Is it worth cashing in my 2080ti for a RTX 3080? Use a RTX 2060 in the short term?

WOW , so glad I cashed in my RTX 2080ti early for £900 !!! I will be buying a RTX 3080 !!! thankfully I only have £257.99 in my RTX 2080...
Yes. Sales of the 2070,2080 and 2080ti should pretty much collapse.

Through the floor, in quite a big way, watch the price of the rtx 2080ti flop over the next few weeks, in real terms it is worth waaaay closer to £400 due to the RTX 3070....shocking really.
You did well there

I sold my 1080 ti on announcement day for £350, I think this was fair.
Looking forward to getting a 3080 FE card.
I feel sorry for the 2080 ti crowd though.

Agreed they have been double stung, high initial cost, low resale value... But they do have one selling point against the RTX 3070, that is the 11GB of ram as opposed to the 8GB on the 3070, so that might hold the price up a little.

I do wonder why someone with a 2080 ti is so keen to sell it at such a loss? Surely it is good enough for just about any game so why not just use it for another year or two and get your money’s worth out of it?
Considering 2nd hand 2080ti's were going for just over £400 this morning you got a brilliant sale!
yeah I keep saying that the 3xxx series doesnt make all the old ones right back to the 780ti and beyond incapable of playing games. The 2080ti is still the fastest card out there today and can do 4k at a reasonable rate.
It rarely ever is worth it unless you must have the performance. I usually keep mine as spares and depending on the benchmarks and what i want i then sell or keep.
£600 loss over the course of 2 years for many hours of enjoyment isn't masses and it still is an incredibly powerful card 4k 60hz and 1440p 144hz no problem. Glad i didn't buy mine for £1500 though or i would have been gutted but still it has served me well if i upgrade. Which at the minute i probably wont be unless 3090 ends up being 60-70% faster than 2080Ti.
A lot of people are mocking the 2080Ti. Who then go onto buy a 3090 for £1400 which will be in the same situation within the next few years. Just the way of the GPU market.
Not really, IMO the 2000 series were not great, unless you had a really old card you could have skipped (ie keep on 1000 series like 1070 or 1070Ti or 1080 or 1080Ti) or even a 980Ti depending on your RES and Eye Candy/settings addition (could dial it down).

Well, if they can sell at a similar price to the rtx 3070 due to having more memory, they could in theory add £150 to £200 to the money from the sale and buy a rtx 3080, 40 percent faster and in real terms, still a cheap upgrade.
2080Ti is 40% and above faster than 1080Ti. 1440p that means the difference between 144hz and 100hz. The 2080Ti did very well at 1440p and 4k for me where some games the 1080Ti just couldnt manage a solid 60fps RDR2 being one even on stupid low settings. One reason i'm a bit reluctant to sell just yet.
Probably could have gotten by with a 1080Ti. But i got lucky and sold that for more than i paid at launch. Those funds then went to a 2080Ti.
Will i upgrade from 2080Ti. Likely won't be just yet. Will likely wait for 3080Ti or next gen.
2080Ti at launch had poor RTX and was just ahead of the 1080Ti and Titan Xp (2017) is some games and not in others and beaten in others.
So it took time to mature and now it is EOL already added to the £1200-1500 price.
I am glad I skipped 2000 series but i would have been buying something I really did not like.

2070 matched the 1080Ti and Titan XP who were then soundly beaten by the 2070S. 2080Ti is still 30-40% above that if not more at 4k.
