2070 super or 2080 super

[Chris Hornby]

Hi guys, I've been building systems for years but I'm at a bit of a loose end right now.

I been holding out for the 2080 super which I was hoping OC would get stock of next week. In the meantime I've been looking into the specs of the 2070 super and now I'm questioning which one to get.

Is the performance of the 2080 super compared to the 2070 super worth the extra money?

Hoping you guys can guide me,

Thanks

I want decent frames in high demanding games like Hell Let Loose! I will be paring the card up with my original processor (i7 6700k. I will be upgrading my monitors to 144hz but I am undecided on 1080p or 2k.

I normally keep a card for 2-3 years! Currently using a 970ti! Might be worth me future proofing with the 2080 super

Are you aware Intel are joining the GPU party next year? It could bring a lot of competition and performance increases, fingers crossed.

I did hear a rumour about that! It could go either way, combining a Intel CPU with an Intel GPU could see massive performance increases. On the other hand their first releases could be a bit hit and miss! We won't know for sure until they test!

From all i've read its the worst "super" upgrade of the lot when comparing it to the next tier, so in this case a 2080ti. Which is stupid money.....

I have a 2080 at 1440p 144hz and its decent but its not ludicrous. Although these days i tend to Gsync lock stuff to 60hz or a bit higher if option and just forget about it.

Whats the price difference..... a 2070sup will probably be good enough but a 2080sup will be "better", all you gotta ask yourself is... is the 100 quid really that big a deal at the end of the day?
100-150 quid is a month of being careful on beer or coffee, or whatever your poison is... 1 month. nothing... Buy big!

I've got to agree with you! No point in messing around! If I change my GPU every 2-3 years the 2080 super would be the better option! Like you say....lay off the beer for a month and it's covered!!

I see a few of you writing about RTX faults and failures, what's been going on?

It seems the majority of the fails are with the 2080TI! Makes me kinda nervous purchasing but I'm not hearing of any issues with the Super's as of yet?
