Building a rig for my brother for casual use, old-ish games (Doom 2016, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, etc). Have given him my i7 6700k cpu, 32gb of ddr4 ram and a 1080p monitor. Been offered a working rtx 2070 for €130 or a 2080 for €200.

Which should we go for oh cleverer than me people?

The cheapest one since your brother won't notice the difference

 

[winjer]

The 2070 is around 20% slower than the 2080. Though in some games and resolution, it can go to 30%.
The problem is that the prices you state, mean the 2080 is 50% more expensive.
So go with the 2070, as it is the best value. Or try to negotiate the 2080 to around 170$.

The 2070 is still a capable GPU thanks to its Raytracing, DX12 Ultimate and DLSS support. For 130€ you can't go wrong with it.

Perhaps you can also find a 2080Ti for a low price, that would be the jackpot. It has 11 GB VRAM and is a lot faster.

Just don't buy a GPU like the GTX 1070, or 5700XT, those GPU series do not have that modern featureset some games require.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

can maybe get a used 4060ti for €200

I'd also look into more current cards for around the same price.

Yeah, that or maybe 3070/3070ti.

The RTX 2070 will destroy "oldish games (doom 2016, shadow of the tomb raider)" on a 1080p monitor.

€130 for a 2070 seems like a bargain.
