There will always be demand for the best and fastest.

I would put my money I could tell you the difference between a 60 and 100Hz monitor over and over and over and over. Going from my PG279Q to a 100Hz ultrawide is insanely noticeable.
What the hell is the point of gaming at 4K if you’re going to lower settings. That’s asinine. Higher resolution I can’t run, so I set my texture detail down to medium! Sick
Agreed on both points.

We can always hope.
Not if it's priced too high.

Even if. There may not be as much but it'll be there,.
What is too high?
The norm from the 1080Ti was at least $699. AIB 1080Ti's were upwards of $800 or more.
AMD didn't do you any favors, they wanted $650 for Vega 64 and $699 for Radeon VII.
Snagging a 2080Ti for around $1200 isn't that bitter of a pill to swallow compared to prices last gen. It still sucks yeah, but if there were more competition on the high end those prices wouldn't see the light of day. Though, I'm not so sure AMD would actually price their cards lower even if they had something equal. Seems like they're willing to match prices with Nvidia these days. However it's much easier to start a price war when you have comparable products.
Everyone one of us that bought a 2080Ti from launch (well that would be only me, everyone else just trickled in
) enjoyed their purchase. And I think most of us (if not all) came from a good AIB 1080Ti and found the 2080ti to be an excellent improvement. Games that use RTX well like Metro is like cherry on top.

dyssey needs it.You’re close-minded to think that there’s diminishing returns to raising framerate and increasing the smoothness on your screen.
And yeah, I’m sorry but if you’re running 4K and you lower texture settings .. that is so completely backwards I am incredibly mind-blown.
I have not had to do that since fury x cfx for 4k
most of the time with a 2080 ti strix I can get 55 to 60 FPS with at most turning off aa witch is not needed as much at 4k non RTX stuff
and or turning off NV crap like hairworks
If you think it is a must have, good have fun, it is more-so diminishing returns after 60 for me and rather use the precious resources on fidelity, immersion and resolution.
There are many settings to try to find that right fidelity/performance/setting/resolution balance depending on game and subjective tastes.

I gave an example that purposely counters the entire point of higher resolution, and you still went ahead and tried to tell me otherwise my dude
I'm curious why 4K would be better than 1440P when you're running lower settings. Textures look "great" yet your shadows are blobs on the ground? Ambient occlusion is set to SSAO instead of HBAO+? Water detail? Sky?I don't knock people for preferring 4K. Remember, I only disagreed that you called the 2080S a "4K card", and then you went off on some thing about people wasting money buying 2080TIs for 1440P. The 2080TI can barely handle 4K as it is, and that's with the card overclocked. The 2080S is a good 1440P tier card that can run everything maxed out and handle 100Hz. I'd go as far to say it's a good ultrawide 3440x1440 card. For 165Hz 1440P, the 2080TI is still the only option. Unless you want to drop settings, but again, there's no point in raising your resolution to then drop settings to compensate for the resolution ...
It may be lowering anti-aliasing, transparency, proprietary features, it depends on how much quality a feature offers and is the performance hit worth it and does the added resolution make up for it?
I agree with techpowerup on the rtx 2080 super:

I was a little excited yesterday when I saw the 2080Super reviews were out. Not so excited after going through a few of them. Looks to be short a 2080Ti in the games I play by about 14% at 4k. Average frame rate always just shy of 60fps.
Like others have said here, it doesnt seem to be enough to convince me to upgrade from my Strix 1080Ti. I'll keep waiting and console gaming.

Im seeing about 30fps more in the division 2, runs about 1935-1950Mhz out the box. Highest I have seen is 76*C, and It is WAY quieter than my EVGA 1080 SC. Also my 1080 would coil whine, this does not. Might be CPU bound in this title even at 1440p, might have to OC my CPU.
