It's not because of overclocking, it's because the 1080Ti FE throttles heavily under any sort of load.

Guys (including another poster), if you only buy FE cards and you buy a 1080 Ti and then a 2080 Ti, run them at stock "factory" settings, you get the results as mentioned.
Sure I understand that FE 1080 Ti might throttle and the 2080 is now more of an AIB card in design but they're still FE cards. I personally don't bother with AIB cards and only buy reference/FE cards for example. I OC CPU's (have in the past anyway) but don't bother with GPU's.
I think there are many that will only buy FE cards so a throttling 1080 Ti design is still comparable to a 2080 - the 2080 is an all round improved card and that includes the cooling aspect.
IMO of course.
I owned three FE 10 series cards, a TXP and two 1070 Ti's. I'd only buy FE 20 series card too, personally, hence a 2080 to me can be compared to a blower 10 series - the cooling is part of the now overall improved package.
Also to be fair to the 20 series we would also need to compare the best air cooled AIB 20 series (of any design) with the best air cooled AIB 10 series (of any design).
Of course there are different comparisons that can be done but doesn't mean a FE 1080 TI VS FE 2080 is not a fair one and in this case shows 40% difference in the review for one game

I cancelled my 2080 pre-order... just not feeling it. Might reconsider the Ti later down the line, will see what happens. Left rather unenthused by the whole thing TBH, and rather peed off with the way Nvidia has handled it all as well. Can't say I'm surprised though, with the lack of competition at the top end.
 
I am still going to get a 2080 strictly because I am in need of a card as my last one stopped working. 1080 Ti might be better value, but the price on it has gone up, or rather not gone down enough. I am still disappointed though and as NVIDIA knows we don't have much of an alternative.

Ps4 pro, RDR2 to make things better

Pc gaming and hardware is getting disgusting now.

Agreed. I'm guessing the 2060/2050 will release with equivalent price increases as the 70 and 80 series have, so it'll price even more out of a upgrade.

With Spider-man on PS4 Pro and RDR2 on One X, my PC won't be getting much use for a long while anyway!

Ouch. What GPU were you coming from? I think the 2080 will be the perfect 3440x1440p card as according to tweaktowns benchmarks It gets 100fps at that resolution in most games Ultra settings. The 2080Ti is obviously the ideal card for 4k.

It's certainly not an unfair comparison but what most will point to is the fact that good AIB 1080 Ti's are available for significantly less than an FE 2080, and the price gap widens when looking at a decent AIB 2080.
 
2080 Ti, 30% gains over the 1080 Ti at double the price. Ridiculous. Hope sales are a flop. Can't imagine massive amounts of people rushing to spend £1200 on a GPU when an aftermarket 1080 Ti can be had for £600, even less if 2nd hand.
 
dunno if anyone's noticed but...

the 2080 is 2fps faster than a 1080ti. let's call it even.

the 1070 was 2fps faster than the 980ti.

the 2080 is really a 2070, if we are following the naming scheme.

a 2070 that costs £749. Thats double the price of a 1070.

and the 2080 is double the price of a 1080.



its a bait n switch. its not 30% more perf for 71% more cost, its over 100% more cost!

these prices will never recover from this. the MSRP of the 10 series never fell.

only AMD can change this situation.

But it's the only circus in town and Jensen is the ringmaster. From Gibbo's post about 'hundreds' of sales already (which I don't doubt), Nvidia probably don't have anything to worry about despite all the protestations against the pricing. Nothing is going to change until they have some serious competition to deal with... but I don't see anything on the horizon sadly.

This is different times now. Competition doesn't bring prices down.

Dunno if you noticed but the 2080 is 25fps faster than a 1080Ti in Wolfenstein II

https://www.anandtech.com/show/1334...tx-2080-ti-and-2080-founders-edition-review/9

The 2080 is looking to be a very promising Vulkan card indeed.

If people wanted to play Wolfenstein they probably will have done so already. Paying £1200 to play it at fps that requires a £2000 monitor is kind of ridiculous.

I've always found it a bit crazy that we hold so much value in benchmarks of games that are pretty old or people have already moved on from.

It's impressive figures sure. But the way people try and justify crazy pc hardware pricing is bonkers.

Seems like the point(s) I was trying to highlight completely alluded you :rolleyes:

1. That the FPS difference is mostly more than a measeley 2fps that he tried making out.

2. The RTX cards could be great performers in vulkan games.

P.S nice alt account.
