Nvidia are going back in time to cut their prices? Are they really selling that badly?
So I paid £700+ for my 2080 a couple of months ago when I could end up looking at it being like £100 - £200 or so cheaper in the coming months? Really?
Well there is also Navi coming that could deliver the same performance for even cheaper.
Almost a year after release is not too long to see a regular price cut but this seems to be a reaction to Navi, so it was kinda expected to see Nvidia do something now.
To be honest this is the cost of buying a GPU at all
You practically have to buy them like a stock that has no return.. Spend two years or a third, wait until GPU's have a huge speed bump like they did from 900 to 1000, and then wait until just the right time to buy. This way you can then wait it out until next time.
Well I went from a 980 to this 2080, so a good upgrade I believe.
I'm thinking of making this upgrade as well, but in doing so I have to upgrade my CPU (an i7-4790k which will bottleneck the GPU) and by extension the motherboard and thus everything, so i'm holding off for a little bit.
Try a 760 to a 2060 👌
I miss the days between like 2005-2012 when a top of the line graphics card would cost you the equivalent of like 400USD, tops, with great budget alternatives available for 100-150USD.
Being a PC enthusiast used to be a lot more fun
Too little, too late, Nvidia. By the time my GTX 1060 croaks, AMD's Ryzen 3000 line is going to be out.
I'm on a 1080, but I can't upgrade because I have an older CPU
I can't wait until I can make a leap like 760 to 2060, except with a CPU as well. If I get enough money I'll try for an 80ti series and peak cpu.
I haven't had the feeling of owning a truly 'fresh' PC in such a long time. It's a pretty amazing feeling when everything is so instant. Especially when it's already so fast.
I feel ya brah, I have a i5 4670. I know I'm bottlenecking but I got it for a steal so I had to get it
I'm on a 960 and I'm gathering up cash to upgrade to the navi GPUs, but if Nvidia puts out something better and affordable then I just might go back with Nvidia
A 4790k isn't gonna bottleneck you, I have one as well. I'm making the jump from a 980ti to a 2080ti and you're only going to see CPU bottlenecking on very specific games regardless of the card you have. I'll probably give it a year before I jump CPU's so the newer intel gen goes down in price from AMD competition and weigh my choices then.
I did the same 980ti->2080ti, it's a fantastic card honestly.
I stuck a 2080 in my i7-920 build and it slightly bottlenecked it. GTA5 was by far the worse game and barely pulled 30 fps due to being CPU limited. Funnily enough Metro Exodus averaged about 50fps at 1440 with RTX on while my 6700k with the 2080 sits at a solid 60-70fps with the same settings. You won't be bottlenecked at all.
Deus Ex MK ran surprisingly well on the 920 too.
Heavily depends on what you're doing. Try playing Battlefield V multiplayer and see how completely strangled your 2080 is.
It just feels like the GPU market is so boring nowadays. Between how kong’s the GTX 1000 series took and AMD Vega being a major blowout we haven’t seen anything truly great at a reasonable price since maybe the RX480/GTX 1060 in 2016.
Now all we have to worry about is AMD possibly missing the mark again and nVidia driving its own resale prices through the floor.
literally just bought an rtx2080 three days ago
Did you get it on a credit card with price change protection?
No
What CPUs?
My mistake, sorry. I meant to say Intel's CPUs. But AMD is absolutely coming for NVIDIA too.
The one you're using as a table level
