Something super is coming...

[BigBANGtheory]

My point is, for these extortionate cards, this is BETTER VALUE than the 2080.

but still abysmal value overall, Nvidia doing everything it can to keep the inflated prices and maximum GP.

oh look an $800 GPU overclocks to a stock $1000 GPU, well god damn I'll order 2 that's such good value LUL no thanks

Its not better value than the 2070 Super though, which killed off the 2080 non Super, as its about the same performance.

668 quid KFA2 2080 Super? Seems like a good buy?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

You can get a 2070S for only £475 though

 

[4K8KW10]

You can get a 2070S for only £475 though, which as i said, is nigh on 2080 non Super performance, so you'll be paying an extra £193 for a couple of more frames

668 quid KFA2 2080 Super? Seems like a good buy?

It can be cheaper, but historically, for a 545 sq.mm GPU, they have always been asking so much.

 

[willhub]

But for 668 you get 2080Ti stock performance?

Like if you start dating a cheap lookalike of a celebrity and it ends up actually the celebrity.

You mean a custom 2080S overclocked to the hilt is not quite managing to knock on the door of a stock 2080 Ti. In Heaven, which isn't actually part of TPU's performance testing suite because it's a nonsense, and is only used to show overclocking gains. Presumably at 1080p too, given the framerates involved, which is where the 2080S gets closest to the 2080 Ti (yet nobody's buying either to play at that resolution). In reality the 2080 Ti is 18% faster comparing the two FE cards on equal footing - a gap that would increase when overclocking the 2080 Ti too, due to the larger bandwidth gains to be had from its wider memory bus.

Don’t pee on his parade, man.

 

[Illuminist]

Yes you can overclock the 2080ti,that's not the point. You can overclock a £670 card to be close to a £1100 card at stock. No one finds that remotely good?

 

[Reality|Bites]

there is a fine line between enthusiast and bored child with too much money I think......no need to upgrade from a 1080 Ti yet wait till next year or more.

How many people play that though

not really.....that like saying you can buy a normal mars bar for £5 while you can buy a slightly bigger mars bar for £10...….still overpriced for what it is.

 

[Besty]

For the price there is no chance that the 2080 or 2080 super are good value because of the 8GB vram. for that price range they need to be giving us a bit more vram.

It's knocking on the RTX 2080 Ti door.

Stock card is still average 10-15% slower than the 2080ti in actual games instead of Heaven Benchmark.

If comparing overclocking, then it would only make sense if comparing the performance of both cards overclocked.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zotac-geforce-rtx-2080-super-amp-extreme/30.html
Also while overclocking the card would make it "knocking on 2080ti's door", on power consumption it is also "knocking on Vega64's (unrefined voltage) door at 300W"

All the people screaming the Vega cards being "too hot" would be completely ok with the Nvidia card being just as hot and not a word of complain about it

That's not what overclocking is for, I can't even debate on here any more

No its like the 1kg dairy milk is £10
And now you can get 900g for £5

I remember when those 1kg bars were a fiver in Woolies, that wasn't even such a good deal at the time....Now, people would go crazy for it at that price
