I hope I can get atleast 500 for my 1080 ti with Ekwb when they release the 2080 ti. I might be dreaming though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right, wasn't thinking about that aspect. I bought a 1080ti for $450 at the start of the week, hopefully value won't tank too hard.

That's a good price.

Guess I did better than I thought

. I got a decent price for my 980 and I don't like being without a card so I ended up caving and grabbing something before the announcement.

If this series isn't a big performance bump you might manage it.

Just saw these. I'm confused. Is the Ti model being released next to the 2080?

Prince Valiant · Aug 17, 2018

Only rumored at this point (I think?). I think it makes sense if they're going to move to 7nm sometime next year.

I'm fermi vibes here, the chips seem like they're are going to be hot wonder if power consumption will be equally high, and if that turns out to be the case what are the green team defenders going to say.

One of the best places I've found to find gpus are cheap prices is the outlet/clearance/overstock areas on various sites like provantage and cdw.

Since the mining bubble has burst and the retail prices have come down the deals are tougher to find, but they're still there if you look hard enough. :toast:
