EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING Review: Dialing-In On Performance

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 - Hitman & Ashes Of The Singularity Benchmarks

The latest Hitman title for 2016 once again follows Agent 47, a genetically-enhanced, cold-blooded assassin, who finds himself at the center of new missions scatted about Central Europe. But not before some drama unfolds in an ICA training facility some 20 years before the events of 2012's Hitman: Absolution. We tested the game using its DirectX 12 code path, at multiple resolutions, with all in-game options set to their maximum / Ultra values, with FXAA and 16x anisotropic filtering enabled...

We ran the Ashes benchmark at multiple resolutions with its "Crazy" graphics preset and 4X anti-aliasing enabled to put as heavy a workload as possible on the GPUs.

The Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was -- once again -- the fastest of the bunch in the Ashes benchmark. However, the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 was right there nipping at its heals and in most cases even within the benchmark's margin variance between test runs.
