Hope this isn't a duplicate, I couldn't find it on a search.
8GB variant
Staticice has the cheapest currently at $1,099
9 in stock. I know this is below the 10 required officially, but will leave to mods to decided whether to publish/unpublish
To some, $400 isn't a bit more :)
Hence why I'd rather get the 1080 ti for like the same performance + more vram lol
fair enough
I guess it comes down to is ray tracing worth 200 bux…(and id assume longer drive support given its quite a bit newer.)
If people dont have the extra $400 they probably shouldnt be buying a $1000 card, they should be buying a far cheaper card.
If you can find 1080tis it's definitely a viable alternative, but stock is dwindling unless you're ok with second hand stuff.
Hopefully the 2080's get some permanent price drops this year. I bought one at Launch and it's a good card, but I was fully aware that it wasn't a "good deal". I wanted those RTX features and the more forward looking architecture since I'm going to have it for several years to come, but I would have loved the extra 3GB vram too…
Nvidia are releasing a pair of 'Super' (their words) cards in June.
Rumors are that they're around 2070 / 2080 level to take the wind out of Navi.
It seems like weird branding for upper-mid range cards, so I'm not fully convinced the Super tease was for GPUs specifically, or if it was, then that it was for 2070 tier stuff. I guess it could be a range-wide refresh where all the cards get higher spec GDDR6 and slightly higher clocks or something for the same price (or a tiny drop). But it could also be something to do with Tegra processors (they used "Super" in conjunction with the Tegra X1 in the past).
I'd just get the 1080 ti for $800 or pay a bit more for the 2080 ti for $1400 :P
