NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 Benchmark Review
VRMark and Superposition Benchmark
VRMark is a relatively new benchmark aimed at those that might be thinking about buying an HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift and knowing what hardware will give them the best VR gaming experience. VRMark includes two VR benchmark tests that run on your monitor, no headset required, or on a connected HMD. At the end of each test, you’ll see whether your PC is VR ready, and if not, how far it falls short.
We used the Cyan Room to benchmark our cards as it is a DirectX 12 benchmark. Sitting between the Orange and Blue Rooms, it features a large, complex scene and many eye-catching effects.
Cyan Room shows how using an API with less overhead can help developers deliver impressive VR experiences even on modest PC systems. The target frame rate for the Cyan Room benchmark when running in desktop mode is 109 FPS. The rendering resolution is 2264 1348, which is 1132 1348 per eye.
Benchmark Results: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti smashes it out of the park on this test by achieving a whopping 293 FPS for a score of 13,431 points. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti scored 161.2 FPS with a score of 7,395 points. The goal in this benchmark is to get 109 FPS as that is the number deemed ‘needed’ for VR gaming. On our test system the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 just barely makes the cut if you round up. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and Vega 64 cards both make the cut with respectable scores to the old GeForce GTX cards, but don’t compare to the new GeForce RTX models.
Superposition Benchmark
UNIGINE introduced the Superposition Benchmark in April 2017 and it contains a benchmark based on the UNIGINE 2 Engine that is pretty tough on modern graphics cards.
We ran the Superposition Benchmark performance test with the 1080P Extreme preset.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti scored 8,653 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scored 6,731. Both of these scores easily top the GeForcc GTX 1080 Ti and its score of 5,520 and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 was back at 4,396 points.
Here are the FPS results from the benchmark for those that would like more details. The new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the only card to average over 60 FPS on this 1080p benchmark with the extreme image quality preset.
