The Division 2: PC graphics performance benchmark review

True. I remember when the 2080 came out, the initial reviews had the 1080ti up in many games. Now, you see the 2080 beat the 1080ti pretty much everywhere.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. The 2080 was always going to gain some more performance with new drivers, there was still some optimisation to do. And I don't blame Nvidia for focusing on the new generation of cards. The 1080ti performs as ever, it doesn't get worse. What we see is the new cards improve.

I'm ok with that, I don't keep my cards longer than 18 months in general.

I don't know what reviews you were looking at. Guru3D's 2080 review the 2080 was faster in ~80% of games at various resolutions (sometimes significantly) - TPU's overall average has the 2080 up by 8%. That's not to say that drivers haven't/won't increase 2080 performance further - just that the 2080 was always on average faster than 1080Ti.

because sly Huang stopped optimizing gtx 1080Ti properly in old games, including dx12 gtx 1080Ti faster 2080
buying cards nvidia you get a subscription for 2 years for your money and optimize drivers

The person you're quoting is saying Vega VII is same/faster in D2 and you're saying its because Nvidia stops optimizing drivers in old games. D2 is brand new game. Vega VII was ~5% slower at launch (average) than a 1080Ti. Is it really so hard to believe that Division 2, optimized by AMD, manages to recoup that 5% loss? not that Nvidia is purposely gimping it's older cards?

Why do people immediately rush to conspiracy?

Finally a game that makes me want to upgrade my very aging 3570k, getting subpar performance with my GPU compared to this article.

Looking forward to the Ryzen 3000 series, then I will finally upgrade

I'm getting 75fps in the benchmark at 1080p@ultra.

But have seen in tests that this game loves more cores, so could be that your 8 core really makes the difference

But this is the first game I have tested that you really see that my cpu in not up to par, in other games the difference isn't that big.

When the system isn't gpubound, there is more difference in performance between cpu's :

The game is allso more cpubound ingame vs the "static" benchmark.
