Looks like you 2000 series owners will soon have a gaming benchmark tool for your fancy high end feature, currently only supported in BF5...

UL Benchmarks reveals 3DMark Port Royal for Ray Tracing

Screenshot

3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first dedicated real-time ray tracing benchmark for gamers. You can use Port Royal to test and compare the real-time ray tracing performance of any graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX Raytracing.
Real-time ray tracing promises to bring new levels of realism to in-game graphics. Port Royal uses DirectX Raytracing to enhance reflections, shadows, and other effects that are difficult to achieve with traditional rendering techniques.
As well as benchmarking performance, 3DMark Port Royal is a realistic and practical example of what to expect from ray tracing in upcoming games—ray tracing effects running in real-time at reasonable frame rates at 2560 × 1440 resolution.

Slated to release January 2019; I'm sure AnandTech will feature it.

^^that tool is proprietary, doesn't use DirectX API and isn't UL listed. In other words, it's essentially a useless 4K only demo.
