I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and with most of the cards being bought out i might end up having to get something other than what i planned. I was planning on getting an RTX 2070 super but might end up having to get a RTX 2080 as most 2070's are now sold out. So comparing specs i see that the 2070's have better core clocks but the 2080's have more cuda cores. So my question is, is it better to get a 2070 that has better core clocks or go with the 2080 that has more cores?

These are the two card I'm looking at

RTX 2070 super

RTX 2080

User benchmark is not a reliable source for actual performance numbers/statistics.

OP - First of all, an RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080 are going to perform nigh on identically. Like maybe a 5% difference, at best.
Secondly, I'd have thought you would have a harder time finding an RTX 2080 in stock anywhere, considering they're not in production anymore as they've been superseded by the 2080 Super.

If it's a Gigabyte 2070 Super you're after, B&H should have stock within the next week or 2 if you don't mind waiting;

Alternatively, you could get a Founders Edition 2070 Super for $500. NVidia don't have stock, but Best Buy do;
bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-geforce-r...Id=6361328
Or if you're after something a little flashier, Walmart have this EVGA 2070S for $540;
walmart.com/ip/EVGA-GeForce-RTX-2...CR2mQEgQ00

From what I can see, you're looking at $650+ for an RTX 2080. At that point, you may as well just spend a little extra for a 2080 Super, but neither are worth the premium over a 2070 Super IMO.
