Worth selling my RTX2080 on used market and get a 2080Super?

[code99]

With the latest techtips video about the new ryzen cpus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIVqIAv11Gg) it got me wondering ...

 

Is it worth selling my current (2 month old) Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 AMP Extreme (https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-2080-amp-extreme) on the used market and get a new 2080 Super (this in particular https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N208SAORUS-8GC#kf) ????

I personally would either watercool it so you could get lower temps and overclock or just live with the beast of a card you have already. since the super line-up is just higher clock rates out of the box

Absolutely not, it's an extremely small bump in performance for the hassle and extra cost.

the difference in performance is not worth the hassle

That's not quite true. All of the Super cards see a bump in clocks, but also CUDA Cores, TMUs, Tensor Cores and RT Cores. Additionally, the 2060 Super sees a bump in ROPs and VRAM and the 2070 Super sees a core change from TU106 (same as the 2060/S) to TU104 (same as the 2080/S.)

AFAIK watercooling a gpu means a custom loop, reservoirs etc, something im not willing to do since I have no experience in this and nor do i want to invest in such a setup.

 

Are there any AIO for gpus, because that I would do ... ?

Yeah thought as much. Seen a bunch of reviews and the performance difference was rather small.

 

Thanks!

There are AIO's for water cooling a GPU. The NZXT G12 bracket or similar allows you to attach an AIO water pump/rad to it.

You can get an NZXT Kraken G12 and pretty much any off-the-shelf Asetek-based liquid cooler. NZXT's are (except for the M22), some of Corsair's are, EVGA's all are, Arctic's all are (I use a Liquid Freezer 240 on my GTX 1080), etc.

Oh so you mean use an AIO for cpus + a special bracket to cool a gpu?  Didnt know this was a thing

Yep, that's how it works. It works quite well for what it's worth.

Yea.

Nice. I will have too look into this since, sounds quite cool (pun not intended). 

 

I am planning to watercool my upcoming cpu (one of the new ryzens), would be nice to have the gpu watercooled as well.

Worked horribly for my 2080ti. Low core temp, but high vrm temps and lots of crashing. Ended up achieving lower over-clocks overall.

Go with AMD when they release big Navi :evilface:
