ive been thinking the same thing for a couple of weeks now,
ive got a super that no one makes a waterblock for so was gonna take the opportunity to upgrade to a ti but finding it hard to justify a grand plus on a new card and water block when my super plays games fine @1440p and ive got no intention to go 4k anytime soon.
just hope someone can convince me either way lol

I have a 1070 and have been thinking about an upgrade to get more frames at 1440p. I think I am going to wait until the next generation of cards comes out though. The skip in price from a 2070 to a 2070 super alone makes the 2070 super not worth it. But I would in fact still be thinkin g of either a super or a 2080.
If you can afford a 2080ti then do so by all means but IMO they're not worth the extra over a 2080 Super. I'm not even sure a 2080 Super is worth the cash either tbh. Unless you're absolutely desperate wait and see what big Navi offers in the next few months. Even if its not 2080ti beating if it even gets close to matching it for cheaper then it should bring prices down.
2080Ti is 16% faster overall at 4k. Which is the only resolution you should be thinking about if you are looking at a 2080Ti. For everything else the 2080 Super and 2070 Super are more than good enough.
So unless you have cash to burn then just get one of the others.
IMO, the only two Turing cards you should consider buying at the high end are the 2070 Super or the 2080Ti.
Really no point buying a 2070 if I am running a 1080. I'll just wait for next gen.
The Ti has never been great value for money. However it is still an extremely fast card. Even over the 2080S with a core and memory OC you can get around 20-30%. A memory OC on the Ti will get you over 10% alone. Around 40-50% over a 2070S at 4k.
However you are talking over twice the price. At this point with new cards coming very soon. It’s better to wait. 2070S/5700XT are still good buys. But new cards will be faster and likely far cheaper.

The 2070 Super is a significant upgrade from the 1080. Especially if you are into VR. And there is the other tech like Ray Tracing and DLSS.
With the new cards looking like they are going be delayed until 2021 and prices set to increase in the near future, the 2070 super is relatively cheap upgrade when you include the sale of your 1080.
I am pretty confident you would be very happy with the switch.
when I went to 3440x1440p Ultrawide my 1080 was only just coping. Apex Legends would hover anything from 55FPS at the beginning when looking across the whole map to a frame capped 100FPS but then struggled in particle heavy firefights or long range engagements. Division 2 really struggled to hit above 60FPS consistently as well. No such issues now I’ve upgraded to a 2070Super. I’d recommend it.
Yeah I would say the same. I swapped out a Titan XP for a 2070 and have no regrets. I've lost some raw performance but the new features made up for that.
dont belive everything Gibbo tells you lol. After this Corona mess is over and a significant proportion of the world are unemployed there will be lower demand for gaming GPU's. Lower demand leads to lower prices.
That’s medium to long term. In the near future, the next two to three months I expect stock shortages to drive the price up.
What I said has nothing got to do with Gibbo. Are you daft? Look at what's happening in the world.
Yes I agree.
I don't think of it in terms of average performance when upgrading, but rather thresholds. What do I need to run, eg RDR2 at my preferred settings at 4K and get 45+ fps? What do I need in order to run Witcher 3 modded @ 5K 60 fps? etc
I always upgraded in order to hit a real target and never just to get "more performance". 480 was for DXMD, then Vega for AC Od 4K. Next one's Cyberpunk 2077 for sure but we'll see how that looks & what it takes.

Everything above the 2070 Super you get diminishing returns in terms of price/performance.
The 2070 Super is probably one of the best performance to price ratio cards going at the top end, especially when you can get one for around £470-£480.
I think they seem way overpriced compared to the 5700xt that are 300-350 and come with the new game bundle. If you were planning on getting the resident evil game 3 remake it makes the 2070s nearly double the price.
I want a new card but I don't think the performance is worth the money on the 2070s and the other top end cards are silly prices.
