'T BUY THESE TODAY, WAIT FOR GAMES TO USE RAY TRACING AND TENSOR AI
$200 more? LOL i just picked up a 1080 Ti on ebay for $480. saved me a $h!t ton of money.
Its better in some cases, worse in others, without using RT and Tensor Cores which is the massive change for this architecture, which I assume is the difference in cost but what that actually brings, we must wait for benchmarks
Don't forget the VRAM regression from 11 to 8 GB.
SL why is your video not number one in all feeds to do with RTX 2080 ??? This is by far the best video I've seen of any clear benchmarks. Thank you very much but putting this video together and sharing it. Subbed!!!
Can we all agree...Steve's hair is looking pretty darn sweet today? Someone lathered up for this video.
and rinsed and repeated
Lol I did say wait his hair seems perfectly in place what's happening
*RTX On*
He finally enabled Nvidia Hairworks
Thr4shie at the very end I was staring at his hair like wait he can barely see now is he going full Buildzoid on us or is he just waiting to pull it behind his ear for the camera, and then he pulled it out of his face so i was left unsure, hair works it is
Great video! Small note: At 15:13 the commentary talks about GTA V 1440p but the graph is still for GTA V 4K.
So the 2080 costs more than the 1080ti and performs worse. Right, I'll pass.
The 2080 FE cost more. The base/partner 2080's will launch at the same MSRP as the 1080ti did. On top of that, the 2080 is pretty much on par with 1080ti in almost every benchmark. Which is a good thing since the 1080ti is sitting on two plus years of driver optimizations while the 2080 is on early drivers as of this test. If they were to compare the 1080ti when it was on its early drivers, the benchmarks would paint a much different picture. Future drivers should see a nice bump in performance which is pretty much always the case for any new generation GPU.
They’re basically the same in “regular” game performance, it sucks that there are no rtx games to show any difference
@@PsychicSugar99 and no DLSS which IMO is the Savior of these cards without DLSS I don't see any reason to buy these cards...
Where are you seeing that it performs worse? It looks like it's leading on all the benchmarks albeit by a small amount.
In the newest game Shadow of the Tomb Raider it was better without using the fancy tensor cores. If DLSS does half of Nvidia are claiming and you can get it at MSRP it seems worth the money, but we still have to wait for the games and then the benchmarks
Thank you so much for using an aftermarket 1080Ti!! I was sick of seeing reviews showing massive gains then realizing that's 1080TI FE vs essentially an aftermarker quality cooler for the 20xx, and seeing the 1080Ti at 1584MHz and the 20xx at near 1900 when I know darn well that the aftermarket 1080 and 1080Ti reach 1900-2000MHz by themselves easily. Thanks a ton!!

I recently found your channel and i gotta say.. THANK YOU for the great review/analysis of the cards. Speed,sound, heat and most important of all - Price per Performance ratio.. were the things i look for in a review.
You did them all well, honest from what i can see from the charts, brutally honest even. If i were Nvidia, i dont know how i would feel. Then again, i would be happy, cuz you are promoting their old cards ;p Its a win win for everyone haha! (AMD WHERE ARE YOU!!!)
You got a new Sub from me for sure. (Plus it was interesting the way the video was structured.) Keep up the good work, i will surely come back to check the partner cards. Gigabyte/EVGA for life :) I hope EVGA wont have fan curve problems this time around.
There's no need to state that this is a long comment as I read it in 12 seconds lol. But great sentiments.

"You'll be dead by the time amd can compete again" LMAO. This comment is the truth. If AMD is a real competitor would Nvidia rush this RTX launch? For all its issues, AMD is not even in the same zip code as the RTX right now.
THANK YOU for not sticking it against reference cards exclusively. All the other reviewers have been doing this and it just seems silly to me.
Fromm all the videos about the RTX in just 1 minute, this is the one I clicked!
I'm hair for the hairworks
I had the gut feeling that this will be the case since I watched the new gen presentation. There was nothing but RTX sample videos... Now the benchmarks confirms it. Thanks for the great video Gamers Nexus!!!
Haha! It makes sense now why Nvidia did not want to market these cards accurately, the performance jumps are laughable compared to the price they are asking. But, just buy it for the experience.
You can always look to Tech Jesus for the unvarnished, no-bullshit, content. Subbed and will remain glued to this channel on that merit alone.
2080 really doesn't seem worth the extra £150 compared to a 1080ti, 2080ti better justify that price jump or I' m gonna be holding out for AMD's next card
Frankly, you better hold out for nVidia's next generation. It's gonna have much beefier ray tracing cores, and by then there are gonna be actual games with ray tracing in them.
@@erejnion I don't want to support Nvidia's price gouging after this shit show
Nvidia probably will counter AMD again when Navi launches. Just like they did with Vega. They released the 2080Ti this time around as well because either:
a) They knew the 2080 wasn't fast enough for enthusiasts to consider upgrading
or
b) They already have a secret weapon in their locker, waiting for Navi to land, then again crush the competition
Either way they are still miles ahead and stand to gain since AMD best offer (Vega 64) is nowhere close to their top 3 cards (not a good picture), and Intel is the new kid in the block, not a threat atm. The one holding the crown and has the mindshare commands the market. Unless FreeSync 2 (on TVs as well) and Navi hit it out of the park, we won't see a big shift in the GPU market.
@@AssassinKID are c) they could release the next gpu in a shorter timespan and try to get another cash injection by crippling your wallet and maybe release a gtx 2080 and gtx 2080 ti 😁 and just laugh at there consumers and falling to the ground saying " fooled you all with that rtx launch here are the normal gtx cards"
@@AssassinKID that wasn't a counter, AMD straight up tripped over themselves with that one.
Conspiracy theory time, nvidia actually intentionally gimped the 20 series to be pretty much no improvement over 10 series so that the heaps of unsold mining boom Pascal GPUs could still be sold without discounting.
And if Boost 4.0 overclocking with placebo sliders wasn't such a cockblock perhaps it would be possible to see the solid 5-15% improvement over Pascal.
It's more likely that they were banking on their 10nm tech to be ready by this point, and any potential gains woud be seen from that. As it stands, looks like they gone as far as they can push it on the current wafers.
Nvidia is one dirty company , they are totally doing it for sure. That's why I don't support them with my wallet, doesn't matter how faster their cards are.
Vega 56 is serving me good here. Until next gen amd GPUs.
Yeah , I wouldnt be supprised in a huge price drop when their 10series cards run out , or they just throw out new rtx cards in a year.
*Never Pre-Order*
Remember "Tits of GTFO."? I think "Benchmarks or no Pre-Order" must be a standard after NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti...
Just buy it. You want raytracing in your life.
Built my PC last year using a 1080 Seahawk EK for 600.00. (one week before the prices went nuts!) I'm very happy with this card, and very happy that I bought it when I did! I'll be keeping it!
2080 should have been the 2070, as it barely meets/beats a 1080ti and is the TU104 die. and given the 30mo since Pascal launch, we should almost be looking at 3000 series benches. combine those two with the insane pricing, and Turing/RTX is a huge disappointment. DLSS could be nice and i'm glad Nvidia is pushing for RT development, but there's not enough positives here to justify the costs. $380 2080 / $500 2080ti (and relabel them to match their die codes, like Keplar-Pascal)... otherwise, no thx.
I love your optimism but please $500 for a 2080 would have been amazing - $380 is a nutty pipe dream. Also as per the last reply, complete TU104 core in 2080 is in line with complete GP104 core in 1080’s, and so on and so forth as you go back. Finally again, performance jump seems to be in line with past increases at 1440p and above but price increase does not match indeed - such is the liberty they have by claiming new technologies and possessing such market share
gtx1080 was GP104, as noted by you guys, but my point was that the $380 msrp 1070 was *also a 104 die* (just cut down a bit from 1080) while still out-performing the previous gen 980ti. The $350 970 beat the 780ti. So the $800 2080 is a smaller performance gain, for more than double the price, while being an entire product tier higher.
HAHA a 2080TI is faster than the Titan V for under half the price...…………...the 2080 should be around 600-700$ mark, 2070 400-500$, The 2080ti is right where it should be as we most likely aren't getting a titan.
Nocturnal101 Ravenous ...the 2080ti is only a TU102 die, not the full uncut Turing - so there will be a Titan (or whatever they name an uncut full Turing GPU) at some point.
fun fact: prior to Keplar, the flagship launch GPU of each new series was always the uncut die, & cost between $450-700 (after inflation adjustment). still think the cut-down $1200 2080ti is a good deal?
almost no one knows this. Nvidia has taken the mid tier and made it the supposed top tier, and made the real top tier cost twice as much as it once did and called it a Titan.
This is my go to channel for new hardware reviews and you guys have never let me down.
Oh Nvidia... what have you done...
Anyone else hoping that GN does a giveaway with the card that Steve took a heat gun to? Just: "Here's a box with the GPU, loose aluminum, plastic, and 75 screws."
I've been constantly refreshing for this video :D
15:12 I think you posted the 4k results again instead of 1440p. But still a great review. Thank you for your amazing content
so today buy 1080ti
I expected the 2080 would be fairly close in performance to the 1080 Ti but I didn't expect it to be almost identical. Good news is my 1080 Ti is going to last me longer than I originally expected.
so... this card is only good in 10 years when games will implement ray tracing
I'm guessing we'll get some games with poorly implemented ray tracing over the next year, then when the next gen of video cards launch it will be time to make the switch, because all the games will actually be able to use it. And let Nvidia and AMD optimize the architecture for ray tracing.
exactly its a dev card for future. its not for gamers.
And in 10 years, this card can't play sht decently anymore, even in normal settings! "Delay don't buy today"
Bethesda will have Skyrim with ray tracing out by xmas for 30 bucks... and some of you will buy it.
Unless Nvidia offers a developer incentive there will never be ray tracing lol
The 2080 performing the same as the 1080ti may not always stay that way when in future the 3gb memory difference may have an impact. If I don’t absolutely need RT I would always prefer the pascal card.
At that point you will want to upgrade to the next RTX.. If you saw the poor performance when they put RTX on (at 1080p), you would know its completely irrelevant at this point. If you have all the money and have 4k monitor, go for 2080ti, but 2080 is not worth it, in any case.
yeah but biggest problem is nvidia and drivers.. will they just start ignoring pascal just to focus on rtx, If the 11 series is true? hard to trust nvidia lately.. They completely fobbed off thermi when the 600 series hit and some of us ended up with nvapi.dll error blue screens on a few drivers so we had to sit there on old drivers for months on end until they just magically started working one day after a driver release.
Hahahahahahaha I knew it! I kept trying to warn everyone, stupid fanboys didn't listen. I bought a 1080 ti for half the price of a 2080. The guy who sold it to me was a fanboy who was so overhyped about the rtx cards he sold me a card he bought only a couple of months ago, receipt, warranty, in perfect shape. Hahahahahahaha
More or less the same for me 😁👏. Now, next year, when the real cards come we'll see if is worthy the money, haha
I have had my 2 1080s Tis since March 2017
djchristian82 False
I did almost the same
Had my 1080ti for about a year and it pretty much paid for itself + extra during the mining craze. Looking to buy another one now from RTX kool-aid drinking fanboys dirt cheap.
i really like the graphs showing frame rate consistency in the benchmarks
So basically, RTX 2080, exactly the GTX 1080ti.
Thank you for including 980ti numbers! Other reviews I have seen are only showing last gen AMD and nVidia cards, leaving the 900 series out.
Turns out I'm going to die without any part of my life having Ray Tracing even tho I pre-ordered it... I wanna sue Tom's Hardware before I die.
lmao
I didn’t realize the cool feature of this channel having blue bars on the side that measures the time left in that particular segment. That is, until I watched this after some herb.
Thanks for comparing AIB cards. Other reviewers are using the FE 1080's which are 🚮
@GamerNexus, amazing video, BUT one correction, keep in mind RTX is an nvidia thing, but is nothing more than the driver side of raytracing. Raytracing is part of DirectX api, is called DXR, so is different of physx or any nvidia library where you can either use it or not. It is a directX feature, if AMD and INTEL want to be DirectX compatible they will need to implement it in the driver, whether will be hardware accelerated or not is a whole different thing, but ALL vendor will need to support it if they want to be up to date with latest DirectX specification (and they MUST). This is also a massive guarantee for developers to adopt it, that it will run on any hardware not only nvidia ones.
THE EMBARGO HAS FINALLY LIFTED!
ANDDDDD no one is surprised by any of the results.
I ended up purchasing a RTX 2080 recently for two reasons, I don't update my card very much...and by the time I went about building a new computer 1080 Ti prices had skyrocketed to over 1000 dollars(1200-1300 seemed to be average from what I looked at). So the 2080 seemed to be the better route to go. Though I went with an MSI one rather than a FE.
Screw it ! I got a 180 TI on eBay for $ 375. US
It is okay to use the edit feature, and congrats on the great deal. ;)
@Transistor Jump it's possible for a used one. I wouldn't trust it though, lol.
He got a 180ti not a 1080ti.
180ti supports hay tracing doesn't it?
You know what I wish I could get for $375? A damn vega 64, those fuckers aint going down at all.
I picked up a 1080ti Zotac Amp Edition for $599 new on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. After seeing these reviews... no regrets
Looks like Im holding onto my 1080ti for a few more years haha
Steve - issue @ 15:14. You've used the same graphic twice. Both display the 4K results. Please upvote so the team can add a note.
Ill just say to all those people that lick the bottom of nvidia´s feet: you got what you deserve! you people are the REAL reason why the graphics market have these prices.
@Gottlieb M. And they always will. And amd knows it.
I don't they will bother anymore and it is the best business decision they made in years.
They lose money even if their csrds are cheaper and faster... Not a good business strategy.
Seriously, your graphs and timelines are sick!!!
It just works.
:)))))))))))))
WHY ISN'T IT WORKING
1. Silent all reviewer
2. Product launch
3. Order received & Shipment released
4. Job done, whatever you say.
WELL. 1080TI WINS
Perhaps Nvidia should consult with Gamers Nexus, LTT, Jayz Two Cents and other reviewers for their next launch. Y'all can tell them what to release, what specs it needs, what software it needs to have supporting it, what the price should be and what embargos(if any) should be present. I'm only half kidding. But seriously, with the growing popularity of online reviews, why isn't their more coordination on launches? Instead of a release shrouded in secrecy and vague release specs, they could coordinate with reviewers transparently so reviewers wouldn't have to speculate, which would earn the respect of the end buyers. In the end, I think consumers respect honesty in marketing almost as much as performance.
it's not worth it if you have 1080ti, just wait for the next gen one when more games also support ray tracing and dlss
I love this channel. I'm always trying to learn more about my beloved components, and GN finds metrics and methodology that makes me realize how much I have left to learn.
GTX 1070 is officially a 1080p now. Look at shadow of the tomb raider benchmark. You need a 1070 for 1080p ultra. Future games will be even more demanding. Better get GTX 1080Ti for 1080p and forget about upgrading and enjoy ultra 60-120FPS in all games.
Arif did you even English?
high > ultra anyways. to those looking to upgrade get a secondhand 1070 and enjoy your great value card
bro, full hd looks ok only on monitors 24 inch and below, on 27, 28,32 and larger screens it sucks ass. I have 31.5" monitor and play in 2K\4K (depends on game), but in full hd picture looks REALLY blurry.
Mori Summer mind if I ask how old you are? I’m not a troll and I’m not going to verbally assault you regardless of the answer, just a.) curious and b.) think there’s a potentially interesting and worthwhile dialogue to have here.
I'm 25 y.o. I don't know about "potentially interesting and worthwhile dialogue"
September 27, 2023. Can't believe this is over 5 years ago at this point!
70c 1800rpm wtf 90% fan speed
I liked the video as soon as I saw the "RTX ON" & "RTX OFF" joke, which I felt was a homage to the outrageous Tom's Hardware review on the RTX cards!
£500 for my 1080TI new two weeks ago , NVIDEA i hope your holding your head in shame , no benchmarks at launch was a clear indication that this card wouldnt perform any better but with a 60% price increase , .. Stop trying to compete with Apple with your over inflated pricing, Graphics cards are not the latest must have phone and bring back performance for a FAIR RETURN
Great and perfectly honest review. Good job guys.
Lol, so people preordered 2080s without waiting for reviews, because of their blind faith in Nvidia. Once again, proves people with money arent necessarily smarter than those without.
A wave of overstocked and returned 2080's is about to hit Nvidia, I bet.
Thank you doing all of this Steve and crew!
I've watched several reviews today, and I'm beginning to see a theme. A theme outside of the actual performance of these cards. It's a certain tone reviewers are applying to Nvidia as a company. It's not derogatory, but it isn't exactly praising either. Sort of the tone a divorced parent would use with their child when asked, "do you still love mommy/daddy?". Nvidia's tomfoolery (see what I did there?) has really started to jade everyone to the point where I think it is going to start hurting them. Nvidia - pray AMD doesn't release a monster and put you in the position Intel is in. The emperor has no clothes.
Thank you so much Steve and everyone at GN. This has informed me of my future purchases.
This is by far the worst product launch GG Nvidia, I was defensive for you, and now it seems like it's a re-brand with hardware gimmics.
*i bet nvidia loves that "be quiet" sponsorship before the 2080 review*
