Cause if it is, then ****. Found one on Gumtree, should've pounced on it? Condition was good. Is $400 used a good price for this card?
Is a Used GTX 1080Ti for $400 a Good Deal?

So will $400 be a good deal for a 2080ti? It could be a good upgrade from my 8GB rx 580.
Don't pay more than $500 for one
Things is there will be plentiful of sore bum buying that 2080 at double the price and refuse to acknowledge the market changes
the new 30XX series basically made all current GPU's worth potatoes.
3070 in particular. For $700-800 you get a card that can smash anything on the market right now.
Claimed, no 3rd party testings just yet.
glad i sold my 1080ti 2 months ago for $850 lol
its going to be a cosmic slaughter out there soon.
Yeah I sold my one too for $800. I think non ray tracing cards might be done now. At least for people who would part with cash for a former premium model.
As somebody out of the loop, is ray tracing at all important for people who aren't heavily into gaming? I want to play the new cyberpunk game, microsoft flight simulator, I like playing racing games occasionally (just single player, offline). Should I care about ray tracing or no?
I should amend that the GTX cards will also do ray tracing now albeit slower.
The FS2020 and Cyberpunk game will need a fairly good modern PC (ssd,ram,cpu,gpu)
Someone may offer a better answer than I may. But I think cyperpunk and flight simulator would definitely make use of ray tracing.
Ray tracing is still and emerging, so expect it to become more prevalent within the next few years. The 2000 series cards were the first cards with Ray tracing, so the tech was still new. Now that the 3000 series cards are out the technology has somewhat become consolidated.
I think I was watching linustechtips or some other youtuber, but they said that the 2nd generation of each new iteration of technology offers the biggest improvement, for e.g nahelem vs sandybridge processors back in the day.
Also there is so much value offered with the new cards, a 3070 being better than a 2080ti on paper for so much cheaper.
Yes and no, if you want real time shadow effects then yes. However that depends also on your screen are you going to be playing on a monitor can output 4K or even 1440p?
Why is that? Are they going to be super cheap?
nice one. i can't even get that much for my 2080ti haha
I would say that is the floor price for 1080Ti, it probably won't get any lower. not in the short term anyway. It might go down after release of lower end 3060 or if AMD comes up with a mid-range option right out of the game.
If you are 100% sure it was not a mining card then go for it.
Very good price according to eBay history
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=GTX+1080Ti…
Those people are dreaming thinking they'll get $650+ for a 1080ti.
A month or two and $150 more you can get yourself something two generations ahead. For reference the 1080ti is roughly the same as a 2070 and…
As amazing as the previous generation of GPUs were, Nvidia claims that the new GeForce RTX 3070 is 60-percent faster on average than the GeForce RTX 2070.
Those are sold prices mate, that's the prices they got.
i saw 1080ti's go for 650 during the 2018 mining bust
technologically i would wait and see how ray tracing/dlss evolves but hey its 2020 the year markets go cray cray
DLSS has already more than proven itself eg. 1920x1080 rendering upscaled to 4K having higher image quality than 4K native rendering at close to double frame rates.
Personally I love RTX effects but some people seem less impressed by reflections or GI for some reason.
Just wait and get a new 3070
If you are in need for a GPU now and can't wait then I guess it isn't a bad deal but if you can wait a couple months I would get an RTX 3000 card as they are quite a bit faster and have newer features that the 1080ti's don't have such as Ray Tracing.
Yes. Only weeks ago they were worth twice that, which isn't far off what they were worth new (before mining sent the prices skyrocketing!)
Soon 2080tis will be that price, a 3070 will be about $750-800 brand new.
