Thinking of pressing the button on an Asus 2080ti using trade in

[ShortyUK]

Hi All
I have been waiting to see how the 2080Super benchmarks look and its not looking as good as I had hoped. I want a card to play DCS in VR with as high a setting as possible and I am coming around to the fact that its going to have to be a 2080ti.

I currently have a 1070ti that i can get £275 back on if I trade in for an Asus card. I can pick up a ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-11G-GAMING for £1094 with trade in £819

The offer ends 31st August so need to make a decision soon however I am wondering if the ti prices might drop a little with the launch of the supers.

Am I doing the right thing, any thoughts on the matter ?

Rig Spec:
Ryzen 3700x, Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 Motherboard
32gig 3000mhz TForce Vulkan DDR4 (4 x 8gig)
Asus Cerberus 1070ti

If memory serves DCS were doing some VR optimisation work so personally I'd wait until that is released.

Its been released unfortunately its a damp squib that had minimal impact on fps

Thanks for the comments on price I did wonder if they would hold on the high prices

if you own one of those new high end HMD displays for VR then yeah you've got a problem because you want to enjoy it now. I get that and you've got little choice unfortunately.

Yup unfortunately that's my situation. Thanks for the reply

If you're getting that price where I think you're getting it, that won't work if you want this offer. It has to come from one of the resellers listed on ASUS's tradeup website

You my friend have just saved me from an embarrassing buy. Thanks. I hadn't spotted the approved seller list. Well that puts it off for me for the moment. None of the sellers have the version I was after that was in my budget. I guess I'll just have to try to get a good price second hand for my 1070ti and then go for one of the sub £1000 2080tis from another manufacturer.
