GeForce RTX 2080 Super Spotted in FF XV Benchmark - 8% faster
The upcoming week you'll see the GeForce RTX 2080 Super being launched. The graphics cards have a notch more shader processors and new faster GDD6 memory. One of the cards already was spotted in the Final Fantasy XV benchmark.
A benchmark result has appeared in the online database of the game. The Final Fantasy XV benchmark database shows a score of 8663. That is about 8% more than what the regular 2080 can achieve, but with a 14% higher result, the 2080 Ti is still always the leading the pack. The GeForce RTX 2080 Super will be priced at 699 USD for the founder edition, that's a hundred bucks cheaper than the original RTX 2080 at launch. Keep an eye out at Guru3D at the 23rd, as we'll have some reviews ready.

Will it be enough this time though? I mean the 5700XT is pretty damn close to a 2070 Super. If a 5800XT is coming later this year or early 2020 you have to wonder what will be the difference between it and a 2080 Super. I know some guys think there's no room for improvement over the 5700XT but it's highly debatable.
Well at least it fills in what is now a pretty decent gap between the 2070S and 2080Ti (remember, the 2080 is being phased-out). On the other hand, who exactly is this catering to? Nvidia has a knack for making products that are more meant to one-up AMD, rather than satisfy a specific market need.

Not sure, but I'm guessing Nvidia has enough industry power and inside information where they can take a chance.
Considering AMD left room for both 800 and 900, I think it's more than likely there's room for improvement. I'm guessing they released the 700 series first since it's the market segment that sells the best. It wouldn't leave that good of an impression if they released slower products, and their drivers aren't mature enough to release the 800-900 models (and therefore would also leave a bad impression). Even with driver immaturity, the 700s performed well enough to get people's attention, so I'd say that strategy worked (assuming I'm right about it).

With a proper size screen, increase in res MORE than makes up for whatever settings you may have to bring down, and again, usually involving settings that hardly make any visual difference at all.
All the ways of increasing visual quality suffer from diminishing returns as you get better and better. You can tell that res is one of those as you have to keep prefixing all your comments with the "proper screen size" - i.e. go huge or it's not worth it.
The single biggest different between a pixar movie and what we have in games is not resolution (they film in 4k, the older films are 2k and that's for a cinema screen - we already have those res on PC) it's lighting.

To be honest, AMD isnt doing anything to improve this state of the GPU market either.
Their gpu pricing is good compared to NVIDIA , but nothing revolutionary like they were in the past.
I wonder how much NV will take for new 30 series GPUs and if they will be on 7nm.
