Gtx strix 1080ti 11GB new gen RTX equivalent?

Unless the OP games at 4k and/or just fancies an upgrade (and has money burning a hole in his pocket), I would not bother myself. And even then, the only "meaningful" upgrade would be the 2080ti.

The 1080ti is still a reasonable card for 1080/1440p.

If you have not already, consider having a go at over clocking your current car. Nothing lost trying this.

Though as usual, up to an individual as to what they spend their money on :)
 
If you have the itch then, I’d sell your Ti and get a 2080. 1080Ti’s are still going for £600ish and you can get a decent 2080 for between £7-800. Once you have sold the included games they should net you another £50-60 so it will be £100 for the upgrade.

You will then have new warranty, new tech + cooler/card design, RTX etc and dlss will add a chunk when it appears shortly.

As well as being the current gen it will generally be most focused on and optimised for new titles.

A 2080Ti is more of a meaningful upgrade as most have said but not everyone wants/has the reasoning and cash to justify one.
 
Yeah sell a 1080ti for the equivalent card :rolleyes: (as asked) and get to play one game which arguably takes advantage of its only selling point.
It would be a better arguement if you wanted the 2080 because of certain games its needed for but thats not been a worthy reason for years.
Would be better off waiting to see what Radeon 7 does.
 
Thanks for the advice all. In fairness, 850 on a gfx card doesn't seem bonkers to me but then money is a very relative entity. Does sound like the ti is the one to go for.
 
PC components are all about money. If cost wasn’t a factor we’d all be running a 2080ti and whatever flavour intel chip people wanted. AMD simply wouldn’t exist.

But it is a factor and I for one don’t care what people choose to spend their money on, it is absolutely a relative entity.
 
The people on this forum helped me spec my pc last year after 10 yrs out of the game so I value the advice given. I'm pretty sure I spent nearly 4k after buying some bonkers ultrawide monitor for a k, but as said, it's all relative and only digits on a display somewhere.
 
Sidegrade IMO I wouldn't bother.
Turn ray tracing on and tank your FPS leaving you worse performance than the 1080Ti in the first place.

I think the extra 3Gv VRAM is a moot point, by the time a game filled beyond 8Gb in textures you will be held back by the GPU core. So having 8Gb on the RTX 2080 is fine.
 
To show how little I know, I didn't even know I could overclock the GPU. A reply on here pointed me at that and now I've found Asus gpu tweak. Apparently my strix Rog has been slower than it should be from new so just looking at you tweak now.

I am pretty clueless about these things ;)

However if you think about £850 could get you a half decent 1080p gaming PC or a low end gaming laptop or two Xbox One X's in reality its about twice as much as it should be. I remember when top end meant £450 and £850 on a 2080 is not even a top end GPU.

That’s why you have to be careful listening to people on the internet about upgrades...

2080 pointless card if you already have a 1080ti...by the time the so called features are freely out in games, if ever, then the 2080 will be dead tech...

Why throw £100 quid Nvidia way , when there is zero point in doing so..

One of those Urban myths as far as I'm aware (at least them doing it on purpose). It's just so easy for tech review sites to spot this sort of thing and go ape crazy about it.
PS. Don't need any links to articles re this. As I've read them all.

Lol yeah dont trust this kind of propaganda. They don't gimp anything - just don't optimise anymore. 2080 maybe 10% better than the old fe edition but its on par with any decent aib.
This is 2080 buyers remorse chat.

Well it’s the same thing. Gimping or no longer optimising. I have No wish to discuss semantics but the end result is very similar and borne out by the 980ti vs 1070.
 
Yeah , new gen comes out then all of a sudden the last gen can’t play games anymore...:rolleyes:

I rocked a GTX 780 for ages at it did well even at 3440 x 1440p resolution.

The 980ti is still pushing pixels well and my 1080ti will be for a long time to come.

Can only speak for myself.

I had a rock solid OC on my old 780Ti and was mainly playing Far Cry 4 at the time.

I upgraded to the latest driver when Pascal was released and my OC became unstable.

Regressed to the prior driver and it was OK again.

Every driver after was the same.

Coincidence?

Maybe, maybe not.
