cucker tarlson Weird this is coming out only now.

virtually identical

Steevo Something something, users won't notice of we strip a few colors in order to make more FPS, cause eye candy is all about FPS and not about better rendering....

theoneandonlymrk So Nvidias lossy colour compression makes a difference , what a surprise.



I am of the opinion that „The Way it's Meant to be Played“ is optimised more than people are aware of, Hdr and high bit rate RGB limit some of their optimization, until they're optimise that's it.

R0H1T So what happened to the 1080Ti, did computerbase not have one for the review or would the drop off, in performance, have been even more accentuated?

Only thing is,. Not even remotely.Why? The also German sitealso featured such tests on HDR ( Link , in German) – and which impacts on performance would to be expected from using it.The results? They were, at least pattern-wise (nVidia took serious hits while AMD's ones were pretty much negligible). The outcome were literally the very same as the one Computerbase.de comes up with now in '18.The thing just is, nVidia was made aware of such outcomes already back then, they still have yet to bring in any fix driver-wise. It seems it's a architectural problem for them and a rather undesirable side effect of their infamous texture-compression and as such, can't just easily avoidedlosing a good chunk of their performance … and as such, nVidia rather loves to avoid talkingmuch about it.The obvious fact that they haven't fixed it yet since 2016 literally implies it's a architectural problem which can't be solved easily. It's a known phenomenon for a while now and all intellectual games and scenarios being thought through came to the very same result – most likely it's nVidia's texture-compression algorithm which causes this. … which isn't magically fixed overnight using some mighty wonder driver, at leastwithout having a rather huge impact on performance in the first place.Did I mentioned that i loveboomerangs? Their paths areawesomely easy predictable! ♥Computerbase.de is rather known to don't have collective-tests which feature any GTX 1080, and so does many other reviewers too.The reason for this is, that you can calculate the given placing of a Ti by adding (I believe 20%, correct me if I'm wrong here). Anyway, the placing of a Ti is literally calculable if a given test features a GTX 1080 reference card. So, benching a dedicated Ti if you already have the results of a reference-clocked 1080 is just a waste of time, thus, often just skipped (for obvious reasons).
