No your mistaking it with the 2060 super which is basically a 2070

See above results in synthetic benchmarks 2060 may be slower than 1080 but in games they are close enough.

I like how Igor shows news that are more rumors by placing Spekulatius cookies in the top left corner

The cooler itself

why dont they just use a AIO watercooler like the fury x probably would be cheaper and cooler.

Add 500$ covid Tax like everyone else (for no reason)

That was the worst tech product I ever bought. I didn't manage to keep it installed an evening before I had to initiate RMA it. Coil whine, noisy fan, hot as hell. Just no. The 980Ti reference card I got to replace it was both quieter and cooler.

 

 

Oh, a random thought. We might need to check out two types of benchmark once next gen GPUs are out. One set for "traditional" gaming, and another for RT enabled gaming. That could complicate things a lot.

sounds like you just got a faulty unit

Honestly, AMD hasn't matched Nvidia since the dual card days at the highest of the high end.   Like the 690 vs the 7990.

Yeah, pretty much. You could also add AMD's Hawaii vs Nvidia's 2nd gen Kepler to that list (290(X) vs 780(Ti)), though with the caveat that it took AMD over a year of driver updates to bring the 290 and 290X to their full potential, which was probably the reason why they relaunched those cards two years later, just that then they'd call the core Grenada instead of Hawaii.

Sure it'd be nice for them to get back to competing in the top end but I mean, I'll believe it when I see it.

When the different versions of the 2080 ti came out, it was interesting to see at what price do people stop buying the cards, the kingpin for 1800usd didn't sell out on newegg, so i expect the 3090 ti to be around 1500-1800usd, and it'll still be out of stock , above that it's questionable, but consumers' tolerance always surprise me, i kept running out of vram on RE3 and had to play on 1440p, so not surprised theres a 24gb card lol. ps5 is also rumored to have 24gb.

Well, the guy before Lisa hurt their RND budget meaning they couldn't afford to.   That's partly why Raja left.   Vega was already in development when he was there, and he was trying to get his project, Navi, out for them.   But, the CPU side of the company kept pulling resources, people, and even funding from him to focus more on the Ryzen APUs and CPUs.   He also tends to oversell his projects yet that could just be marketing telling him what to say.   The man is an engineer not a marketing expert.

Navi was still definitely a step in the right direction for their GPU side.

When it comes to their CPUs though, wow what a statement they made with Zen 2. I still kind of regret not having been patient enough for the launch of the 3900X here haha, since it arrived quite late in Romania. Definitely looking forward now to seeing how they push the envelope further with Zen 3.

Wasn't the RTX 2060 close to 1080 in performance when launchedand now in latest titles it beats or matches the 1080 ?

Part of it was the Super refresh but Turing also got some significant gains through optimizations via driver updates over time.

I have a few issures with the pictures. The fins make no sense as to where the air would be channeled. Since its using a blower style it would need a path to push the air through. In the pictures the fins wouldnt allow this. 

 

The middle of the card shows thick fins which even if somehow air got through the weird channels of fins be the fan would push the hot air into the case. 

 

Last the end part of the card has no fan and looking at the top of the fins, no way to push air through. Unless its using passive cooling on their new GPU's??

 

They might use the coolers look but I doubt the fin arrangement is proper or thats just a top cover for looks. The way the fins appear in the pictures would be very anti-productive cooling wise.
