RTX 2080 Super Super

[POINCREDIBLE]

How do you think the RTX 2080 Super Super will combat against the other graphics cards?

There's an RTX 2080 Super Super?

You mean a RTX 2080Ti Super?

I am guessing this is what he means as well and if that is the case, I would except the 2080 Ti Super, if it ever gets released, to probably beat the standard 2080 Ti but about 10% if that.  Additionally I only think we will see a 2080 TI Super if Nvidia feels that AMD is going to release "Big Navi" before they have the Amphere cards ready and available and it will be used just like the other Super cards to act as a bandaid approach to help them hold on to market share until their neg gen comes out.

 

I am really, really hoping AMD announces Big Navi on Monday at CES and I am really hoping for a Q2 release date at a $800-$900 price range.  That will prompt NVidia to release the 2080 Ti Super probably at $999 range and finally bring high end GPU's out of the realm of price gouging where they are at currently.  The way Nvidia greedily took advantage of the consumer these last few years has really soured me on Nvidia as a company.  I get that there wasn't a competing product but the best way to get ill will from your customers in my opinion is to take advantage of the fact there isn't a competing product which is what Nvidia did and is still doing.  Let's hope AMD can finally put them in their place like they did with Intel.

The 2080 Ti retails for $999 already (https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-2280-KR)

 

Honestly I'm baffled why everyone in the tech websites, even reputable ones, still lists the 2080 Ti at the FE price.

Honestly this is true but the card is 2 years old around and aside from the founders edition, the vast majority of 2080 Ti's are selling much closer to the $1200 range.  I guess I should rephrase things and say that a 2080 Ti  with a decent aftermarket cooling solution should be selling for around $999 or less while FE cards should be in the $800 range.  If the 2080 Ti Super released at $999, it should push standard 2080 Ti's down into the $900 range which is still quite expensive but much closer to what a 2080 Ti should have cost 2 years ago.   The only way that is going to happen though is if AMD can pull off at the high end what they did with the mid-ranged 5700XT and offered a mostly competitive solution 20% cheaper.  Heck if they manage to include hardware raytracing, even 10% cheaper would do the trick.  I know I wouldn't hesitate to purchase an Radeon 5900 XT (if that is what it is called) with hardware raytracing operating at 95% of a 2080 Ti at the $900 range though honestly, $800-$850 for a high end gaming GPU would be a more reasonable price, even adjusted for inflation.   P.S. yes I am slightly outraged by the dramatic price increase Nvidia placed on their 2000 series of cards.  Frankly, I do feel like they too advantage of their customers when they did this.

If the market is willing to pay for it, is it really taking advantage of them?

 

My crapshoot theory is NVIDIA did deliberately price the RTX 20 series that high because they knew that people would still gobble them up, but at the same time I doubt the stock of GeForce 10 GPUs they had to buy back from AIBs were going to be tossed in the fire. So why not offer them back on the market to get rid of them?

 

Then when Ampere comes out, price the thing to what people were wanting and if the figures the rumor mills are reporting are true, NVIDIA comes back with a vengeance. After all, you're only as good as your last performance and everyone got spoiled with the GeForce 10 series. Especially after the 1080 Ti came out.

When there's absolutely NO competition, they get away with high prices. Intel did this for years while AMD had nothing all the way up till Ryzen cpus.

Strange how they launched a flagship with basically nothing to compete against it to replace a previous flagship, priced it the same as said previous flagship, and dropped the price of said previous flagship when the best thing the competitor had at the time was a midrange offering.

Yep.

Expect to see some NVidia 3080 Gpus around June I think it was. Should be some nice high prices..... lol.

 

I'm still rocking a GTX 980. Suits my needs just fine.
