GTX 1080 or RTX 2070...which should I choose?

In a year's time possible worst case scenario a £180 cheaper 2070 will be a bit slower/=1080ti but smash it's back doors in on DX12/Vulcan/DLSS.


So in a years time a 2070 will be smashing the back doors in of a 1080ti ?

Maybe is should sell my 1080ti right now and buy a 2070 then ?

I could probably get £550 for the Gigabyte 1080ti with 3 years warranty and then spend £559 on a 2070

worth it?
 
The MSI RTX 2070 Armor is £100 cheaper <£460> and overclocks to just under the MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z which costs £150 more.

you're not too far off

As he'd be getting a new 1440p monitor, he can sell his current monitor, I'm sure he'd get £30 for it :p

You can buy a 32" 1440p freesync monitor AND a graphics card, for the same price as a 2070! Plus you get £150 worth of AAA titles free.

Not saying V64 deal is crap, it's the card to get at that price, great deal but what you said there is tripe, or the monitor is tripe FS or not.

Instead of boasting about how rich you are but greeting about the difference of a tenner, you should have bought a £459 GB 2070 WF elsewhere that (like you quoted me saying) likely will smash a 1080ti back doors in when running DLSS and beat it in DX12/Vulkan.

I'm hoping your lucky though and I'm wrong and they might not gimp it as they were sold in tandem this time, but it's NV they don't really give a ****.

Eh ?
 
I would not replace a GTX 1080Ti at all right now with an RTX card. Been there and done that !. Looking at the RTX failure rates and now how ray tracing is taking a 50% performance hit (50fps at ultra at 1080p on a $1200 card is rip off), and that ray tracing makes the image very noisy like film grain due to the current turing architecture only makes one RT pass (see Gamers Nexus last video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaUP4LucmZM).

Save your money and wait till next generation of Turing that hopefully works and has some real ray tracing performance.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £928.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)

These 2 cheapest Palit and Inno3D RTX 2070 are now £458.99 all RTX cards now bundled with free Battlefield V game worth £54.95 so these RTX 2070 are worth £404.04 after you redeem the game, it is over £100 cheaper than the cheapest Inno3D GTX 1080 in stock at £529.99.

These Black Friday deals with free Battlefield V game are absolutely bargain and a stealer. :)

I been there and done that before with 3dfx Voodoo 1 back in 1996 had lots of fun and wonderful 3D experiences with Tomb Raider, Quake and others, I did not wanted to waited a year or 2 for next generation card to have some real 3D performance. OP probably one of many people like me who don't want to wait till next generation of Turing to play some real ray tracing performance with Battlefield V RIGHT NOW.

The RTX failure rates in UK are really very low, none of UK retailers reported unusually high RTX 2070/2080/2080 Ti failures.

These Gamers Nexus and Digital Foundry videos discovered all Battlefield V ray tracing issues and bugs was probably developed over the last 2 weeks with hundreds of hours worth of 3D renderings, cuts and edits but Eurogamer got very interesting interview with DICE confirmed they fixed all ray tracing issues and bugs by now and also further ray tracing optimisations with huge performance boost that could see RTX 2080 Ti owners finally able to play Battlefield V at 4K 60 fps DXR Ultra with next upcoming patch update.

OCUK got some fantastic Black Friday deals that offer you Palit and Inno3D RTX 2080 Ti for £998.99, it really worth £944.04 after redeem Battlefield V and you can sell your GTX 1080 Ti for around £500 so in the end these Palit and Inno3D RTX 2080 Ti cost you just £444.04 = PROFIT!!! :D

Eh? He’s bought 1080ti so your maths are wrong and posts are inaccurate and spam
