Looking at the raw performance of these Turing architecture cards there is no doubt that NVIDIA has built the performance curves to absolutely crush the competition. When you see performance results on the order of 30% to 40% or better than the previous generation you know that a new standard of performance has been set. In each and every game the performance of the RTX 2080 Ti Rounders Edition and RTX 2080 Founders Edition just keep pushing the envelope. There is not a game in my test suite that was not playable at 4K. Overclocking the cards just pushes the performance envelope even higher. The new tuning tools in EVGA's Precision X1 application enable the novice overclocker to get a respectable performance increase by pushing one radio button on the screen. The application does the rest for you. Just don't forget to apply the settings. Part of what drives this performance increase is the all new full length vapor chamber based cooling solution. By switching from a radial fan to a pair of 100mm axial fans cooling performance improves by 10 degrees over the Pascal based GTX 1080 Ti FE and GTX 1080 FE without a noise penalty. NVIDIA borrowed a page out of their board partners tool box with this redesign.. If it works why fight it. When you see the on die transistor count increase by 2x plus you have to keep the silicon cool. That the cooling solution does.
