They did deliver more power. They just also delivered rtx along with that. And no that is not what people are complaining about because people are clearly complaining about the price. 

Only card that has more power is the 2080ti. Really the only card worth buying from the rtx lineup. Unless you have to have rtx and can't afford a 2080ti your better off buying a 10 series gpu.

Not saying this is guaranteed fact, or even a factoid if you will, but this leak from way back seems to clarify that subject (from our German friends @ 3DCenter.org):

Seems like more reaching and guessing.  The fact they put the Titan in two of the wrong rows would indicate they're grasping.  Historically, the Titan is the same GPU as the xx80Ti, with all of the cores functioning.  Same reference card, same chip, same memory banks (different memory chips), etc.

Not entirely true. First off the difference between new and used is an important distinction because used prices are not constant and buy used has more risk involved as they are older gpus and will likely lack any warranty at this point. So while some were able to buy used 10 series cards that might have had a better deal than the 2000 series card that can basically be said about most used cards otherwise nobody would buy used cards If they didn't provide some type of better value over new. Also the 2000 series has more features that the 1000 series doesn't like better quality nvenc which is huge if you want to stream. Also they have better asynchronous compute as well so some games show big improvements between 2000 series gpus and 1000 series GPUs.

They'll probably just rehash some older GPU. Probably something from Turing GTX series.

 

What's the biggest shame is that they don't utilize Tensor and RT cores to accelerate things we already have and know. Like for example push SSAO/HBAO instructions of existing games through RT cores instead of regular shaders. Or use Tensor cores to accelerate edge smothing algorithm. Something like SMAA, but more advanced, accurate and taxing that could be used in all games and would benefit from Tensor cores at finding edges and stuff. Coz why waste all this good compute estate until RT actually becomes any kind of used standard...

That would be fine, if it's more powerful than the 1660 for around the same cost. Though adding in a few RT cores for the occasional blendering I do wouldn't hurt.

 

I couldn't possibly begin to tell you if that's realistic or not. They claim the RT cores are specifically for ray tracing, but I don't know what that means or why it wouldn't be able to do literally anything else. Although if it's RT cores, it could do a ray traced AO potentially.
