Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review

You're on the wrong site to be making such out of touch demands, you're better checking out Gamers Nexus for that type of analysis, lol

I was asking a question, not making a demand.

Other sites seem to do a good job at making time graphs readable so don't really see that part as an issue.

Genuine question: do you have an example I could look at?

I have to disagree with the statement that average fps are just as useful as frame time graphs. Intermitten spikes in frame delivery are going to be obfuscated by avg FPS measurement. Meanwhile on a frame time graph they will be visible for anyone to see.

Frame time testing proved/showed that though multi-GPU setups had high avg FPS numbers, sure, but they were also having serious frame time delivery problems causing "hitches" or jumps during gameplay. Can't show such problems using only avg FPS.

Fps spikes can be symptoms of a number things, not least of which are system based, rather just driver or architecture related problems. Certainly they're very useful at analysing specific aspects, such as multi-GPU setups that you refer to, so I have no issue with frame time graphs being used for a deeper, more individual analysis of one product.

But using them to compare multiple products across multiple benchmarks, it is going to get very busy on the webpage displaying the results, and I'm just not convinced that the typical consumer is going to take anything from them.

Only using mean fps should never be done, anyway; a single statistic tells you nothing about the distribution of the data, and at the very least, averages should always be given with another value. Intermittent frame rate spikes can be picked up using a suitable dispersion, although 1% lows probably won't show them (whereas something like 0.1% would do).

So much for sarcasm

Actually there is not much point comparing the 2080 Super to the 2080, as it will be obsolete soon.

Instead you should concentrate to how it's going to position itself between the 2070 Super and 2080 Ti.

Otherwise great article, thanks.

Very few, if any, people care about playing Fortnite in 4K. That doesn’t get you victory royales against 1080p 240hz users. Test Fortnite 1080p, epic view distance, everything else low. That’s what people use. Or copy Ninja and put textures on epic as well. Kids copy ninja. No one uses max settings

Fortnite at 1080p with low settings won't provide any kind of a workload for GeForce 2080 Super or pretty much any competing graphics card - the results wouldn't tell you very much.
