Its becoming increasingly clear that Nvidia is going to knock among the park with Ampere. The business is equally particular of this– a lot so, that its showing the hardware honestly in head-to-head match-ups against the RTX 2080 Ti.
There are going to be some regretful RTX 2080 Ti owners out there, though I d argue that while the RTX 2080 Ti is no longer the fastest card money can buy, its still an exceptionally quick piece of devices. Amperes ray tracing abilities are anticipated to outperform Turings by some margin, however the RTX 2080 Ti will hold value in that classification longer than any other Turing GPU.
The only thing I d note about this comparison is that ids engines have a track record for running extremely well on a broad range of hardware. One adverse effects of this, however, is that its performance rankings can be a bit different than what other engines show. I dont think its unreasonable for the RTX 3080 to be 1.5 x faster than the RTX 2080 Ti, typically, but a single point metric absent any context is just a great measurement of itself.
I do not pre-judge hardware and do not suggest pre-ordering anything, hardware or otherwise, but I have to admit that Nvidia has got me curious. Ampere represents a much bigger leap ahead for the business on many fronts than the degree of improvement we saw from Maxwell to Pascal, or Pascal to Turing.
The gameplay videos weve seen from the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have been impressive, however Nvidias prices is incredibly aggressive. The closest I recall, without going back to check reviews, would be if you compared Kepler (first-generation 28nm) with Pascal (first-generation 16nm) to record the impact of the node shrink. Pascals performance enhancements over Maxwell were rather great, and the prices on the cards were thought about competitive and fair for what they provided, but this dive looks unmatched.
It was currently going to be an interesting vacation season, with two consoles, strong refreshes from Intel and AMD, and two brand-new GPU architectures hitting all at once. With Nvidias Ampere pricing, were looking at a lot of enjoyable launches from here up until Christmas.

In Doom Eternal at 4K, the RTX 3080 rips through the video game at frame rates from the 130s to 170+. There are going to be some regretful RTX 2080 Ti owners out there, though I d argue that while the RTX 2080 Ti is no longer the fastest card money can buy, its still an exceptionally fast piece of devices.

I dont think its unreasonable for the RTX 3080 to be 1.5 x faster than the RTX 2080 Ti, on average, but a single point metric missing any context is just a good measurement of itself.
