"the cheapest RTX 2080 cards are approx £715 to pre-order." Now that's a large amount of cash. Also price match between Scan and Amazon, when buying, would be a sensible idea. (Easier to return to Amazon)
Colour me shocked. Absolutely shocked. I in no way anticipated this lackluster performance bump.

I know they've added some new-fangled features, but they aren't going to be utilised properly for a long while and won't benefit performance anyway.
What are they playing at here??
They're playing the 'we've cornered the market and we can charge pretty much whatever we want' game.
Guess I'll be keeping my 1080 until the 3000-series drops then.
Nvidia cherry picked graph showed performance without DLSS around 48% faster than 1080, 3D mark score shows to be around 38% faster...sounds about what we could expect given cherry picked results. The 1080 Ti is around 35% faster than the 1080 for reference when both cards are running at 4K, or 25 to 30% faster at 1440p.
I reckon the 2080 will just about be able hold 4K / 60fps in most titles with high/ultra settings, suspect nVidia will have targeted that as a baseline.
Well, lets do some math:
RTX 2080 has 15% more CUDA cores (2944 cores while 1080 has 2560), has 5% higher freq(2025 mhz while 1080 has 1911 Mhz). That's about 20% advantage just there.So it seems to me that core for core at the same freq it is more like 10-15% faster.Not bad, but certainly nothing special.
On the other hand AMD says their 7nm Vega is 1.35 faster while using 50% less power.
I say wait a month or two.
The more you live, less you die. More you play, more you die. Isn't it great.
The performance is as we expected, right? Seems in line with all other performance "leaks."
The driver the 2080 uses appears to be newer than the other two.
Speaking as a non gamer - I couldn't see any justification for ditching a perfectly good current generation GPU for such a meagre performance increase at such a cost.

Still on 970. Staying there for a while yet.
It's pretty much standard for next year's card to have similar performance to this year's card one step up, i.e. the xx70 to be akin to last year's xx80, or in this case the xx80 to last year's xx80Ti.Colour me shocked. Absolutely shocked. I in no way anticipated this lackluster performance bump.
Obviously there are exceptions, but that's the rule of thumb. But then there are usually other benefits on the processing: new features, power efficiency or whatever. It has never made sense to upgrade from a card that's less than 12 (or even 24) months old to another card that's only one step on the ladder from the one you already had.
You get it. Good move, still a great card.
The new cards in my opinion, are just not worth the money.
Rather spend my money on a decent quad HD G-sync monitor (like I've just done). And give this new generation of cards a miss. My 1070 is still more than holding it's own. Might need to drop the graphics setting/s from Ultra to very high ... but I can live with that.
Each to their own I suppose. But I find it amazing that anyone is prepared to drop over a grand on one of the new 2080ti's! Especially when you consider how fast graphics cards age and drop money like a stone. Almost as bad a buying a new car(ha).
Live long and prosper.
It's also pretty much standard for said new card to NOT match the price of said old card. New *70 is usually priced around or a bump above old *70. A better way to look at it is cost vs performance. You normally get a 20-30% increase in performance for roughly the same cost.It's pretty much standard for next year's card to have similar performance to this year's card one step up, i.e. the xx70 to be akin to last year's xx80, or in this case the xx80 to last year's xx80Ti.Colour me shocked.

No, not really.
The article states the RTX 2080 is 35% faster in the benchmark than the GTX 1080.
This figure can only get better with any driver improvements or software optimizations.
