At what point other than against the reference, the GTX780Ti was beating the 290X? Atleast post January 2014 drivers, that wasn't issue.
And today the GTX780Ti is battling with the GTX1050Ti while the 290X/390X even beats the 1060 6GB.

Oh yes if your paid in dollars, your winning at life, awesome stuff.
That applies to CPUs.... 1920X for $249....
At the point the 980 launched, as referenced by the post you quoted.

I don't think so, and don't see anything new that justifies this one tbh.
EDIT:
Merged and renamed
In fairness, that line was penned before eBay had been invented.

Well they raised their Titan prices, so no reason at all they wouldn't raise their others.
We all know people on here will have the shop open in another tab, so they can just hit the buy button on a 2080, while posting how their prices are shocking, they're having a laugh, xxxx for a 2080, they can do one etc... etc...

Yeah. Even Gibbo on the other discussion, expects the Pascal prices going up not down.
Which comes down to previous post
being spot on correct of what is expected until late 2019.
Enjoy monopoly
Didn't the 1080 launch at $599?
They're were some 1080s available at launch for about £540 if memory serves?
The 780 was just a cut down Titan though, that's why it had a higher launch price. The 980 was a lower tier card so was cheaper to produce.
They could price it anyway they want to. They aren't a charity, but, they aren't going to price themselves out of the market either. Don't think Nvidia had much competition back when then, AMD had nothing to compete with the 980. I am still going to say that the 2080 will be max $50 over the price of the 1080 launch price. This is for the normal cards, not the FE ones. Paying $699+ for one of those just to get it a couple of weeks earlier than everyone else?
The Founder editions were $699.
The early 2014 drivers gave the 290X a big boost but it wasn't until well into 2014 before it was keeping up with the equivalent Kepler cards across the board (there are plenty of reviews from mid 2014 that support that).
When I bought my 780GHz in 2013 a friend of mine bought a 290X Tri-X and at that point my 780GHz was all over his card - it wasn't until well into 2014 that he started to claw back the difference and it was close to 2 years later that drivers allowed him to comprehensively match or beat my card - which was a bit late in the day as we both ended up upgrading not long after that - though last I heard he was back on the 290X waiting for newer cards.
I wouldn't go by the reviewer numbers for Kepler cards though - for some reason most of them must be either using Boost 1.0 testing methods or holding back the cards to their reference boost clock or something i.e. 780 at 900MHz (which would match the numbers) when in reality the end user would see them boosting to atleast 1007MHz out the box (no tweaks). As can be seen from end user testing https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/r9-290-vs-gtx-780-ti-mid-2018.18827620/ the numbers many mainstream reviewers for some reason come up with for Kepler cards is plain wrong. That said Kepler cards do fall down badly in certain games/applications these days and the 3GB VRAM can be a disadvantage (one of the reasons I upgraded to the 1070) versus the 4GB on the 290 cards so I wouldn't recommend them over those cards.
I don't know what the performance is going to be like but i am very confident these are going to be £100-£150 more than their respective counterparts from previous launches.
$3000 RTX Titans
$1200 RTX 2080 TI
$899-$1000 for 2080
all simply because of clever marketing, high demand and AMD GPU not competing this time round.With these prices, i am just going to keep my 1080Ti specially if its within 8% of GTX 2080.
make sure you order extra lube this time round boys

Take a look at how NVIDIA decimates AMD in this new game as well!
Stop coming up with false theories based on one game!

Nonsense imo. People said the same with 1080Ti also. Back then Nvidia were in command of the market also, they did not charge that much.
its easy to bash AMD though.
that would make sense as they know people will still buy it. And people holding off will probably just throw their arms up and buy a 1080. Once the surplus has depleted then they may drop the price.
There were plenty of cards cheaper than the FE, still.
i hope you are right but the prices of the graphics cards over the last 2 years would seem to indicate otherwise. The TI were so expensive that people were buying TitanXP from Nvidia website. My statement however is not laying blame with Nvidia 100% a lot of the price gouging is from thee retailers and high demand for miners.
