I rarely see under 100fps in games. i7 6800k (true i7 none of that integrated video garbage) and 32gb of ram (with 4 empty ram slots). I always build with maximum upgrade potential in mind. I will either pick up another 980ti (or two) years later or some other used card cheap as possible. If need be I'll OC the cpu later as well. My last computer lasted me 10 years (with four different sets of video cards, a cpu upgrade and eventually maxing the motherboards memory capacity).
Point is, its usually not worth buying cutting edge looking at it from a cost/performance point of view. If the last gen cards smoothly play the current games on max settings all you are doing by spending more is "fluffing" your FPS or future proofing a bit. /2¢ Current gen cards are worth more when you resel them too, same concept applies to cars. Sometimes its cheaper or more beneficial to buy new than used. A 1070 will match your 980ti pretty much everything the last time I looked. They are currently <$250 used... |
I got the 980 ti classified new for that and used 1070s were about what new ones where. It runs everything now maxed out over 100fps. When it games come out that it can't run at a solid 60fps I'll upgrade simple as that. I get the best deal I can on a card at the time I need one.
you don't need current a current gen card to play games smoothly on max settings... you can usually get 2-3 years out of a good card. Then pick up another one in the $300 range and repeat. Sometimes you can get good enough deals to run double or triple sli for less money that perform about the same. This is less efficient (you'll need a real power supply) and is heavily dependant on the market. |
980ti wouldn't benefit from being run in SLI.
|
At 1080p...
|
Right but other cards have in the past... really kinda a shame nothing supports it hardly. I ran sli on my last couple of upgrades, probably won't bother in the future unless something changes.
|
This is comical. The verge butchered this so bad, they took the video down... however, others had saved it already :D
They have taken down the video and are reporting anyone that has uploaded the video. The folks that commented on it are still live though so you can watch the video there. |

Hmm that would do well in the file server Ive been needing to re-build :likecat:

So RTX2080 Founders performance is equivalent to GeForce 1080 Ti and is not worth the extra $$$ (GamersNexus conclusion).

I have nothing useful to add other than to say that I disapprove of the title change.

Gamer's Nexus review was pretty harsh, but with all the other big names reviews. It seems the RTX line (2080/2080ti at least) seem to be a great upgrade if you do higher resolution gaming.
Some of the RTX numbers posted were actually insane in other reviews once the resolution was bumped up. The RTX cards are very efficient with resolution scaling. All in all, depending on the prices. IMO, once more 2nd hand companies start putting out their RTX cards, It might just be worth it to grab the RTX for the new tech. My biggest worry at the moment is the bitcoin hype version 2 with the new cards. Really hope this doesn't happen. |

And we have no way of bench marking RTX not to mention anything to benchmark it against. Except for maybe titan xP.

As the guy who made the title change prior to the last title change, I approve of the last title change. :bowrofl:
TF2 FTW. |
CTF

Lol, i actually did upgrade in the past specifically to play TF2. I think I always spend $300 or so on a new card, but don't buy them, new - always open box or slightly used in order to buy higher end than i could afford otherwise.

Still works great today. |
TL;DW Apparently adding a water cooling solution to the RTX cards makes little difference in FPS. The RTX cards seem to be throttled with power limits. Adding a water cooled solution really is just a cherry on top to keep it cool, possibly in the realm of longevity. Basically temp wise, If EK can make a good block that covers the GPU/VRAM/VRMs it'll be good in that aspect. |
