With this refresh there is still no reason to upgrade to this generation next years shrink will be where it`s at unless Nvidia drop pricing down to more realistic levels.

Absolutely this.

My 1070 still performs better than i expected at 3440x1440 with gsync, but for sure I was looking maybe to upgrade when the 2000 series came out.

Until I saw the prices and poor performance relative to the 1000 series.

And then with the reliability issues on top, no chance I'm buying this round.

Be funny if the 2070S got space invaders

I was thinking the same thing , this is why I've not touched any of the RTX cards

When is the 7nm RTX series expected to debut? Is it almost certain to launch in 2020?

With cyberpunk 2077 being massive with rtx, it might be a very good time to launch the new shiny shiny, especially if it can do more than 1080p 60fps rtx

Wouldn't surprise me, they've had Q2 launches plenty of times before.

Even so I'm in need of an update now so will probably still get a 2070S.

Don’t get this. Admittedly I’ve only got a few RTX enabled games but they all play at 4K/60 with RTX on ultra. :confused:

4K/60 with RTX on ultra? How many 2080Ti cards have you got? No single card can do that.

Probably with DLSS 5 pints mode

Just the one. Clocked at 2100/8000 with frame dips as low as 50 but generally 60fps or thereabouts.

The whole 1080P thing is BS.

Well that goes against every benchmark I have seen. Averages of sub 40 is more the norm for 4K in the reviews.

Battlefield V Ultra DXR 37fps
Metro Exodus RTX Ultra 30fps
Shadow of the Tomb Raider RTX Ultra 39fps

With DLSS i take it. Played Metro on my mates 2080ti and with dlss the frames were good enough. DLSS off was unplayable. Some other effects we don't like were also turned off or as low as they could be but in the main Ultra settings, dlss and RTX Ultra.

You must have DLSS on, which makes it not really 4k because your downsampling, turn DLSS off, and if you can run 4k 60fps RTX on go hit up every you tube tech review or even nvidia themselves as you have the crown

The middle of summer is not the right time for me to buy new hardware anyway. My PC is in a loft conversion and it gets like a sauna up here on hot days.

Plus the 1080 is doing fine. RTX still needs maturity and I really want to see whats what when Cyberpunk launches.

ChrisD. · 6 Jul 2019 at 18:34

Screw it, just ordered a AORUS 2080 Ti Xtreme Waterforce, just hoping the prices don't fall drastically. I know I've paid a premium for the WB, but I really hate taking apart cards to put my own on. Plus I'll get the VAT back, so not that bad.

Anyone want a 1080 Ti with EKWB? I'll be listing it for sale tomorrow.

Yep, DLSS except on SOTTR. That drops a bit below 60 but is perfectly playable without DLSS.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not perfect but it’s nothing like the 1080/60 BS that people have been whining about for months.

EDIT: Actually DLSS only on Metro.

Not sure what has changed but using just one 2080ti on BFV on ultra with RTX at 4k I get a pretty solid 60fps. Once in a while it dips below to 50fps but not often
