Battlefield 1 (DX11)
Battlefield 1 returns from the 2017 benchmark suite, the 2017 benchmark suite with a bang as DICE brought gamers the long-awaited AAA World War 1 shooter a little over a year ago. With detailed maps, environmental effects, and pacy combat, Battlefield 1 provides a generally well-optimized yet demanding graphics workload. The next Battlefield game from DICE, Battlefield V, completes the nostalgia circuit with a return to World War 2, but more importantly for us, is one of the flagship titles for GeForce RTX real time ray tracing, although at this time it isn't ready.
We use the Ultra preset is used with no alterations. As these benchmarks are from single player mode, our rule of thumb with multiplayer performance still applies: multiplayer framerates generally dip to half our single player framerates. Battlefield 1 also supports HDR (HDR10, Dolby Vision).
| Battlefield 1 | 1920x1080 | 2560x1440 | 3840x2160 |

| 99th Percentile |  |

At this point, the RTX 2080 Ti is fast enough to touch the CPU bottleneck at 1080p, but it keeps its substantial lead at 4K. Nowadays, Battlefield 1 runs rather well on a gamut of cards and settings, and in optimized high-profile games like these, the 2080 in particular will need to make sure that the veteran 1080 Ti doesn't edge too close. So we see the Founders Edition specs are enough to firmly plant the 2080 Founders Edition faster than the 1080 Ti Founders Edition.
The outlying low 99th percentile reading for the 2080 Ti occurred on repeated testing, and we're looking into it further.

burntmybacon just like popinfresh, i guess you will never understand the concept of " no competition, we can charge what ever we want, and people will STILL buy it cause it is the only option if you want the best or fastest " it has NOTHING to do with knowing cost info or what a companies profit margins are... but i guess you will never understand this as welleva02langley - Thursday, September 20, 2018 - link
Once again, not AMD fault if Nvidia is trying to corner AMD with new hardware gimmicks like physix, and charging the customers.You never intended in buying an AMD card anyway, you just want a more affordable Nvidia solution. Guess what, pay for it or leave it.
Even by earning 100K a year, I refuse to pay the gimmick tax. I will buy Navi at release. Screw Nvidia.

What a cool piece of technology!Raytracing would be amazing to have in games, and it really is the future of gaming. Its crazy to think there will be games with it already next year. (And some later this year!)
Is it too expensive? Meh, we are talking about TWENTY BILLION transistors squeezed into the area of a postage stamp.
People pay 600-1000$ for a phone, and some have no problem paying 1000$ for a CPU or a designer chair.
7-1200$ isn’t an unreasonable price for a cutting edge GPU that’s capable of raytracing and will be fast enough for the newest games for years to come.

Did that nvidia check cash they sent you to promote the items yet?shabby - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
Definitely a shill, its too obvious.tamalero - Thursday, September 20, 2018 - link
Theres way too many here defending nvidia just because "its a huge chip".That means nothing for the consumer. We're not buying SIZE, we're buying PERFORMANCE AND FEATURES.

Some of the pro-RTX posts sound more like basic trolling though, just to stir things up. If they're getting paid to post +ve stuff, they're doing a pretty rotten job of it. :DformulaLS - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
Your comments sounds like a paid ad. There is no decency excuse for the prices they are charging.DigitalFreak - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
He has a point. People are willing to pay $1000 for a phone, $1000 for a CPU, but $1000 for a high end graphics card is outrageous? I wish the pricing was cheaper, but I'm not having a fit over it. If people don't want to pay the price, they won't. If Nvidia doesn't sell the numbers they want, they'll probably cut the price somewhat.Fritzkier - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
The $1000 phone actually had more technological advancement... And it's an SoC not individual parts...About a $1000 CPU, it's normal because it's enthusiast product (e.g. Threadripper or i9). There's no $1000 i7 or Ryzen 7...
Nvidia shouldn't have made 2080 Ti. They should've made Titan Turing or something...
