Wonder how much I can get for my first-party NVIDIA 1080 Ti 11GB Founder’s Edition?
They’re still stupid-priced when new for bitcoin, but used is used.
2080 prices starting to drop like rocks now. This was $840 a few weeks ago. Now $703 , and its pretty much on part with the new 2070Super in terms of performance, which costs $499.
Custom 2080’s were/still are ridiculously overpriced.
Well sure, the 2080 is obsolete.

On clearout. Anyone know if there are compact PCB 2080s?

The 2060S MSRP is $399, why would you waste the $120?
Does the small form factor cost more?
Also relevant as mentioned above.

No real reason for me to go for a shorter card since my Fractal Design Node 304 can take full length I guess.
Are we still talking video cards here?
Finally jumped from an EVGA GeForce 960 GTX (4GB) to the EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (SC Ultra Gaming). That’s such a significant jump, and I’m not concerned overmuch with ray tracing, that I don’t mind that the price is still a little more than I would normally have paid for a video card. I definitely got my money’s worth from the 960 and I hope this will last me at least 3 years (the 960 was bought in July 2015, so over 4 years). I benefit from not needing top-of-the-line graphics and speed for my type of gaming.
Yeah that is a fantastic upgrade. Like going from a 960 to a 1080 but with added DLSS and RTX stuff.
Anyone getting the Radeon 5700 (non-XT)? It looks nearly as good as the 2060 Super but for $50 less. One hesitation I have is that only the blower design is currently available - reviews say it’s fine but what does @stusser think?
I don’t think either Navi makes sense at their current pricepoints when the 2060S exists. I would buy a 2060S.

My mouse cursor has hovered over the checkout button with a RTX 2080 super in the cart this morning. I had buyers remorse even just thinking about doing it.
I’ve reached the point where I regret buying my 1070 a few years ago now because there isn’t anything worthwhile upgrading to which has a sane price point.

Because I always buy a new graphics card every 3 years or so. :)
Its getting to the point where the 1070 isn’t sufficient for my ultrawide monitor. And I was thinking about switching to a 4k monitor but nothing has 4k performance with some overhead yet. Suppose I should stop being impatient and just wait for Ampere.
The blower on Navi is good. It moves a lot of air and that’s the dominant sound — no weed whacker. There’s lots of room for easy thermal improvement as well to make it even quieter (I haven’t bothered yet but I will). My anniversary edition maintains clocks near 2.1 GHz continuously when gaming (I selected auto-undervolt in the settings).
I am supporting AMD this cycle all the way around, and it’s a relative bargain. Ray tracing is not a real feature to me anyway below the 2080S due to the super low performance when using it.
All the reviews say you shouldn’t buy a reference 5700 or 5700XT under any circumstances because the reference cooler is garbage.
Not all of the reviews say that, and I’m telling you mine isn’t. What noise there is is in the less-annoying frequency range. It’s also very easy to improve.
