GTX 1080 TI or 2070 Super?

[Venoms]

So I built a new system recently keeping only my GPU and storage from the previous one. The specs can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6KBTsZ

I have the GTX 1070 FE with the blower style cooler, in demanding games such as Rust in my new setup it runs around 82c, in my old setup it ran around 88c.

This is because my new case has much more air flow with 3x 140mm fans but still I'm looking to upgrade to a card that will run cooler and get better frames.

My budget is around 500usd and I was looking at a triple or double fan GTX 1080 TI's and 2070 Supers, the only thing is I don't know how they stack up compared to each other.

If they're equal performance in gaming/streaming as that is my work load then I will go for a 2070 due to the warranty and the fact that its a new product but if anyone knows some

performance numbers and comparisons of these cards I would greatly appreciate it.

2070 super = first gen 2080 basically

The 2070 Super performs pretty much the same as the 1080 Ti and is more technologically advance with RTX and all. and I believe the 2070 Super will also be more affordable.

Based off that information I think I'm gonna go with something like this: https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-2070-super-rtx-2070-super-gaming-x-trio/p/N82E16814137439?Description=msi 2070 super&cm_re=msi_2070_super-_-14-137-439-_-Product

Its also compatible with Mystic Light which is nice.

Yes that is a very good card, go for it

As much as the 1080 Ti is still a bit faster I'd favour a brand new 5700 XT at this point, card is cheaper and not that significantly behind if you aren't trying to squeeze every bit of fps.

 

When we only had the vanilla RTX 2070 it picking the 1080 Ti would be quite obvious but nVidia made it better with the 2070 Super where you might wanna consider giving up that bit more performance the 1080 Ti has for the newer gen.
