2060 or 1080ti

[Cb2394]

Hey, got a question guys. Currently I have a 2060 rig Strix. Was just offered a 1080ti for $300 and I got a guy who'd buy my 2060 like now for $200. Assuming the TI is in good shape, this is a no brainier deal right? Am I missing something? 1080ti wasn't OC'd, but was used in a HTPC and saw extended durations at 86c.

sounds a bit too good to be true, that 1080ti for 300...

Note that you're out of warranty on the 1080Ti now, so that may play a factor for you.  The heat isn't an issue, mine has run years at that while maxxed OC for mining.

 

For a net of $100, I would do it provided you have the monitor/resolution and rest of the PC to back it up.

1080 ti is a fair bit faster than the 2060, but beware future game optimizations may leave pascal out.

If it's an actual 1080Ti that's actually fully functional, then yeah that's a no-brainer.

@Cb2394 Assuming the 1080ti is a legit deal, go for it. It's very cheap though. Idk who'd let it go for so little. 

[Cb2394]

Yeah it's an actual 1080ti ftw. Seller is apart of a community I'm on celebrating 2 wheeled machines, said it's been sitting in the shelf for a year due to upgrade and that they would prefer to sell cheap vs ebaying it due to the hassle. I'd ask if they can their it in a PC and give be some benchmarks just to be safe but I mean, if it's good

If it's a FTW and they confirm it's working, then hell yeah.

He has to confirm it before they get the money. With his own eyes and ears. It sounds too good to be true.

Like I said, I'm asking for recorded benchmarks, asking for the proof. I'm relatively comfortable buying from this individual, but I'm not a star struck child. Believe me, my first thought was "oh, this thing has been ran into the ground and destroyed".

[Cb2394]

Ok, thank you for the advice guys, as long as the benchmarks and everything is good, I got myself a killer of a deal I'm jumping on.

Hey if anybody is wondering about the resolution, got the 1080ti in, all legit, running well. Going to redo thermal paste cause the P.O. said they never did. Now on the look out for a replacement PSU, my little 620w is getting pushed to the limit, can't OC.

620w is more than enough for an OC, that's not your issue.  Unless it's a poor quality PSU?

 

WHy redo the thermal paste?  It's meant to least many years, it's not oil in a car

 

Glad you got it, don't go ripping it apart. Just enjoy it.

It's not the gpu that's drawing all the power, it's the fact I'm OCing my 1700x at 4.075ghz with a .075v (or whatever it is right now, don't feel like checking) offset. That is what is drawing most of the power. Add on the HDDs, SSDs and such, it's sitting at right about 620w utilization. I was monitoring it during stress testing to verify the condition of the card and it was hitting power utilization limit a few times. I'm pretty happy with my little seasonic m12ii, it's just a hair underpowered if I want to really push my CPU and GPU.

 

As for the thermal paste, I'm already planning on redoing my cpu this weekend, and I feel better about doing the gpu at the same time. It's not like it's a crazy hard task, and I don't know it's been done before in the past, best just to get it out of the way to be safe, you know?

I'm OCing an 8700K at 5GH, and a 1080Ti to 125% power draw and I hit 425w at the wall for the entire machine in my sig.

 

No possible way you can be hitting 620w.

1080ti has more CUDA cores, more vram it has 11gb of vram and is 33% faster than the 2060 but you won’t have ray tracing but at this moment in time raytracing is so unoptimized right now so go for the 1080ti. The 2060 has 6gb vram and less CUDA cards than the 1080ti so go for the 1080ti and plus your getting a good deal for it so I would take it
