In less than two weeks, all Nvidia RTX 2080 analyzes, analyzes and warnings will no longer be relevant. Indeed, all reviewers performing tests on the graphics card of the next generation of Nvidia will publish their results and conclusions from 17 September.
The information comes from Videocardz, a leading firm that saw the NDA sent by Nvidia to the technical press for both RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 reviews.
If the details of the NDA are true, Nvidia has built a three-step cycle for the big launch of RTX. On September 14, the editors will experience a deep dive into Turing architecture. On September 17, the RTX 2080 reviews will be published and curious players of the flagship product RTX 2080 Ti will have to wait until September 19th.
Nvidia said the two cards would be shipped to customers on pre-order on or around September 20th. I therefore regard this early embargo as a sign of confidence on the part of Nvidia. In the world of game reviews, it is generally believed that if a publisher lifts an embargo before at the release date of a game, the game should receive positive reviews. If the embargo falls on or after the publication date, there is usually speculation that the publisher is waiting for the last possible time to maximize the pre-orders and sales of the launch day.
The Nvidia RTX family of graphics cards is the first consumer gaming card to enable real-time ray tracing on video games. Nvidia has dedicated much of its launch to promoting the benefits of ray tracing for developers and gamers. It's an incredibly painful feature, though. At Gamescom, the press witnessed the next match Shadow of the Tomb Raider hardly reach 60 frames per second at 1080p on a RTX 2080 Ti. Somewhere else, Metro Exodus – using ray tracing, HairWorks and Advanced PhysX, only got 40 frames per second at 1080p on the RTX 2080 Ti.
Nvidia sells its Founders edition of the 2080 Ti for $ 1199. A recently disclosed benchmark (which has not been verified as genuine) places it at around 35% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in DX12 performance.
What worries me is that no matter how revolutionary and heavy computing that is required, players paying upwards of $ 1,000 for a graphics card will expect solid 4K performance with all the enabled features, and that's not what they'll get.
Opinions based on Gamescom's first impressions have been mixed, with some in the technical press insisting that the success of the performance is absolutely worth the visual flair and realism that results. Others are skeptical about the pricing of the RTX family and the speed at which developers will adopt real-time ray tracing in their games. I still think that as wonderful as this technology is, it makes sense to wait for the second generation of RTX cards when they are more affordable and the technology is more widely used.
You can expect reviewers to analyze RTX enabled games and RTX, provide price / performance graphics and performance comparisons between GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 (the RTX 2080 Ti is essentially the new Titan).
Soon, we will have a lot of data to go through, so stay seated and keep your finger on this pre-order button!
For Linux fans at home, read why Phoronix thinks you should skip this first-generation RTX.
