Is the Nvidia RTX 2080 SUPER powerful enough for 1440P 144Hz gaming in 2020?

Is the Nvidia RTX 2080 SUPER powerful enough to make the most of high refresh-rate 1440P PC gaming? Today we look at two different scenarios, RTX on and RTX off, to see how the RTX 2080 Super holds up.

Me playing single player: "Alright lets slide those settings all the to the right"
Me playing multiplayer: "Alright lets slide those settings all the to the left"

“High is for gaming, ultra is for screenshots” I just slide my setting all the way to the right

Why do we still bother with csgo in gpu benchmarks lol

I like to set my games on "slide show mode" for best visuals and enough time to get a good look at each frame to appreciate the devs hard work.

Regarding ray tracing, Turing was always going to be a hardware version of a Steam Early Access release on that front. If you want a seriously good ray tracing performer, wait for the next round of GPU's from both teams.

people: you can't get 4k ultra settings ultra ray tracing stable 60 fps even with rtx 2080 ti

me: *cries in gtx950*

"You can always use more power". Well, there we go guys, Jeremy Clarkson arrived to the computer world :D.

people pay so much attention to how Ray Tracing performance sucks but not a word about MSAA. it's a feature that's nearly 20 years old and still able to bring GPUs to their knees when pushed to maximum or 16x. Ray Tracing on the other hand is only 2ish years old and people expect to run it at 4k120+Hz ultra on day 1.

Thats the issue with high presets, they make the frame rate suffer with unnecessary high settings, always best off using custom settings IMO

This is a very niche kinda of video but I’m so happy you made it.

Everyone acting like ray tracing is the whole point of this card. Ray tracing is just a cherry on top. For story games as long as I get 100fps at 1440 I'm fine. For shooters I use my 240hz monitor

[darionmcbroom]

I’m still rocking a 1070 lol. Ray tracing is the last of my concerns

[koalitaDormilona]

It all looks like someone just stuck some "super" stickers on the RTX 2080 🤣

[aionboogie]

I can afford a new gpu right now in the 1k to 1.5k range but im still happy with my RTX 2080 not super. Im playing alot of 2022 racing titles

[pyrophobia]

I'll wait at least 3 generations before jumping into the ray tracing bandwagon

[MrMexy]

most informative quarantine video. cheers

[Ersanven]

I have a 9700k, a 2070 Super and I game at 1080p. I mostly play indie titles and visual novels so I doubt have a reason to upgrade anytime soon. Yes, I know it's overkill but it's for Cyberpunk and Doom. Also Baldur's Gate 3.

[tyre]

the same quality settings argument can be used for ray tracing:
RTX ON for screenshots
RTX OFF for actual gameplay

[nialmurphy]

are you just going to namedrop my boi tech deals like that?!

As someone watching this video from 2022, and as someone who owns a 2070 Super, I'm slightly worse off than someone who owns a 2080 Super. The 3000 series cards weren't the huge jump we hoped for, and since 2020-2022 was filled with an insane gpu market full of crypto whales and scalpers buying every RTX 3000 series card there was, its been a crappy couple years for anyone who wanted a new graphics card or new rig. The RTX 4000 series seems to be a much bigger jump in performance, but Nvidia went insane with the prices, so now high end cards have jumped from $799 for the 2080 Super and 3080 to $1200 for the 4080. Largest jump in price in history, so now, buying any new cards is the same exact thing as buying from scalpers last generation for the RTX 3000 series. Its really unfortunate that Nvidia got so greedy and is now price gouging their own customers. They don't have the crypto crowd to buy their cards anymore.
