Why would you buy a 2080 instead of a 2080 ti if money isn't a concern? Or are you just shorthanding when referencing?

you still have to sign up to monitoring sites to have a shot at ordering a ti right now, they stay available for a few minutes before selling out especially the non founders editions

I only got the 2080, not the 2080 TI for exactly the reason fanaskin said. Xidax told me it would be six weeks at a minimum for the 2080 TI, if the 2080 TI was available I would have bought it. And like I have said a over and over, I was in the market for a new PC, this was a timing thing it has nothing to do with chasing bleeding edge tech. I bought the best available at the time to fill the need. I needed my new PC up and running by Nov. 1 for the launch of my new business.

I'm trying to grab a 2080ti when they "possibly restock" early november here, kinda sucks having to wait but might as well I don't want a 2080(or a 1080ti). Just hope I can get one, at least one of the decent models(can find some PNY and Inno3D shit or whatever but fuck that noise).

Couldn't you just build it sans the gpu and then chuck in a 2080ti in six weeks time? Seems a bit silly imo.

I guess you missed the part about me needing it by Nov 1?

EDIT: Also, they said "six weeks at a minimum" which is a bit open ended.

2080 is often better than the 1080ti you keep telling him to buy instead

Sentagur Sentagur Instead of sending you a PM I figured I should probably do this publicly.

I am sorry.

I reacted like a cunt to your blanket statement. I am not sure what is up with me, perhaps I am a bit anxious about launching my business next week and over reacted. With that said, I don't want to make any excuses or have any qualifiers in this apology. I was wrong.

While I still disagree with all of your logic once the argument started, I am at fault for starting the argument. 999 out of a 1,000 I scroll by comment like that and just roll my eyes and move along, I really don't know why I let it annoy me so much. I am honestly embarrassed I let it get to me, I acted childish and cunty.

I hope you will accept my apology.

How do i accept your apology graciously without also looking like a fag just like you for apologizing on the internet?
Good luck with your business and may your 2080 feel like a 2080TI.
Now enough of that before we all need tampons or something similar.

It doesn't have to be as fast as a 2080ti. If its close in speed and half the price they will make a killing.

EVGA finally has a 2080 TI listed for $999. Out of stock, but in my experience if you sign up for alerts they tend to release each SKU at least once a week for anyone watching their emails.
