The drivers for the NVIDIA RTX cards are now live, and lo and behold within just a few hours the 3D Mark result is out. The apparent RTX card gets a mellow score of 10K.
Official nVidia drivers have not be released yet. So... take this "leaked" stuff with a grain of salt.
Eh it looks alright. Maybe it's just the state of graphics these days and the fact that games are looking better and better but this really failed to "Wow!" me like their previous demos have. Especially after playing games like Uncharted 4 and the like.
I'm sure it'll do well as a consistent benchmark for GPU's, of course, but just graphically? Meh, I was expecting and wanting something a bit more extreme.
This generation needs a new Crysis.
