Today Qualcomm announces it has begun to sampling of its next generation Snapdragon SoC. The announcement is unusual as in the past we’ve never really had sampling announcements. Usually new silicon samples start around 4-6 months before commercial device availability.
Recently, Huawei had let it slip in an official press release that the new Kirin 980 in the upcoming Mate 20 will be manufactured on a 7nm process node. Today’s announcement from Qualcomm seems to be a “me too!” shout-out response ahead of competitor's announcements over the next few weeks.
The next-generation Snapdragon SoC will be manufactured on TSMC’s 7FF process node, bringing with it the associated performance and power benefits over current generation silicon. The new SoC can be paired with Qualcomm’s X50 modem in order to enable the first generation 5G smartphones next year.
Qualcomm discloses we’ll see the full details of the next-generation flagship SoC and platform in the fourth quarter. Overall the only surprise in today’s news is the fact that Qualcomm is willing to talk about sampling timelines; the timing itself doesn’t seem different to what has happened in prior years, and we’ll still quite a few months away from the first commercial devices, most likely to happen in 1Q19.

Concluding their Gamescom festivities for their newly-introduced GeForce RTX 20-series, NVIDIA has revealed a bit more about the hardware, its features, and its expected performance this evening. Tonight NVIDIA is announcing the new Ansel RTX features in GeForce Experience, as well as some game performance metrics for the GeForce RTX 2080 up against the GeForce GTX 1080. After recent hands-on demos featuring real-time raytracing, NVIDIA is offering some numbers for out-of-the-box and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) performance in traditionally rendered games.

NVIDIA RTX Support for Games As of August 20, 2018
Game	Real-Time Raytracing	Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS)
Ark: Survival Evolved	-	Yes
Assetto Corsa Competizione	Yes	-
Atomic Heart	Yes
Battlefield V	Yes	-
Control	Yes	-
Dauntless	-	Yes
Enlisted	Yes	-
Final Fantasy XV	-	Yes
Fractured Lands	-	Yes
Hitman 2	-	Yes
Islands of Nyne	-	Yes
Justice	Yes
JX3	Yes
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries	Yes
Metro Exodus	Yes	-
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds	-	Yes
ProjectDH	Yes	-
Remnant: From the Ashes	-	Yes
Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass	-	Yes
Shadow of the Tomb Raider	Yes	-
The Forge Arena	-	Yes
We Happy Few	-	Yes

Starting with NVIDIA’s DLSS – and real-time raytracing for that matter – we already know of the supported games list. What they are disclosing today are some face-value 4K performance comparisons and results. For DLSS, for now we can only say that it uses tensor core-accelerated neural network inferencing to generate what NVIDIA is saying will be high-quality super sampling-like anti aliasing. Though for further technical information, this is a project NVIDIA has been working on for a while, and they have published some blogs and papers with some more information on some of the processes used. At any rate, the provided metrics are sparse on settings or details, and notably measurements include several games rendered in HDR (though HDR shouldn't have a performance impact).

Otherwise, NVIDIA presented a non-interactive Epic Infiltrator 4K demo that was later displayed on the floor, comparing Temporal Anti Aliasing (TAA) to DLSS, where the latter provided on-average near-identical-or-better image quality but at a lower performance cost. In this case, directly improving framerates. To be perfectly honest, I spent the entire floor time talking with NVIDIA engineers and driver/software developers, so I have no pictures of the floor demo (not that anything less than a direct screenshot will really do it justice). Ultimately, the matter of DLSS is somewhat nuanced and there isn’t much we can add at the moment.

Overall, the idea is that even in traditionally rasterized games without DLSS, the GeForce RTX 2080 brings around 50% higher performance than the GeForce GTX 1080 under 4K HDR 60Hz conditions. Because this excludes real-time raytracing or DLSS, this would be tantamount to ‘out of the box’ performance. Though there were no graphics settings or driver details to go with these disclosed framerates, so I'm not sure I'd suggest reading into these numbers and bar charts one way or another.
Lastly, NVIDIA announced several new features, filters, and supported games for GeForce Experience’s Ansel screenshot feature. Relating to GeForce RTX, one of the features is Ansel RT for supported ray-traced games, where a screenshot can be taken with a very high number of rays, unsuitable for real-time but not an issue for static image rendering.

Ansel RTX also leverages a similar concept to the tensor core accelerated DLSS with ‘AI Up-Res’ super resolution, which also works for games not integrated with Ansel SDK.

In terms of the GeForce RTX performance, this is more-or-less a teaser of things to come. But as always with unreleased hardware, judgement should be reserved until objective measurements and further details. We will have much more to say when the time comes.

Following NVIDIA’s announcement of its latest GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs on Monday, its board partners also introduced their custom-built offerings based on the new processors. As is usually the case, the first wave of products do not feature extreme frequencies or highly-custom designs – and indeed many of them look like they'll be using NVIDIA's reference PCB – but they still offer various customizations and cooling changes relative to NVIDA's own "reference" Founders Ediiton card. Today we are taking a look on these cards and briefly compare their characteristics.
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 20-series lineup will initially consist of three models: the RTX 2080 Ti based on the TU102 GPU as well as the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2080 powered by the TU104 processor. The flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU features 4352 CUDA cores, a 352-bit memory bus, and carries 11 GB of GDDR6 memory. Meanwhile, the GeForce RTX 2070 and 2080 boards have 2304 and 2944 cores (respectively), a 256-bit memory bus, and carry 8 GB of GDDR6.
Makers of graphics cards cannot activate any additional CUDA cores, but what they can do is increase default and boost frequencies of GPUs, or install high-performance cooling systems, thus altering and improving performance of their products compared to reference video cards designed by NVIDIA. Without further ado, let’s jump right to custom-designed graphics cards based on the TU102 and TU104 GPUs.
Custom GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Graphics Cards

NVIDIA’s reference PCB for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which is being used in their own factory overclocked Founders Edition card, feature a 13-phase VRM and a double-wide dual-fan cooler. The chip developer's Founder’s Edition will ship with the GPU clocked at 1350/1635 MHz (base/boost), but for its partners NVIDIA recommends maximum burst frequency of up to 1545 MHz. In a bid to differentiate themselves from NVIDIA's own design (while ideally fetching a similar price), they'll be implementing their own factory overclocks along with different (and usually larger) coolers..

When it comes to power delivery, only EVGA has confirmed that its TU102-based GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra cards will feature a custom PCB, in this case implementing a 19-phase (16+3?) VRM. And while it is logical to expect at least some board partners to also do the same, for the moment only EVGA is claiming to do so. For more details, please see comparison of the cards in a table below.

Moving on to cooling systems. ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Palit, and ZOTAC all plan to offer triple-wide GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards with massive heatsinks and three cooling fans. Meaning all of these designs should offer very high cooling potentials. In the meantime, Colorful, GIGABYTE, Inno3D, KFA2/Galax, MSI, and PNY will offer slimmer RTX 2080 Ti products with similar triple fan coolers, which typically means good performance amid moderate noise levels.

So far, only Inno3D and MSI have announced a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti board with a hybrid cooler, but expect makers of custom liquid cooling systems to offer specialized waterblocks for cards made by various AIB producers.
It is important that all manufacturers of graphics cards plan to offer ‘inexpensive’ versions of their GeForce RTX 2080 Ti products, often with simplistic blower cooling systems. Ideally these products will hit the streets at NVIDIA's official MSRPs, however given early demand the fact that launch cards frequently sell out, we're not seriously expecting to see cards at MSRP in September.

Speaking of clocks, it is noteworthy that all of the AIB makers that have disclosed base and boost frequencies of their GeForce RTX 2080 Ti cards decided to stick to clocks of Founder’s Edition cards. It is unclear whether this is a precaution on board partners' part, or a requirement of NVIDIA. However, if all AIB producers stick to this strategy, at least initially there will be no custom adapters that will offer higher performance than NVIDIA’s FE boards.

Custom GeForce RTX 2080 Graphics Cards

Next up are graphics cards based on NVIDIA’s TU104 GPUs — the GeForce RTX 2070 and the GeForce RTX 2080. With the 2080 shipping on September 20th, all of NVIDIA’s allies have introduced their RTX 2080 boards. By comparison, only a handful of designs for the 2070, which ships in October, have been shown off. So we likely won't see the bulk of those until much closer to when they ship.

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2080 Founder’s Edition cards are outfitted with a 10-phase VRM and are clocked at 1515/1800 MHz (base/boost). In fact, NVIDIA’s own RTX 2070 cards also use the same power delivery circuity, so it looks like the GPU designer is fond of that VRM configuration for its TU104 chip.

Again, so far only EVGA has announced two GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards featuring a 14-phase PWM. Other makers may also offer cards with an enhanced VRM setup, but they remain quiet about this fact right now.
As for massive cooling systems, ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, and Palit intend to offer triple-wide GeForce RTX 2080s with three fans. And Colorful, GIGABYTE, Inno3D, KFA2/Galax, MSI, PNY, and ZOTAC will offer more traditional two-wide 2080s with triple-fan coolers.

MSI plans to release an RTX 2080 card with hybrid cooling, but expect makers of high-end LCS to launch waterblocks for the latest graphics cards too.
Meanwhile, for those who prefer cheaper boards, AIB makers will offer GeForce RTX 2070/2080 products with blower coolers.

When it comes to clocks of custom GeForce RTX 2080 graphics adapters, the situation is identical to the 2080 Ti. None of the board partners have announced cards with any kind of base clock overclock, and meanwhile no one is offering an overclocked boost clock higher than NVIDIA's own Founders Edition cards.

A Preliminary Conclusion

In the coming weeks over a dozen of brands are going to start selling their customized versions of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards. These boards are equipped with enhanced cooling systems, and while the fundamental designs are frequently similar – commonly using two and three fan open air coolers – there's still a surprising amount of room for innovation (or at least variation) in the space. So it'll be interesting to see which designs end up being the strongest out of the gate.
However it's notable that if the board partners ship their cards with their currently published frequencies – and it's worth noting that we have on occasion seen the clocks change on 3rd party cards ahead of their release – then all of these boards will offer similar performance out of box and users will have to rely on overclocking to gain any benefits over NVIDIA's own Founders Edition cards.
