Well, TotalButtcancer didn't buy one, that's for sure.

are you a poorfag or something?

Have to agree. Current computer is like 5 years old and I'm planing to build a new one. but current parts are making me want to put that on hold for now. Shame too. I got lots of fucking money to go all out

If you are upgrading your card now, you don't really have much of a choice. Unless you wanna go gamble with mining used cards.

i think ill buy a new computer soon, might get a 2080 actually

>I got lots of fucking money to go all out
RTX series is indeed overcharging for what is probably going to end up being a gimmick, even though the technology behind it is very much real.

But you see, a 1080 Ti was around $600, a 2080 is $700. They perform about the same, so if you are "going all out with your money", just be aware you'll pay that $100 more for what is essentially a gimmick technology you may never use.

2k USD got me 2080, 2700x, high end asus mobo, 3200hz ram, m2me ssd, etc. Unless your funny money is worth less than my funny money, that's pretty overkill unless you wanna do something insane.

2 OMEGALUL 8 OMEGALUL

Should have bought Pascal when you had the chance. Hell, even when RTX was first shat out it was pretty clear that it was a bad deal.

Sorry, user, but I'd hold on to your money and just wait for the next gen.

i need to get a display and keyboard too

Wait, what's wrong? I've been planning to replace my GTX780 by the end of the month with either RTX2070 / RTX2080 / Radeon VII. I couldn't stomach playing current games at medium settings at below 60fps for another year. Plus, there are many great games this year like Phoenix Point and Dying Light 2 and I wanna get my PC ready for them.

>ray tracing is a gimmick
Congrats, you win the stupidest comment on the internet award

Buying an rtx card is almost as bad almost as bad as buying a physx card, I say almost because at least it's still partly a normal GPU but you still paid to be barebacked in the ass

I did buy Pascal. I got a GTX 1080 Ti at a price drop right before the cards were announced with EVGA step up primed, so I'd only pay the difference in case the new cards were better. I decided to go for the RTX 2080 anyways just for the RTX gimmick, but I think the smartest choice for anyone would have been to pick up a 1080 Ti and just hold off until the next gen.

It's a bit cruel on anyone who didn't upgrade to Pascal though waiting for the current RTX gen. There are souls out there on the 970, a card from fucking 2014 (That's when fucking Dark Souls 2 came out) who were waiting for this gen and will be told to wait "a bit longer" for the next one since this one is not worth it either. I'd say just do it. Yeah, it's less cost-efficient, but are people really going to wait for another year or two so they can save $100?

And you win the worst reading comprehension award. I said Ray-Tracing will probably end up being a gimmick in the hands of Nvidia, which will likely be the case at it's time. While also saying on the same fucking sentence the technology behind it is solid and likely the future. Calm your rage boner and try to understand what you read.

ray tracing in it's current implementation IS a gimmick

in 6 years or so when it's in every game it won't be, just like physx

You gotta start somewhere. If ray tracing doesn’t become de facto a standard feature of every game in ~5 years I will be very disappointed.

But I bought an Athlon 200ge APU!

>just like physx

The best part is the RTX cards have some issues with running Physx already. For example, my 2080 absolutely dies if I turn the feature that uses it in Fallout 4. I was experiencing terrible FPS drops until I figured it out and some people were discussing it's happening in another few games that use PhysX. I really wonder if the next gen of cards will be the "RTX 2180" or if they will just abandon the concept for now until it's more fleshed out in the future.

I am that guy. I wanted to upgrade my 980.
Now I just wait for the next generation. Maybe also not. Since I still can play recent games on 1080p...

Attached: gaimor.jpg (900x1200, 144K)

Is there going to be a major CPU/GPU release in 2020/2021 to keep up with next-gen consoles? I want to upgrade at least my CPU right now but i feel like it might be a waste of money if they are gonna release more powerful hardware suited for next-gen only titles

Attached: 23456789965432464.jpg (1000x1333, 511K)

my 970 still runs pretty much anything at 1080p60 at high so I still don't need to upgrade. This thing is probably going to be my longest used card ever

I spent almost 5 years on the 970 before getting a 144hz monitor this year. Even though the 970 was "fine" for 1080p at mostly good settings even all this time later, I figured it was time to splurge and overkill it a bit, at least once in my life. I heard the pleas of "wait until next gen, it will be better!" but decided no matter what, I'd make a decision and buy either a next gen card or the 1080Ti if the price was good enough and the new gen had nothing worth it.

It's a bit of a meme but it's true. If you wait for the "best deal" gen you may be waiting for 4 years or more. And again, to save what? $50? $100?

>people shittalk the 970 for the 3.5
>prices fall down dramatically
>buy one
>still serves me well after all these years
Thanks for the outrage, faggots. Got a good deal.

You buy a 1080ti and wait out this gen and perhaps the next. Unless you fell for the 4k meme.

Get a used 1080ti, preferably with transferable warranty. That way nvidia doesn't get any money and they are pretty reasonably priced if you be a dick on ebay and bid in the last 10 seconds

even 10xx cards can't run physx, it's just too much of a resource hog

Yeah, no reason to upgrade if it's fitting your needs. Imagine getting a card like the 970 now though. $330 for a card that's still performing solidly on pretty high settings and 60 fps this far down the line. Meanwhile the current RTX 2070 is approaching the $500 mark and I somehow doubt it will be still performing so well in 5 years from now.

this
I've been on a 290 pretty much since the start of this console gen but it's pretty much on par with the 970.
No reason to upgrade unless you really want 60fps/4K in the newest games.
Gotta add more RAM though.

Attached: speccy.png (494x394, 20K)

what's a reasonable price for not used 1080ti right now?

Yeah, but what I mean is it's actually bugged in it's current state in quite a few games. I was running Fallout 4 (after uncapping) easily over 144 fps at max settings, even with the Ultra godrays setting that is known to kill it. Then turning on anything Physx on lowest setting cut the fps down to sub-60, hovering closer to 40.

I also thought I was going insane when I played Destiny 2 today and my fps was hovering around 70-90, when I remembered it being locked at 144fps the previous days. I figured it was just the new area that was more demanding or something, then I saw one of the latest windows updates specifically states "lowered mouse and gaming performance in some software (eg. Destiny 2)." Now I don't know if that last one is just Microsoft's fault and affecting all cards but I have a feeling RTX cards support will be a bit bumpy.

New Ryen is out in a few months, I'd wait for that at least.

This is exactly why you always wait for a revision or 2 before buying new tech.

My 1080 runs Borderlands 2 at 144fps capped unless there's Physx effects nearby, in which case it goes down to ~30.

Kind of unrelated, but what’s a good price for a used R9 Fury X? I’ve been thinking of getting one for my second PC. Also does anyone here still use one of these?

Attached: 0C6A6310-7EE4-41C5-9A9C-9902BAFE92A6.jpg (666x460, 23K)

Not used? Still $1000 or more, in fact lately the prices on them climbed due to RTX being a colossal failure. Also I don't know where you're located, you can get very good deals in the US occasionally, not so much for Europe, generally speaking of course.

is one 2080 better then two 1080s? They're about the same price and I dunno which to get.

Attached: 1539654952561.png (1092x832, 1.08M)

Swapping the 1080 Ti for the 2080 only cost me $50, but the 1080Ti I had was a high end model and now it's a lower tier gen 1 model. That may be the real price I pay here for adopting early, not even the RTX meme.

I have a 780

I don't feel bad upgrading to what will be a 2080 ti because if things were different for me I would've been rocking a 1080 ti currently anyway.

2080 works much worse for overclocking due to excessive power limitations and has shittier builds across the board.

At least you didn't go full retard and spend 1300 dollars on your new GPU like so many others did.

Jeez. And people joke about RTX "cutting fps in about half". At least I can play the RTX games above 100 fps with RTX on with a decent card, that just seems sad.

I've never seen a case of two cards (SLI) significantly outperforming a single card of same price. I'd honestly avoid SLI just for the headache of games properly supporting/tweaking you may have to do.

1 stronger card will always be better than 2 weaker cards, also SLI is completely dead at this point and hardly any games at all support it.

Nice. At least I get to play Quake 2: Doom 3 edition with Path-Tracing, right?

Jesus fucking christ that's loud

>SLI
Why are animeposters always retarded?

Enjoy your microstutter and the game not properly utilising both cards.

mining ruined everything, it's gonna be at least two gens until the pricing is back to normal

2080 is a good buy now that the 1080ti can no longer be bought. Also the 2080 price dropped below msrp in a lot of places.

never fucking bother using SLI it's total shit for games, its only real use in 2019 is workstation rendering.
Unless you love waiting for driver updates to fix compatibility on a per-game basis that will never come and having the second card disabled for 98% of games because it causes either crashing, artifacting or actually makes your framerate worse. Then in that case go right ahead

I'm glad I asked, I never realized SLI was such garbage. Thanks anons

It costs twice as much as the 1080ti when it came out and is only 30% faster on average. The 1080ti was the same price as the 980ti and almost twice as fast. Even coming from a 780, I wouldn't recommend the trash fire that is the 2080ti to anyone

This. All cards this gen are a bit overpriced for basically the same performance equivalent performance on last gen, but the real ripoff is the 2080 Ti.

Consider the 1080Ti release price of $700 vs the 2080 of $800 for the same performance. Then the 2080 Ti is fucking $1200. They knew there's people who always buy the highest end card every gen even if it's completely overpriced and went all out.

First wait for Zen 2, then get the least jewed GPU, 1TB SSD and get decent low latency RAM if you can afford it after all that (14-15CAS latency at 3000Mhz and up). Oh and don't get memed into buying some ridiculous power supply, just get a decent 600 watt one, modular bronze or silver - whatever.

Would zen 2 worth it. i have 1080ti and old 4670k. Should i wait till amd cpus, or upgrade to intel now?
I was on the fence between 8400 and 8700k

Add gsync to the list

Wait for ryzen 3 this year

Going off rumors I would say wait, we could be looking at 4.5-5Ghz 6/12 cores at sub $300 with Zen 2

Same. The only reason to hate on a 2080 or an RTX in general is because you can't afford it.

I wouldn't go intel unless you play csgo, in which case you probably have bigger problems. If you have to upgrade now, get AMD, because you can reuse the mobo. Otherwise just wait, Zen 2 should be a game changer, and your cpu is still a good one. Intel doesn't make them like they used to.

That sounds really sweet. Then i will probably gather some money for the 1tb ssd cause i have time.

Your fault for buying rtx you dumb fuck

Anyone?

No I didn't, I bought a 2080ti you poor faggot, enjoy eating pop tarts for dinner in your third world shithole.

Yeah we can only hope they'll follow through, they should be out in the next 2-3 months.
You could look into getting a nice NVMe m.2 SSD as well cause pretty much all new motherboards have at least one m.2 slot on them, though they are a bit pricier but the speeds are insane

The best games doesn't even need a 1050 to perform well

But Anthem seems to need a pretty powerful card. Then again, it does look beautiful.

>m.2
Is it worth the price? I know the speed is few times faster then usual ssd but the usual already very fast, would m2 really make a big difference and not some fractions of second?

m2 isnt faster its just less cablework and management, it's a meme for a reason

I don't think it does make a big difference in game load times over normal SSD, Windows is probably a little bit faster. No cables is a definite plus though, fuck sata cables

It isn't much faster, particularly for regular use, but since you don't even need a dvd drive anymore, you can have literally everything connected directly to your motherboard, and its beautiful

Man, I've been sitting on a GTX 770 for years, been wanting to upgrade for a while but there's always been some problem every generation.

970 3GB problem
1000 series mining problem
2000 series fucking overpriced for a barely difference making thing

Attached: 1uPaM3V.jpg (2298x3264, 1.33M)

on one hand i believe you guys that RTX is garbage and a meme but on the other hand you idiots said that about 4K and 4K is unironically based

RTX is amazing and the future. But in it's current implementation it's basically "hey, we got it to run real time with extremely powerful cards and it doesn't even completely destroy performance, just mostly!" Maybe that's what people meant with 4K. Of course 4K is amazing, but it took a while to get to a point where cards can run it on a satisfying 60fps and even now it's not guaranteed on newer games, especially on the highest settings.

tl;dr Both things are memes when the push to become standard starts happening but worth it when it gets there.

There aren't any, and they don't actually outperform the 2080 so if you can't get one for less than $500 then don't fucking bother. Fact is, if you need a grafix card, RTX is fine, it's obviously a meme generation but it's better than buying AMD or waiting until the next gen. Now, if you're NOT looking for a top of the line card, your options expand dramatically and easily include AMD.

4K just werks, RTX sure as fuck doesn't

>I got a switch instead
LOL

Honestly, as nearly 40 year old man with a family, a house to run, career to contend with and other adult responsibilities - I just don't have the time to game like I used to when I was a carefree teen, festering in my bedroom all day. I would often start a game and never finish it. I was really starting to think I had just outgrown the hobby. I just don't have the time anymore.

But the Switch has given me that time back. I can just pick it up and take it anywhere - even just around the house. Whether I'm working in the study, cooking in the kitchen, chilling in the backyard, keeping my baby stepson company while he falls asleep or simply relaxing in bed - the switch is always there to fill in the cracks of my day. And if I get more time to myself, I can drop it in the dock and play on my 60" tv in the lounge.

The Switch is a fucking Godsend. It's perfect for the busy nuanced lifestyles of adults. Bedrooming dwelling teens can't understand the appeal and are no-doubt baffled by its success.

Where on earth did you find a new 2080 cheaper than a 1080 Ti? Or do you just mean because their prices have inflated like hell? Remember it was $700 on release and easily acquirable new for $650 before the RTX cards dropped.

No, Raytracing is a literal scam, they are pushing it as the 'next big thing' just to justify selling cards for 1000+ USD, they first were taking advantage from minners, and now the crypto has crashed yet again, they are keeping the prices just to take adventage of the gamers or pc enthusiasts, if you're for some reason, really into shinny reflections at least wait the price drops to buy a fucking rtx card.

Oh okay you are just trolling.

Why? What amazing current games are already pushing your 2070 to it's limit that you feel you have to upgrade?

During the crypto bubble people were buying cards regardless of the price, that's why they started to inflate the GPU prices, and Nvidia knew the minners would pay for it anyway, the massive prices inflations didn't stop the minners, and now that the crypto bubble it's over they're still trying to make you pay more for less, Raytracing it's scam, "IT'S THE NEXT BIG THING, BUY, BUY, BUY", they said the same exact thing last generation, and they been saying the same thing for decades, but now they're trying to sell it for more than 1000 USD, pretty much what Apple does to it's customers, and they're retarded enought to pay it.

Just look at the prices, it literally cost 200 USD than 1080 Ti at lauch

If money is not a concern and you want an upgrade to the 1080Ti, then sure, the RTX 2080 Ti is pretty much the only thing you can upgrade into, for pretty much double the price though.

What's wrong with AMD GPU's?

>$100 extra
>Got my 2080 for over $100 cheaper than the 1080 ti

The best card to buy right now is a 2060, dont fall for the ray tracing meme on 2070 and up. Has overall great performacne just slightly worse than a 1080 but there is still OC. And AMD is a meme in the GPU and CPU department.

You haven't seen the i9 then.

No you didn't. That's my entire point. A GTX 1080Ti does not fucking cost $1000 because it's currently out of stock and extremely overpriced everywhere. A GTX 1080 Ti is $700, ideally $650, if you paid more than this for your RTX 2080 you are paying premium for the "RTX Tax".

Do you believe GTX 1080s are $800 too because that's the price listed on Amazon for the last few cards?
