15% difference between 2080S and 2080 Ti, if benchmarks follow the reported uplift of approximately 10%.

If it overclocks well, we could realistically get within 5 - 10% of 2080Ti performance.

It appears to basically be a gimped 2080 Ti.

My 2080 overclock gives me more than 10% improvement, its reasonable that a 2080s would be about the same
And a gimped 2080ti like you say for £660 is pretty damn good

Less than 24 hours until NDA. I think it's going to do really well tbh.

Just a case of picking a model lol.

Always good to pick a good model to go with your graphics card, gives you some physical activity inbetween games.
Maybe carla devine?

It's the same chip as 2080. That means it's never going to make up the distance to the next chip up.

If I could afford models, I wouldn't be on here talking about GPU's......although, RAM would be a more appropriate topic lol

The Old School Gamer · 22 Jul 2019 at 16:37

Are OCUK doing the free game bundles with a purchase?
It's not a deal breaker but it is something for nothing (as such).

Yes.....hard drives.....

Nvidias keeping the Supers back, so they get all the non Supers sold, as its funny how the Supers are the same chips, but you can't get em, yet the non Supers, are everywhere.

They aren't daft, they know they wont get rid of the non Supers, if the faster Supers are the same prices.

Got to get all those non Supers sold somehow

Is it even worth buying a 2080 now that the 2070 Super is more or less the same perf for less?

Even if the 2080 dropped to say £550?

Nope.

Not when you can still get the Asus 2070S for £475.

I really want an RTX card, currently I'm running a GTX1080ti. Gaming at 1440p and what ever 3840x1200 is 1080p? Worth it?

??? what ???

in any case, the answer is no. the only upgrade is the 2080ti.
2070S is the same performance as a 1080ti
2080 is marginally faster ~5%-ish than a 1080ti, so definitely not worth the upgrade

Thanks, saved me some cash then. I'm not paying £1000+ for a gpu.

When does the NDA lift on the 2080S?

Tomorrow, @ the usual time probably, 2pm.

StriderX · 22 Jul 2019 at 20:14

Whats the point in the 2080ti if a OC'd 2080s is pretty much as good? If not hard perf, certainly value.
