Game Testing – Far Cry 5, Wolfenstein II, Ashes of the Singularity

Far Cry 5

While the RTX 2080 Ti shows impressive scaling over the GTX 1080 Ti of around 30%, the RTX 2080 is much less impressive and a negligible 2.5% over the 1080 Ti. However, if you compare generationally, the RTX 2080 has a 33% advantage over the GTX 1080.

Overall, the frame times between both generation of NVIDIA GPUs, as well as AMD GPUs, are very stable with Far Cry 5.

GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080Ti Comparisons, Average FPS Comparisons, Far Cry 5 4K
  GTX 1080 GTX 1080 Ti Vega 64 RTX 2080
RTX 2080 + 33% + 2.5% + 23%
RTX 2080 Ti + 71% + 31% + 57% + 28%

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

The RTX 2080 Ti starts to shine in Wolfenstein II, doubling the average frame rate of the GTX 1080, and coming in at 44% higher than the GTX 1080 Ti. The RTX 2080 also sees a healthy advantage of 12% over the GTX 1080 Ti.

As far as frame times are concerned, the GTX 10-series GPUs seem to struggle to keep a consistent frame rate, but the RTX GPUs provide a substantially smoother experience.

GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080Ti Comparisons, Average FPS Comparisons, Wolfenstein II 4K
  GTX 1080 GTX 1080 Ti Vega 64 RTX 2080
RTX 2080 + 56% + 12% + 45%
RTX 2080 Ti + 100% + 44% + 87% + 29%

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation 

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation provides our first look at a game exhibiting the same sort of performance regressions we saw with Unigine Superposition. This time, we see a sizable, 7% deficit in performance comparing the GTX 1080 Ti to the RTX 2080.

Even the RTX 2080 Ti doesn't see a huge performance advantage over the GTX 1080 Ti, limited to a 10% improvement in average frame rate.

GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080Ti Comparisons, Average FPS Comparisons, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation  4K
  GTX 1080 GTX 1080 Ti Vega 64 RTX 2080
RTX 2080 + 19% – 7% + 30%
RTX 2080 Ti + 40% + 10% + 53% + 18%
