In what way is it completely different to how many FPS you see on screen?

Thank god I didn’t sell my 2080ti roll on Monday to we see what these cards can do:

Yep even though I have in my head I was pre ordering on Thursday I'm glad benchmarks are coming out Monday.
Hell even retailers are falling for the hype and putting prices up to match lol.
If I was you I would keep that 2080ti after it all boils over it will probably be worth more than people think.

Yes it is in raytracing not rasterization.
Or what I should say is maybe with ray tracing it is but your claim of 40% is being very optimistic indeed, I'd say 20% when the dust settles.
Can't wait for Monday

What's rasterization
I thought that Nvidia had confirmed in a Q&A on Reddit that the cited performance increases were in both rasterization and in raytracing. Has this been proven to be incorrect now?

Rasterization is games without ray tracing or dlss, you only have to look at the rops spec to see there's no improvement, maybe the drop in fab there's a little at best.
drawing shapes and colouring them in, whereas ray tracing is bouncing light around as it actually would (following straight lines, bouncing and reflecting) which most games fake and manage to make look very nice.

I don't believe that for a second just by looking at the rops spec not to mention it's already been tested with a 2080ti.
It's already been proven with doom eternal Nvidia was using a newer opengl API driver and used the old one on the 2080ti lol.
That's marketing scams at it's best.

has any one heard how much faster the 3090 is over the 2080ti ?
Soldato
Most games still don't have RT?
correct - it’s expensive on performance
Nothing other than the 3090 spec is 20% higher than the 3080...so would expect 20% better performance over the 3080.

I got a bad feeling the 2080ti owners who have got rid of there cards for 400-500 are going to regret it and should have waited until monday.
Sorry, but what a load of tosh.
An unlocked 2080ti, despite an architectural change and reduction in fab size? If we're going by that logic then a 1080ti is an unlocked version of my 970
The power draw? Of course it's going to use more power, it's a bigger die for starters and uses GDDR6X memory, which whilst more efficient on a per-bit basis, uses more power as its outright faster than GDDR6.
The performance metrics are all conjecture at this point, no one outside of Nvidia and those under NDA have any idea how well the card will perform. Their quoted figures of performance may well not stand up to heavily overclockers Turing cards, but then the Turing cards that are heavily overclockered are going well beyond the stock power draw in the first place so it's really a moot point.

Review websites have got their 3080's now hence the pictures and previews being seen online but judging by the wording of some they have already benched them and hinted that these cards do the business. Obviously they will still be under a NDA till Monday and be benching like crazy this weekend.
Yep, why i'm holding out for a bit.
However I am tempted to try and get a 3080 at launch. If I do manage to get one then great. If all the hype is true, sell my 2080Ti which still has loads of warranty and keep the 3080. If it is just hype then sell the 3080
I understood when I got my 2080ti I would stand to lose money on it but did get quite a good deal. £825 for hardly used EVGA which I then paid for a 5 year warranty on top of that
Interested to see how the 10GB VRAM holds out at 3440x1440 / 4k.
That said, i'm in no rush to replace my 34" 100hz gysnc monitor so am limited to around 90fps anyway
Why ? 2 year old tech never worth £1k new in the first place.£500 is still too much.
