Davee Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi guys, I have gone to Oculus S VR and also decided to upgrade my Vid Card to gain better fps and better graphics clarity. I have a good running 1080 and want to upgrade but budget is a BIG issue. A ti series is not affordable. I see that the new RTX 2070 Super card is whithin my budget. I guess the real question is: is it worth the upgrade to the RTX 2070 super at this time or wait a bit? I understand that an RTX 2080 super is on the doorstep. I do not intend to switch to AMD. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a nice improvement over the 1080.

Not enough difference in performance for the buck. Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svsmokey Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) This makes sense as the 1080ti outperforms the 2070 super by quite a bit. Will check around for resellers. Nice tip. That is not what i have been reading . The 2070 super will go toe-to-toe with the 1080ti in gaming benchmarks . Synthetic benchmarks , as above , seem to be poor predictors of actual gaming/simming performance . Look at the vid by Benchmark PC Tech on youtube . And the 2070S is new , with a warranty for $500 . The 1080ti used (abused ?) Sells mostly around $550 .

Delta59R Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 They do look to be more expensive now, I picked mine up for 475.00 on CL and remember 450 being a common sell price for a period but at 550 its a tough call.

Davee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Or wait for the 2080 Super. This is what I have decided to do and then compare specs. and price. Thanks to everyone for their much valued information. This is a great group to glean information from that sorts out the hype from the data.
