Hey guys,

Im thinking of changing from a 2080 to a 2060super / 2070super.

What im wondering is do i go for the top end 2060 super or a lower end 2070?

What will the performance hit be (apart from the price)?

Whatever you could get from selling the 2080 probably would at most get a 2070S new; whereas the 2060S is just too big of a downgrade, with it being slower than even the 2070.

You might as well keep the card, unless you are desperate for cash (which you would have to go for either a 2060 or 2060S...)

Such a small downgrade isn't worth it. You need to go all the way like I did, from a 1070 Ti to an RX 550 2 GB :p

How would this work? surely the cost of a 2070s would be the same if not more then what you would get for selling your 2080 ?

I just bought a RX570 of a ITX build! Although normally I wouldn't consider anything as lowly for myself I bought it as it was for the wife and a day ago it was only £99! (they are sold out now)
