At this stage of the game, with the upgrading of the graphics engine and the increase in the fineness of the texture pack, if you want to get a better picture effect, you need to open to a higher screen effect, and further cooperate with the high-resolution display device to watch. After replacing the high-resolution display device, some players found that their graphics card could not turn on the high-resolution height screen effects, and the experience was seriously reduced. At the time node when the new year is about to begin, it is better to come to a high-end flagship graphics card of Sotech - Sotec RTX 3080Ti PGF, which brings a great improvement to the gaming experience. So how strong is the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF? Let's take a look at it with the review.
1、 RTX 3080Ti
The Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC is the flagship graphics card of the RTX 3080Ti, so what is the RTX 3080Ti? What are its features? Let's take a look.
According to NVIDIA, the RTX 3080 Ti is 2 times faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in terms of traditional rasterization and 5 times faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in 3D rendering. In a variety of ray-tracing and rasterized DirectX and Vulkan games, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has 1.5 times better 4K performance than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
The second-generation RT core has 2 times the processing power compared to the first-generation RT core, and supports concurrent ray tracing processing and shading, taking the light tracking performance to the next level.
The third-generation Tensor core supports sparse architectures and more advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS, which can provide huge performance gains for games and support more AI features.
The RTX 3080Ti features the fastest GDDR6X memory available today, with up to 12GB of capacity, giving creators faster rendering and more AI performance. Support for more advanced AI algorithms such as sparse architecture and DLSS can provide huge performance gains for games and support more AI features.
GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards also support NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology, which, together with the NVIDIA G-SYNC display, provides lower latency and better response speeds, helping players capture targets faster, react more quickly, and improve aiming accuracy.
From the specifications released by NVIDIA, the RTX 3080 Ti uses GA102-225 cores, whether it is CUDA cores and frequencies, or the number of optical tracking, Tensor units, and even the bandwidth of video memory, are extremely close to RTX 3090, the biggest difference between the two is that RTX 3080 Ti compared to RTX 3090 halves the video memory capacity to 12G.
2. Sotectez RTX 3080Ti PGF OC appearance and disassembly
The front of the Sotime RTX 3080Ti PGF OC has a very strong sense of power, and under the lines and silver gray and black tones, it appears more angular, and the texture of the flagship product can be seen at a glance.
The front of the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC also features RGB surround lights, which can be performed by the user after the lighting effect is turned on, bringing a more colorful visual effect to the appearance of the graphics card.
The back of the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC is equipped with a high-strength metal backplane, which can improve the support of the graphics card PCB substrate and assist in heat dissipation.
The back panel of the Sotec RTX 3080Ti PGF OC has been added with a faith LOGO lamp, and the stamping and pattern design has been adopted around the light, which further enhances the performance of the appearance.
On the back panel, the Sotech RTX 3080Ti PGF OC also reveals its PowerBoost custom supercapacitor, which has the effect of appearance embellishment on the back panel, and can also provide stronger power supply support for the graphics card to ensure good performance.
The Sotectez RTX 3080Ti PGF OC uses three 8pin power supply slots, which can provide more power inputs for this flagship graphics card with a default power consumption of 400W, bringing more stable and powerful power supply effects.
The output part of the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC provides a combination of three DP1.4a interfaces and an HDMI2.1 interface with four output interfaces, the thickness of the graphics card itself is three slots, and the graphics card bezel adopts a dual-slot design for better compatibility with different chassis.
The tail of the Soté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC has a phantom synchronization interface, which can output the ARGB signal of the graphics card, and the 3P standard interface can be used in series with all the ARGB protocol lighting accessories on the market, and can be controlled by the graphics card.
The Sotime RTX 3080Ti PGF OC uses three 9 cm diameter high-performance cooling fans for heat dissipation, which are equipped with 11 evenly arranged shadow blades, which effectively improve wind pressure and flow, and support intelligent start and stop.
Under the fan, 8 ice vein composite heat pipes are connected in series to form a large area of fins, and the large area of fins brings better heat dissipation. The contact part of the heat pipe and the GPU core is a mirror polishing process contact interface, which can further fit the core and bring about an improvement in heat dissipation.
The Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC is equipped with the Sotec® S.E.P. power supply system with an ultra-luxurious design of 16 (core power supply) + 3 (memory power supply) power phase circuit.
In the middle of the PCB of the Sotec RTX 3080Ti PGF OC is the GA102-225 core from NVIDIA, manufactured by Samsung's 8nm process, and the core is surrounded by Micron's GDDR6X video memory, a total of 12 pieces, a single capacity of 1GB, a total capacity of 12GB. The frequency is 19GHz and the memory bandwidth is 913GB/s.
3. Performance measurement
Through GPU-Z we can see that the frequency of the Sotech RTX 3080Ti PGF OC has increased from the public version of 1665MHz to 1740MHz, and the TDP has also increased from 350W/380W to 400W/450W.
We also built a high-performance test platform to actually test and see the strength of the Sotech RTX 3080Ti PGF OC.
The test platform configuration list is as follows:
In the benchmark test of 3DMrak, the performance of the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC in the DX12 was very small compared to the public version of the RTX 3090, and in the test of the DX11, even with the high frequency of the non-public version, the difference in ray tracing performance was also less than 10%, and the RTX 3080 was pulled away by a segment.
In the non-light chase masterpiece, we tested it through two popular online games plus a 3A stand-alone, the first game is Ubisoft's "Rainbow Six: Siege", which has good support for NVIDIA's DLSS 2.3 technology and NVIDIA Reflex low-latency technology in Vulkan mode, and the game experience has been further improved under the addition of these two technologies.
We can see that even with full effects turned on at 4K resolution and no DLSS on, the Sotec RTX 3080Ti PGF OC can run a high refresh rate of more than 144Hz, bringing a good gaming experience.
In the multiplayer mode of Halo: Infinity, another popular online game that performs quite well on the screen, we tested it through the team brawl mode, and the test results are as follows.
It can be seen that in the face of the 24-person brigade brawl mode, the Sotec RTX 3080Ti PGF OC can also run more than 60 frames at the highest screen setting of 4K resolution, and after further reducing the resolution or special effects, the frame rate can be further improved.
In the AAA stand-alone masterpiece supported by non-light chase, we selected Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Temple of Heroes for testing, and tested it through the in-game BenchMark. With the highest effects enabled at 4K resolution, the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC can also maintain an average frame count of more than 60 frames, and when the resolution is reduced to 2K, the average frame rate of more than 90 frames can be achieved.
For the games supported by ray tracing, we also selected several of them as tests, in this part of the test, we have pulled the picture effect full, and turned on the most high-end ray tracing, these tests are more like an extreme test, in general, the player does not need to open this type of setting, just turn on ray tracing around the mid-range. We also open DLSS technology for comparison during testing.
In the Bright Memory: Infinity benchmark, we pulled the entire frame full, tested it at 2K resolution and 4K resolution, and performed DLSS on-open comparisons of different options. It can be seen that in the case of native 4K resolution and super light tracking, flagship graphics cards like soteceter RTX 3080Ti PGF OC are also unstoppable, and they need to further open DLSS or reduce the resolution to achieve a smooth level.
In Tomb Raider: Shadow, the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC can be set by maintaining 4K resolution plus super light chasing at an average frame level of 60 frames, and we can see that if the resolution is reduced or DLSS is turned on, the Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC will perform better.
Finally, there is another hardware killer "Cyberpunk: 2077", under ray tracing: super picture quality, turn on DLSS - super performance can get a smoother experience at 4K resolution, compared to not turning on DLSS, the frame rate level has been greatly improved, and if the resolution is reduced to 2K, there is a higher improvement effect. Users can also increase the frame rate by lowering the ray tracing settings or image quality by one notch.
From the above multiple tests, we can see that the Sotec RTX 3080Ti PGF OC can maintain the native high frame rate video in the face of 4K high resolution plus a series of special effects, while for some hardware killer level games, the frame rate can be improved by slightly reducing the setting or turning on the DLSS technology, which has a good experience for the game.
summary:
Soté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC as the flagship product in the RTX 3080Ti graphics card, in the face of a variety of 4K resolution popular games have a fairly good performance, performance has almost been the same as the card king RTX3090, and the halved 12GB of video memory is enough to cope with most 4K ultra HD game needs, for high-end players will be a more cost-effective choice.
At the beginning of the new year, if players want to start the high-resolution plus extremely high-effects gaming experience in a more cost-effective way, this Sotecté RTX 3080Ti PGF OC will be a good choice.
