Delivery and availability of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti further delayed
In case you have been checking some pricewatch engines on RTX 2080 Ti availability, you'll be hardpressed to find a store with stock. The product that was released last week, would be shipped out to customers between September 20 and 27.
NVIDIA reports that pre-orders are sent between 5 and 9 October, which is a week later. Nvidia continues: "We apologize for the inconvenience and thanks again for your order". The status is not any different at etailers that sell RTX 2080 Ti and AIB versions, it is different for the RTX 2080 boards though which can be found.

Fuck it, I gave in and ordered the Zodiac GTX 1070 Ti for €450 from Amazon. Performance-wise, the 2080 is only 25% faster for twice the price which is ridiculous. RTX will always be optional anyway.

fuck resolution - try movies at 60fps, the difference is HUUUGE 
it's soo smooth 
ofc you will have to view them on a monitor or a 60fps TV

I don't get 4k gaming anyway. My monitor is 2560x1440 and I already find huds in most games too small - why on earth you'd game on 4K is beyond me. Any gamer worth his or her salt will prefer a solid good fps over a higher resolution.
Heck, the whole 4K thing is a joke. I did a test at home with a friend with playing an Amazon movie as 4K and as 1080p. We could NOT tell the difference until we stepped all the way up to the TV and looked closely. |
WAT
What has resolution to do with HUD size/scale? If your game renders the HUD at tiny size, it means the derpeloper is an idiot. Every respected developer nowadays renders HUD/GUI in a resolution-independent ways (vectors).
And if you couldn't tell the difference between SDR and HDR (not related to resolution but nowadays they come together), it means you either have vaseline on your eyes or used a shit TV. |

Leo being his usual daft self again I see ... I was talking about resolutions, not HDR (which wasn't even turned on for the test). Stop making stupid assumptions.
And plenty of games still don't properly resize HUDs or do it poorly making the HUD blurry instead of nice and crisp.

That means the developers are idiots. So your entire statement of "I don't get 4k gaming anyway." based on idiot developers makes no sense. Demand better from your games rather than lowering your expectations or hardware.
Oh, you turned off HDR, did you? And you call me daft.

The 970 is a relatively old technology now. The major hit was games moving to PBR pipelines. You could probably find a cheap 970 for SLI, and when it works, it works well for 1440p, but it's a crapshoot. Better invest in a 1070.

Wanted to do that, with the rtx launch... just most of the shits are still at MSRP. Expected a tiny bit lower. 2nd hand that is up: mostly ex miner crap.

And why would it matter if the card has been mined on? They are usually run on much lower voltages to begin with and probably last longer than your average joes gpu that has been overclocked to the limits since day 1.

Because they have run 24/7 . Which is not ideal for me, since I run about the same 18'ish hours a day, aka there is already wear on them and I'd rather have a less used one.
A random is usually no problem because the majority doesn't even bother with overclocking their GPU and they sure as hell don't play as much as I do.

Well the fans may be far more worn out due to constant usage and unlike case fans, it's not as easy to replace them because the 1001 different cooling solutions used on GPUs. Other than that, if you buy from a moron who had 8 of these cards all close together, there's a chance they've been running quite hot too. But yeah, you never know what you buy. I NEVER buy second hand graphics cards because, let's face it, apart from hard drives (which I'd also never buy second hand), it's the first component in your PC to die.

Haha yeah, my 660 Ti died two times already - and both times it was resurrected by the mighty baking oven. I'm just hoping it survives a few more weeks/months in case there is more info about the 2060. If those benchmarks aren't fake and it's really 300$ it might be worth waiting for it over getting a 1060 or 1070. There's no hurry for now, because I've got some older games to finish, not too many left though.

When I bought my 970 three and a half years ago (May 2014), I gave my two-year-old 670 to an online friend from Eastern Europe who could barely afford anything. That card only survived another half year with my friend so it lasted less long than my 970 now. Before that, it was the GTX 470 which actually died after two years as well. Before THAT, I had the HD 4870 which had serious fan issues (which I actually only fixed half a year ago using it for a retro PC) causing the card to either overheat, or the fan only spinning at full speed which was extremely loud. The 8800GTS before that, died from overheating as well. And before that I can't even remember but I know that the ONLY graphics card that actually survived the past 20 years, was my Voodoo 2 which didn't even need a fan.
Long story short: graphics cards are fucking expensive for the limited time they survive. I've always had expensive cases with lots of fans because I know it's actually cheaper in the long run because cooler gear = longer life span but if these cards can only last 2-3 years ... that's a joke really.

I think also the 970 was from a line that was much cooler in general. The 400-600 lines were still from the times when nVidia was being ridiculed for running very hot.

Well my 660 Ti survived exactly 1 year after putting it in the oven for the first time. Now I'm in second month of the second resurrection. I also still have working GTX 275 and 8800 GTS as backup (but quite useless nowadays). My Radeon 9800 XT and Geforce 3 Ti 500 both died.
