Not very many developers did that last time, Nvidia was offering increased FP16 throughput. So they went ahead and did it themselves.That's nVidia power and influence here...
I know it's not the same thing but I'll love to see some studios saying "eh, we'll add fp16 support in our games" when Vega cames out...
https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/4404946In the benchmark, the graphics card scored 10,147 points and 10,659 graphics points. The memory was clocked at reference speeds of 7000 MHz (that’s 14,000 MHz effective) and the chip clocked in at 1875 MHz which should be the standard boost clock for Turing TU104 based GPUs. Compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and Titan XP, we see faster performance when comparing at stock and we can definitely expect higher performance with overclocking.
In addition to that, the 3DMark Firestrike graphics score is said to be in the range of 27,000 points which is a good bit higher than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti even when its overclocked.

I noticed that too. Probably some bugs still to be worked out in the drivers.It's interesting to note that some of the drops from HDR to SDR on Pascal cards can reach up to 12% in some titles. And these are official numbers from NVIDIA, why is HDR slower than SDR in the first place? Also HDR YUV422 drops more than HDR RGB444.
NVIDIA says Turing has a native hardware HDR tonemapping as opposed to the software tonemapping in Pascal. This is presumably what's causing the performance drops in HDR.I noticed that too. Probably some bugs still to be worked out in the drivers.
NVIDIA's reviewer guide:
2080Ti is 40% faster than 1080Ti in 12 games @4K SDR. Slightly more than that @4K HDR.
2080 is 10% faster than 1080Ti @4K SDR and slightly more than that @4K HDR.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/3310/geforce-rtx-2060The GeForce RTX 2060 will be a graphics card by NVIDIA. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU116 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12.0. It features 1536 shading units, 128 texture mapping units and 32 ROPs. Also included are 192 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. Also included are 24 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has placed 8,192 MB GDDR6 memory on the card, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1410 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1560 MHz, memory is running at 1750 MHz.
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 draws power from 1x 6-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 120 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI, 3x DisplayPort, 1x USB Type-C. GeForce RTX 2060 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 241 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
Well that's completely unexpected. No one thought they'd bother with RT cores below 2070 given the apparent performance of 2080ti in demo'd games. They're very much going all in on Turing.New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
TU106 is 2070.Believable but then what was the point of TU106?
2070ti?Well that's completely unexpected. No one thought they'd bother with RT cores below 2070 given the apparent performance of 2070ti in demo'd games.
TU106 is 2070.
