When to upgrade from a 980ti??

Had my 980ti for not far off 4 years now and I'm kinda getting the niggling to upgrade soon. I remember someone on here saying the same thing about upgrading regarding price and performance.

I went from two Maxwell Titan X GPUs (essentially 980 Tis with more VRAM) to a 2080 Ti and don't regret it at all.

Understandable, £450 was my upper limit. It's a lot to ask for one component, but arguably it's the most important component. Especially for 1440p. Camp the auctions!

I've got an overclock to test, which I actually meant to do yesterday but forgot, so will get it done tonight. I can drop you the settings depending on how successful I am with it. Even if it lasts me another 6 months so I can save for a replacement, I'll be happy.

I'd be interested for sure, but post them in this thread so everyone can see. I'm handing my 980Ti over to my partner so she'll get an upgrade too, and her case has potential for cooling an overclocked card.
 
I am in the exact same boat at the op, my card is 4 years old. Thanks all for the good advice you gave the op.
 
Problem with 1080Ti is the cost/performance delta which ultimately falls short for 4k. Yes its an upgrade but its not double the performance or anything like that and it ain't cheap despite Pascal being out for many years.
 
Did the op upgrade in the end? I'm still with a 980ti and looking to upgrade also I have the windforce branded one
 
its a difficult period for 980Ti owners as they clearly are prepared to buy the best but there are no good options atm meanwhile time ticks on. All that's really happened this quarter once you brush the smoke and mirrors aside is "1080Ti performance" has become about 25% cheaper over 2yrs for a measly 50% gain over a 980Ti OC.
 
My Michael Bay second-hand 1080Ti purchase fell through, so I'm still on a 980Ti. In hindsight I'm somewhat glad I didn't buy it, as it seems to be a waste given my setup. I figure I'll wait and see what happens around the Cyberpunk 2077 requirements before dropping cash on a new card. Until then my 980Ti is simply good enough.

Also, if I'm honest, I want to see what Intel can do. To have a competitive third player in the market would be a game-changer, and in my mind that's worth a bit of patience.
 
Just stick with it or get a second 980ti as you can pick them up fairly cheap now. There really isn't anything worth upgrading to.

980Ti must be a nightmare for nVidia, they just made it too damn good!! :D

1080Ti will be the same story in 2/3 years...

No they didn't make it too good, they asked a shed ton of £$ for a top of the range product. What it demonstrates is how Nvidia has been using the market conditions to off load older silicon without significant price reductions despite there being an over supply. In other words they pulled the brakes on and are using marketing comms to try and disguise it rather than maintain what they are frankly quite capable of doing if they wanted to.

Ive just done this was gonna get a 2070s but couldn't justify that cost so picked up another evga 980ti FTW for £150 to go sli for maybe another year or more i think most games i play supports sli so i can deal with that!
 
Same here still on 980ti. Purchased a 2080ti and tested it for a few hours and decided to return it as it just isn't worth the price .
Maybe I'll get 2080S or just wait. Don't know. It has to be Nvidia card as I'm running gsync display...
What would be % difference between 980ti@1500 and a 2080S also overclocked to it's limit.?
All I can find is those two compared at stock speed but we all know that 980ti has a lot me overclocking headroom than 2080.

2070s seems to be the sweet spot at the moment. It’s where I plan to go from 1080 early next year.

You are probably right and 2070S isn't that far behind 2080S but at my resolution 3440x1440@100hz I would like a bit more power.
Anyway do we know if the Super series is still binned by Nvidia.?
 
Fingers crossed I get the Asus 2070s I ordered on launch day this week :eek:

Also gaming on 3440x1440 @ 120hz and this should allow me to play most games without too much problem.

Intrigued to see what happens next year though :confused:
 
I realise this thread has been inactive for 5 months, however I am in the exact same boat.

I have a 3440x1440 screen and a 980Ti. At 1440p ultrawide it just cannot keep up anymore, yet there is no reasonable value upgrade route. A 5700XT perhaps, but still that is not even a 50% performance increase.
