Oddly enough, this is the video I’ve been hoping for. I game in the rear view mirror, so old tech that’s still functional but can be had cheaper than new is my go to. Over the last few months, I moved from RX580 to a 1080Ti and now a 2080Ti. I find the 2080Ti to be a delight to use. I can crank up settings, run some RT and still enjoy over 60FPS. Old reviews crap on the card for its price compared to the 1080Ti, which was truthfully the only thing “wrong” with it (Micron chips aside). I’m glad you identified that, Ice Berg. I’d love to see an MSRP analysis of the 2080Ti’s performance vs the same of the newer gens.

I upgraded from a 1080 Ti to a RTX 2080 Ti back when Turing launched and right before prices on even used GPUs skyrocketed. Can't complain honestly, RDR2, CP2077 all run fine with high settings, FSR/DLSS either balanced or quality, with ultra performance I can even run Cyberpunk with RT lighting and reflections while having 60-80 fps. Hopefully the card will survive until the PC release of GTA 6, won't upgrade until then since there hasn't been a new release yet that got me interested.

For full transparency, I haven't watched a single second yet. I just wanna bring something up and see if it gets mentioned. We're all semi aware of die scaling and how it relates to cost/yields right? The 2080 Ti is a 754 mm^2 die, literally more than double the size of a 1080 Ti die. Except unlike a Pascal GPU where the majority of the die is Cuda (Integer and FP cores), in a Turing GPU parts of the die are reserved for RT and Tensor cores. This means unless those cores are active, that extra die space is "wasted." That's why it seems like such bad value, because it's BIGGER than a 3090 TI, BIGGER than a 4090, in order to be the first RTX GPU and still outperform the 1080 Ti. Edit: Not to mention the similar TDP. Big die means big power draw, and at double the size the 2080 Ti draws the same power.
@m8x425
6 ай бұрын
That's right. Bigger die = Much, much higher cost. Less cuts from the wafer compounded by poorer yields. Nowadays, the same size wafer costs a lot more, while Nvidia is paying through the nose for an N4 wafer. Higher TDP = Beefier PCB and VRM's. TDP and power consumption on the other hand will depend on die size, transistor count, architecture, clock frequencies, and overall how the GPU is being used. Also, the 2080ti consumes anywhere from 20w to 50w more than a 1080ti, despite the TDP figures. And that's why it irritates the shit out of me when a KZitemr says Nvidia made a mistake with the 1080ti, which they all seem to believe. We ended up getting charged $500 more for something that was in development and not readily usable. I would have rather had more CUDA cores and I would have been more than happy to deal with a card that has a higher TDP. The 1080ti was the end of the era of Brute Force through shader cores. The reason Nvidia released the 1080ti was not to counter VEGA, but because their product channel had become backed up. The ideal turn-around from when a card is manufactured to being sold is 6-8 weeks, which at that time cards sales were going beyond that. They were not selling as many Pascal cards as they had projected. At that time there were rumors of a mid-cycle refresh. But then the 2017-2018 Mining boom happened and this turned everything around.

While the entire internet was all a cry and wail over the (un)availability and absolutely insane prices of Ampere a few years later, I was still sitting comfortably with my 2080 Ti without a care in the world. DLSS helped a lot with my 4k monitor and I easily weathered the scalper storm with this card. I imagine if I had chosen not to buy it and stuck with 1080 SLI all the way to the end of the pricing insanity that lasted years I would've hated my life, what with SLI support being effectively non-existent at that point in demanding games.

@@v5k456jh3 When the 770 came out in 2013, it was surprisingly good at 4K for a 340 euro card. I remember playing Metro 2033 on it and similar games. The original GTA V ran around ~50fps in 4K (ingleplayer, very high). The last CoD game i ever played was MW2 and it ran too. The 4GB VRAM was a lot back then. Only STALKER lost alpha was a bit stuttery, because it was a pretty unoptimised game, running poorly even on modern systems. The card was obsolete at around 2017, at least for 4K. I passed it down to my sister in law which played in 1080p for a while.

The 2080 Ti was definitely less than expected upgrade over 1080 Ti by most metrics: VRAM size, basic pixel and compute throughput, but the more efficient architecture over time proved itself and that's besides AI and RT add-ons in the newer games. Nvidia had to make some performance compromises with Turing, since it was build on a similar manufacturing process with the same transistor destiny as for Pascal, while reserving space for all the new hardware features of the RTX line that were yet to bring tangible benefits. Ampere was much better balanced, but the price hikes tarnished its image for quite a while.

The thing was that Ampere was "supposed" to be a return to form in a way with the 3080 priced at $699. It's just that the second crypto boom and the Chinese death cold caused the cards and everything usable to be hiked to high heaven. The fact that everyone decided to just go ahead and pay those inflated prices either from drops or from scalpers along with the current AI boom have convinced Nvidia that normal prices were a dumb move and that we will never have decent prices for GPUs for the foreseeable future.

The 2080Ti holding up in today's games is an example of hardware with features way ahead of it's time. Of course, the 2080Ti was the better buy, 6 years later, but hindsight is 20/20, and Nvidia's execution of DLSS and RT was near flawless. People who bought into the $1000 card for something that they wouldn't find useful for the next 3-4 years must've felt pretty bad. Heck, even the 3070 barely outcompetes the 2080Ti except in scenarios where VRAM is insufficient.

Game optimization is kinda dead. Games are much bigger and more complex than ever before, so optimising for every possible combination of hardware is getting increasingly difficult, time-consuming, and resource intensive. Though we really should first determine what good optimisation means. A game using console levels of VRAM on PC isn't a sign of bad optimization, for example. Whereas VRAM consumption staying largely unchaged even if settings are reduced from max to lowest is a sign of bad optimization.

So went with Vega and was mostly happy, but by mid 2022, after 5 years; it was getting too long in the tooth for 1440p. If I had a 1080 ti would have probably gotten another 2 years out of it.

The main issue at the time wasn't the 2080 ti, it was the 2080. We have always gotten better performance at the same price or only for the same value, the 20 series was the first exception. The 2080 had the same performance as a 1080 ti at the exact same price and same down the stack. The 2080 ti was the only justified GPU and it was a mark up over the older cards. Honestly it was more comparable to the Titan Xp which again means it wasn't really much an upgrade at all.

If there had been any ray tracing supporting games at launch, maybe this would have been better received. But, if you think about how big a jump over the 1080 Ti was over the 980 Ti, it's not surprising the jump to the 2080 Ti wasn't as big. The 1080 Ti was a 60% performance increase over the 980 Ti, if it'd had just been 50%, then the performance of the 2080 Ti would have been a 40% uplift instead of 30%, which would have been more palatable.

It is the Palit Dual version with the garbage cooler and I thought the previous owner cooked it since it ran super hot, I got it super cheap so I don't mind the issues. 99% of the time it runs flawless anyway and I replaced the crappy fans and shroud with some decent 120mm fans and now the temps are even in check. Seeing these results, I should start to look for some newer cards!
