if I remember correctly the 1080ti is on par with the 2070 super, not the 2060.I was talking about the Super variant.
My stepson has one and, yes the 1080ti is a little bit faster, but it is not significantly so. Only about 15% from the benchmarks I have seen And if one can use DLSS 2.0 and the other can't, that can more than make up for that difference and actually make the 2060S the better performer.
And that's what is meant by more modern features. DLSS 2.0 is almost indistinguishable from full res rendering at this point, and is sometimes actually better than native res rendering, all while performing much much better.
Also, while the 2060S only has limited capability when it comes to RT, it does support RT.
It also is on a slightly smaller process, creates less heat and noise.
It is, but he is also not wrong in saying that the 1080 Ti is about 15% faster than the 2060 SUPER.if I remember correctly the 1080ti is on par with the 2070 super, not the 2060.
If I was in the market for it I'd definitely choose the 1080ti, more ram, more raw power,not many games support DLSS2.0.
not many games support DLSS2.0.
LOL, you're joking right?
Hey, I still have a Strix 1080 Ti in my ancient 2600K rig. Mostly used for work but occasionally some light gaming in 4K/1440P. Proably my most cherished card at this point. I paid full price(no markup though) at launch for around $749 and no regrets about it although I was shocked when they started to go for over $1300 during the mining craze. In fact my only real regrets were the 2 1080's I'd bought for 4K, and they did o.k., for the one or two games that still supported SLI, but SLI died pretty much that generation.$350 for an EVGA 1080ti (even B stock comes with a warranty) would be a no brainer.... if the 3060/3070's were not peeking around the corner. But until we see actual performance numbers from a IRL card from a IRL reviewer (not canned Nvidia numbers) we don't really know how awesome those are.
Personally, in summer 2019 I bought a 1080ti used for $400 (sold my 1070 for $200) and for a $200 upgrade I have been very pleased with 4K gaming. Sure I have to tune settings here and there, but that's the nice thing about PC, we have the ability to do so. But this was all before the 3000's were not even in the rumor pipeline. At that time you couldn't even get a 2070 for $400.
You cannot buy a better card TODAY for $350. A month from now? 2-3 months? Might change. How long can you wait, LOL
edit - moot point anyway, those are already sold out
1080Ti pushing 1080 and 1440 displays still maxes out modern game settings while getting 100 FPS.
It's better than a "starter card". It's 2070S/2080 level of performance. Highly overclocked it's 2080S performance.
