Performance Summary Charts
Performance summary charts & graphs
Here are the summary charts of 36 games and 2 synthetic tests. The highest settings are always chosen and the settings are listed on the chart. The benches were run at 1920×1080, 2560×1440, and at 3840×2160. Nine cards were benchmarked and they are listed in order starting with the most powerful cards on the left to the least powerful on the right.
Most results, except for Futuremark which are synthetic scores, show average framerates and higher is better. Minimum framerates are next to the averages in italics and in a slightly smaller font. A few games benched with OCAT show average framerates as usual but the minimums are frametimes in ms where lower numbers are better, and Civ 6 results are given only in frametimes as ms.

The above chart is what BTR calls its “Big Picture”. The following chart uses the same performance numbers but aligns the performance results a bit differently so that some results may be compared more easily. As always, open the individual images into separate tabs or windows for easier viewing.
It is a blowout and the RTX 2080 Ti wins every game benchmark by a significant margin. The RTX 2080 Ti is the first single-GPU card that is truly suitable for 4K with ultra settings for most games. The RTX 2080 Ti is mostly overkill for 1920×1080 and it exposes some engine framerate caps that were formerly hidden.
The RTX 2080 Ti is roughly one-third faster than the TITAN Xp which in turn is nearly 10% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition. The RTX 2080’s performance slots in-between the TITAN Xp and the GTX 1080 Ti and it could be a good upgrade for a current GTX 1080 owner.
There really isn’t any way to accurately relate percentages of improvement over the last generation to current launch price increases based on performance alone even if you disregard the new RTX features. The RTX 2080 Ti takes the place of the TITAN Xp, but it is also the only reasonable performance upgrade from a GTX 1080 Ti which also complicates creating an overall value picture.
AMD’s fastest card, the overclocked liquid-cooled Vega 64, trades blows with the GTX 1080 but it doesn’t offer any competition for NVIDIA’s four significantly faster cards. And it is interesting to compare the former flagship GTX 980 Ti’s performance from two generations ago which now slots below the GTX 1070 but ahead of the Fury X.
Let’s head for our conclusion.
