The drivers for the NVIDIA RTX cards are now live, and lo and behold within just a few hours the 3D Mark result is out. The apparent RTX card gets a mellow score of 10K.
Official nVidia drivers have not be released yet. So... take this "leaked" stuff with a grain of salt.

According to the team, real-time raytracing can render accurate real-time reflections of dynamic objects, can produce reflections of objects that exist outside the main camera view, can produce accurate, perspective-correct reflections on all surfaces in real-time, and they can make other surfaces (than mirrors) look more realistic too."
