Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080: Too much power for a Core i5 PC

This time tomorrow, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 will have finally arrived. There’s been a lot of fanfare around its quite nifty ray-tracing tech, not to mention all the other cool things Nvidia’s Turing cards can do, but is it really the best graphics card of all time? At the moment, it’s hard to say – outside of a couple of demos, there aren’t actually any games that support ray-tracing or Nvidia’s fancy AI-drive DLSS tech yet, so you’ll have to wait a little bit longer before I can give a proper verdict on a) whether these features are actually any good and b) how they affect the card’s performance. Square Enix have yet to patch in the RTX update for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for instance, and Final Fantasy XV is still awaiting its DLSS update.

I’ll be adding some thoughts about those aforementioned demos to this review-in-progress early next week, but today I thought I’d focus on the one thing everyone’s been clamouring to hear about ever since the RTX 2080 was first announced at Gamescom. How fast is it, how much better is it than the GTX 1080, and is it really worth spending  £715 / $750 on?
