A used 1080ti they're around $500, still has the RTX 2080's performance.

Otherwise I'd just hold out if you already have a 2060 super, a 2080 super really isn't worth the asking price right now IMO.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Thats what I would have done, if the 1080ti's werent just as expensive as 2080's in my country.

well what should I do if I want to upgrade? I have a short period of time where I can upgrade (dont have to pay rent this month) and I want to get something that will last a while

 

I was thinkin the 2080 super seems like a decent pick, the 2080ti is too expensive

 

I guess 1080ti is good but idk i want a warranty bcuz I want this card to last a long time. I was looking at some of the RTX 2080 cards that come with a waterblock

Are you upgrading from 2060 super? Not sure if that is actually worth the upgrade considering you have a decent card already. In any case if you do want to upgrade, pretty much all cards with reference pcb's (cheaper versions) will have a waterblock available. E.g. list https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/waterblock/3831109815878

The Founders Edition is exactly what you want, buy it straight from nVidia.

 

It's the cheapest, it's fine by all means and in fact the best option for a water lock since the GPU is binned.
