Posted November 19, 2018 What would you all go for 1) save as much money as possible 2) get a better cooler for some extra cash 3) get a better GPU but worse cooler because the previous card is close enough anyway 4) Go all out 5) RTX is a scam Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/996940-2080-vs-2070/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 19, 2018 Im going to stick with my 1070 until it cant play games at max settings above 45FPS at 1080P. because then i wont be able to use Gsync anymore and that will make me sad. At which point itll get passed down to my server so i can couch game with in-home streaming.

The other 2080 is too expensive and not worth the extra cost while the 2070 doesn't make sense when you can get a 1070ti for really cheap.
