2080ti worth it?

[BronzeJukes]

Hey Guys!

Do you think it's a waste of money replacing my current with https://www.komplett.dk/wishlist/shared/18a072be-0e25-46b2-9bc6-0b9cae6d611d

I do some 3D graphic things (unreal engine, 3ds max, substance painter & photoshop.) and alot of gaming. Games like (Escape from Tarkov, Battlefield V, Shadow of Tomb Raider, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

If you're willing to pay extra for it, then sure. A 1080 ti is much better perf/$ tho.

 

You could probably save some cash by recycling your current PSU and storage.

a 1080ti is just as good for like $300 less

I need more fps than that can give me
1440p and 144hz

If you want more then sure, just as long as you're willing to swallow that price tag.

Yeah, well i am and i am not. pretty pricy for something that only gives 20-25% better performance than last card. i just dont wanna get fked very shorty after. if they annonce something much better very soon?

So you're saying you need 10 extra frames

? with that mindest get why not get a i9 9900k and 64 gb of ram? The 1080ti will last you for at least 5-7 years

It's highly possible we'll see 7nm GPUs sometime in 2019 that will give a solid performance jump. It's just a question of when exactly... Which I'm not that sure about.

 

A 1080 ti can do 1440p 144 hz fine if you lower settings to medium or high.

ok, wow 13 fps more

thats the problem, if i upgrade i dont wanna spend alot of money to turn down graphics

What games do you mostly play?

ah, yea, i forgot about that part HA. I mean, a new gpu is usually released every year, so if you have the money and the need for the gpu, then i would go for it. Maybe wait to see if there are any holiday deals

acording to some of the benchmarks i have watched it shoud be about 20-30 fps which is alittle closer to the 120/144 fps i need. above 100 and i am glad.

unoptimized games (tarkov, 7 days to die, etc). GG LOST. so i do plan to play battlefield V and new upcoming games, beyond good and evil, shadow of tomb raider, fallout 76 maybe.

Seems like you're not so much asking if the 2080ti is worth it so much as trying to talk yourself into it.

 

The benchmarks are out...the review floodgates are open... I'm sure between LMG, Gamers Nexus, JayzTwoCents, HardwareCanucks, heck even Craft Computing and many others...  I highly encourage you to not just take our opinions and the opinions of tech tubers as your only research, research for yourself heavily before dropping $1200 on a graphics card. If you believe it's worth it and can afford it then go for it.

 

Now if you want my opinion on the matter, it's going to align with many that have already posted. Right now IMO the 2080 might be worth getting if that person was already looking to get a new 1080ti anyway. That said, $100 toward a better CPU or maybe an NVMe SSD instead of a SATA drive could in many cases be a better bang for the buck...but for the price of the 2080ti, IMO it isn't worth the massive price difference. If you're wanting the new cards for the new architecture and ray tracing, you're really paying a very high "early adopter tax". The biggest question on many minds right now is if RTX takes off like it was promised before the new gen cards come out.

i try to get as many opinions as i can, to get more clear what to do, i just feel like i have been stuck my with this 1440p and 144hz and too low fps and settings for so long now, i am almost trying to talk myself into upgrading. but i know one thing 1080ti and 2080 is not good enough fps for me. i think came to a conclusion, to wait for new card again and hopefully it will be worth it, cause i feel like the 2080ti is just paying way to much for almost notthing.

Those I believe are more intense, so yeah, 1080ti probably can't do 1440p 144 fps at max settings.
