Barely worth it using RTX 2070 with a 1440p/60Hz monitor IMHO.
RT shadows Medium + DLSS on + everything else @ultra gives only 45~60 FPS. Set RT shadows any higher than medium (which the lowest setting) and performance caves (low as 22fps in the forest stuttering as hell, so I didn't even finish any benchmark EDIT: but tried several times).
Turn RT shadows and DLSS off + everything else @ultra (+SMAAT2x) gives a steady 60+ FPS. But that is the 'old' situation and looks better than RT shadows at Medium (at a low framerate with lots of hickups anyway).
Only been waiting for 6 months for this hyped patch... too bad
'But it's nice to have options now' :p
Maybe I'll try 1080p later.
Has anyone tried this with a RTX2070 and a proper 1440p G-Sync monitor yet?
I wonder if that would change the experience a bit. But seeing 22fps minimum with RT shadows on ultra, my expectations are quite low...
EDIT: no luck on 1080p either. Flick RT shadows on and fps caves to unacceptable levels. But DLSS is not available at 1080p... Thanks NVidia o_O
