RTX 2080
Whats up everyone? I need some help here with my OCD. Will an RTX 2080 last for a few years? By last for a few years I mean stay viable to play new releases...I know we are on the cusp of new hardware and consoles...and maybe i bought my GPU at a bad time...but will it last for a few years before needing an upgrade to the newer models? It seems as though people using the 9XX series are still going strong today so SHOULD i be able to expect a similar life line for my card? I am using a DELL G-SYNC 24" 1440p 165HZ monitor to coincide with my GPU...

You should be considering the 2080S from this point onward.

Back to your question, yes the 2080S should last a few years provided that it doesn't break down but as usual you'll have to gradually make compromise of the graphic quality settings in order to keep up with a high refresh rate for the games in the future.

No i can accept that, but i should get at least 2 solid years out of the card right?

Also remember if you really need a bit of a push you can overclock it a bit to help out if you really feel the need for it after awhile.

Of course.it will. When my gtx 970 that is 5 years and 2 months old still play max settings 1440p 30+ fps on all games why do you think a RTX 2080TI that is 100% more powerful will not last? Of course it will last and for much longer!

Since when did the 970 suddenly became such a beast gpu? Lol

It is my first gpu that i have kept for so long and for a reason. Yes i never expected it to happen but yes i still play max settings 1440p 30+ fps in all games. Star wars jedi fallen order for example a just 6 days old game run 30-40 fps max setttings 1440p.

Op, don't listen to this poor fool.

A 1080ti preforms at the same level of a 2080S, and used 1080tis go for around 500$ for good quality, but still a 2080 will be a contender for a long time.

How dare you call me the SHREDDER fool? Yes 2080s has the same perfoancce of 1080ti while being released 2 years after 1080ti. That very sad. But soon RTX 2080TI SUPER or RTX 3080TI are coming according to rumors and leaks.

The 2080 will last a while. Just like other gpus you'll probably have to turn some settings down as it ages to keep framerates up - though since it's really powerful to start with, probably not that many.
