Good luck!Well, I've just shipped off my 1080Ti that I sold for £315 so hope I don't get bumped.
This is what I don't get. If that is the case, why would anyone willingly turn it off?edit : im sure 3070 >= 2080 Ti with raytracing on, but my guess is < with it turned off
Tbh i was unsure whether to upgrade to the 2080ti from my Titan Maxwells, they destroy 99% of games i throw at it at 1440p. Just because your gpu is old does not mean its no good.Might be the best way to get value out of the 2080Ti is run it into the ground , only when you truly need to upgrade and not because you want to upgrade.
It's a powerful GPU and will run games another two years easily. If you bought it at launch and use it four years that's £300 a year or so.

Mate that’s a good card, does it do what you want it to do.
How comes? £149 more would have got you a brand new GPU that is faster, will get all driver optimisations going forward and has up to twice the RT/DLSS performance, comes with a game that will cost £30+ etc.I’ve picked up a second hand FE 2080Ti for £500 elsewhere. Would be a bit annoying if they start to drop even more but oh well, it’s a big upgrade anyway. Wish I was able to access the MM...

This is why I am puzzled why they don’t sell for £400 or less.
Not saying all people are like this, but I think some think OMG, £1000+ GPU for £500?? Bargain... Rather than looking at it the way I did above.I'm with you there.
At £400, I'd be tempted by a higher tier 2080 Ti as long as it had some warranty left.
But at £500, no way Jose.
It doesn't work like this. There is a big different between 500 and 650 for a lot of people. I earn enough to be dumping into funds each month, but even to me 150 is still a lot of money.£149 more would have got you a brand new GPU that is faster

but that said I also do not understand why even frugal individuals aren't just waiting, or trying to drive the 2080ti market down even more...

There is little uncertainty in being able to pick up a 3080 on launch if ready to order on release day I recon, so I feel my point stands. The only thing I do agree with is if ones budget can’t quite stretch to that extra £149 for some reason.I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Who knows if the 3070 will perform as promised? Who knows if it will be readily available in October, or instantly sold out and resold by scalpers at ridiculous prices? £500 for a 2080Ti might turn out to be a steal.
I know I’m pleased with the MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Super I got for £375 off eBay. Some were saying that's what a 2080Ti should be worth right now but I disagree. That's 2060 Super pricing, and there won’t be a replacement for that card from Nvidia till next year most likely.
Uncertainty, risk and time all have a cost associated. This should be basic!
HahaYeh, big but's.
I'm not sure I like big but's.
True I;ve been a forum member on here for years and years but I don't feel the need to post all the time or very little. The 1k posts for me seems to be more about activity than actually anything else.I’ve picked up a second hand FE 2080Ti for £500 elsewhere.
