The latest and cutting-edge Nvidia graphics card. First, the price of RTX 2080 Ti is 1,200 dollars. It's a fair spec laptop you can easily purchase it, even the desktop is reachable by the desktop. For PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One, you can get 2 units at once!

Graphics cards only perform graphics card functions, but a 1,200 dollars gadget can enjoy a variety of functions. I think that some people buy gadgets and buy graphics cards...

In fact, a comparison between RTX 2080 Ti of 1,200 dollars and RTX 2080 of 800 dollars.

Well, RTX 2080 Ti is excellent hardware. Even if it says that the future of the GPU, it will not be overstated. However, it is too advanced, its performance is clear and we do not know with an ordinary computer.

RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 are Nvidia's first consumer graphics card. Its architecture consists of the new generation GPU "Turing". And the beauty of noteworthy Turing is its powerfulness to cope with artificial intelligence.

It is said artificial intelligence (AI), it is used to predict the movement of gameplay. The Turing architecture is for doing ray tracing in real time.

Ray tracing is one of the rendering technologies that creates image simulation by following the trajectory of virtual ray generated by a computer. If this ray is obstructed, distortion will occur in the ray even if it is a transparent object. In the virtual world such as games, it seems to be easier to receive the reflection of light than the real world.

In recent games, flames that burns are drawn quite real by this technique. But with the current technology, it is not yet a perfect reality. To reproduce even finer reflections, such as the eyes of the protagonist and fluctuations of flames reflected on the window, you must borrow the power of the GPU.

In this 20 series, it in real time. It is a new technology that could not be done in the previous series.

Unfortunately, the ray tracing function of Nvidia's 20 series GPU is not likely to be used for about a month. There is no software for this chip in Windows 10. Windows 10's ray tracing requires DirectX-based component API "DirectX Ray Tracing" and Windows ML. It will be available from Windows 10 update which will be on October 18th. So, even if you purchase it now you can not fully enjoy the features of the GPU. Even if it is updated, there are only a few games currently supporting this ray tracing. According to Nvidia, there are only 11 games, but of course, it will increase in the future.

In any case, both RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 must be powerful GPUs. If you play this, the speed of the game will increase further. Especially in 4K, you will be able to fully demonstrate its real value. 4K itself, full of the latest technology.

With the ability of GPU before Turing, rendering at 4K where 1-second frame rate exceeds 30 fps struggles hard. 30 fps is the frame rate of the level used for movies and television. But in the game, a higher frame rate is required because the action condenses during a single comma. Sunday gamers can be satisfied even at 30 fps. But if you want to play a fighting game full of actions seriously, you want at least 60, 120 or 144 fps.

However, until the update of Windows to which the ray tracing correspondence is added is released. It is still early to make a final judgment. RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti may be powerful, but no one knows its real power yet.
