Okay, if anyone wants to throw in their two cents I'm running GeForce GTX 1070 @ 2100MHz which I got for £310, of course now the street price is much lower. I've narrowed down my choices:
GTX 1080 Ti or RTX 2070.
A used 1080 Ti will set me back around ~50% provided I sell the 1070. I get no warranty, but it is faster than the RTX 2070 and doesn't have such a tight power limit, in older DX11 titles it does really well, I'm still going to play those for a long time as I have for the past few years. Stock vs Stock, the 1080 Ti is 47% faster on average according to TPU GPU database. That alone looks quite good.
There is another option of course, and that is being patient and see what Navi is all about. Which I can do since I still play at 2560x1080 mostly and even modded games aren't struggling, the GTX 1070 is still a beast of a card.
How many of you have made the upgrade recently even if it is just 1 generation apart? Personally it feels wrong getting the RTX 2070 since I am playing straight into getting ripped off from a small performance increase, paying more than the card's performance is really worth, especially considering when the gap is just 1 generation which doesn't add all that much IMO.
I feel like a 1080Ti would be a true upgrade, plus I might get a better monitor afterwards. It's just that having no warranty puts me off, especially when paying quite a bit. People on ebay don't give like some sort of aftermarket support like I used to after selling my used hardware to people (Some work on my part, but it puts buyers at ease considering the warranty isn't valid anymore).
Guys the itch. I have it. It's been a long time since Pascal launched. I think it is aging pretty well considering Turing didn't bring much in the performance department, and nerfed OC'ing.
