Rtx 2080 and i7 3770k

[mlamanna62]

I figure I have one gpu upgrade before a cpu upgrade, at least I hope

will I have a serious bottleneck going with a RTX 2080 or a gtx1080ti

current specs are :
i7 3770k oc 4.5
16g ram
gtx 980ti ftw
Asus 27" 1440 gsync 144hz
psu 850

I'd go with the 1080 ti. Seems like a LOT of people are finding that they have reduced performance with the 2000 series cards due to issues with the immaturity of the platform, drivers and game support.

Case in point:

I myself have about three other threads I'm working with members, one of which IS using a 3770k, and they cannot seem to even equal the performance of their GTX 1070 ti with their 2080 regardless of bios updates, clean install of drivers, fresh windows install, etc.

you will not have a serious bottleneck unless you are running high refresh rate and even then it should be fine. at 4.5 you should manage 144 just fine and as to the immaturaty of the platform DUH. it just came out get the 2080 if you can future proof and enjoy seeing the card get faster(weird right?) with better driver. honestly tho because of the tensor cores you are actually getting more for your money with the 2080. drivers should improve fairly rapidly. also @drakbreeze how did reviewers get their scores on benchmarks?

 

[Darkbreeze]

Your comments show a lack of common sense and experience. To say the least.

thx

I agree, get the 1080 ti at discounted prices while you can. No benefit to getting the 2080 at the moment.

 

[drivinfast247]

I'm just wondering where all these discounted 1080tis are. Everything I see is as much or more than the 2080.

1080ti stocks are fading. There is almost nothing left. Its not manufactured anymore and you can only find some last stock items at some places (or used ones). If you want 1080ti performance you need to go RTX 2080 I guess....at least you get the tensor cores. Might give a nice little performance boost when games start using the DLAA feature in upcoming titles.....

see what I'm saying

 

[Darkbreeze]

Honestly, as of right now I'd rather have a 750 dollar GTX 1080ti than a 780 dollar RTX 2080, with all of the problems I'm seeing over and over again throughout this entire week, here on Tom's alone, with the 2000 series cards and poor performance. I'm currently working about ten threads with these cards that have had EVERYTHING we would generally recommend to fix performance issues and nothing seems to help. And these are systems with very high end hardware around the graphics card.

The last time I saw performance issues like these was when the Witcher III was released and the performance on even 980 ti cards was horrible until things got settled via driver and game patches.

 

[drivinfast247]

Now that may be a little harder since they're no longer in production https://www.gamersnexus.net/industry/3387-hw-news-dying-2080ti-investigation-1080ti-stock-almost-gone

 

[chemmajorp53]

They haven't been in production for a while, they just had extra stock that they're now running out of

 

[Darkbreeze]

Exactly. I posted a link to a 1080 ti, aftermarket, not FE, for about 750 bucks. What more do you want to see? They're still in stock and available at the link I provided so I don't know what you keep going on about.

[mlamanna62]

Thank you for your help, will maybe wait another month or two

 

[Darkbreeze]

I think there definitely won't be any left by then. At that point you will probably be forced to go with a newer card. There are still some 1080 ti's left here:

Not sure if this was aimed at me but I wasn't replying to you

 

[Darkbreeze]

No, it was not meant to be a reply to your post.
