For the folks at home trying to figure out how well their GPUs can run the game in the first place, TechSpot has got you covered with a 38-GPU roundup on 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Apparently, testing wasn’t easy, with accounts being banned in several cases due to an inappropriate number of GPUs or something. The post is a little vague on this intriguing point — intriguing because I’ve never heard of a system being banned from logging in on the basis of hardware configuration changes before, and though it’s been a while, I’ve used both Battlefield 3 and BF4 for benchmarking in the past.

Check TechSpot for the full details, but the 1080p results are below:

I’ve picked 1080p to discuss because this is the resolution for which we have any kind of RTX/ray tracing performance information. In August, reports from Nvidia’s Gamescom RTX launch stated that the RTX 2080 Ti appeared to be working hard to maintain a 60fps target at 1080p. Now we have at least some idea what 1080p performance might look like.

NASA previously said the Ingenuity helicopter would take to the Martian skies over the weekend, but the agency announced late Friday that liftoff was delayed until at least April 14 because of a software issue.
