The Founder Edition at £1099 would probably be a good shout.

It comes with a twin fan cooler as standard which negates some of the advantage AIB partners have traditionally enjoyed.

Looks decent also. I have stuck with MSI this time, as they have always been great cards for me and got lucky with the chip lottery to boot.

Tbh if I was in the market, It would be the FE I would go for, I think they look great.

the reference pcb this gen is also a big improvement over previous generations, allowing AIB's room to save cost on their lower end offerings, nvidia are not aiming to be the baseline anymore

I think at the moment is a very exciting time for GPU evolution as Ray Tracing and DLSS are going to be a real game changer.

I don't know how well these new techs will work with the 20XX series of cards but they are out there and there is no going back. Even if the 20XX series don't quite have the horsepower to fully benefit from the tech the next gen of cards on 7nm will definitely get us there.

I do think NVidia deserve some praise for trying something totally new, unfortunately to do this means using huge dies which are expensive to manufacture.

The worst that can happen is the new techs don't run very well but on the positive side the cards are still going to be noticeably faster than the previous Pascal cards. If the new tech does work well then that is a very big cherry on the cake.

Congrats to anyone buying a 20XX series card, exciting times ahead.

Well said mate. They’ll be a lot of kicking and screaming on the way there, but eventually we’ll get there

Let us know how you get on with the RTX2080Ti you're receiving from nVidia to post that

I’m being persuaded to go msi this time too nice looking we card with the rgb an all.

Pedant alert.... That 'change' for the most expensive 2080ti on Ocuk will currently be one whole penny...

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-427-as.html

The ASUS cards are simply absurdly overpriced. 36% over the FE, which is already 20% above the lowest theoretical MSRP. What the hell are they doing to these cards, with pretty standard coolers, to make them worth paying 63% more than the base price? Is the PCB made up of gold? Converted to NOK I could get a 1070 on sale for about the same price as the price bump above the 2080 Ti FE, or a 1080 for less than the price bump above the (so far unseen) 999$ 2080 Ti card.
ASUS must've done some serious magic to be able to convince people that what they've done to this card is worth more than a 1080.
Even nVidia must've done some kind of magic for the 200$ price premium of the 2080 Ti FE to be worth it. Reviews will tell, hopefully, if the 999$ cards actually show up.

Rog Strix logo sticker adds 20% for a start.

Nothing received from NVidia at all.

I am waiting for the reviews to see if it is good for me to get the 2080 Ti.

Something interesting I have noticed in the new Strange Brigade bench thread is how well the Titan V runs compared to Pascal. Could it have something to do with it being a 12nm card, similar to Turing and NVidia have finally got around to tweaking the drivers. If so it could be very good news for the 20XX series.

I reckon DX12/Vulkan performance will be where the big performance gains will be seen compared to Pascal cards.

Agree, not sure what they're thinking with that one.

I'm sure it's because it's Volta and a monumentally big GPU more than anything else. lol

Nope, I am just not bothered replying. There is no point, you can't discuss anything with that level of delusional.

I have no interest in "trolling" a delusional AMD fanboy with a strong anti-Nvidia / RTX bias as I was one myself (so i know what he's going through) for 1 year leading to Vegas launch and 8 months afterwards until I realized how pointless being a fanboy of a Corporation is and sold my Vega 64 LC and preordered a 2080 which I know will offer a better experience even without being able to enable the Freesync of my MX34VQ.

Silent_Scone · 7 Sep 2018 at 15:38

LOL What the hell? You write up a BS post, full of absolute nonsense that several people have corrected you on. Yet, I am an AMD fanboy because I advised you to buy a Gsync monitor to go with your Nvidia card. It's obvious from posts that you have trouble with reality.

Here are some of the posts correcting your BS.

Kaapstad said:
We are not even sure that the 3dmark TimeSpy score was genuine.

What we do know is the card used was overclocked and if you did the same to a 1080 Ti the Pascal card wins.

MasterOC said:
so I can only assume by this , it was your 2080 and you posted that bench run ? ohh that's right , everythings still under NDA , and until actual reviews and trusted benches are released , its still not a fact , unless you have actual insider knowledge ( which you wouldn't break an NDA to reveal )

I have had g-sync and high refresh monitors , and now both together , its a lot better now then with just one of the two.

Gregster said:
Not a fact at all and was a generic GPU, which could have been a 2080. Plus there is OC 1080Ti's that score far more than 9508. I do expect the 2080 to be roughly on par with wins in some and losses in others but big wins in DLSS games.

And your post was so full of it that some people, like Wrinkly, thought you were trolling.

It's not just this thread either. You have been posting such man love for your new Nvidia pre-order that it's annoying other people too. It's kind of ironic saying your not a fanboy anymore when all your posts lately have been pure fanboy trash.

HybridX said:
Dont listen to Las Vega as he's fanboying hard for the 2080/2080ti at the moment.

No, you had no comeback so the best you could do is call me an AMD fanboy and that I am biased against Nvidia and the RTX. Just because I am not living in LALA land like you doesn't make me an AMD fanboy. The only thing I got against these new cards is the price. I am very interested in the Ray Tracing side of things and I have made several posts saying that 60FPS on 1080p in Real Time Ray Tracing is an amazing achievement. Also, I have mentioned several times about how good a feature DLSS is and how I think it will be the best feature of these new cards. Or maybe you are upset because Tom Petersen came out an said that the 2080 is 35% to 45% faster than the 1080 which puts it slower than the 1080Ti overall. But, don't cry, I am sure it will be faster in some games.

And if selling a card AMD and buying one from Nvidia cures you of been a Fanboy then I was cured a long time ago. I sold my Vega 64 and bought a 1080Ti, the plan was to buy a Gsync monitor, but, now I am waiting to see what 7nm cards bring to the table. And because I have a 1080Ti I know that you won't be getting 100fps in all games at 3440x1440p with your 2080 unless you turn down settings.

Maybe start doing some critical thinking about your pre-order, because your blind love for a card you have never met is making you say some very silly things.

Roughneck · 7 Sep 2018 at 19:10

Damn I thought 4k gaming was the way forward not 1080p Stupid me

Yep, Nvidia cards work fine on FreeSync screens.

WantoN · 7 Sep 2018 at 19:24

I cannot imagine having a thought process that makes pre-ordering the new cards at current prices a good idea. I literally cannot imagine a world where I would ever think that. There are no proper statements or benchmarks, and all rumours point to the 2080 being slower than a 1080ti, which can be had for £600 new at the minute.

I'm really not knocking anyones who's buying one, it's just that I would have to be either insane or under the influence of some seriously heavy duty narcotics to buy one. Literally.

DarrenM343 · 7 Sep 2018 at 19:35

Not everyone is you

.
Can't wait for the next few weeks to be over and the discussion moves on. I can see the debates continuing as the reviews are sure to be conflicting IMO
