Nvidia RTX2080 doubles GTX1080 in game performance

Submitted by Robbie Pyckhout on Thu, 08/23/2018 - 14:35

At the GeForce Gaming Event 3 days ago, Nvidia announced a new line of graphics cards including the RTX 2080Ti, RTX 2080 and RTX 2070. The graphics cards are based on the new Turing architecture and use RT-cores for 'Ray tracing'. These RT-cores would make it possible use realtime ray tracing in games.

Several games were announced that partly use the RTX technology for rendering shadow and light effects. Among these games were Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus and Battlefield V. Nvidia also introduced 'Tensor Cores' into the new architecture, providing artificial intelligence that'll be used in upscaling and anti-aliasing technics.

Specifications:

Introductieprijs ($)	999 / 1199	699 / 799	499 / 599	699	599 / 699	399/499

The cards will be available on 20 September.

Nvidia made some slides available including a slide with some comparisons between the GTX1080 and RTX2080, according to these slides the RTX2080 seems to be 50 to 100% faster than the GTX1080. Nvidia claims that the RTX2080 is able to play many games in 4K with more than 60fps.

On the slides, the two cards are compared in games like Final Fantasy XV, Hitman II and Shadow of War. Some games support Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), making the RTX2080 even faster. DLSS makes use of the new Tensor Cores that use artificial intelligence to interpolate pixels to achieve a higher framerate.

Humans need music in their lives. Everybody wants a sound system that easily connects, looks stylish and sounds great. Bang & Olufsen is a company that tries to take all these properties and put it into their speakers/sound systems. Their new M3 Multiroom speaker, the little brother of the M5, is a shot to take these qualities and take it to another level. Including connectivity through Apple Airplay, Google Cast and Bluetooth. With an app you can control everything very easy and to make sure you can use multiple speakers there is a coupling feature.

Bluetooth speakers are hot these days, especially when you can easily carry them around to use in places where big speakers would be a hassle. The speaker we're discussing today belongs to the ultra-portable class of bluetooth speakers as it easily fits in your pockets. In this branch of speakers there's a lot that can go wrong with the speaker. Due to their small size, many ultra-portable speakers are limited in volume, warmth, depth and battery life.
