If budjet no issue, go with 2080.

But If I were you, I would be sufficient with 1080ti and use the extra money on other parts.

Nvidia actually doesn't gimp old cards anymore. I use my 980ti with latest driver and it still give the same performance. I even had an older driver backup just in case they really gimp. I never needed to use it lol. Tho I worry if they might gimp the 10 series in favor of 20 series this time lol

I'd go 1080ti, it's way way cheaper, it performs the same as a 2080. Despite 2080 having the RT tech and tensor cores, if raytracing game settings can only do 40fps for 1080p, what's the point of that 4k display lol. I don't see a need for RT yet. Maybe the next gen 30 series could handle RT better, but right now it's not good for those with higher than 1080p displays.

Plus if you buy a 20 series now, what games can you even play with raytracing feature? None atm. If you want 2080ti I'd say go for it since it does a lot better with 4k, but 2080 nah.. 1080ti will do, cheaper as well.

u sure bro..

rtx off = 70 fps
rtx on = 35 fps

how?

Asal RTX on!!!

Real time ray tracing isn't Nvidia exclusive, it's just AMD didn't push the tech hard enough.

Let just hope amd can gather enough resources to strike back with navi next year,
Else one will need to exchange a kidney just for 4k60fps ray tracing gaming with rtx 3080.

After reading review, RTX are quite impressive, on paper because those new features aren't available on games now.
Ray tracing too taxing, maybe another one or two generation see how.
I'm more interested over Tensor core, simply, AI. In theory it could boost AA performance a lot, double RT performance etc.

With just 40% increase over 1080ti performance, 2080 is no no for me, unless price dropped to same as 1080ti

Now wait 1080ti price drop, or grab 1080 cheap and upgrade next year

Comparing with Titan XP (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html), and assuming RTX2080 is 10% better and RTX2080Ti is 25% better (not really, depends on games and settings), and taking some local prices into consideration, looks like GTX1070Ti is in the sweet spot for value

You're right, plus there's no competition can price whatever they like.

There's alway g-sync man.

Not for me! I'm using G-Sync monitor and anything below 50fps will not be smooth... at least for me.

RTX 2080 is pointless card only RTX2080ti makes sense because its the only card that can 4k 60 most of the time but damn its expensive

1080ti Rocks. 30% per for almost 70% cost different = @@||.
but 2080Ti can do 200hz 1080p in competitive gaming with no sweat.

after the review out, don't think 2nd hand market alot XD.

Will gaming performance drop when the tensor cores are being used for calculations? I haven't googled myself but I'm guessing there will be a performance impact. Time to buy that second 2080ti and make Nvidia happy

Realistically I'd buy a used 1080ti and save even more than being an early adopter of the 2080, I don't plan to go 4k yet since I can't afford the monitor I want, 1440p for the time being. Wait 1 year when the 2090 and 2090ti are announced, then only upgrade.

Good thing I cepat cepat buy 1080ti when 20 series was announced.. Now those who are selling 1080ti probably would put a higher price tag maybe lol

i am thinking that too

currently no extra part to buy yet

here is confusing part 1080ti or 2080

think wisely guys.....

used 1080ti... can get below 3k now....

I only briefly go through anandtech article, it should not, as it's dedicated physical core.
From my understanding on the article, with DLSS it'll boost performance by some margin. The theory are with DLSS, you wont need AA at all, and usually AA cut performance. DLSS allow you to regain that lost framerate, while at the same time give you high quality AA image quality.
One weakness/restriction thou, it'll require game developer and nVidia to 'train' that game in order to work with DLSS.

Just saw an article worthy of reading on DLSS at guru3d, later finish work chew through

RTX card is like a rpg character it can level up as time goes by with dlss
