Curious: Why'd you go with a 2080Ti and not just a 2080 or 1080? Did you just want the RTX support or did you just want the absolute best possible GPU for gaming regardless of price?
- beenBoutIT 8y agoI can't answer for OP, but I went with a 2080ti because it's cheaper than purchasing a 2060/2070/2080 now and buying a 2080ti later. If price wasn't an issue I'd have gone with the best possible Titan RTX.
- twiceaday 8y agoThat doesn't make much sense. If you buy a 2070 now in a few years the successor 2170 (or whatever) will be more powerful than the current 2080ti and cheaper. Unless you have unlimited budget I find that buying cheaper cards more often will give you better average performance.
- frankchn 8y agoThe pace has slowed down somewhat. A 2080 (discounting the DLSS and RTX stuff) is about as fast as a 1080Ti, a 2070 is about as fast as a plain 1080, etc...
- twiceaday 8y agoThat doesn't really change my argument. If the pace slowed down then a x70 will last longer too.
- beenBoutIT 8y agoActually, the 2080ti is around the same price as the 1080ti, if you can find one.
