I don't know who count as the biggest ones, or if they have all unequivocally instructed people not to buy it.
I have channels I follow and watch on YouTube and even the ones who are the most downbeat about the cards give some niche scenarios where they might be worth buying. The middle way has been to advise not to buy but to acknowledge the 2080ti is impressive in several games, but that if you have money 'falling out of your butt' then go for it. The third way is enthusiasm about the card, to acknowledge the very high price, but be excited about the technology and near future promise.

When I'm seeing people looking forward to 7nm I'm thinking are they ready to plonk £1000+ on that?
It can only be an unsubstantiated hope that it will be cheaper.

Some will, some won't. Price whinging is here to stay regardless of what cards come at what prices. Prices aren't going to come down significantly all the while we are stuck with a $1.3:1 exchange rate.
 
Still on the edge. If I do end up getting one probably will be the reference Ti with a waterblock.

However I’ll be waiting yet again to see how DLSS is and RTX is and performs in actual gameplay over the next few months.

If it ends up being something well implemented then I’ll likely get it. If in a few months there isn’t much sign of it then I’ll keep my 1080Ti.

First post in here. 8K in my rainy day account, I can easily afford anything I want. I will not be buying the new Nvidia RTX 20 series, infact if anything it makes me want to switch back to AMD after 8-years of Nvidia cards.

Likewise.

Sure, I'd like the power the 2080Ti brings to the table, but not at current prices.

I thought my next monitor would be a Gysnc UW, but now I'm waiting to see what (if anything) AMD can bring to market.

If good, then I'll be looking at Freesync.
 
I was surprised to see the 2080Ti released at the same time has 2070/2080 usually Ti`s come out the following year, now I no why with the 2080 there was really no upgrade option from a performance point view if you already had a top end card.

Would be a complete flop if 2080 couldnt easily best 1080Ti after 2 years since Pascal.

However Nvidia have been clever. Call the Titan the Ti and the Ti the 2080 and keep the prices the same.

Might be called 2080, but it is still Ti money. The Ti is Titan money.

Historically, the *80 cards have been based more on large silicon:
GTX 280 - GT200 - 576sq.mm;
GTX 480 - GF100 - 520sq.mm;
GTX 580 - GF110 - 520sq.mm;
GTX 780 - GK110 - 561sq.mm;
RTX 2080 - TU104 - 545sq.mm.

than on mainstream-sized silicon:
GTX 680 GK104 being an exception with 294sq.mm;
GTX 980 GM204 being with 398sq.mm;
GTX 1080 GP104 being 314sq.mm.

Technically that isn't large silicon relatively speaking - with the other cards in that list you were pretty much at the top end of anything realistically manufacturable for consumer GPU use while with Turing they are managing 700+mm2 dies.
 
Buy two cards for maximum savings.

I want one. But the prices is extortionate. At the moment we have no games using DLSS and RT so it's a wait and see job anyway.

Show me something that blows my socks off and I'll consider buying one.

So except for the last 2 generations where the Ti in it's current form (a completely separate chip above the *80) was introduced and also the Titan line?

The 2080 is more like the 980Ti and 1080Ti than those older cards.

I could be wrong and there is acually a TU100 for Titan, but that seems very unlikely given the Quadro cards released.

Also the logic means if the *80 is retaking it's old position as the 500sq2mm card, then it needs to be compared to 1080Ti, generation over generation.

TU100 at over 754sq.mm is physically impossible. They can make a chip as large as the over 800sq.mm Volta but it would be meaningless.
Even TU102 is absurd.

Stock of 2080 still everywhere

Makes sense now why they didn't release the 2070 at the same time as the 2080ti and 2080........ it would have truly been a laughable card on release with lots of AIB cards presumably being priced at 1080ti levels (what with the FE version being £569) whilst offering distinctly sub 1080ti performance for any games available on release!

It would have gone down like a lead balloon sales wise!

Nvidia's going to let the 1080ti' stock clear for a bit longer before they foist that piece of overpriced silicon on us.... But it's got DEM RTX cores!..... Yes can't wait to see how it performs in RTX stuff with its not far of half the complement of RTX cores vs the already not looking to inspiring 2080ti! (36 vs 68 RTX cores)
