1080ti vs Gtx 2080.. predictions?

Jeps said:
I think the 2080 will trade blows with the 1080ti making it a poor prospect when it comes to price/performance. The RTX features are nice but i don't think they will be implemented in enough games to make the purchase worthwhile for another year at least.

There's always going to be a premium for brand new tech, that's a given. Plus we're in a situation where Nvidia and the board partners have a ton of Pascal cards sitting around that they want to shift, so that will skew things also. Definitely not a year before the 20xx series actually starts to see some impressive implementation of RTX features though. A year is an absolute age in tech terms, and we'll be hearing about new GPUs by then lol!

It's not as though the 1080Ti is suddenly going to become a junk worthless GPU as of next week though!
 
I think it will be pretty even between them. Having seen a few leakes with cards boosting to 2070mhz i think that's where the 2080 will make up for the shortfall on shaders/rops. I predict anyone with a 2000mhz 1080ti will have a faster card overall as i think these turing cards are going to boost near there maximum straight out of the box. When games start supporting all turings features then i think the 2080 will definitely be faster especially with dlss. Adored hinted that in order for the turing arch to get the 50% boost in shader performance this would need coded for as well which would definitely give the 2080 the edge.

So i think the 2080 might look a bit mediocre to start with especially at the price but it has some killer features that could pull it way ahead of the 1080ti in the future with good game support.

Could be longer or not at all. We will only see support for it in games if there is enough demand for it. There isn't going to be much demand with the 2080 prices as they are. Devs won't waste time on something only 2% of their customers will use.

I'm not saying its going to be a year before we start seeing impressive implementations of RTX tech, just that there won't be enough games that actually do it to make the purchase worth it (at least not for me). Give it a year and we might be there but at that point the 7nm cards will be here which is when the true generational leap is going to hit. Turing kind of reminds me of fermi. Big chips, likely hot and power hungry but will set the groundwork for some truly great GPU's to come.

That's not how it works. 1080Ti owners probably comprise single digit percentage of GPU owners... that doesn't mean devs are ignoring them and not enabling owners of those cards to get max benefit from them. It will be no different with RTX.
 
From all that I'm hearing and have seen so far, 2080 will be ever so slightly faster than 1080 ti, ~5%. Also the 3 GB less of VRAM is worrying for anyone who wants to run at 4k.

You're basically paying a premium for DLSS and RT. And when RT is enabled in those few games that initially support it, it's going to be a slide show. So, to put it bluntly, £150+ for the same performance with features that you'll not want to use on the card.

to be honest this generation RT may be getting all the lime light but it is DLSS which interests me.

But we haven't heard or seen anything, so you've got a sum amount of zero to base that assumption on. We don't know how DDR6 will fair against DDR5, and that's just one aspect. This is all new architecture. At this point, every single discussion on this is pure conjecture and speculation... and far more seasoned and experienced reviewers are saying the same thing. We will just have to wait until next week to find out. Anything said until then is just guesswork.
 
Hi there

We know core count and core megahertz is great for low resolution gaming (1080P)
We know memory bandwidth and memory frequency is great for high resolution gaming (4k)


I would summarise 1080Ti will hold its own, maybe even out perform in 1080P with things being pretty equal at 1440P and the 2080 pulling ahead in 4K, particular with new technologies in use exclusive to RTX range.

We have stock, but there is no driver in public domain available, so we have no data to fall back on, but looking at both cards technology is how I would summarise them above, but its purely guess work.

2080Ti will just wipe the floor with any other card, in any resolution, it will be a new king, simple as that and by quite some distance. As it has more cuda cores, more core megahertz and a whole lot more memory bandwidth and frequency. :)

That pretty much matches my thoughts on the performance of the 2080.

You mean like PhysX and 3D vision? :P
 
It's been done to death now but in DLSS games with RTX I reckon the 2080 could be some 40% faster than the 1080 Ti in some scenario;'s(game/resolution). Sure,in some older games it may be 5%.
The Ti is the best bet but so is the pricing :). Money no object, go with the highest priced card.
Personally unless getting a bargain on Pascal, I'd just go with whatever 20 series card you can justify buying, or just hold out to see if next year brings more cards/better pricing. Maybe the £ will be out of the mess by then too.
In some scenario's the 2070 will probably be on par with the old 80Ti
All, just my opinion of course.

I think you'll be eating your words when DLSS shows its true colours. The potential there is huge, and its significance has been largely buried under all the ray tracing talk. Devs are already piling in behind it.
