![]() ![]() The GTX 1080 Ti does very well in Metro Exodus, beating the RTX 2070 Super by a convincing 10% margin. It's hardly poor performance, but with some optimization work the GTX 1080 Ti could certainly do better here. ![]() ![]() Here we're looking at a 14% performance boost at 1440p, taking us from 80 fps to just over 90 fps.Ĭontrol has been heavily optimized for the Turing architecture (it's one of the few ray traced/DLSS titles available) and as a result the GTX 1080 Ti suffers only delivering comparable performance to that of the RTX 20 XT. The Gears 5 results are interesting as we see a situation where the GTX 1080 Ti and its many more cores is able to comfortably beat the RTX 2070 Super. Using the highest in-game quality settings you're looking at well over 60 fps at all times when gaming at 1440p. The GTX 1080 Ti delivers comparable performance to the RTX 2070 Super and this time also the 5700 XT. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was released just before the Turing GPUs, so it's still well optimized for Pascal. Again, a strong result for the aging flagship GPU. We had expected the 1080 Ti to drop off with this newer Vulkan implementation, but it seems Nvidia has optimized the Pascal GPU properly here. This is also what you'd typically expect to see given the 2070 Super is similar to an RTX 2080. Ghost Recon Breakpoint at 1440p sees the GTX 1080 Ti and 2070 Super very evenly matched. As an unfortunate side note, we had some issues completing testing with the RTX 2080, however the 2070 Super and RTX 2080 are fairly evenly matched, not quite as similar as the RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070, but there's really not much more in it.Īll in all, the old 1080 Ti is killing it here with high refresh rate performance at 1440p. We're covering 1080p and 1440p resolutions in over thirty titles with the respective performance breakdowns after discussing some of the more interesting game results.įirst up we have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and despite using DirectX 12, the GTX 1080 Ti is still able to get the better of the RTX 2070 Super and 5700 XT, though it has to be said performance is comparable. The inevitable question thus is, how does the old Pascal GPU compare to modern $400 - $500 GPUs? That's exaclty what we're going to find out with a comprehensive 35 game benchmark.Īs usual, all testing has been conducted using our Core i9-9900K GPU test system clocked at 5 GHz with 16GB of DDR4-3400 memory. For a while you could see people selling their GTX 1080 Ti's for as little as $400, which in hindsight was a steal at the time.Įven today, over three years after release, the GTX 1080 Ti is going for about $500 on the second-hand market. This had many prospective buyers actively hunting the remaining discounted GTX 1080 Ti stock, and once that dried up, the used market became a popular target. Ray tracing and DLSS made their debut as promising technology that you couldn't use.īy that point the GTX 1080 Ti was being sold for about $600, so even at the base MSRP, gamers were asked to dish out at least 20% more money for an RTX 2080 and there was no evidence that you were getting anything for that extra investment. You may not recall this, but Nvidia also made the Founders Edition version the only you could buy initially for an extra $100. These days we may have digested the GeForce RTX series as the top offering in Nvidia's lineup, but when the RTX 2080 launched in late 2018, it did so at the same $700 price point as the GTX 1080 Ti while offering no real performance advantage. This level of performance was made possible by a staggering 3584 CUDA cores, 17% more than the previous generation's Titan part, that were also clocked almost 50% higher.įor roughly 18 months the GTX 1080 Ti was the most powerful GeForce GPU on the market, but the fondness high-end gamers seemed to have for this GPU was only magnified when Nvidia showed it the door with the GeForce RTX 20 series. We were impressed with what Nvidia managed to achieve at the time, and while cost per frame wasn't great - a given with high-end flagships - the 1080 Ti was designed to enable a level of performance never seen before and it accomplished just that.Ĭompared to AMD's flagship at the time, the Radeon R9 Fury X, the GTX 1080 Ti was an incredible 60% faster at 4K and up to 30% faster than the original GTX 1080. Today we're taking a look back at the mighty GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, the previous-gen Nvidia flagship that has become somewhat of an iconic GPU, and for good reason.
