My current 1080 Ti doesn't overclock at all- so I'm not expecting that from a 2080/2080Ti. I'd just like better performance at 4k/60Hz.

That said, no way in hell am I paying FE prices for one.

For now I'm planning to stick to my 1070 Ti.
Earlier this year I upgraded from a 780 Ti. It doubled my performance and I was also impressed that it only required a single 8 pin power connector.
 
When they're not using the RTX stuff I'm thinking the 2080 will hit 2.2-2.35 GHz and the Ti hits 2.0-2.15 GHz. When they are using RTX I'm betting they're voltage limited.

I think you mean power limited which is a concern I share. There are usually soft/hard mods for that. Do I have the balls to do it on a $1200-1400 card is the question.

Also, 1 day!!

I need compute and a half-way decent cost.
If I'm to buy anything, it will be AMD side. The software I use doesn’t use Cuda. I'm considering picking up a Vega 64 on the used market after the new nVidia cards drop, as undoubtedly they will push all other prices down.

I'm definitely going to upgrade but not to a 2080ti. I think I'm going to wait until the next next gen 2180 / 3080ti or maybe the next AMD GPU. At this point my current hardware is more than enough. I tried gaming at 4K (my living room TV), but most of the time I'm on my Dell 34".

If within the next 2 years before the next next gen GPUs land, a new wave of 4k gaming monitors come out and they are excellent in every way, then MAYBE I'll consider getting more horsepower to push it before my original schedule from above.
 
I’ll probably end up buying a 2080ti because my VR setup demands it but I need one with a high power limit.

I think nVidia screwed themselves by not having DLSS ready.

Did you get a Pimax 8K?
 
Not touching the 20 series at the current prices. performance isn't there for current use and RTX is a no show. Maybe next year if prices come down to a reasonable level.

The Founders Edition cards are a rip-off anyways. You're paying for the privilege of getting a card on release. Just reference cards with a slight overclock.

I'll just wait for the standard clocked reference cards and see how demand is.

NVidia sell 2 SKUs of each chip, one is standard clock, the other is higher clock + higher power.
It appears the main card mfrs are all using higher clocked chips.
 
Hard to decide currently. DLSS could tip the scales pretty heavily if preliminary gloating is even partially correct. The 30-40% of the 2080TI could turn in to 50-60% where DLSS is enabled; though adoption is the key in that game. I was only considering picking one up specifically for the DLSS advantages pending real benchmarks instead of marketing hype. I am still curious as to what AMD will have to offer next, though I'm not optimistic on it being a high end product, I feel like they're going to tackle the larger chunk of the pie and hit the $200-$300 bracket with their next lineup and try to hit the high end later; hopefully we'll see something along the lines of the speculation that they will introduce a card that is between 1080 and 1080TI performance levels in the $300 range.
 
We still have no idea how well DLSS actually works. They've only shown two on rails demos.

AMD will more then likely offer nothing at the high end. The last time around AMD had a high end card people still bought Nvidia,
Making a high end card for what market exactly?

If you buy Nvidia you better ask Nvidia for more support rather then anything else.

AMD has been pricing their cards +$100 too much since the Fury X.

It’s usually the card one step down that is interesting but their VR performance would need to improve for me.

By high-end card you mean one the competition had cards two or three tiers above it, depending on timeframe?
 
Already have a 1080ti, the 2080ti will not do 60fps at 4k using ultra settings in a lot of games.
Ghost recon and far cry 5, even the reviewers wont show those numbers.
$1,200 and i wont get 4k/60fps/ultra setting on any game i want?


was wrong about far cry 5 and ultra, but most reviews are not showing the games that get 40fps at 4k/ultra
seems a 1200 card should play all current aaa games at 4k/ultra/60fps+ , not to mention soon to be released aaa titles, it is the fastest card fur sure

that article only showed games the 2080ti does well with, thanks for proving my point

IF (big if there though) I bought a card, the only one worth buying is the 2080Ti. But I'm not running out the door to move off my 1080Ti.
 
For now I dont see a compelling reason to upgrade the 1080 I just got to a 2080 or much less the TI.. However if the 2070 is available for step up before my 90 days is up I may do that if everything else is on par with the 1080 just for a little extra future proofing of the tech.. Plus I play PUBG more then anything else by far & its supposed to get the DLSS treatment with a healthy bump so if thats the case I could be looking at a pretty decent upgrade in what matters most to me for about 100 bucks (Just got my 1080 for 430 directly from EVGA)

If that's the bracket you're looking at, probably not a bad idea if you don't mind paying EVGA for the step-up, which might not cost much given that your window includes the holidays.

We’ll have to make sure we compare OC vs OC when the reviews come out. 2080ti should have way more headroom from stock than the 1080ti. Also way more likely to throttle if not setup correctly.

Really not in the mood to shunt mod and such like I usually do....

Turned out it didnt have anymore headroom at all for overclocking. More interesting is the very little performance improvement at 1080p and some lagging even at 1440p. Some have speculated it's a cpu bottleneck but I wonder if there bottleneck somewhere in the gpu itself.

Techpowerup said every card was power limited. It’s crazy hard to find a good OC review. I wish they’d just post the afterburner graphs.

FTW cards and such might do better. I plan to shunt mod my card.

There is no way 250W is fine on both a 471mm^2 card (1080ti/Titan X) and 754mm^2 card when OCing.
