Current Events > Oh shit, NVidia announced RTX 2080 and 2080Ti, that's great news.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Now the price of the 10xx GPUs will drop and I can get an amazing device at a lower price.

...well, when I need to upgrade again anyway. Might not be for a while now, I'm pretty happy with my current machine.

Yeah, like you liberals would care about gaming PCs.

What are the specs of this new beast? 8k?

LOL, I'm a liberal now? Funny, just an hour ago I was being called alt-right.

Guess it's true what they say, you know you really are in the middle when both sides think you're their opposite.

4K@60fps with just a single card, on almost any game you throw at it, for the 2080 Ti. The 2080 isn't a particularly huge improvement over the 1080 Ti, apart from that it runs less hot.

At least, going by a comparison thingy I read.

How much do you think it'll drop by?

No idea on exact figures, but I've always gotten really good value for money by buying high-end previous-gen PCs instead of current-gen mid-range ones.

I got a 1080ti already so ill pass on the 2080ti unless its insanely better

I'm in a similar predicament. I'm using a Radeon 6450 HD card and it's old. Around 2011, I believe. Anyways, I was looking to either get a new PC or build my own. I've researched both CyberPower PC and Dell, and heard mix reviews about CyberPower PC; people keep saying they are having problems and having to send the system back all the time. With Dell, I've had two Dell PCs and they both have been fantastic. Now with NVidia coming out with some new technology, I'm wondering if I should wait till Christmas. And even then, buy a PC or build my own.

I've been laptop master race since about 2005. I've had three Dells, an HP, two Acers and a Toshiba during that time. The Dells are without a doubt the most reliable.

Current model is an Inspiron 7559. The i7, 4K display variant, of course.

It's better, but not insanely better. Probably not worth the upgrade, especially if you aren't worried about 4K (from what I can gather, 1080 Ti is more than enough for 1080p or even 1440p).

I got a 4k@60 tv i sometimes use. I played all of nier automata on it, and the 1080ti was fine for that. But i mainly game at 1440p@165fps
I looked at some article and saw that there wasnt a massive fps boost for a game they tried it on, like 10 more fps or something. Not worth running out and upgrading

I mean, the 2080 Ti will hit that frame rate at 1440p in some games that the 1080 Ti can't. But it'll be cases where the 1080 Ti would've maybe got around 110 - 130fps, not cases where the 1080 Ti could barely run the thing.

(Numbers in this post are meant to illustrate a general concept and are not precise, scientific figures.)

didn't benchmarks just come out that show its not that much better than the 1080ti?

but yeah. hopefully prices of the 1080s go down. i have a 1060 and its starting to show its age. though, im tempted to get an AMD card cuz my monitor has freesync.

Regular 2080 is only a very slight improvement over the 1080 Ti. 2080 Ti is noticably, though not hugely, better than either.

Apparently leaked benchmarks for the 2060 show it to be a huge improvement over the 1060 though. But given the sources, it has to be taken with a grain of salt. (I forget what these were exactly, I just recall noting that the article I was reading expressed strong skepticism about them.)

2080 is on par with the 1080ti but costs $100-$200 more lmao

2080ti is pretty neat but lol@$1200 GPUs. It was lulzy when it was the Titan, its even more lulzy now that it's not a Titan

I know gsync is excellent. Freesync probably is as well but im not sure if its worth the tradeoff of moving away from nvidia

My computer has a 960, paired with a 4K display, and I've had no problems with it yet. Even less so for my gf's gaming PC with a 1060 (3GB model), which is also paired with a 4K display - albeit one that doesn't go over 30fps. (Great idea JVC, making a 4K TV that only has HDMI 1.4 >_> to be fair, 4K TVs at all were still pretty rare here when we got it)

Freesync is fine(as long as you dont buy a shitty monitor with a bad variable refresh range), but AMD is a complete meme past the 580 so you don't really have many options for GPUs to push a 4k monitor or a high refresh rate 1440p monitor

I'd have loved to support AMD over Nvidia this gen but the Vega GPUs are just too shitty

AMD have great (relatively speaking) integrated GPUs. I'll take an AMD integrated over an Intel HD anyday. You also tend to get more for the same price out of them. But once you're getting into anything beyond integrated or maybe low-end dedicated, you do really need to go NVidia if you want the absolute best (and price is not a problem).
