2000 Series GPUs Decisions

[jdzcrtr25]

Hello all! I built a gaming PC including an EVGA GTX 1070 Ti in May, NVIDIA launched the 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti GPUs just today.  I feel as though I'd like to get the new generation of GPUs, I guess what I'm asking is should I or even can I sell my 1070 Ti? And I'd prefer to go for the 2070 if I get into the 2000 series.  Would ditching a basically months old 1070 Ti for a 2070 even be worth it?

TBH there are no REAL gaming benchmarks yet, so I would advise waiting until those come in 3 weeks or so.

In my opinion no, but it depends on how much performance you're looking for. Just ask yourself, do you need tensor cores, or gddr6, or more cores? Most likely no, since the 1070 ti is already badass.

We don't know yet, there's no actual news on the gaming performance yet. Just the jeegereys.

I absolutely cringed when they spent the whole presentation talking about RAYTRACING

 

Here is the problem, games are developed very console centric. AMD has complete dominance in the console market. So if AMD doesn't support raytracing in next generation consoles, guess what? Most games probably won't have raytracing or pay cheap lipservice to its features.

 

 "Did you know that our video card replaced an entire super computer used in movie production?" Ya that is great Jensen, but why the hell would I care since this is a consumer card? Tensor cores and Raytracing isn't worth the ridiculous price tag especially when no one will waste money developing for it

depends on monitor and CPU if using 1080p 60hz not worth upgrading

I am using a Ryzen 7 2700X and am upgrading my monitor from a 60hz to around 144hz soon.

So the 2080 ti is supposed to be the Titan Card? from the pricing it seems that way. I would think that later down the road they will release somethig between the 2080  and the Ti version. I wonder why they didnt just announce the Titan T (Turing) for the $999 price

They claim the 2070 is the equivalent to the Titan XP.

Seems about right since the Titan X maxwell and the 1070 performed almost the same in games

There are no benchmarks for these new cards. But we'll find out in a few weeks.

 

I think I'll still be using my 1080 TI for a couple of years. When I built my PC back in 2012. The GTX 680 was the top of the line card at the time. I been using that for a couple of years until sometime last year. Is when i got a 1080 TI.

 

So I think we should stick with what we have. Until it gets to the point where a game you want to play runs like crap on a 1080 TI.

Same.

 

1080 Ti runs virtually every game I have perfectly on my 1440p 144hz Gsync monitor. I see no reason to "upgrade" (until now, there hasn't really be an upgrade) at this time.

Lol, they offer preorders for the RTX 2000 series cards when literally no one but Nvidia has the actual performance numbers. They're turning into EA lol.

In ray tracing.
