Anyone with an RTX 2080 @ 4K?

[atomicus]

Seems impossible to start a conversation about the 2080 without it inciting hate and accusations of it being a pointless card and "buy 1080Ti instead", but I will try regardless...

 

All I really want to know is if anyone has one and is gaming at 4K, and what your experiences are? Are you having to turn down details to get comfortable FPS, and if so are you happy with the graphical compromise (if any) that you're having to make?

 

I know the 2080Ti is the true 4K gaming card, but I'm ONLY curious about the 2080 and user's actual experiences with it.

@iLostMyXbox21 Yes, I am well aware of the benchmarks. and that the 2080Ti beats the 2080 (obviously). That's not what I wanted to know. I wanted to know ACTUAL REAL WORLD experiences with the 2080 at 4K and how people are finding it. Are you having to turn down settings in certain games to achieve smooth enough FPS (if so what games), and if so is this acceptable given the graphical compromise that may need to be made... or at 4K is that compromise not really evident?

You're asking if anyone has these cards, that JUST came out. You won't get the exact answer you're looking for. You're going to have to go off of youtube & other benchmarks. Every card is different. YOU have to buy the card yourself you have to get the exact card you want. A FE will preform differently then another., YOU have to test it how you want. Benchmarks is the closing you're going to get without physically having the card in your hand.

Your opinion of graphical quality and being satisfied, will be completely different than someone elses.

Plenty of people have 2080's. 2080Ti's less so given the shortage. Perhaps most 2080 owners aren't at 4K though, who knows. But there are still a fair few.

 

Benchmarks answer a different question... how they compare at the same settings, not equalising for FPS.

 

Of course it's going to vary person to person, and also game to game... that goes without saying... but an opinion of someone who's experienced it is better than no one at all and at least goes a small % of the way to offering some insight.

IF a 1080 Ti is preforming how you like it, a 2080 Ti will only be better. It's going to be fine at 4K, just buy a card, and test it for yourself & see if you're happy.

 

You can always return it.

I'm getting fantastic FPS in 2K with my 2080.

 

I would imagine 60fps is very doable in most stuff at high-ish in 4K. It's basically the same as the 1080 Ti, so results from those cards should be quite similar.

In fact, for 4K the RTX 2080 tends to pull ahead of the GTX1080Ti, even at 1440P, the RTX 2080 draws or pulls ahead most of the time...

You can say that about anything but not everyone can just afford the Ti that easily,  maybe the 2080 is more catered towards his budget at the moment

When you are right, you're right.

 

 

I'm very happy I got a 2080 over a 1080 Ti. Can't remember last I was this content with a purchase honestly.

[reptileexperts]

running a 2080 at 3440x1440 which is approaching 4k demand, at 120hz. Using my 2080 with an 8700k I see the following

 

PUBG: 80-110 FPS maxed

Far Cry 5: 80-90 FPS Ultra Quality

Shadow of The Tomb Raider: 56 avg bench mark maxed, 90 avg turning down some shadows, turning off TSAA no motion blur and hairworks of course off

Destiny 2: Maxed - 100-120 fps depending on draw distance in the scene and number of NPC / Players

Blackops IV Maxed - 120

Forza Horizon 4 benchmark - 88 avg. 

Ring of Elysium "maxed": 90-120 most of the time

Assassin's Creed Odyseey: 56 fps with some settings turned down - benchmark result in game its much better so far. 

Assassin's Creed Origins: 72 FPS with some settings turned down - benchmark result

 

A good 4k Gsync 60hz monitor should do well with a 2080, but without gsync most games will likely need a step down in settings to be smooth. AC series (newer) and shadow of the tomb raider likely wont be enjoyable at 4k

[Froody129]

Just take the benches for the 1080ti. They perform the same. They're going to feel the same too. I don't know what you're asking for

4K is three million pixels more than 3440x1440 (approx 8.2m vs 4.9m), so it's not accurate to say that it's "approaching 4K"... 4K actually has 67% more pixels to push!

 

That said, it's evident from benchmarks that the 2080 (like the 1080Ti) is still a competent GPU at 4K, and G-Sync will only aid that further in the instances where it struggles slightly. The 2080Ti beats it for sure, but the value is appalling.

about the same performance for a much higher price tag. Still not judging.

Well, it really depends on where one is and the local tech prices, for example, in my neck of the woods, an MSI GTX1080 Ti GX Trio is just 37USD (converted from local currency) cheaper than an MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio. An Asus Strix GTX1080 Ti OC is just about 67USD cheaper than the Palit RTX 2080Ti I'd gotten. A Zotac GTX 1080 Ti Blower is 104USD cheaper than the Zotac RTX 2080 AMP, while the Zotac GTX1080 Ti AMP is just 57USD cheaper than its sibling, the RTX 2080 AMP.  Seriously, you're in position to judge because prices vary from country to country.....not all of us are from the U.S. of A.

This is totally valid. And at risk of taking my own thread off topic ha, it also completely ignores the future benefit that WILL be seen in RTX games. Anyone who thinks RTX won't be levied in some games in the near future is deluding themselves. It MAY not be relevant if those games aren't of interest, but anyone buying a 1080Ti today is taking a gamble on that given we just don't know. Of course, one could argue buying a 2080 is a risk also, if the user never ends up wanting to partake in any of those RTX experiences... but I know where I'd rather put my money, and it isn't on old technology that's already hit its absolute peak, and where I know for a fact that any and all RTX content would be out of bounds for me. I'm not about to willingly exclude myself from something that may be an extremely significant gaming revolution... even if there is a chance it may not. But that's just my own personal stand point on it.

[IceCold008]

At the end of the day. Anyone which has a 1080ti should keep it unless money is no object then go 2080ti.

 

For anyone else thinking of getting a 2080 or 1080ti. Should get the 2080 instead for future RTX games or get the 1080ti with the increased vram. Might be better getting the extra vram if you plan on playing games at 4k. 

 

TBH its a hard choice.50/50. More vram over a slight better preformance and future RTX games "IF they get released"

Not many games are utilising that extra VRAM though, and then there is DDR6 vs DDR5 to consider (this will vary). I think it's a case of looking at benchmarks for specific games you want to play and seeing how they compare. There is no doubt that the 1080Ti has hit its peak though. As drivers mature for 2080, it can only get better (and Pascal perhaps left to wither), so there is that to consider. I don't doubt that for someone buying a new card today, there MAY be instances where the 1080Ti might be preferable, but ONLY if that extra VRAM is demonstrably required. Or if they simply can't afford a 2080 of course. In all other instances, and hedging bets on a positive future for RTX features, the 2080 would be the way to go. Buying a new 1080Ti today is a big middle finger to RTX and indicates belief those features will never amount to anything worth playing for the coming year or so. If that is someone's thinking though, fair enough, no one can definitively say otherwise as we just don't know.

[SolarNova]

The biggest deal breaker of the 2080 is the price difference between it and the 1080ti ..atleast in the UK

 

The cheapest 2080 is £710 - £720

The cheapest 1080ti is £580-£615

 

Theres no comparison there lol,

yep there is also the amount of VRAM issue if you play at 4k.

Only there are few games which even at 4K are using that amount of VRAM. So again, one needs to look at benchmarks for specific games they play. The 2080 does do slightly better than the 1080Ti in some titles at 4K, so if those titles are ones that someone plays, and they have belief/interest in RTX features for the future, then 2080 is the more obvious choice. There is no one rule for all here.

have you oced ur card yet? just wondering what ur average clock speed is as i was only able to hit 2010 average
