Just after some thoughts really.
If you had the upgrade itch right now, would you go for
A) RTX2080ti w/factory overclock and AIO watercooler
B) 2 x RTX2080 Nvlink aircooled
Either option is basically the same price for me at the moment, so I'm really torn.
I'm fully aware of all the SLI/Nvlink issues, but I keep thinking that the RTX2080TI is only about 33% faster than the 2080, so in games that scale well, the 2 x 2080's are potentially much faster.
In games that don't scale well or scale at all, one 2080 will still be a great card. I'd probably only need SLI scaling for playing in 3d anyway with either option.

Just finished GPU/CPU upgrade, where both CPU and GPU are hybrid cooled. As I mentioned in another forum thread (see [url]https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1061791/3d-vision/rtx-2080-incoming-/post/5964490/#5964490[/url]), I cannot overclock my 2080Ti very much before games start crashing - while never overheating. Various tech forum discussions also discourage raising GPU voltages beyond factory settings.
How important is computer noise to you? I prefer quiet computers - so, I favor hybrid cooling of single GPUs, versus the noise of 2 air-cooled GPUs - even if they are likely faster...

If 1080p is enough single 1080ti/TitanX Pascal is enough.
Personally i also have been thinkin about my next gpu but i think i’ll Update only when rtx
Technology is fluid with current gen games in 3d.
Everyone Are free to do what ever they want. Just remember that buying into current pricing you
Agree to nvidia current direction of increasing gpu pricing to ridicilous prices and propably the next
Lineup is even more expensive still retaining the regular 30% increase in performance between Generations.

And you'll do what about it ?
Maybe stop gaming in 3D, so NVidia finally will learn to lower their prices :)
Anyway I'll also go the silent way with a single 2080TI, hopefully with an full watercooled solution again!

What resolution Russell?
For 1440/1600p / supersampled VR, I would PERSONALLY buy a second hand stock 2080ti - they are going for £800 used. I have been looking at this option for a sidegrade from my 2x 1080s for VR and the few games that don't support SLi.
It has been shown that cooling and overvolting these cards doesn't really matter - the only limitation is the binned chip quality - they all stock overclock really well.
If I had your budget - AIO and all, I would perhaps buy 2x standard used 2080Ti for £1,600.
A word on value:
In the past, 30% performance increase usually meant 2x the price.
Recently, however, (generally speaking) 30% performance increase has meant 'only' a 30% price increase. Speaking strictly in financial value terms, 2080Ti might arguably be the 'only' correct choice.

I would go 2080Ti and watercool & overclock the hell out of them! You can get some nice overclocks on them!
Currently I only have 1x 2080Ti watercooled and overclocked and I don't have problems with it! I am at around + 200Mhz on the core and 700Mhz on the VRAM.
But again, some games like it, while others don't. Witcher 3 for example doesn't like anything above 140Mhz on the Core, or it will crash down the line (1-2 hours into the game... I know ^_^).
I am planning on getting the next 2080Ti soon!
As for the people that ask about RTX and DLSS... that is DX12 exclusive currently. MS said they will expand the API to DX11, but... Don't hold your breath! I wouldn't count of Raytracing in DX11 and in Stereo 3D (at all. Unless Nvidia makes a new 3D Vision Release that fully supports DX12).

RTX is not exactly DX12 exclusive, Vulkan will also have it implemented and hopefully OpenGL will get it as well.

Emulators (which I use a lot) don't support SLI, so I'd say a more powerful single GPU is better :p (for me).
I agree with Metal-O-Holic in that we shouldn't support these prices. fps/$ is something that should always go up every generation, and this one is stale or even going down.

I can survive with my GTX 1080 until the 3000 generation or a serious price drop for the 2080Ti, I think.
I was really willing to pay 800-900€ for a 2080Ti, which is what I expected based on previous Ti prices. But >1200€ is too much.

I thought the NVLink used on Turing architecture was mostly unrelated to the old SLI.
AFAIK, SLI worked best when the developers implemented it during development. Along with Nvidia having profile flags to offload more rendering tasks to the GPU.
I was under the assumption that NVLink is all handled by the drivers, because it is GPU to GPU for a lot of the workload.
Second Generation NVLink will be on the GTX 2080ti (TU102 and TU104)

Thanks for all the input, really appreciate it.
@D-Man11 NVLink in Turing consumer guise is basically exactly the same as SLI but with a much higher (and more expensive) bandwidth connector. It definitely scales better than SLI and I believe is has better frametime variance so less microstutter, but, it's still SLI. So varying support, sometimes none. Fiddling with profiles etc. Waiting for patches.
@Rage VR is a consideration for sure. And there are hardly any VR games that scale in SLI *at all*. I think an Nvidia demo and Serious Sam that's literally about it.
Resolution wise, I'm surround 2d/3d @ 5760x1080, which I think is right between 1440p and 4k for pixel count.
But, I've got my 4k projector, although that will be 2d 4k.
Another thing is that the cards I'm looking at are Inno3d and Galax/KFA. I think Inno3d has virtually no UK support, whereas Galax/KFA is better, not sure.

[s]Unless I am mistaken, NVLink is not SLI. Is more exactly that NVLINK (From Quadro cards).
How can you tell? In normal SLI, each GPU is with it's VRAM. For EX: in SLI if a GPU has 6GB you can only use 6GB and not 6GB+6GB. In NVLINK the memory is unified so you do get those 12GB of VRAM ;)[/s]

There's also the new Intel GPUs without integrated video to consider. Which might be a better choice to avoid any conflict/overhead that might be unknowingly present with an IGPU.

Hi Helifax, I meant to ask you. Does your 2080TI have Samsung memory? All the references I've seen to the Palit Gaming OC suggest it has Samsung VRAM rather than Micron or Hynix.
Thanks!

RTX is not exactly DX12 exclusive, Vulkan will also have it implemented and hopefully OpenGL will get it as well.

Ouch! The truth in that statement stings :(
I agree with Metal-O-Holic in that we shouldn't support these prices. fps/$ is something that should always go up every generation, and this one is stale or even going down.
I can survive with my GTX 1080 until the 3000 generation or a serious price drop for the 2080Ti, I think.
I was really willing to pay 800-900€ for a 2080Ti, which is what I expected based on previous Ti prices. But >1200€ is too much.

I thought the NVLink used on Turing architecture was mostly unrelated to the old SLI.
AFAIK, SLI worked best when the developers implemented it during development. Along with Nvidia having profile flags to offload more rendering tasks to the GPU.
I was under the assumption that NVLink is all handled by the drivers, because it is GPU to GPU for a lot of the workload.
Second Generation NVLink will be on the GTX 2080ti (TU102 and TU104)

@D-Man11 NVLink in Turing consumer guise is basically exactly the same as SLI but with a much higher (and more expensive) bandwidth connector. It definitely scales better than SLI and I believe is has better frametime variance so less microstutter, but, it's still SLI. So varying support, sometimes none. Fiddling with profiles etc. Waiting for patches.
@Rage VR is a consideration for sure. And there are hardly any VR games that scale in SLI *at all*. I think an Nvidia demo and Serious Sam that's literally about it.
Resolution wise, I'm surround 2d/3d @ 5760x1080, which I think is right between 1440p and 4k for pixel count.
But, I've got my 4k projector, although that will be 2d 4k.
Another thing is that the cards I'm looking at are Inno3d and Galax/KFA. I think Inno3d has virtually no UK support, whereas Galax/KFA is better, not sure.

Unless I am mistaken, NVLink is not SLI. Is more exactly that NVLINK (From Quadro cards).How can you tell? In normal SLI, each GPU is with it's VRAM. For EX: in SLI if a GPU has 6GB you can only use 6GB and not 6GB+6GB. In NVLINK the memory is unified so you do get those 12GB of VRAM ;)
Clearly I am mistaken ^_^

"The Turing TU102 GPU includes two x8 second-generation NVLink links, and Turing TU104 includes one x8 second-generation NVLink link. Each link provides 25 GB/sec peak bandwidth per direction between two GPUs (50 GB/sec bidirectional bandwidth). Two links in TU102 provides 50 GB/sec in each direction, or 100 GB/sec bidirectionally.
Note: SLI driver support for 8K and 8K Surround will be enabled post-launch"
Hi Helifax, I meant to ask you. Does your 2080TI have Samsung memory? All the references I've seen to the Palit Gaming OC suggest it has Samsung VRAM rather than Micron or Hynix.
Thanks!
