Title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article IGN got to try Battlefield with ray tracing at Gamescom, and it looked great, but it's unknown at this time how big the performance penalty will be when it's enabled. As of this writing, there are 11 games already committed to adding ray tracing, including an eventual patch for the just released Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and of course, Battlefield 5 in November will have it too. Still, we won’t have to wait terribly long at this point for devs to start adding the feature. Sadly, even though the hardware is out, the software that supports it is not.

Ray tracing provides drastically more realistic lighting and reflections compared to what is possible now, and it's never been possible due to the sheer amount of calculations required to do it, but Nvidia has put dedicated hardware in the RTX cards specifically for this technology. First, there the first GPUs to offer the potential of real-time ray tracing a technology that's long been in the pantheon of pie-in-the-sky graphical technologies.

The era of Pascal has come to end, and while there was certainly plenty to love about the GPU architecture that brought us the GTX 10-series cards, Nvidia’s new Turing architecture promises to do more than just increase frame rates. Zotac RTX 2080 Ti AMP – Design and Features Although partner boards are theoretically supposed to be less expensive than Founder's Edition cards, insane demand has driven prices up, so this board costs the same price a staggering $1,200. Zotac’s take on the 2080 Ti has the potential to surpass Nvidia's version just based on the fact that it has three fans compared to the two-fan design of the Founder's Edition, which should allow for better cooling and overclocking. It's the company's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP edition (See it on Newegg) / ( See it on Amazon UK).

After spending a great deal of time with the Founder’s Editions (FE) of both the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti, I finally got my hands on a Turing GPU that was not made by Nvidia, but rather Zotac.
