I have around £800 to spend I'm looking at the FE atm but are any of the aftermarket cards better for the same money or cheaper?

I can vouch for the EVGA 2080 XC ultra. Quiet, cool, boosts to 1930-1950MHz out of the box. Eats up everything at 1440p @144Hz. Really happy with the card so far. I'd go aftermarket for better cooling etc over the FE.
Tbh if your going to splurge £800 on a GPU you might as well save and or borrow a bit more and get a 2080ti now they are under £1,000.... With a 'free' game
the 2080 has taken the mantle of the worst turing card (and the worst nvidia card in a while) imo snatching this dubious distinction from the 2070 after nvidia had a mini panic and made sure at least some aib 2070 cards were sold at the usual fantasy aib rrp at launch after seeing the the 2080 tank at its inflated launch prices shortly before.
The titular feature of the RTX cards is completely useless on 2070`s and rather poor on a 2080 with the ti at least putting in a just about passable effort in rtx with the best mainstream performance in non rtx stuff (albeit for a price)
£1000 for a card to disable RTX and run in DX 11 mode...oh but I guess you get a free game...
It was only a suggestion if you were already minded to spend £800 on an RTX card already!
BF5 is available for £37.99 is this really an incentive to buy a 2080 card? So you can’t run the features you bought in game at playable FPS
Wow I sometimes think I’m living in an alien universe.
The world has gone mad...
To be clear I am not, in the general sense, advocating buying any rtx cards!
Its was a comment that you may aswell get the 2080ti if you were already minded to pay quite a lot of £££££'s on an RTX card as the 2080 looks to be rather pointless for use with its titular feature and at least the 2080ti can play the bundled game just about passably with RTX' on' (unlike the two lower tier cards) at modern game resolutions.
With RT and DX12?
Wouldn't know, not tried it in BF5 yet!
I only played MP last night and that was in DX11. Held almost a constant 100+ FPS at 1440p All Ultra Preset. Hope to have a fiddle with the RTX when I get time.
Hmmmm.....
