Just dropped in a 2080 Ti (£430 after putting in fresh pads for the stock cooler, was previously watercooled by owner) into my system connected to the TV. Hopefully able to push decent framerates at 4K.

Haven't overclocked it yet as I need to make sure the card is working fine first. The 5700 XT above is heavily overclocked (for a 1440p system). The +33% will likely be more like +50% once overclocked. Will be interesting to see if the gap is wider with Timespy Extreme.

I reckon I made the right choice not waiting for the 3070 and whatever AMD end up releasing.

Feel much better about this now.

Nice 55% bump over my main system at 4K. No scramble at 2pm.

Same thing will surely happen with the 3070.

Looks like a lot of the 2080ti's on ebay have sold for around £650 today :D

Lets say that a 3080 is more like £800 than £700 just now and is 25% above a 2080Ti in performance. That puts 2080Ti's at around £550-£600, compared to £450-500 before benchmarks yesterday.

I wouldn't pay more than £500, but still think £500 for maybe 3 months and getting £400 back is a good deal.

The reviews make me disbelieve that a 3070 8GB will beat a 2080Ti except in fully optimised ray tracing type stuff, so 11GB for a 2080Ti still has value imo at the same price.

A 2080ti in the hand is worth two 3080s in the bush.

Glad I didn't panic sell my 2080ti now just for a few extra fps.

I did post a couple of weeks ago stating people selling their 2080tis are silly and they're doing it at the card's lowest price point for at least a couple of months.

I think the 3070 performance reveal should sober up sellers. 2080ti owners have around 3.5 weeks before normie money realises a 3070 is about 0-8% faster.

once 3070 and 3080s are in circulation 2080tis will crash back to 400 I guess. Bravo to the sellers currently getting all they can off impatient buyers.

2080ti is still an amazing card, but you gotta be mad to spend the same amount on one when you could be getting a 3080 or 3070 for even less with comparable performance.

I sold my EVGA 2080Ti for £550 on 3080 announcement day. I sold it at that price to get rid of it quick, I priced it to be the lowest on ebay, needless to say it sold within an hour.

People who need the VRAM. IE, people not gaming. The same people who want to run multiples of them for business use.

Remember, it still has more VRAM than the 3080. So if you are doing anything that chows down on VRAM it will still be better at certain things. Plus you can get them, which is always a bonus like.
