2080 worth it on 1080?

[Teh_Next]

CPU is 2700x on a 470x board and 16GB RAM

Monitor is a 1080p 240hz but I'm thinking of selling it for a 1440.

Would I see much benefit on the current monitor from my 1070 to a RTX 2080 or 2070?

I'd get the monitor before the next GPU. You never know, they may have a 7nm version out soon as the 20 series just feels bad.

 

[Teh_Next]

Are you running a RTX Wrinkly?

Off topic, where about in Scotland are you mate?

 

[Nasher]

Skip this generation of nvidia cards entirely tbh. So many problems.

 

[Teh_Next]

OK thanks.

Going from a GTX 1080 to a 2080 Ti felt underwhelming for the money so I think a 1070 to a 2080 would give you even less. CES is less than a month away, we should hear about new 7nm products there.

 

[Teh_Next]

That's some welcome advice.
I'll wait and see, thanks.

Does the 1070 push 240 fps?

Does the 1070 push 240 fps?

Depends on the game mate.
I limit my frames to 237 on Overwatch for example.

I upgraded recently from a 1080 to a 2080 as the upgrade was essentially free, made a significant improvment at 3440 x 1440

 

[Rofflay]

Define significant? I looked benchmarks and it looks like at most 30%? I run 240hz in Overwatch too but i use DSR to do that at 4K and i get 170fps on a 1080.

30% is complete garbage as an upgrade it is for me unthinkable unless you get 50%. And no amount of Raytracing (useless) or AI (DSR is better) makes that worth £650. We are going to have to wait until next year?

 

[Nasher]

Also spending £100s to gain (at most) 30% when you already have over 100fps is a waste of money. You won't even see a difference.

I'm on 1080 also , I was very itchy to get 2080ti but with decided to skip 20 series.

 

[malachi]

If I still had my 1080 I would also skip the 20 series. Especially at those crazy prices.

 

[sativa]

I am delighted with my recent 2080 purchase, but then, I came from a 980Ti. Skipping each generation is the way to go!

 

[DaveGW]

Stick with 1080p, its a no bullsh*t, performance middle ground. Save your money.

Went from a 1080 to 2080Ti. At 3440x1440, there's not a huge amount of visual difference if you have a gsync monitor, but in VR the 2080Ti easily stomps all over the 1080.

Unfortunately I've been through two lemon 2080Ti's already and now gone back to my 1080s in SLI. I'd say spend your money on a decent 1440 or ultrawide monitor instead - it'll give you far more enjoyment and last a lot longer.
