So what do you buy now?

[PaulfromtheHill]

Lack of benchmarks. Probably all a part of a wider conspiracy to drive people like me to buy the shelfloads of stock that are kicking around! Once shifted, there will be a magic driver update which all of a sudden makes the 2080/2080ti appealing.

Just bought a 1070 for £195 so I'm good for a while I reckon ray tracing will end up like physX anyway

Thats a bargain.


I'm just going to wait it out for the benchmarks then decide whether I'm better off with a 2080 or 1080ti.

No way! New or used?

 

[Apone70]

Gonna try and upgrade from a 1080 to 1080Ti. Nice shader bump.

I've just done exactly that sold my Gigabyte 1080 G1 for £350 and got a Gigabyte Xtreme 1080ti for £550.

damn thats a good price - where was that from?

i am fishing for a 2nd hand 1080ti... but given you can buy new with games for £630 most people imo are expecting too much. so far my (imo reasonable) offers of £460 have been rejected.

To be fair, an asking price of say £150 less than brand new isn't all that bad based on history, when you consider the 1080ti is one of the fastest cards you can get right now. It might not seem much in percentage terms, but in absolute terms a £150 discount is fairly hefty, a bit like getting a £400 top tier card for £250 from a few years back.

Look at this way, if you had a 1080ti what would you replace it with, got to be at least a 2080 right? So with the pre-order prices where they are, you can't afford to take too big a hit on the outgoing card.

So with many people set on upgrading and setting money aside for the 2080/2070 myself included....

Now what?

PS5.

In 2020.

Yeah, got it from an online auction site last week, it has been used for mining though but it's only a year old, the guy sold about 20 of them that night. He has even given me the original receipt as the card has a 3 year warranty.

Right now I thinking of using the money to buy the new Samsung Note 9 instead..

I really wanted a new GPU after I spent a load of money upgrading my PC to the 8700k
But with the new 2080ti costing around £1100 I don't know if am stupid enough to pay that price for one...

I'm still tempted to sell my 1080ti but it would be to have a break for a bit and then buy a 2080ti when I feel like getting back into it all.

It not so bad for you as you get a big chunk of the money needed for the 2080ti by selling your 1080ti

stick with 1070 until the 7nm cards are out. I'm playing a bunch of 2d and indie games atm so don't really need anything faster

The problem with me is I do all my gaming in the winter months and hardly ever any play games in the summer months..

May just stick with my 1080 now and have some the graphic settings turned down like I have been doing for ages.

 

[The_One]

Currently have a Fury X

Undecided whether to go Vega 64 or EVGA 1080 Superclocked

Both are currently £450

 

[AshFU]

That Powercolor Red Devil 64 isn't getting any cheaper than £449

Any idea how long it will be on offer for? Another week till pay day

@Gibbo didn't suggest this was a limited-time thing, so this might be the new price.

Cheers thanks for your time

np, but please don't hold me to anything, I don't know for sure if this is a special price or not

 

[Unrivaledx21]

Are these all second hand purchases or brand new?
