Upgrade time...

[Cavallino]

As title folks... currently got a 2080 RTX and wanting to go for something faster to keep up with monitor refresh rate for Gsync.

Is the 2080 Ti still the go to card at the moment or does AMD have an offering these days?

Or have I heard right there is the 3000 coming out soon?

Thanks in advance.

(How much could I expect to get for a 2080?)

 

[Cavallino]

Ah ok. Thanks folks.
So in the meantime, I guess the 2080 Ti is still the best bet?

 

[Cavallino]

Just checking benchmarks. Doesn't seem to be a huge difference between the both? Perhaps 15fps on average at 4k? What are your thoughts?

 

[Cavallino]

Yes that does seem to be the case , bit of a stupid question not researched in the first place before asking. Thanks for confirming my thoughts though folks.

If you don't mind wasting money and can afford the hit, just buy the fanciest 2080Ti you can find, but it'd make more sense to wait on the release of a 3000 series with the 2080.

Well I dont mind wasting money on a meaning upgrade which it seems a 2080 vanilla to TI doesnt seem to be.... as you said and others have advised, wait for the 3000. Thanks bud.

If you're playing at 4k why did you not buy the 2080ti instead of the 2080 in the first place ?

Sorry let me clarify, Im not quite at 4k, but rather 3440 x 1440 widescreen.
At the time I couldnt swallow £1 to £1.2k for the Ti, so went for the vanilla.
Now I can afford, but alas, the performance increase for another 500-600 quid doesnt seem to be worth it from what I can read.

I wouldn't bother.

Ridiculously poor improvement in performance for enormous removal of notes from wallet.

Yep. Message received and understood. Will be holding out for now. Cheers.

Yep I can wait I was just thinking about getting a higher refresh rate monitor recently and wanted to make sure I got enough GPU power to match the refresh.
