[SOLVED] Gtx 1080 TI or RTX ?

[93boba]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy a new card. Gtx 1080 TI is still performing very good. However, 2016 is manufacture year. Should I go for something newer, RTX instead?

Cheers.

If it does what you want why upgrade?

To be honest it depends on how you game and what specs and your mointor specs are like do you play in 2k or 1080P or 4k and such

Clearly I didn't write correctly. I'm considering to buy 1080 TI or RTX.

I wouldn't pick up a GTX 1000 series card now. It's two generations old.
There are better choices in the RTX 2000 and (hopefully soon) RTX 3000 series, probably for around the same price.

It depends what you play and resolution you play at. I have EVGA gtx 1080ti sc2 with 8700k and running none OC I can run Shadow of the Tomb Raider on max settings and get average 66fps at 1440p (SMAAT4x). With TAA only enabled and not the SMAATx2/4x then I get average 96fps on benchmark, X2 I get about 75fps average then x2 is the 66fps. I am looking at upgrading though to the TUF 3080 OC just because I can (technically can't though as no stock ha). ]

It is all down to your personal choice. Anyone can comment what they would do but do what you feel more pulled towards. If you don't, you'll regret it.
