The RTX 2080 pre-order thread
Caporegime
Sure is a lot of threads being created about these new cards considering barely anyone seems to want them due to pricing.

If you've ordered one, you haven't ignored the hype, you've fallen for it hook, line and sinker
Great, as based on the latest news, you'll be able to run the new Tomb Raider title at 40fps at a lowly 1080p with that card, once you switch RTX on (and it was literally impossible to see any improvement in the game with it on.. ..unless "tanking framerate" was a design goal.
)

I concur. SO many threads and whilst I am super excited,,,,,,,, NO NEED

That's because this is a forum where people discuss things. It is possible to discuss things you aren't going to buy.

I pre ordered the FE RTX 2080 Ti because, well why not? I have the money, and I like having the best thing available

I have started a couple but kept mine locked until they can be of some use.

Same, I’d like a 2080Ti and will be getting one if the performance is there.
If it’s barely faster than a 1080Ti then I’ll be sticking with one and wait for something quicker.
That is the main reason I won’t be pre-ordering just yet. I want to see some actual benchmarks and performance numbers before ordering. Especially something of this costing.
Surely if you ignored the hype, you would have passed on pre-ordering a card that has no reviews but an exorbitant price?

Oh good another thread for people to whinge in, get butt hurt, and buy consoles instead.
I have preordered with the intension of not being disappointed on release if they turn out to be good. If less than 20% improvement over my Xp then I'll probably cancel. If they turn out to be 40% faster I'm betting they'll be more orders perhaps less stock and the price will defiantly go up, on some cards it has already, it'll be the 8700k all over again, that got flamed on release, a few weeks later the same people were clambering for them. We'll see, I'm hoping we see benchmarks well before the 13th though.

Watch the personal attacks my little pedigree chum, I'll spell it out cause obviously you cannot read I will cancel if they turn out rubbish if not then I'll get my card when there's no stock. No money has come out my bank so wheres the problem.
