2080Ti vs 2080 Super...

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.

Exactly. It’s hard to look past the 5700xt due to the price to performance. It’s been the case for ages.

Oh yeah I forgot about Gsync. I am probably a bit "addicted" to that now! Would rather stick with Nvidia sadly.

Can you not just turn some settings down and wait until next gen?

I think if you are buying top end nvidia now you are throwing away 100s of £.

I think the next gen nvidias are a die shrink so should be a big increase in performance for the same money.

Yeah thats the plan now. Just got the fear with the lockdown but you are quite right, the plan all along was next gen or (at that time, second hand 2080Ti)

Don't agree with most of that. The 2080ti is a very powerful card easily capable of hanging in there next gen. Nvidia announced DLSS 2 which is what will make that moreso.

Sure if ego and having the latest model number are super important to you then maybe a 20 series isn't a great idea but the PC is limited now by software not hardware.

Don't expect them to be cheaper per performance either. Every one expected that from the 20 series then got a shock. I've noticed a lot of people who used to be here on this part of the forum are no longer here because they found out just what Jen thought of their loyalty and the false friendship they thought they had with him.

The better the consoles get the more console beating hardware has become.
 
Might be a bad idea to buy an RX 5 series now, with no Dx12 Ultimate support.

Microsoft Thursday released the DirectX 12 Ultimate logo. This is not a new API with any new features, but rather a differentiator for graphics cards and game consoles that support four key modern features of DirectX 12. This helps consumers recognize the newer and upcoming GPUs, and tell them apart from some older DirectX 12 capable GPUs that were released in the mid-2010s. For a GPU to be eligible for the DirectX 12 Ultimate logo, it must feature hardware acceleration for ray-tracing with the DXR API; must support Mesh Shaders, Variable Rate Shading (VRS), and Sampler Feedback (all of the four). The upcoming Xbox Series X console features this logo by default. Microsoft made it absolutely clear that the DirectX 12 Ultimate logo isn't meant as a compatibility barrier, and that these games will work on older hardware, too.

As it stands, the "Navi"-based Radeon RX 5000 series are "obsolete", just like some Turing cards from the GeForce GTX 16-series. At this time, the only shipping product which features the logo is NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 20-series and the TITAN RTX, as they support all the above features.

Looking at cards.

Price of 2080Ti coming in at around DOUBLE (or close to) that of a 2080 SUPER.
Is it that much better? how much better is it? Seems a mad jump in price.

2080Ti starts at around £950, 2080S around £650 AFAICT, so around 45% more (unless you're talking about something really fancy, I guess, never saw the appeal myself.)

Glad to hear someone else sees sense on this. It wouldn’t be so bad if the top end cards actually gave you something for your £ but no they give marginal performance gains and RTX support in a handful of titles.

The Ti gives you great performance, a large amount of memory, RTX and accelerated AI/ML within a few percent of some very expensive data centre cards. Might not be worth the price for most people, but I do like having that power available.
 
not worth it IMO. the 2080S gets close. granted the 2080Ti still has a fair bit more grunt in some apps/games than others. Buuut not worth the price difference when buying new IMO.

I didn't want a 2070S for RDR2 at 3440x1440 glad I paid more and enjoyed my 2080S especially now with delays to the new launch.

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

You don't need to watercool it in the first place.

First World problems or what.

Gpu's are expensive. Buy what you can afford and what you think warrants value for money.

Otherwise don't.

Seriously people arguing on a 2080 super vs 2080ti is ridiculous. Both are as bad as each other compared to 2070 super.
