If I have to. I will avoid it if I can. Will try to hold out until next gen comes out, but if I get my pimax headset and my 1080Ti isn’t enough I will have to consider it. I’ll also need to try overclocking before it gets that far. My graphics card never seems to get properly hot at stock clocks, so I think it can definitely do a bit more.

Next gen video card? in 2 years?

If it takes that long, and I can still play all the games I want to and enjoy them then yes.

it feels like a grim inevitability.

I believe I will purchase one of them within 6 months… but I have yet to determine at this time which one.

Hopefully delivered next week (2080Ti).

I don’t know. I’ll try my headset with my 1080 and if I am disappointed with the results (I suspect I will be) then I may grudgingly buy a 2080 ti. But I don’t consider this generation worth it’s asking price, a 2080 is not a sufficient jump unless something magic has happened for VR in the Turing architecture.

I’ll only buy a 2080Ti if there is a substantial FPS increase in VR. Comparing my EVGA 1080Ti SC2 HYBRID that I paid $999.99 (CDN before tax) to the top EVGA 2080Ti of $1700 (CDN before tax) my brain tells me I should be getting a 70% increase in FPS. There’s no way in hell that’s going to happen obviously but it should still be very decent, 40% would be nice. I would also want a HYBRID card which will drive the price up a little more. I suspect we’ll see a slight price decrease in 4 months or maybe (doubtful) AMD will make something that competes.
I have the luxury of not needing a new card right now. I don’t have a clue what I would do otherwise.

You can fit an AIO cooler yourself, use better heatsink medium (copper is the best) and higher conductive thermal filler pads than the shit they give you.

waiting to see VR developers support first. if it’s just for raw power I’m not interested but if VR developers start to use VRS,TSS, 16-view or DLSS I’m signing it up too.

Im actually in good place right now, I’ll be gone until mid March so wont be gaming until then. That means i dont need a 2080ti right now as I wont be able to use it. It also means when I get back I’ll have 6+ months of reviews and maybe even a small price drop to look forward to. I’m definitely getting a AIO card when I get back. Will help push OC higher with the better cooling.
Another good thing about waiting is around the time I get back zen 2 will be about released which is shaping up to be a nice cpu upgrade on par with Intel.

I’m going to try to skip the 20xx range of cards altogther and hold out for the 30xx range (by using my 1080ti )

Definitely going for a ti. I don’t want to be at work any more than I have to, in general, but… Between now and when I get my Pimax HMD, I figure I have enough time to do a few extra shifts. I enjoy VR too much, and am so excited about HD VR that I have to give myself the best possible experience

Supprised by the results! Are you all Jeff Bezos nephews!?
well, even i am kinda tempted by the raytracing-tech, but also proud to say that i never paid the nvidia tax and am not about to start now.
yes i had one of those FX prozessors and yes i am used to run my games at 30-60 fps.
while i am pretty happy with my vega64, im realy looking forward to the next generation of team red. 
2080Ti if I had to, but I will stick with my 1080Ti till the next generation. No need to go to 20…
I’m hoping the next gen will work well with the 8K X.
Waiting Pimax 8K-X first
Thinking to next 7nm Nvidia Titan March 2019
RTX 2080 TI is 60% more fast than 1080 TI in VR with 5K scenario rendering.
Where can I vote “no“?
the way i am figuring it, it will be at least late December before i get my headset if not early jan. I’ve purchased a new psu.
If i am careful between now and then , and squirrel away a little bit diligently i think i will be in a much better position to make a final call.
Things that will be much clearer by then.
uptake numbers for TSAA.
final performance numbers on 5k+ and 8k.
uptake on the 20 series in general.
if everything looks good at that point i could go all the way to a 2080 ti.
