Meh, not impressed with DLSS, feels like 90% placebo.

That $200 difference gets me 400 rounds of 7.62x39. Honestly the prices this gen have seen me (780Ti/980Ti/1080Ti) say screw nvidia. If I do get a 2080ti it will be on ebay once it hits $600-$700.

10 million copies sold on pc is nothing to sniff at, regardless.

I can't even get either. Satellite with a 50GB data cap per month (then $3 per GB after that), then Verizon hotspot with a 22GB data cap.

Cinebench is hardly gaming though.

That's fantastically inaccurate; Bloomfield is still quite capable when it comes to pc gaming. The only thing holding back Bloomfield is lack of pcie 3.0, which has a toll in certain games around GTX 1080 horsepower, but never to a point where it's tangibly noticeable...

LOL. Awesome.

I have yet to buy a used GPU from ebay that looked any different than a new one; that's why there are pictures. I've bought 11 used GPUs in the past two years and all but 1 work pristinely. The one that did not work I returned and money was refunded within 48 hours.

1080Tis are selling well under $700 on ebay including shipping, in the buy it now section some are $620 with shipping. In auction they have gone sub $600.

There have been plenty of used 1080Tis on ebay for sub $600.

The last few years I've been willing to pay ~$740 per Ti (780Ti/980Ti/1080Ti) card for around ~$1480 for 2-way SLI, but the unabashed (and undisciplined) greed on display here by nvidia is just dishonorable and frankly; insulting. This unbridled greed is a huge turnoff to me; to the point where...

Given the rather average performance jump historically, where x80 cards are equivalentish to preceding Ti cards (i.e. GTX 980 /780Ti, 1080/980Ti) and the Ti cards are typically only decent in performance gains, then I would be very surprised if the 2080Ti blows the 1080Ti out of the water with...

Very interesting article. It would be great to see another article like this targeting 2012-2014: Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor FarCry 4 Watchdogs Dragon Age: Inquisition Assassin's Creed: Unity Thief Bioshock Infinite Tomb Raider Total War: Rome II ArmA III (with 4x 38 man PLTs engaging...

Depends on the resolution and graphics settings; at 1440p on up SLI starts to make a difference in GTA V.

Amen to that. I sincerely regret not taking this approach years ago.
