Looks like my 1080Ti is holding up well..

[greatash]

Aged much better than the 780ti, although that could be due to stagnation in the higher end of GPU performance and no games using high end hardware unless you go to 4k

It does for me, I was happy to spend the 1080ti price each generation for a new GPU - and even though the 2080ti is massively overpriced - I got half the cost back from selling the 1080ti, so in the end I never broke the bank with the 2080ti purchase, it was within my GPU budget.

You got back 500-600$ from selling the 1080ti and spent $1100-1200 on the 2080ti. This is the reality. By your narrative, it's almost as if you've got a bargain or something on your purchase. You didn't. You spent the full amount on a hyperinflated card. If that makes you happy and you can afford it, then it's all good.

I just picked up on your subconscious justification for the 2080ti and it's important that people understand opportunity cost.

You keep on about the cost of these cards and yes we all know this already, you have already made your views clear and perhaps it is now time to let people enjoy their cards.

For the record the MSI 5700 XT is a really nice card and looks very much like an RTX Titan in styling.

I don't dislike the 2080ti--it's a great card. I dislike people for enabling Nvidia to get away with pernicious pricefixing. Big navi can't arrive soon enough to dismantle this scam.

Got my Zotac amp extreme on first day available as pre ordered. Have money burning a hole in my pocket for the 3080ti or perhaps a AMD card if it goes a bit faster than the 2080ti. Have nearly broken because have been tempted for that extra performance for VR. But I know if I did pull the trigger I would be mugging myself off, So it sits in the bank instead.

NVidia are asking a fair price for what you are getting with the Turing cards as they use huge chunks of silicon which will have quite poor yields.

The problem with Turing is lots of people don't want or need Ray Tracing and the other new features.

Turing pricing is not a scam, it is the result of NVidia trying to produce a product that really should only have seen the light of day on 7nm or better.

I spend 99 quid on Turing once I sold my 1080Ti, for a 2070 Super, I find ray tracing intriguing and like to dabble with it with a card that can at least run it at 30fps. Feel it was worth the 99 quid to at least have a play with RTX in the future.

Not price-fixing. Wouldnt that mean all/other parties in that market segment collude to fix the price?

 

[Little_Crow]

I bought a 1080ti just before the 20xx series was released. It's the first top tier tech I've ever bought and I have no regrets (except for not buying it earlier).

The extra RAM in the 1080ti vs the 2080 and similar enough pricing persuaded me. Was very happy with the performance at 1440p ultrawide, and even happier when the reviews finally dropped showing the 2080 as basically equivalent.

Hopefully the 1080ti will be the 8800GTX of it's time...

Sure, as Nvidia has all the monopoly. But in the case of the 2080ti, the consumer acts as the participant, ironically.

Even my 1080 is doing alright at 1440p. The 3700x has given it a new lease of life in CPU limited games.

For example, in AC Odyssey where I was getting 28-30 minimums I now get 37!

They are the ultimate bling of graphics cards and you can actually admire them on an open bench. Kudos to you, sir.

Bit rich for my tastes.

I would have upgraded to the 2080ti but nvidia got super greedy so I got a evga 1080ti and slapped a 5 year warranty on it was well worth it as I got a great deal.

Fair enough, as I said though - I'm happy to drop $700usd on a new GPU each generation and that to me is all that matters.

I think the point here, is that prices won't stay at $700 each generation. We've already seen an astronomic rise, just in the last two years alone!

This is true but my main point here is that he has gone from paying 700$ each generation to 1200$ without seemingly realizing it.

Yes, which is far too much in my book. I would love to find out what the margin is on those cards, I bet it's very high indeed!
