Upgrade gpu??

[Greatestfoe]

Hi. I finished building my first pc about a week ago and it’s been a long time coming. I started about 2 years ago buying components and because of financial reason I couldn’t finish. I got an evga 1080 hybrid. Now with the rtx GPUs out is it worth an upgrade? Besides the ray tracing and power efficiency I really don’t know what’s different, the architecture too but in performance. So I’m just wondering is the 20 series worth upgrading from the 1080 and if so what model would be worth it? The 2080 to is way outa my budget so anything besides that. 
 

thanks

definetly not now.

 

RTX is unviable on the 2000 series, wait for 3k series, rumored to have equal performance rtx on and off.

 

1080 is still a solid card.

i would hold off until the new cards come out i have a 2060ko i paid 299 for but when the new cards come out you should be able to get like a 2070 somthing just just a tad more and be a much better card

I was thinking around Black Friday to get something depending on the deals but I was thinking the 2070 super at least. But I should just hold out until the 3k series? I’d imagine my 1080 has quite a bit left in the tank and I’m pretty happy with the performance, especially over my laptop. I’d like a better monitor, aorus cv27f, so maybe invest in that instead

I was looking at the 2070 super but I’m def gonna hold out until Black Friday unless there’s a really good deal before. What did you have before?

yep, wait for 3k series, as thats when RTX will really become a feature and not a novelty. keep in mind though the launch prices may be about 100 dollars or so more than last gen ( 2070 = 400, 3070 = 500, etc, though unsure.)
