Graphics Card Advice

If you are on G-Sync and do not intend to upgrade your monitor in a year or so, then definitely number 2. If not and you can hold out a bit longer, then hold out until 7nm from either AMD or Nvidia.

Hindsight I also regret not buying the 1080Ti before the mining craze. I game at 4K myself and just went for a Titan XP from the members market in the end. Never had a Titan before and having 12gb of vram also was enticing for playing Final Fantasy 15 which seems to be a vram hog. At least I know I am now fully covered until 7nm comes out. I really hope Nvidia actually bring the performance with 7nm and not just another 20-30%.



I personally would not bother with SLI. If you must buy today then buy one 1080ti and put the money saved towards a 7nm GPU.


They are very expensive there from what I have seen. People wanting on average £550 for their second hand gear, might as well add £30 more and get the Gigabyte Gibbo has up for pre-order brand new!

This is what I find confusing. Did the 1080 ti price went up on the second hand market as the 2080 is meh? I mean yeah I could save around £80 ish if I buy second hand but warranty is not going to be easy but then again my current cards were both bought used and I didnt have any problems with them (Maybe I am lucky?).

Pretty much. The 2080 is very underwhelming card for it's asking price, it even has 3GB less ram compared to a 1080Ti. Personally I think if one wants it due to it's RTX features then go for the 2080Ti as only that seems to have enough grunt to even work 60fps on 1080p. But obviously each to their own, if it makes them happy, what I or others think should not matter :D

I buy my used cards from members market here. I feel there is a smaller chance of something going wrong vs ebay. Apart from one guy who promised to help me with warranty once who then ignored me when I needed help, then lied to me and admins (got permabanned for it), I have had no issues :)
