RTX OR GTX 3440x1440 gamming

[Mr.MEESEEKS]

Hello

 

I wanted to check what should i buy.

I am planing on buying 35" ASUS ROG TUF Curved VG35VQ and i have i7 5820k at 4.2ghz and GTX 1070. But that was for 1080p gaming.

Now I think I should update my GPU.

I was thinking on buying either used GTX 1080 Ti or RTX 2070S

 

GTX 1080TI goes for about 150 usd cheaper than RTX 2070 but i noticed that for most games preformance is similar.

150$ cheaper than the RTX 2070 Super is not a bad deal if it's a good model... either ways the experience will be more or less the same... the 1080 Ti is often still faster but can start to show it's age when you play a game that can better utilize Async compute.

If you care only about value, the 1080 Ti.

 

If you're paranoid about how the card was treated and can't live possibly without warranty support, the 2070 Super.

[Mr.MEESEEKS]

I was looking online and i actually found 2080 for the price of new 2070s, and apperently it was only used for few moths before guy switched to 2080s so i was thinking about going for that

 

Its an ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 8GB

It doesn't really matter IF you can get a 1080 ti that works well. I always worry about used parts, especially cards that might have been used for mining.

 

Obviously a 2070S new is (1) new, and (2) a little more future capable than a 1080 ti.

 

I have a 2070S for 1440p gaming, and it's great. But I really don't notice much other than the framerate hit when I use real-time ray tracing. Hopefully software gets better.

I dont really think that Real time ray tracing has any other use than to tank your FPS, i know there is a difference but  its not important for me

The upside of going with a used 2080 or a 2070 super would be longer driver support from Nvidia. The 1080 ti might only be from one generation ago, but in terms of years it's been considerably longer than usual thanks to the mining nonsense in the past.

Well if i am going 2070 i will buy new but i found one 2080 for good price, and i think its a bit future proof than 1080ti

If it's a 2080 non-super, it's not worth it.

 

The 2070 Super replaced (and is effectively the same as) a 2080 non-super. 2070S is even slightly better from what I've seen.

HMmm interesting let me check some benchmarks etc....

I tought they might be similar but that 2080 still might be a bit ahead like 5-8%

I'll agree with the effectively the same argument, but I doubt you would see better performance with equivalent cooling. You don't see much of the 2080 in charts anymore since it was replaced though.

Running 1080 Ti with 3440x1440 @ 60 Hz here.

 

So far I haven't had any issues with running games on it (along with 9600k). Though I do not play a lot of mainstream games either. CS:GO, GTA:Online, Rocket League and all definitely fine, you can easily reach 100 Hz there.
