I mean look at this video at 1:17 https://youtu.be/7IhRyZ2N4H0?t=77 He claims it's showing 1080p FPS and then the overlay fades to 4k, but there's no actual cut/or pause in the gameplay to change the rez when the text claims to.

Click bait. I would take a back seat and just wait for the official date.

The information at the bottom is just an over lay on the video.

There are some reviewers who have the card but are not yet allowed to release too many details Probably the best review shown so far is this one:

The best to do is look at the source of the video. Well known and trusted review websites are not going to put out click bait youtube videos with fake benchmarks and someone who you never have heard of probably didn't get NVIDIA to give them a card early for review.

After reading through the comments I noticed somebody pointed out that Fortnite footage was from two years ago lol, so that alone blows it out of the water

Awesome! And that one of the games he highlights is Borderlands 3. The one game that has single handedly managed to melt my RTX 2080 Super Black into a pool of lava and consistently get terrible FPS, so this was perfect for me.

lol!!! I can't stop laughing. I need to save that one.
Is it just me, or have they turned off the like/dislikes to hide the downvotes on that one? yaggaz

That game made me upgrade my RAM to 32GB.. Having BL3 and Chrome open killed my system. However, I wonder if that was potentially my 1080 bottlenecking VRAM and using system RAM, since that seems to be an issue with 4k.

Are you talking about a Borderlands 3-specific issue?
