Question Will I see a big difference from a 1080TI and a 2080TI?

[ricleo2]

I am building a gaming computer for a friend of mine's kid. My friend can afford the best, but I just can't see buying a 2080TI right now as they are outrageously expensive. Will a 2080TI be wildly "better" than a 1080TI? Thank you.

ATPN has broken out of its containment chamber.

The biggest difference I noticed was the ability to run pretty much anything over 60fps at 4k at the highest settings. Now, was it life changing, no, but that's what I noticed.

Are consistently low frame times a conservative value?

Jokes aside, a 2080 Ti is a pretty big step up, especially at 4K resolutions. For anything else I think you'll see a bigger difference in your bank statement than anywhere else, but if money isn't an object, then this is going to be the best experience at the present moment and it isn't exactly clear when you would expect something better to come along.

We've got a minimum of a year to wait for RT on consoles, and by association PCs, to even think about starting up though. Meanwhile, my $700 card from almost 3 years ago will play any AAA game at 1440p for the next 1-2 years with no compromises.

I can't max out modded Witcher 3 @ 1440p on my 1080ti. I have to run it Supreme to get >60fps instead of Ultimate.

If I wanted to play at 4k and had the money I sure would. 1440p the 1080ti would be more than fast enough.

Wow the chart I referenced was from the 2080ti launch. The 2080ti has really improved!

The percentage is relatively still the same,
@4K, the 1080TI is 72% of the 2080Ti, which means 2080Ti is 39% faster,
@1440p, 1080Ti is 75% of the 2080Ti, which means 2080Ti is 33% faster

recent benches have increased the margins of the 2080Ti
@4K from 39% to 46%
@1440p, from 33% to 39%

Actually, I'm worried that college will corrupt him.

He's got a 2080ti, so its all down hill from there.
