1080ti is the sensible option isn't it. But if I'm upgrading then Im tempted to waste more money than a need to go 2080ti.

Such a shame the 2080 is so disappointing.

Sound's like you have already made up your mind.. 2080Ti it is then

The sad thing is, the price of the 1080ti will now increase further as stock dries up, and artificial gouging takes hold.

Anyone wanting a 1080ti should probably jump on it now before the prices match the 2080.

Wonder when the last time Nvidia stock price fell on review day

It's down right now, can't think why :rolleyes:

Its either a 1080Ti or a 2080Ti i would go for. 2080Ti if you can stomach the cost knowing you will be getting the most performance, ray tracing and DLSS when they release it.

1080Ti to 980Ti is no small feat either 60-70%ish so a 2080Ti will be twice as fast without DLSS possible thrice as fast with DLSS :eek:

What on earth are you babbling about? The RTX FE cooler is great and better than the pascal FE cards in every possible way.

Nope, it's on par with a blower for GPU temps and noise. That basically means there's zero reason to buy it (as previously the only reasons were the blower cooler and earlier launch compared to AIB, neither of which this now has).

NB: For anyone interested it's because there are almost no openings for the air to actually escape, meaning it can hit 80c on a test bench nevermind in a case.

You weren't alone. A lot had fps issues with COD4.

The fov must be sweet with those games though.

Its awesome, I play Assetto Corsa with a steering wheel as well which it comes into its own. Second best upgrade for me following the HDD to SSD upgrade back in the day.

But they didn't?

Most of the major reviewers have said it's either not worth the money (I.E Linus/GN) or simply do not buy it (I.E Jayz).

And thats whats so appealing about the 2080ti, its a fairly big upgrade from a 980ti in terms of performance. But in terms of performance per ££ the 1080ti wins.

Since these cards are a new architecture. Won’t we see increased performance with drivers? Over time?

I want more from my 3440 x 1440 UW than what my 980ti gives me but not sure whether to go 1080ti or 2080ti. 2080 was an option until the benchmarks were release.

The 2080 maintains 100fps in nearly every game at Ultra settings @ 3440x1440p. Hardly disappointing.

tyler_jrb said:
If he can get one cheaply then i'd agree. 1080Ti beats the 2080 in pretty much everything once both are fully overclocked.

It doesn't though. The 2080 beats it in pretty much everything @ 1440p & 4k by 5-10%.

Performance is pretty good. Pricing is awful.

If the 2080 was ~£550 at launch like the 1080 and the 2080ti was more like £750 i think we would all be pretty happy with the 2xxx series.

As it happens ~£800 for a 2080 is lol money, and is Nvidia simply taking advantage of zero competition.

1. It’s £715 for a 2080

2.1080 was never £550 at launch as far as I recall at least for the partner cards. As far as memory serves I immediately preordered 2 x EVGA FTW (SHAME preorder SHAME) which as it transpired saved me a fortune because £ vs $ took a nose dive and @Gibbo honoured all the lucky preorders at a loss (legend). The 1080 was probably the same price due to that and low stock for a long time.

You’re only moaning because the 1080ti was surprisingly good value for its Titan performance... and let’s not even go there with Titan V.

This is a new level of misinformation. The 2080 FE is quiter than nearly every GPU tested in the benchmarks and has very good thermals. Its far quiter/cooler than Pascal.

I bet you watched the last part of Jay2cents video and thought the cooler is crap. Well i hate to break it to you but Jay2cents review was the the stinker. The accoustics & vapor chamber of the 2080 FE is getting praised from nearly every other reviewer.

What? You dont recall correctly then. I had a Gigiabyte G1 gaming on pre order for £559.99. I have the order details right in front of me now. There were also standard blower cards available for less than that.

Didn't say the results were disappointing, I agree they are impressive and would be a great upgrade from my 980ti but I may as well go for a 1080ti which looks similar in terms of performance and much cheaper.

Ok, some of you are getting a bit carried away. May I remind everyone if you are unsure to read the sticky on the rules to the graphics card section of the forum.

Gerard · 19 Sep 2018 at 20:22

The picking and choosing of reviews is quite amusing, as always.

Same here, EVGA GTX 1080 Superclock pre ordered on launch for £560 (though I got an additional 5% student discount

Exactly

Also, they did start at £524.99.

It is here in black and white.

People have terrible (or at least selective memories) when it comes to past pricing.
