I don't think anything because we haven't seen any official or reliable third party figures yet for ray tracing.
I can understand NVIDIA not giving official figures because the games featured using RT had it for about 2 weeks, and games need to be constructed right to make best use of RT. The RT games aren't even finished regardless of RT. There definitely will be improvement before the first patch in of RT in Tomb Raider, perhaps there will be little improvement - but we simply don't know for sure.

I agree. No way would Nvidia release a new line of cards whose headline feature was DOA.
If it is anything close to proper ray tracing fidelity (and not just used to ver shiny everything) I'd happily drop to 1080p if needed.
I think once people start playing games that use it decently older stuff will look very poor in comparison.

So people have gone from 60hz at 1080p is not enough to 120hz then 144hz then 240hz,then it became 1440p and then 4k. Each time people said 1080p 60hz was rubbish.
Now we are back to 1080p 60hz being fine.LOL. See the people who stuck with their 1080p 60hz monitors were right all along!

Hahahaha
Having watched the latest video from Jim (AdoredTV) all this bent benchmarks by Nvidia aren't that far away from what I wrote days ago.
That until we see real numbers, all the "relative performance" is a pile of poo because are not indicators of absolute performance.
Like all this RTX2080 is twice as fast than the GTX1080, yet if we break down the numbers looks like might be as fast than the GTX1080ti FE, and what seems slower than the factory overclocked 1080Tis.
And lets not forget while Nvidia only sold the GTX1080 10Gbps card, while a lot of manufacturers sold the GTX1080 11Gbps card after March 2017. (using same VRAM with GTX1080Ti)
That card had 352.3 GB/s over the 320GB/s of the 10Gbps one, a hefty 10% more bandwidth out of the box.
In addition the image with the various 4K FPS figures is again unclear of how Nvidia did the testing. And this video explains why.
GTX1080Ti is capable to hit the targets on max settings at 4K....

LOL Gamer's Nexus slammed them hard for it - like I've never seen Stephen burn someone like that before - he is usually pretty diplomatic.
That's the most insane title for an article I've seen, just buy it ? They're having a ray trace if they think they can brainwash people like that.
Got to go to work now but omg! What the actual hell? lol
Even if the 2080 is 1.25 - 1.5 as fast as 1080 (4K60 AA off for a fair comparison) the problem is that since then we've had the 1080TI at around the £700 mark. For people to be happy to pay 700+ now it would need to be 1.25 as fast as a 1080TI with the extra RTX goodies that can stay optional until games catch up.
But 800+ if not 900+ for a 2080? - absolutely crazy - unless mining is showing big gains on the new chips?

Hardware unboxed have a new Q&A video up, speaking of 7nm they think it will come <12 months from now and blow the 2xxx series out the water. I'm also kinda losing interest as there's little game wise coming that I'm interested in to make use of it.
Might just get an Adata sx8200 480gb nvme drive and call it a day til next year.

It's very sad.

Its understandable from a view point of minimising leaks but also needing to get game devs to intergrate the new features in time for launch / reviews. If reviewers can't test the new features then its not going to showcase the product.

There's certainly a lot of back rubs going on in the tech media right now. I wish they'd just all leave it alone like everyone else and wait and see what the cards are really like...
