there's a new graphics card generation so what makes this one so darn special i mean the hype surrounding it was so huge that even we got caught up in it i mean look how excited this guy is it's infectious but as we all know hype disappoints and absolute hype disappoints absolutely unlike our sponsor glassware glasswire is the tool that shows you which apps are slowing down your connection in real time and it's used by security pros to monitor for malware block bandwidth wasters and detect suspicious activity get 25 off today at the link below you hear that it's rattling weird um while you read over our test platform let me get this off of my chest NVIDIA man you guys really went out of your way to set yourselves up here didn't you like i don't get it spoiler alert you're shipping the fastest graphics card on the market at half the price of the previous king why don't you just leave it there why push your luck with claims like twice as fast as rtx 2080 because it's not now to be very clear it's not like i'm saying you know burns 3080 biggest disappointment ever because right out of the gate at 1440p we're looking at a performance lead over not just the price comparable last gen 2080 but even the 2080 ti and even with rtx disabled i mean this is a freaking awesome leap in raw horsepower overall we saw anywhere from a 20 to 75 uplift over the 2080 with the biggest benefits coming in directx 12 and vulcan titles so then the only reason i'm disappointed at all is because NVIDIA told me to expect double the performance of the 2080 which as it turned out was anywhere from a small embellishment to a fish this big whopper but wait okay because perhaps there's more to this could our lackluster cs go performance numbers hold the key look how CPU-bound this game ends up even at 1440p so let's kick it up a notch to 4k where we're gonna leave out our rx 5700 xt so we can test out dlss NVIDIA's deep learning up sampling technology and ooh is that 41 frames per second in microsoft flight simulator at 4k ultra no less holy sh i mean not only that but the minimum of 34 FPS that is perfectly playable in a game that's more focused on visuals versus fast movement which means that we can definitively say yes it can run flight sim 2020 like damn now in general we're still not seeing that 2x performance bump with results closer to 75 but we're also still outpacing our rtx 2080 ti by anywhere from 10 to 30 percent and at 4k cs go really lets the 3080 flex its big gains in memory bandwidth thanks to its 10 gigs of gddr6x memory that is a very small drop in performance compared to 1440p so alright then while it may not be exactly what NVIDIA promised us the 3080 is still a gaming monster maybe productivity will give us a clearer understanding of what they meant by that whole double the performance thing and yeah okay that's double and well ahead of the rtx 2080 ti in fact in blender the rtx 3080's cuda score is so good that it rivals excuse me scratch that beats the rtx 2080s rtx optimized optics render time like excuse me pardon and don't even get me started on the 3080s optics times i mean this this is game-changing for students and prosumers and even professionals looking to build affordable and powerful 3d rendering stations spec view perf does bring us back down to earth somewhat with performance that's more in line with our gaming numbers which is a bummer but at least it gives us a hint as to where NVIDIA may have been focusing when they came up with that double figure interestingly though team red pulled off a couple of wins here too so while the 3080 tops the charts in most cases it's not all powerful and AMD's big navi announcement next month could extend some of those leads now part of the rationale for choosing a ryzen-based GPU test bench was so that we could test pci express gen 3 versus gen 4 starting with our review of the rx 5700 xt unfortunately we had some issues to exercise so that'll have to wait for another day get subscribed so you don't miss our deeper dive on pci express gen 4. for now let's look at power draw using NVIDIA's pcat tool we captured this data while running spec view perf on our NVIDIA cards here and we can see that the rtx 3080 is sitting roughly 100 watts higher than the rtx 2080 ti impressively hitting a lofty maximum above 350 watts that is a lot of juice ladies and gentlemen and if the trend continues it definitely explains why NVIDIA felt they needed this new 12-pin connector this power draw translates into a significant increase in heat output as you might expect as well but it turns out the new founders edition cooler design is nothing short of incredible in spite of it drawing a hundred watts more our 3080 maintained lower temperatures in a closed chassis than our 2080 ti and boosted to roughly two gigahertz under full load throughout our testing i mean hey it's unconventional you know blowing air up here and sucking air up through there but gosh darn it it works at least for the GPU itself one small detail NVIDIA glossed over in their marketing is that all of this heat has to go somewhere and when we dug a little deeper well by jove we found it as it turns out dumping heat directly into your CPU and RAM makes them run hotter we even made this little graph where you can see system thermals climbing by 10 degrees in a gentle arc across the board indicating that it's not just spec view perf putting a load on these components or we'd be seeing a spiky graph similar to our CPU and GPU temperatures there is good news though when we ran the same test with a founder's edition rtx 2080 ti we actually got even worse results indicating that the more efficient system airflow that NVIDIA boasted about for their cooler actually manages to extend to the rest of the system as well so good job guys and there's more to the story here than performance and power alone NVIDIA has become laser focused on system latency as a way to market their products even going as far as to seed press with the internal tools that they use to measure it and as it turns out that's for good reason now more frames per second does result in smoother animations but since most gamers would probably say 100 FPS looks butter smooth it's clear that this smooth animations benefit has already hit a wall of diminishing returns what doesn't seem to have a limit yet however is the effect of higher frame rates on a gamer's actual performance last year we demonstrated a benefit in competitive play all the way up to 240 hertz in this video featuring shroud mr grimms corey and paul's hardware so then if the reason for this improvement in gaming acumen isn't smoother animations well what is it it's the responsiveness of the system the more often the image updates on screen the less delay a gamer is going to feel between the movement of their mouse and the corresponding crosshair making it easier to track down opponents well NVIDIA reflex which is launching today as well takes this research NVIDIA's done and goes a step further than even the ultra low latency mode that's been enabled in both NVIDIA and AMD's drivers since last year and NVIDIA has worked with developers to improve rendering latency directly in the game itself with a CPU-bound scenario it's not exactly a big deal you're getting a very slight improvement in response time with a bit more consistency we're not sure what that plus boost option is all about but in fortnite anyway it doesn't seem to do much at least at high frame rates other games implementations may be better NVIDIA says that reflex works best in GPU bound loads anyway though and in that scenario latency goes from 90 to 120 milliseconds to around 45 to 80 with reflex enabled that's huge one of the biggest problems with a low frame rate is low responsiveness so the small sacrifice of one to two FPS ends up being a really good trade the best part is that this feature works all the way back to 900 series maxwell gpus great stuff also revolutionary is rtxio which uses the same direct storage technology that microsoft is integrating into the xbox series x and series x to allow the GPU to stream and decompress data directly from an NVMe SSD using the cuda cores from an rtx 2000 series card or newer now we can't test this feature yet because there are no games on the market that support it yet but we would expect gamers to see similar benefits to what sony showed off with their analogous technology with improvements to everything from texture resolution in game to even level design eliminating things like unnecessary elevator rides while the assets load in but wait there's more what we also can't test is the reports that all ampere-based cards support sriov at a hardware level for the uninitiated sriov allows a single GPU to be shared between multiple virtual machines never mind two gamers one GPU with performance like this you could run a whole freaking lan center off a single threadripper 3990x and like four of these i mean this would be a monumental shift from NVIDIA considering that they've locked down g-force and virtual machines since basically forever or at least it would be NVIDIA clarified with us that the reports of their change of heart were sadly overstated and as it turns out just because they can support the feature doesn't mean that it's enabled and sure enough when we fired up our 3080 and Linux it didn't report any sri ov capabilities NVIDIA does say though that the final decision on whether to enable it or not has yet to be made so it is still possible they'll enable it maybe if enough people tweeted them jensen will get the hint wink wink not just please in summary then just like last time we have no way of testing some of the headline features and no time to test others like NVIDIA broadcast which we'll be sure to do a follow-up video on but unlike last time the raw performance and pricing are compelling enough story on their own even if NVIDIA overplayed their hand a little and unlike last time the big feature you know the one that's right in the name the hardware support for real-time ray tracing has had a couple of years to mature with a much longer list of supported games to go along with graphics cards that are now actually powerful enough to turn the feature on without tanking the frame rate to be clear it's still not the kind of thing that i would personally buy a new card over but as far as added bonuses go raytraced minecraft is pretty sweet and if you're looking for a segue to our sponsor
