Oh yes, you figured we only had founders reviews to show, au contraire my fellow guru, in this review, we'll peek at the Mc Daddy of them all, you know the quarter pounder, the royale with cheese or 'le big mac'. Yes, at launch week MSI is already offering their MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X TRIO. A card with terrific looks, super sweet cooling, and low noise levels. Oh heck, and its factory tweaked pretty sweet as well.

We've already covered a lot of new technology as the Turing architecture of the new GPUs offers a fundament change in the graphics card arena as next to your normal shading engine, NVIDIA has added RT (Raytracing) cores, as well as Tensor (AI), cores onto the new GPUs, and these are active. Is Turing is the start of the next 20 years of gaming graphics? Well, that all depends on the actual adoption rate in the software houses, they guys and girls that develop games and a dozen or so RTX games are in development and a dozen or so announced titles will make use of deep learning DLSS running utilizing the Tensor cores. For the new RTX series, it's mostly about Raytracing though. So welcome to a long row of RTX reviews. We start off with the reference cards and will follow with the AIB cards as for whatever reason NVIDIA figured it to be an okay thing for them to launch everything at once. First a quick recap of what's tested in this article, a bit of architecture and then we'll dive into real-world testing of course. You better grab a drink as these reference articles are prone to be lengthy with all the information we are covering.
