. Originally pre-ordered the 2080 Ti FE but cancelled that because after Oct not quite sure how much gaming I'll do for a while and the delivery ETA was 24th October. Can more easily justify the 2080 as a replacement for the TXP I had and it won't bother me if it goes unused for a while . Wanted next card to last 4 years and the 2080 Ti would probably be more suitable in that respect but the 2080 keeps options open a little, ie, if next gen takes a big jump in RTX performance then could upgrade again.Posting in another thread I convinced myself of a 2080 being the right choice for me so have now ordered one
Also means the 1070 Ti can be moved over to the spare machine which currently has to run a non-native display resolution.
I'm taking some time out at the moment so have plenty of time to spend using it for a while.
2080 Arrived, it is what it is. Wanted to play Horizon 4 at 100+Fps with everything maxed out, I got it.
+120 Core, +700 Memory got me a 11850 GPU score in TimeSpy. I'll leave it at that as it seems stable. Nothing else to say, temps and noise are as good as expected.

I don't think new GPUs are coming THAT soon. They haven't even released the 2070 yet.You'll be worse than second best well within a couple of years though. This whole launch seems rushed to me, like they just had to get these cards out there. Waiting until next year would have seemed more logical, given there are zero games to take advantage of RTX features yet. If they'd bided their time, they could have released alongside several titles next year. So why NOW? I think it might point towards overall strategy and a view to release 7nm/10nm cards next year at some point... it might not be until towards the end of 2019, but still, it feels like they HAD to get the 20xx out now for some reason. At the same time though, they had to know sales would be slow and the 1080Ti stock would have to be cleared out before 20xx could really get a foothold.
So on one hand it almost feels strategic, on the other it's like they're making it up as they go lol! Regardless, the 2080Ti isn't going to be the best for that long, and absolutely nowhere near as long as the 1080Ti held that crown!
I've been deliberating myself between 2080 and 2080Ti... and while the raw power of the Ti is certainly appealing, it IS worse value than the 2080, and there's still huge questions as to whether it's even worth it regards the RTX features. At 4K, if you need an absolute powerhouse and won't settle for less, it's the obvious choice if you can afford it. I do worry within a relatively short period of time though, that its second hand value will plummet as and when new GPUs arrive or are even announced. Overall, I think most people are just better off with a 1080Ti and waiting. They won't be missing much.

Probably not, but I think it will depend on what they're developing behind closed doors and how ray tracing performance pans out. If that performance is as bad as reports suggest, and it's going to barely manage 60FPS at 1080p (with devs unable to squeeze much more out of it), that's going to be somewhat of an embarassment for Nvidia. Especially in face of all that anger from the majority of 2080Ti owners with 1440p/UW/4K monitors than can't enjoy those ray traced experiences. If that's the case, amd if they DO have a more powerful card to put out, we might see it sooner rather than later. Of course, that will be a ridiculous scenario whichever way you slice it... an £1100+ GPU redundant and largely useless for the very thing that it was sold on! Just beyond pathetic if that is the reality we're faced with.
What the hells going on in your case "basement", christmas tree ornament storage?
