[SnO]

The new series of NVIDIA RTX 20 graphics processor units became available this week in the market. Everyone was watching and waiting for this series, especially since it will be the successor to the excellent GTX 10 series, but what is the reviewers' impression of these cards, and are they worth buying?

Nvidia announced earlier about the all-new RTX 20 series of graphics cards, where three cards have been announced so far from this series, and the RTX 2080 Ti is the most powerful one so far in this series, then followed by the RTX 2080 and the last is the RTX2070, and the name was used. This series has a new feature, which is “Ray Tracing Technology”.

Ray Tracing Technology is a method used by graphics engines to calculate the effect of a virtual beam of light on surfaces based on the surrounding environment. These calculations are based on real mathematical and physical equations developed by physicists who have studied the nature of light and radiation. You can find more details about this new technology in this report.

The new graphics cards are able to run the “Ray Tracing Technology” feature in “REAL TIME” and this is what we can say about it as a strong push in the world of games, but this feature is not supported by many games yet, but after the titles that were announced Recently, such as Battlefield 5, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Metro: Exodus provided a vivid example of this feature, which showed a promising future in the world of games.

But there is a problem with this new feature, which is that with the most powerful new cards, the RTX 2080 Ti, its performance decreases until it almost reaches the performance of the GTX 10 series cards, and this represents a disappointment as these new cards did not provide a high jump as the previous series GTX 10 did. .

Also, there are still a lot of games that did not take advantage of the capabilities of these new cards in the required form and image, especially the RTX feature, which may require the developer more time and effort, and also the capabilities to make the game support the new feature, which some see as not that necessary, at least in The current time, while Nvidia did not talk about the performance of these cards with regular games, is far from the RTX technology, which takes time for game developers to get acquainted with.

In the end, the RTX 2080 Ti is a good upgrade over the GTX 1080 Ti, and the same goes for the RTX 2080 over the GTX 1080. But its pricing might force customers to opt for the 1080 Ti, which is why it's disappointing to see the jump in the range. Only 6-10% between GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080, or 25% between GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 Ti, in return for the high price, which reaches 70% higher than the price you will need to buy one of these new cards.

In any case, the decision remains up to the consumer himself, and whether he is willing to pay more money in order to obtain the new generation of Nvidia cards, or he may wait until the next generation, so we may see a greater improvement in performance between the two generations and also support more games for the new RTX technology.
