Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

You know whats funny ?? Mates from Poland pointed out

New 1080ti Blower crap edition costs 45 quid LESS than 2080. Why would anyone buy 1080ti blower over 2080 in that situation lol.


BTW BF5 will be MEGA FLOOP seen how Beta was... well was ****

Good thing we can check more than one retailer LOL. I see plenty of GTX1080TI cards for £600 to £620 and they do not use blower coolers.

I think that's what DLSS is for. To bring the performance when RT is applied back up again.

Unfortunately the RT solution doesn't de-noise properly and that's even more evident the lower you go in Gigarays, e.g. on the 2080. Imo it's utter garbage and not ready for anything other than screenshots and demos (and not even then). DLSS might help but it would barely put the 2080 on 2080ti level in it, and that itself isn't doing it well so it's not gonna work out.

I completely ignore the RT hype tbh, it's a non-feature for the next 5 years.
 
I think my next GPU upgrade will be at least a year from now but if I were to buy a nVidia GPU, I would go for 2080ti.
Monster of a card but bloody expensive, too expensive. Wish AMD had something better to compete.
 
Yeah im taking advice from some dude that spends his days dressed as a cartoon character from a show my 7 and 10 year old boys watch hahaha @Zeed ;)

Seriously dress it how you like, 2080 at this exact current point in time offers zero over the 1080ti which can be had for less in an AIB form if you shop around.

That however is not to say that once Nvidia pay off enough Devs to implement DLSS that the 2080 won't start beasting the 1080ti, especially after Nvidia do their usual and stop optimization for previous gen to push their current.
 
Well looks like being an early backer paid off. Gigabyte 2080 arriving to replace my 3 year old 980ti tomorrow. Card bought at £715. Currently selling for £799. Cheapest non blower 1080ti £640. £75 premium for DLSS, probably performance increase with mature drivers and being a Ray Tracing beta tester. I've had worse upgrades.

But lets face it. Nobody wins with this gen.

AFAIK caseking does not have any retailer/subretailer in Poland. Thank god I dont live in that messed up country anymore :/

I think caseking ship throughout Europe though.

Either way probably best to remove the links to be on the safe side.

Umm no. Vega is a plain disaster when itncones to heat and power draw. We are talking about the 2080/Ti not Vega.

If you had read the post you would have seen my mention of Vega was used as an analogy to point out how bad the reference 2080ti cooler is. The 2080ti and V64 are pretty similar on power draw (and thus heat generation) and yet the dual axial fan setup on the reference 2080ti manages to match temps and noise with the Vega reference blower, which admittedly was better than the GTX1xxx reference blower so Nvidia have improved on their previous effort. However you would have thought they would have realised at some point during R&D that having poor airflow was limiting the coolers performance and that their customers might want to put the card inside a case and so "good enough" when used on an open bench wouldn't quite be up to scratch.

Glad I ordered the EVGA lol.

Why do you keep going on about 'your mates from Poland'? Who cares?

This is OverclockersUK dude, so the prices here are what counts and the 2080 looks a horrendously bad deal compared to good custom 1080 Ti's you can get for £550-600.

2080Ti have similar powerdraw as Vega 64 but it has insanely better performance so that analogy is bad. The 2080 on the otherhand is 40watts lower than Vega 64 and 40% better performance while being much cooler and quieter which is a tempting prospect for any Vega owner. So please don't be silly by saying the 2080 FE cooler is "crap" when in fact it's the best reference air cooler made to date and the 2080FE stays under 78degrees under full gaming load while Vega 64 hits 85.

P.S enjoy your EVGA, i hope you measured your case :P

£110 extra for minimal fps gains (without DLSS) might be too much for some but it's far from a "horrendously bad deal" considering the architectural improvements and future potential of the 2080.

Also JFYI the cheapest 1080ti currently on OCUK website is £638.99 which is only £110 cheaper than a 2080FE.

LOL they won't sell you a decent 2080 for the price of a 2080 FE though
