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 |
| Average FPS |  |

| 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.

lol that distinct impression is your own personal bias.A High price is a High price regardless of who's logo is on it.

Probably because you yourself are a fanboy.Spunjji - Friday, September 21, 2018 - link
And your evidence for that assertion is... presumably still up your ass, as you have yet to pull it out.wavetrex - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
Wow... another review which is comparing shitty Pascal FE to Turding FE and unrealistic MRSP to MRSP.Instead of comparing... you know, actual cards that you can buy (partner cards), at the prices they are at ?
How much are Nvidia paying you guys to write such biased, unrealistic review, to attempt to salvage this disastrous launch ?
Sometimes I wonder why haven't I already removed Anandtech from my bookmarks yet.
I might just do that after I finish posting this comment.

Are they supposed to have a real-time pricing information link to what each card will cost?If you think they got paid to offer up a less than glowing review.. lol.

There are plenty of other reviews out there you can read.DILLIGAFF - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
reminds me of something...... same situation and outcome..pushing new tek the hardware is horrible price/perf https://www.anandtech.com/show/742/12from geforce 3 it took till geforce 6 to get a nvidia gpu that was good on performance and price...i guess 1200 bux is the new 500 bux

Huge gains in Wolfenstein II when using vulkanI like to see Doom with Vulkan test please

The computing benchmark really means a lot. But I wonder why GTX-10 series are absent in SGEMM tests. They should be able to get quite some GFLOPs in SGEMM.godrilla - Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - link
Nvidia could be capping performance of turing to make pascal look good in comparison to sell remaining stock which is a win win for nvidia they don't have to discount pascal to maintain max profits. Look at most convulsions saying pascal is still competitive in comparison to the 2080. Unfortunately we don't have a choice in a monopoly. When intel enters the gpu market we are probably going to have the most competition in a long time even if its mid level.
