RTX 2080 super good enough for 1440p gaming at 60fps minimum?

[Desolate Eden]

And will it future proof me for 3-5 years? Or should I wait for the RTX 30XX series?

Yes 2080 Super has no problems doing 1440p even at 144hz very well.

Minimums though, well that can often depend alot on your CPU as well, not just GPU. And some games are sometimes just poorly designed and for such too.

I have a I7-10700K, 8 core at 3.9ghz with turbo boost to 5.1ghz

Then you should be fine with getting decent and smooth consistent performance.

thanks for the help :)

I have a GTX 1080 Ti which is a shade slower than the 2080 Super (5-10 FPS average depending on the game) and it's still completely fine for 1440p gaming and hits more like an average of 80 FPS in demanding titles - you should be fine with the 2080S, especially with a good CPUlike the 10700K.

Wanted to be sure because I watched some benchmark videos on assassins creed oddysey and watch dogs 2 and well they seem to struggle at max settings at 1440p with a 2080s and i think thats just ubisoft not being very good at optimising their games, but one of my main reasons for upgrading was to be able to play these games at 60fps seeing as i dropped them before originally due to an awful frame rate on my current gtx 1080

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a huge resource hog and even the 2080 Ti can't really pull of what I'd call "high refresh rate gaming" at max settings. Watch Dogs isn't known for its optimization either, heh.

If Google around which settings to turn down to get a good framerate without sacrificing image quality. I think for AC:O it's something dumb like cloud quality. Huge impact on performance, little impact on graphics. Kind of like grass in GTA V. Grass quality on Ultra in GTA V nukes the framerate by almost half and it really makes very little difference to image quality.

Some average framerates I get at 1440p in games, just for comparison (and keep in mind that the 2080S is still better than the 1080 Ti by a bit, at least 5%). These numbers are more like "feels like" estimates rather than hardcore measurements. Running an 8700k at stock boost clocks and 16 GB 3200 MHz memory.

DOOM Eternal: around 120FPS, very rare dips to high 70s
Far Cry 5: 100FPS, rare dips to mid 80s
GTA V: around 100FPS with grass turned to High
Fortnite: more or less stays at the 162FPS cap (I have a 165Hz monitor)
Vermintide II: around 100FPS, dips to mid 60s during intense fights (though VT isn't really that well optimized either).

I have R7 3700x, 32 GB, RTX 2080Super (OC)... I run Watchdog 2 and AC Origins in max except NO AA.... between 55 - 60 FPS (Gsync will help). Antialiasing is great resource hog.. so I dont use it in 4K (Usually it will blur image too).

Note: Watchdog 2 needed more than 16 GB RAM while Youtubevideo in other monitor.....

I just looked up i7-10900k and i7-10600k with 2080 ti (not super). ACOD 1440p, ultra high, TAA fps is 100 for both cpus (gpu bottlenecking). An 8700k and 2080 super scores 83. So you will get much the same - 80 fps on ACOD.

However it looks like there is gpu bottlenecking occurring, so you might want to wait. I'd try to do some research on what the AC Vikings game might need.

At high pixel densities it should be possible to turn down sharpening effects. I do this on a lot of games - using 4K dsr on a 1080p monitor because I have a 1080 ti which is bottlenecked by the cpu. DSR looks better and there is less texture flutter.

The thing about gpus is that they cost a lot at the top end. I'd be inclined to wait the maybe 3 months to see what nvidia will release. Supposedly 2000 series are being cleared from manufacturer inventory for 3000 series release at Computex in September. It's not that far off. If you want 5 years use I'd definitely wait. The new gpus might be display port 2 as well.

[Desolate Eden]

Really? There's a bottleneck with a rtx 2080s and an i7 10700k? That seems crazy, if thats true I might be put off buying an rtx 2080s. It's not like it's even that old though, maybe a year or less at most and the cpu is 1 month old so theyre both within a year of their release, I guess the rtx 2080 is a little over a year actually, still I wouldnt have expected a bottle neck issue

[Desolate Eden]

I see there is less than 1% bottle necking on the i7 9700k with the bottleneck calculator so I cant imagine it being that much diff with an i7 10700k

Thanks for these, that helps a lot. It seems everything runs at above 60 fps which is what I want

The fact it doesnt stay above 60 constantly even with those specs is disapointing..

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

With only few months wait until RTX 3080 it`s kinda questionable purchase at current prices.

Not even RTX 2080 ti can play all games above 60 fps in 4K.
