Also depends on the game for it to be faster then 2080

Yep, it's always the same the drivers/BIOS are immature, users yet to refine tweaking and the reviews show results that seem ambiguous if you hadn't seen previous AMD cards reviewed before. Same ol' same ol'.

At the moment the 2080 has the overall edge ~6% on average ( plus power and heat being quite a significant factor) - but the Radeon cards (if history repeats) have a habit of maturing and given time price drops that eventually brings the cards into their own. For now, the 2080 is the best option for a new build when both are priced the same.

yes, i spotted that when compiling a build - but it was virtually the same as @tamzzy so didn't submit it (i had tomahawk board and a gigabyte card). But, i had dismissed that card in the build due to guarantee criteria?

So assuming an 2700x is going to cost me around 265, should I get a higher end mobo then one in basket above

If you like MSI and pricing then MSI X470 carbon or Strix. If you can Push Aorus 7 or Hero then great..

Pushed as much details as I can with x570 so on thin ice ... :/

If you plan on overclocking (pushing for larger clocks) then the x470 boards would be preferable.

And if I go a 2080 I could end up spending 500 quid a year or so sooner than I if I spent 200 to 300 on a ti now?

Who know? Possibly? Depends on what Nvidia/amd have in the works...
Knowing what we know now, 1080ti was a good bet when it came out...nearly the same performance of a 2080 2 years on ..

willhub · 23 Mar 2019 at 19:33

I almost posted on gibbo's deal on the gtx 2060 Asus with the correct distribution price... £30 cheaper and that's a single unit order.... Lol

LOL - i think they would have done a lucky dip for the amount of weeks you would have been banned.

How's the 1080ti rig for 1050 if I can get him down to say 900?

Seems a good deal genuinely?

If i understand you correctly(?), yes, amazing regardless of motherboard issues. That's cheaper than the actual card, plus you have warranties to sort out issues.

That's a 1080ti not 2080ti. And he's got all warranty hardly used apparentpy

Apologies, beer goggles.

~~For £900, with all warranty certification, that is still an amazing price regardless of troubleshooting. It's whether you're happy/up to the challange of sorting out the issue~~
