Is it worth cashing in my 2080ti for a RTX 3080? Use a RTX 2060 in the short term?

Too Tall · 21 Jun 2020 at 19:57

just posted in the other thread, just sold my 2080 ti for £900.

Hoping for the 3x series release sooner rather than later.

I reckon that the 2080ti will be worth around 400-500 S/H once the new cards come out. There will also be a lot of people waiting to jump on the EoL stock once new cards arrive so you need to factor that in too.

I sold my 1080Ti for £460 about a month ago, so no.

When the 3080Ti lands, I reckon the 2080Ti will still sell for £800.
I'm also going out on a limb and saying the cheapest 3080Ti will be £1349. Why not if the current cheapest 2080Ti is £1049 (on OcUK)

Could be totally wrong but that's my guess. Some people won't want to spend £1349, they will want a 2nd hand 2080Ti for ~£800.

The 2080ti will probably not take a price decrease at all, in fact it'll more than likely go UP in price as inventory starts to dry up. This place had a radeon 7 listed for a grand ffs.

Not if the 3070/80 offer same or better perf and 4x the ray tracing for that price point.

Well if the prices stay this high at least my 1080ti will still be worth £460 in a few months time.

All depends on the stack pricing I reckon the next ti will come in around £999

Or a brand new 3080 for the same or less?

No chance of 2080Ti regularly selling for that kind of money. If they do then 30 series will have been extremely lack lustre.

Edit, thought you meant used cards. Lol. Does not really matter what new 2080Ti cards still sell for really, there are loads of uninformed people who will buy those.

Did you do it OP or are you still using your 2080Ti?

I just can’t understand someone dropping that on a card at this stage in the lifecycle. Why would you not already have one? Why not just buy one with warranty?

McGraw · 25 Jun 2020 at 08:58

Why is everyone accepting that more performance equals a lot more money?

It should be 70 series trades with 80ti of previous generation for no more than £100 more than previous 70 series.

I have indeed removed the 2080ti from my pc, currently very happily using a 2060 super, OC it , getting some great 4k results, lots of tweaking, but yeah totally liveable in the short term...(see my post further up for further tweaking details at 4k)

I have not yet got round to putting my 2080ti up for sale, but I shall be doing so very soon.

Sooner the better before more people realise new cards are on the way.

Why take it out before selling? Won't the buyer want to check it works first? Unless you're selling online I guess

Because pass history of Nvidia releases has taught us not to have wishful thinking but be a realist.

Just look at the price point of 2070 launched at £100~£150 more than 1070, and was still quite a bit slower than the 1080ti, while the 2080 that as slightly faster than the 1080ti launched at £100-£150 higher in price than the 1080ti did.

Ok and I saw that and didn’t bite. I like to feel I’m getting value. There seems to be none now yet these cards keep getting hoovered up it seems. Also the 20 series had RTX to try and justify the price increases. It failed to do so so.

I meant full, original owner warranty but ok.

After seeing this thread bought a cheap 5700XT, sold the 2080 for £500 (the interest for it was absolutely crazy) and now have a pot of cash waiting in case I decide to go for the 3xxx series but I am quite happy with the 5700XT think I might wait for the Space Invaders to settle and give it another year.

Indeed it will be sold online.

Boomstick777 · 25 Jun 2020 at 13:16

Just got mine for £700..

Nice price, I paid around £600 for mine around 10 months ago, hoping to make a bit more than £100, which make and model is it?
