2080 is the worst deal I think I've ever seen in a new GPU - marginally better performance than a 1080TI (and worse in some games) for $200 more. Line up boys, we've got a hot deal comin'!
Yeah didn't expect much from the 2080. It's a large boost over the 1080, but it's also way the fuck more expensive so that's a bit of a shit comparison, and it's actually not any better than the 1080ti which is, the same price or cheaper. So seems all kinds of worthless. The 2080ti is really the only "interesting" one, in the sense that it should be a large boost at a very substantial price increase, but at least there's a point to it, albeit not necessarily worth the cost.
The only thing I'm hoping for from the 2080 is that it would push down the premium pricing put on the 1080 cards a bit.... I'm still running on dual 680ti cards and would like to be a cheap ass but still upgrade. heh
I would almost do this, except I am playing so many 4k games on my consoles now. But with that said, I recently wanted to play through Batman AA and AC again, and saw the remaster for sale for 7.99 - ended up digging deeper and seeing it was only 1080p and horrible frame rate even on the X. So considering I have that on PC (And many others) I could always move to a Ti and take advantage oif my dell 27 144ghz display in the PC room and at 1440p, I would be set for a LONG time.
That's just crazy. Even a simple test like loading up Shadow of the Tomb Raider on a PS4 Pro or Xbone X and switching between 1080p60 and 4K30 shows a massive difference. I don't know how anyone could stand to play the game on 4K when the 60fps mode is available. It's fucking horrible, like Lara's swimming in molasses.Its pretty hilarious how some people think they must have 60 fps to enjoy gaming.
I'll take 30 fps in 4k over 60fps at 1080p any day of the week.

Still don't understand why anyone bothers with 4K on PC either, when 3440x1440 is so clearly superior as well as requiring less GPU power to hit 60-144 fps. Instead of worrying about raytracing on hardware still woefully inadequate for the task, people should be asking where the hell real HDR support in Windows and on monitors is. LG is putting out a 5K2K monitor in a few days that finally has DisplayHDR 600 certification (which is still low compared to any HDR10 TV, but might be fine at sitting-at-a-desk viewing distances), but for some reason they've skipped right over the 1440UW range. Plus it's a $1500 panel that has neither Freesync 2 nor Gsync. Other than that the DisplayHDR certification list is a wasteland as far as ultrawide goes.
And they pushed the 4K checkerboard resolution on the X a little too high, causing it to dip into the mid 20's frequently while the Pro is more stable at 30. Camera movement on the 1080p mode is still so much smoother even if it really is low 50's a lot of the time that I'd never choose the other anyway. I've been sitting maybe 4' from my TV while playing it because my back is fucked up this week and I can't sit like I normally do and it's not even that easy to see the difference in IQ between 1080p and 4K modes. 1080p seems to have decent enough AA--and the game has such overdone motion blur--that it doesn't really matter.So for me I have Tomb Raider through Gamefly, and I am playing in 4k mode with solid 30 and not having any issues what so ever and the game looks gorgeous. (65 OLED). Controls are responsive, graphics are fluid, etc. This is on Xbox One X. I am hearing the PS Pro version isn't nearly the same and also suffers from long load times. (I haven't run into those either on the X). Also PS Pro is consistently below 60 (Averaging around 45) in 60 Fps mode at 1080p.
