You know, I think it took less than an hour before Time Spy benchmarks leaked on the RTX 2080 after NVIDIA released a driver. Just wow, as that was even before I had a chance to download the driver my... GeForce RTX 2080 3DMark Time Spy and Fire Strike scores leak
Looks on par with a 1080ti. In the standard timespy I get 10025 gpu score (without manual overclock, so @1911mhz), that's on a 3770k @4.5ghz
The smart move would be to spend another $150 and get an RTX 2080 ti instead of buying a last generation card that doesn't have tensor cores for raytracing and DLSS. But even at $800-$850, it would definitely be worth the money over the 1080 ti for just those features. Buying a 1080ti at full retail price is like buying a 2018 model year car at sticker price when the 2019 models have already arrived. Kinda foolish to buy something that has already depreciated a year.
The hype is gone, do not buy a video card because of Ray Tracing! LMFAO. Its the ONLY selling factor which is not worth the price in anyway shape or form, They just want to make a quick buck before the end of the year.
I spotted that it's a Gigabyte card so hopefully it's just a windforce/gamer version and not an OC'd Aorus.
