TL;DR/W : Performs about like a 1070 Ti (1-2% slower) at about the same price.

 

My thoughts: Seems like a pretty good launch, nothing too exciting (no real innovation in terms of plain performance) but DLSS will be pretty neat once it comes out. At $400 it seems like a pretty good value, even better at $350, especially once DLSS support starts getting implemented

I'm more curious to see if they will have another release that cuts down on memory and cuda's

There were rumors IIRC of like 6 different versions

never regretted my 1070 ti, especially now

Yeah, got no plans to ditch the 1080 in my second rig anytime soon (actually looking to pick up another for my HTPC / LAN box)

6 ??!!! so there will be no 50's to expect?

Yeah i think there's gonna be the 2060 6GB, the 2060 3GB, the GTX 2060 6GB and 3GB (No RTX or DLSS) and some other ones

I do not believe it will be around 1070ti. According to leaks it is between 1070 and 1070ti, closer to 1070. Yes, those are leaks, but if we take into account that 2070 is on pair with 1080, maybe slightly better, if 2060 were to be on 1070ti level it would make 2070 obsolete for the price increase and 10% difference. 

 

EDIT: Ignore my dumb ass.

m8 there's already reviews showing its just shy of the 1070 Ti in most games and a little faster in a few

It is... arguably the hottest thread in Tech news for the past 2 weeks, almost always on top.

And according to reviews about on par yeah (alittle slower in most titles but pulls ahead in a few, plus DLSS when that comes out)

Oh wow, not even an hour ago. I though the NDA lasted for few hours more.  Yeah, the 1070 is obsolete if you ask me. 10% difference for not sure how many hundred $ more.

 

EDIT: Meant 2070.

Absolutely. You misunderstood me. We knew for a fact there will be at least 3 versions. The wording that you used was, as understood when you read it, maybe there will be. Hence my comment.

New 1070s start at $299, new 1070 Tis start at $419, according to PCPP atow, so at a more realistic price of $400 for the 2060 yeah it's a pretty good value actually

Erm, I meant 2070, typo.

No I think the 2070 still has a place, if the 2060 6GB starts at $400 for a good cooler and goes up to about $435-440 than the 2070 definitely has a place (Clarification : The $499 ones, the $600 ones are really stupid)

Currently RTX 2070 in my country is $660, cheapest. The best ones go up to almost $900. If this gets out for even as much as $450, there is no debate which one to buy. 

[Jurrunio]

lemme see, there's 3GB, 4GB and 6GB, available with GDDR6 and GDDR5 (maybe crappy GDDR5X in the future, who knows). That's just the desktop though, Mobile versions will at least have 2 memory capacity configurations and I expect two memory types as well, and then add 6GB GDDR5 and GDDR6 Max-Q model.... 12 models so far. Already enough SKUs to form a football team with 1 spare, but that still didnt take different core count models which Nvidia is certainly going to make.

Yeah, but in US/CA/UK/Germany, etc where pricing is more reasonable

Confusing indeed.

Are we getting a 5GB in the west? Last gen that was an Asia-Pacific only model, no?

5GB model? Don't know about that, no leaks about it or anything. Not surprised if it turned into reality though
