NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I sold mine on Facebook market place, last weekend MSI 2080ti for £800 cash . The buyer was local and keen, I could not believe it.
Been expecting him to knock round and try and return it. If he waited till Monday he would have got one for considerably less. Talk about a right time to sell. I'm absolutely ecstatic.
Have you got a backup graphics card ?what if you cant get a new card straight away and its months before you can get a new one?
 
Anybody selling their 2080 ti's now im thinking about it but im worried that if i do and as i expect stock to be really limited it will be months before i get one of the new cards and maybe it will be best to hold onto it until i get one of the new cards in my hand i still won't get much more selling now anyway maybe 50 to 100 pounds.

I did something similar, slapped in the old GTX 580. I'm not in a rush personally, but would like if I could get my 3090 on launch day. I'd be happy having it for Cyberpunk.
 
I hope the 3080 has a lot of overclocking headroom because the 2080ti takes no prisoners - cut Nvidias official cherry picked 40fps gap down to just 10fps - there are even parts where the 2080ti has higher fps than the 3080.

This is why we should be waiting for 3rd party benchmarks and not Nvidias absolute ridiculous best case cherry picked numbers that generally won't reflect reality for a lot of people.

Hardware unboxed was right to throw a mountain of salt on Nvidias official numbers when they told people do not buy anything until we give you our numbers. Now I'm thinking I sold my 2080ti too early or maybe should have just kept it.

if anything these new cards are clocked quite conservatively. Probably because of how power hungry they already are. I bet there is a lot of headroom.

Is this you Grim?
 
I don't over clock my cards they are fast enough tbh.

That's a highly overclocked 2080 Ti. From 1545 MHz to 2100 MHz on the GPU (+30%!) and the VRAM is overclocked from 1750 MHz to 1825 MHz. And it's water-cooled. Overclocking is never guaranteed.
 
Now that the prices on the 30 series have been revealed to be better than expected, it would take a bargain price to tempt me on a second hand 10 or 20 series card. Something tells me people are going to expect too much money for them though.

Was the same thing last time around. People wanted £300 for a second hand 980ti, so I just bought a 1070 for £400.
There are a lot of people who will buy a 2+ year old card for £50 less than brand new - I'm really not sure why. eBay is notorious for people paying well over what I'd consider a bargain 2nd hand price.

I only buy and sell on the MM here to avoid the nutters :)

Not to sound too annoying but most definitely you sold your 2080ti too early.

This whole NVIDIA launch has really downplayed an disrespected the 2080ti. I have no doubt that the 2080ti is now not as bad as we all think it is just based on a 2080 vs 3080 comparison on a handful of games.
