Echo179 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm currently running a GTX 1080ti with a Ryzen 5 2600X and 32gb of 3200mhz RAM. I'm trying to determine if going to an RTX 2070 Super is worth the hassle. I can likely sell my 1080ti for the same price as a 2070 Super, but if it's gonna be for at most marginal gains, I don't see the point. Different sites have different figures for performance and capability. 3dmark puts the 2070 Super ahead, while hwcompare sees the 1080ti coming out in front. Video comparisons for flat screen games show them trading blows depending on the game and resolution. The RTX cards have some specific driver features that are supposed to make them better for VR though. Has anyone done this? Gone from a 1080ti to an RTX card that's not the 2080ti? Any input would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVgamer72 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Keep the 1080ti unless upgrading to a 2080ti. It has 11Gb of RAM (vs 8Gb), and DCS doesn't benefit from RTX or DLSS. You won't see huge gains even with a 2080ti unless you consider 24-29% "huge". https://forums.mudspike.com/t/gtx-1080-ti-vs-rtx-2080-ti-dcs-shootout/8049 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnars Driver Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 That was the direction I was thinking about going if things weren't much better on a 2070 S Historically, if having a XX80ti, you have to get the next level of XX80ti to have a performance change worth it. Even at two generations, for example 980 to 2080, if not getting the XX80 the performance benefit is not huge compared to the cost. I guess, waiting for the 30XX series, having a XX80, the 3080 is what you need.

FragBum Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well for me going from 1080Ti to 2080Ti gave the ability to increase some settings in VR but it was a welcome improvement but in no way an "OMG" increase. Well it was as far as the numbers go but DCS VR only a bit of an improvement. However for VR in my experience higher CPU clock speed will give you better performance. That's just my observation. FWIW. Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Bob_Bushman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I made my decision to keep the 1080ti and wait for next gen. That next gen was anticipated to launch about a month ago, but has been delayed due to this current run of the "drowning-snifles", or Kung-flu. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.
