Oh look how far we have come in a mere ten years (for good or for ill)
9 times the performance for 3 times the price. Hold on that makes the currant cards sound like a bargain, which wasn't the intention at all.

1080ti. Keep it. Brilliant card then and today.
That 295 for 500 odd quid would be like 900 nowfrom slightly earlier in the year.
Takes a while to load.
You, specifically, said that the 2070S is "ahead of" the 1080 Ti "for the most part" now, in response to a post saying the 1080 Ti was faster. You mentioned frame rates in the same post, so it's very clear what you were talking about. Just admit that you were wrong and stop the furious backpeddling and deflection.I was talking about the 2070 super as a whole been ahead of the 1080ti these days.
My 1080Ti will keep me going til I switch to consoles in the next gen.
Who is stadia for?Consoles are for peasants.
PC is for the master race.
Or something to that effect.

I much prefer and will probably use the geforce now one, it let's you play games you already have installed on various platforms and with full rtx, so even on my phone when traveling I can play cyber punk on max everything 4k, sounds good to mePeople who travel 24/7.
There is no way they are a proper replacement for competitive gaming and will be a long time before they are.
Thank you by the wayfrom slightly earlier in the year.

I do. I got a 4870 on release which was the fastest and cost about £200. Back then our pound was very strong though. Was like 2 to 1.I don't remeber that at all

Piscuit-absolutely fantastic, mind if I steal that?I do. I got a 4870 on release which was the fastest and cost about £200. Back then our pound was very strong though. Was like 2 to 1.
That is why I always look at the dollar cost to know if the graphics card prices have increased or not. Nvidia took the piscuit with the 2080 Ti. Lets see what they will do with the 3080 Ti.
Go aheadPiscuit-absolutely fantastic, mind if I steal that?
Its a keeper, made a chuckle myself, good workGo ahead
I spelt it biscuit at first but before hitting post it occurred to me it would sound a lot better and be more apt spelt with a p. Gave myself a little chuckle. Not seen it used online before
I made an account here after a long time of being a lurker/dedicated customer just so you guys can either validate me, or unreservedly call me an idiot.
As I'm moving abroad soon to a place where GPU's are mind-bogglingly marked up, I thought I would upgrade my 1070 to something a bit "more". After way less research than I usually put into PC part components (say, a couple of hours instead of a few weeks of losing sleep), I pulled the trigger on an EVGA FTW3 1080ti for around £400 after selling my 1070 for £200. I specifically chose this card because of its cooler, and the fact that it can only just fit in my Dan Cases A4. I considered the Asus trade in, but none of their cards (apart from the blower) would fit in that case. Also, due to logistics of moving, I am somewhat (but not super) strapped for cash.
Now, as the card is in transit, I'm starting to somewhat regret my decision after more carefully watching videos and reading articles of comparisons with the 5700XT and 2070 Super.
Did I actually make a bad decision on this? I don't know, honestly - it seems to be a little faster at the moment, but I now realise there will be driver updates to newer cards which will maybe push them up and above in the coming years and months.
Looking on eBay, I could probably flip this 1080ti for a little more cash (given there's another £1 selling promotion). However, is it worth the hassle? I don't have much time left before I leave the country so action must be done quick...
Thanks guys, and sorry for being an idiot like this in my first post here.
