NVIDIA: GeForce RTX 2080 up to 40-50 percent faster than GTX 1080

On Monday, NVIDIA announced the long-awaited Turing gaming GPUs but one of the most-heared criticisms was that the firm didn't provide any traditional performance metrics. Lots of attention was given to ray-tracing, but the firm didn't provide apples-to-apples comparisons for how the GeForce RTX line performs versus the previous generation.

At today's technical briefing for reviewers, NVIDIA released a slide that shows the GeForce RTX 2080 is significantly faster than the current GeForce GTX 1080. NVIDIA claims that on average, you can expect 4K performance that's 40 to 50 percent faster.

Furthermore, titles that support the new Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technique can see performance gains of over 100 percent versus Pascal! Impressive claims, but independent reviews will (hopefully soon) tell the true tale.
