is rtx2080 super just NOT enough for 1440p 144hz gaming?

[SAVE-12-HK]

since rumor suggest 3060ti will be 5% faster than  2080s, and it got 17% less cores than 3070, I assume  2080s equal to 3060ti at $400 for now

 

from youtube benchmarks, 2080s seems to handle most  aaa games from 80~120fps, meaning  users had to drop graphics setting to get.more fps 

 

just like gtx970 said to be perfect 1080p GPU, which didn't age well, is 2080s in similar position?

We don't yet have concrete evidence yet, but even if this is the case the 2080S is still a good GPU for 100-144fps at 1440p. Every GPU from the RTX 20xx lineup feels like bad value now. But hindsight is 20/20.

We have no way of really predicting this, games will get more demanding, that's a given. But how long will the 2080S be a relevant performer remains to be seen. Unless you have a crystal ball you aren't sharing.

 

I'm still rocking my 1080Ti, gets me close to 100FPS at 1440p Ulra/High settings. I'm happy with it. Although I do intend to upgrade this gen cycle. But I am in no rush, likely will wait for normal availability, so Q1/Q2 2021.

I’m using a 3080 with a 1440p 165Hz G-Sync display and it’s really good IMO

how much fps are you getting in demanding titles?

since 3080 is roughly 30% faster than 2080ti/ 3070

I held onto my gtx970 for 6 damn years, you see I am not do frequent upgrades,

some way I wish to grab a GPU  to perform well enough for 5 yrs

The better buy for 144Hz 1440p right now IMO is the 3070, that said I can guarantee we'll see a 3070Ti and a 3080Ti in the future as well. Market gap is very clear.

if you want to get a GPU to last you the longest go for the best one on the market.

if you are looking for 1440p/144hz gaming, 3070minimum, i'd recommend a 3080 or 6800XT (amd does better at 1440p)

That’s a long time for a gpu.  GPUs in my experience have had to be upgraded more frequently than CPUs.  That might have to do with the intel 4 core problem though.  To do 5 years with a gpu you’re going to have to beat the consoles. I sort of doubt that can be done with anything smaller than a 3700 or a 6800

how didnt the 970 age well? it has been 6 years and it is still capable of 1080p on medium/high settings

yes,at avg of 40fps, it's a bit frustrating 

now it's on 1440p med settings 30fps on 4ktv ...gaming experience..playable not great

Sound advice - my 3070 does pretty well at 1440p 144Hz but I can feel an upgrade coming on when stock of the 3080/6800xt become more plentiful.

so you aren't satisfied with 3070/2080ti ?

may be I shall have to wait for the next gen... hope amd will put enough pressure for nvidia  next launch sooner

I didn’t say I wasn’t satisfied, I basically bought the 3070 as a stop gap (upgraded from a 5700XT) with the aim of picking up a 3080 or 6800XT when prices normalize. 
The 3070 performs well at 1440p 144Hz but you can never have too much GPU performance.

I have feeling 3080 is sort of standard for 1440p 144hz, but not the sweet spot

Well, considering a few months ago, the 2070 Super / 5700XT was the sweet spot for 1440p 144 Hz, the 3070 is enough. Remember that anything over 100 FPS looks very smooth compared to 60 FPS; it doesn’t have to be 144 FPS or bust.
