This is it, gamers!

Spoiler:

i preordered the 2080 gigabyte windforce bc it has more heat pipes now and my 1080 windforce runs like a champ and is quiet as fuck

plus that 2080 is only $790

also here's the vid of that faulty 1080ti I sent back

and switched it to the 2080 MSI Trio one, barely costs more for much better quality!

Did you read the article? It's looking like the 2080 is 5-6% better than the 1080ti. For almost twice the price. You're probably only going to see an advantage with games that use DLSS and Raytracing.

And games aren't going to be using it. The render cost scales fast with resolution, and it's really only intended for render farms. No sane dev is going to use it, VR devs already wrote it off. Stop wasting your money pillz.

you can't reason with shillz they'd rather waste their $2000 on shit they don't need rather than buy fucking VIDEO GAMES
oh wait this is probably better it means less threads by them

DrPillzRedux wrote:Getting a 2080 instead since it's slightly better than a 1080Ti and not much more expensive. 2080Ti is too much for only 30% tops. If it was 40-50% I'd get the Ti.

4k is a meme.

RTX cards can take advantage of async compute, hence why in Ashes of the Singularity and Wolfenstein the 2080 and 2080Ti blow the fuck out of pascal cards. If that and DLSS get implemented more often framerates can get rediculously high.

The MSI 2080 uses a custom PCB with a higher voltage limit, so it can be overclocked for +10-12% performance over the Nvidia FE cards. The MSI 2080 by default is 5-12% better than a 1080Ti, at the beginning of its life cycle. That means over 20% better performance when overclocked. That's not even with DLSS or async compute.

consider the following:
if you buy new cards quad-annually instead like a sensible person you will be able to run games at max settings in 1080p or even 1440p until you need to upgrade
