F1 2018 (DX11)

Succeeding F1 2016 is F1 2018, Codemaster's latest iteration in their official Formula One racing games. It features a slimmed down version of Codemasters' traditional built-in benchmarking tools and scripts, something that is surprisingly absent in DiRT 4.

Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained; otherwise, we should see any newer versions of Codemasters' EGO engine find its way into F1. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2018 keeps a useful racing-type graphics workload in our benchmarks.

Average FPS

Surprisingly, F1 2018 runs into the similar situation of the 1080 Ti performing too close for comfort in regards to the 2080. The CPU load at lower resolutions grants a slight reprieve, but in any case the F1 series - and by extension, F1 2018 - are somewhat of a known quantity, especially as a generally polished game and HDR supporting title.

    Unlike a video card, DVD were a STANDARD. set to replace the DVD. This wasn't a war between BETAMAX and VHS again. It was an evolution.
    And as you said it, they had a few titles coming on.
    Nvidia currently is offering ZERO options for what they charge insanely.

    Even those 4k TVs you mentioned.. had demos and downlodable content.
    It was the future.

    Nvidia's game in some of these RTX features are solely of Nvidia, not a global standard.

    Errata: set to replace the "CDS" not DVDs.. They do really need an edit button here.

    Not a great comparrison.
    Mainly because: games making use of RTX and othe new features is: Zero.
    OlED and 4k/DVD/Blue: pretty much zero/extremely small/dozen or so - not of the aforementioned is as low as zero, so the consumer could see what they were getting.

    Early adopters have always paid over the odds for an immature experience. That's the decision they make. You pays your money and you takes your chances...

    Yes, drug addicts would also agree

    RTX - Radeon technology cross off the list. Nvidia is free to price as they please XD

    1080 Ti vs 980 Ti ~ 70% for 50$ more MSRP

    1080 vs 980 ~ 60% for 50$ more MSRP

    2080 Ti vs 1080 Ti ~ 30% for 300$ more MSRP (actual price difference is a lot more)

    Please, let's boycott Turing cards.

    nVidia must learn its lesson.

    Skip it.

    If you look at AMDs Vega and compare it with the previous AMD flagship: Fury, you see a similar 30-40% increase in performance.

    In other words: This isn’t Nvidia wanting to rip gamers off, it’s just a consequence of GPU makers pushing up against the end of Moore’s law.

    It IS nVidia wanting to rip off gamers. Their prices are absolutely a huge rip off for what you get.

    Blame AMD for not competing. Nvidia would never be able to do this if AMD had a competitive offering.
