Monolith’s surprisingly fun Orc-slaying title Middle Earth: Shadow of War, delivers a ton of visual fidelity even at its lower quality settings. So, to maximize the eye-candy on these high-end graphics cards, we used the game’s Ultra quality preset and ran the benchmark routine at a couple of resolutions, topping out at 4K -- or, excuse us, 3840x2160 for the sticklers out there. All of the game's graphics-related options were enabled, along with Temporal AA and Camera Blur. We should note this is the latest installment in the successful game series and our review of Shadow of War is right here, if you'd like to catch up on the happenings in Middle Earth.

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super finishes a couple of percentage points behind the RTX 2080 here, and outpaces the Radeon VII once again. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is nearly 18% faster than the standard RTX 2060, nearly catches the RTX 2070, and blows past the Radeon RX Vega 64.

The frame and rendering times in Shadow Of War jibe with the average frame rate data and show the new Super-branded cards churning through the workloads quicker than their predecessors.

DirectX 11 Gaming Performance

F1 2019 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals and this latest addition adds support for DirectX 12 as well. We tested the game configured with its Ultra graphics preset, at a couple of resolutions with temporal anti-aliasing enabled.

As we've seen in a number of previous tests already, the new GeForce RTX 2070 Super outruns the Radeon VII in this game as well, thought it can't quite catch its big brother the RTX 2080. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is significantly faster than the original RTX 2060, but ultimately trails the Vega 64.

The frame times in F1 2019 tell the same story, as you would expect. The new Super-branded GeForce are able to churn through the frames at a much faster clip than their predecessors.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
