F@H fp64 tests were tossed a while back when both teams green and red castrated double precision (DP) capability in consumer cards. AMD had stellar DP ratios later than Nvidia did I believe, but neither does any more. On the other hand, I'm very curious to see what kind of scientific app could make use of the blistering half precision capability of today's cards.
I only skimmed the article but I didn't see any info on if RTX performance also increased across the line? As someone who owns a 2560x1440 monitor, any "RTX" featured card I get has to be able to perform at 2560x1440x60fps+ "RTX-ON" or its a worthless feature to me. Last time i checked the 2080 *barely* met that spec in current games and the 2080ti was really you best choice if you wanted to maintain a solid 60fps with RTX.
No, it's a fair question, because we don't know how fast those cores are running, or if that impacts everything else (considering they might take significant power).
I agree, does RTX benefit from the additional clock speed and are more of the cores enabled, or does the GPU downclock when running RTX like an Intel processor when doing AVX?
I hate to be that guy, but did you read the article? It answers all of that.
For example, the 2070S is a 2080 chip with a few of the CUDA cores fused off, but is clocked 100 MHz higher than the 2080 and 200 MHz higher than the old 2070.

Deep Learning is the current buzzword. There's your use case.catavalon21 - Sunday, July 21, 2019 - link
Good point, thanks.Bp_968 - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link

Well yes, of course it has. When you buy a 2070 you’re basically getting a 2080 now.GreenReaper - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link

RTX 2060S: 30->34 RT cores, 2070S: 36->40 cores, from spec sheets at:https://www.pcworld.com/article/3406396/nvidia-gef...
