You have to also think , how many pc gamers are going to have 1080tis or higher? not many , most will have lower cards etc , companies will always try and develop towards the cheaper cards 

To be fair, 1080 TI prices may drop now and people will be buying them rather than the new cards.

I think they will , but it will be interesting to see how much by

The 2070 is like 4-5x faster then a titan for wayyy less... 

I see someone drank the kool-aid that was offered at the event

All I'm saying is your statement wasn't accurate.  It may be fine for you personally (it would probably be fine for me too if I could afford one), but there are already games that no single card can run at max eye candy.

 

With AMD having announced that they won't be releasing any new desktop cards for a few years, I think we're going to have to deal with NVIDIA's price gouging for now.  I doubt I'll be upgrading from my 1060 any time soon.

I wanted to sell my 1080ti and go for the 2080ti until they absolutely avoided anything about the non-RTX scenario performance.

The RTX in-game demos did not impress me at all so all the 6x-10x bigger performance in-RTX scenarios are pointless right now for me.

I was expecting the price of £800 or £899 but since it's over £1k I'll only be buying one. I ha 1080 TI in SLI for the same price, but SLI has it's own issues so I'm gonna buy AT LEAST 1 RTX 2080 TI. It's still gonna beat 1080 TI hands down.

 

The only thing is that I had my ones water cooled hybrids and this one won't be water cooled because hybrid will cost like £1.5k.

I pretty much can't find a game that I can't play comfortably at ultra settings with my 1070 unless it was a very poorly optimized game from the start. And when you just gotta pile on huge amounts of performance for one particularly game to run right, its not a fair comparison.

 

To give you an example, I play a heavily modded Skyrim SE in 4k using ENB and Reshade(lighting mods). With a GTX 980 ti(= to a 1070) my game runs at about 34fps. With a GTX 1080 it runs at about 48fps. With a GTX 1080 ti it runs at 60fps. 

My GTX 1080 ti is no longer capable of running my heavily modded Fallout 4 at 4k. I need 50% more power. It will run at 80fps on my 3440X1440 monitor but I would like to go back to 4k.  

I will probably get the new card after the drivers are worked out and put my GTX 1080 tis in SLI. 

[Tosa]

Given the current state of my wallet, I'll have to stick to my GTX1080 for a good while to come. Next upgrade probably won't be a GPU.

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

Eh, 1080 Ti still hauls ass in the games I play these days (waaay too much Crusader Kings II and EU4), not gonna bother upgrading till Metro Exodus comes out 'cause I really want to play that

Well the rub there is that you're play a heavily modded install

from sweclockers.com specs for the new cards and 1080ti to compar.

That is what I have been doing since MS Flight Simulator 2000.

 

It is my excuse to buy high end hardware.

On a game that is FAR from new.  Here are some recent benchmarks.  None of them keep a steady 60fps:

That is a good reason to. 

 

I am sure that we will both end up with RTX 2080 tis at some point.

Naw fam, RTX 2080 Ti SLI

[TheNaitsyrk]

The thing is: the presentation showed something "game" or whatever running at 74FPS (Capped 60) and apparently 1080 TI can run it at 36 FPS. So... Yeah, not sure what to think of it.

[Bayonett Priest]

well i own a 980 ti and am at the proces of building a new pc so this 2080 ti even if it is 1256€ for me i will buy

already preorderd! definite improvement

my budget exeedes 3000€ so i can ge it

[TomR]

I paid $360 for my 1070 when it came out. I can’t justify the $600 they want for a 2070. If it were around $400 I’d buy it.

Ok, but thats an extreme use case. 90% of other gamers are not doing that. So I can understand how you think a 1070 is not enough, but thats because you are clearly running some extreme performance requirements.

I'm surprised they didn't go full troll and put the FE at $1180 instead.

[AlphaWhiskyWhisky]

I think a lot of the sticker shock on this one is because Nvidia are playing funny buggers with the labelling. This doesn't really look like a traditional TI card to me (released a year+ after XX80 model card, refining the model but ultimately similar, costing a bit more but still under $1000) but rather what would have been called a titan in previous generations (released at about same time as XX80, much higher cuda count and RAM, costing much more). Of course this is just my best guess based on a quick look at the specs. 

 

I just wonder why they decided to call this a TI card rather than a titan, and if that means there won't be a more traditional TI-style card in a year or so's time.

[seklas]

That whole presentation was sooo rigged. All that 10x performance was only for Ray-Tracing. Obviously, there's a big difference between 10-series with no dedicated Ray-Tracing module and 20-series with one. However, it's another Gameworks feature, which is going to be used by some AAA developers, 4 times a year. The rest is going to GameWorks-less projects, that are going to utilise no such features, which is pretty much 99.9% Steam library. The actual performance is only going to be 20-40% better (most likely), which is still good, I mean there are people out there who are using 500-series cards etc. and are looking to upgrade, so that GTX 2070 is actually looking very nice, those with Pascal cards shouldn't really need to upgrade yet, unless money is burning your pockets.

 

Also there are people saying how Ray Tracing is different to any other Nvidia GameWorks gimmick, as Ray Tracing is pretty much there during the production of every game, however another one of those things that still needs tweaking to make use of, which means teams have to dedicate people and time a.k.a. company resources to make sure it works and utilises those Ray-Tracing cores. So, how many creators are actually going to bother to spend all time and money on something that only few % will use, especially during the first few years of existence? Barely a few, most likely only those who are sponsored by Nvidia.

[Biggerboot]

I have no opinion until we see reviews (of games that don't support ray tracing).  I will say the prices aren't blowing me away like pascal did.  Somewhat of a good thing if you still need to sell your card- they shouldn't devalue immediately.

It's sad. 1299 euro for a 2080ti here in Germany. There's a limit Nvidia. My entire PC cost around that much. 

Same here in Canada,prices are outrageous,average $1600 +
