Article The RTX 2080 Ti’s Power Draw with the RTX Cores On versus Off

[happy medium]

"No sweeping generalization can be made from this short evaluation with only two games. Every single game performs differently power-wise. In these two games, RTX is used generally to represent the specialized Turing cores of the RTX 2080 Ti that differentiate it from previous GeForce generations. Battlefield V uses RTX cores for ray tracing and Final Fantasy V uses Tensor cores responsible for DLSS."
