2070 or 1080

[Marine-RX179]

Just think of what nvidia could have offered consumers if they ditched the tensor and rt cores and just offered more Cuda cores or alternatively launched a far cheaper 2070 sans these largely superfluous additions (when implemented as weakly as the 2070 is looking to shape up) with a far smaller, cheaper to produce die.

The 2070 cant put much of any ground between itself and the 1080 in available titles for a similar cost.

At least the previous two xx70 cards were competitive , performance wise, with the previous gen xx80ti cards (and well clear or the previous xx80 cards) and came in far cheaper then the launch msrp of the previous gen xx80ti cards they were performance competive with whilst offering more memory to boot!

The 2070 and 2080 are poor offerings from nvidia.

It's all accordingly to Nvidia's plan though.

To them if people buy the overpriced RTX- great; if people don't buy them but buy the excessive leftover 10 series stocks- even better.

As a consumer I don't really agree with Nvidia's pricing, but looking at them as a business they are definitely smashing it as they got the market and the consumers right where they want them and leading them by the nose.

I think there is some hope that nvidia may have become a bit complacent by pushing RTX at considerably additional costs to consumers when ...

A) there's no products utilising it at launch or for quite some time thereafter by the looks of things

And

B) it's not looking to be all that great anyway (who want to pay serious money these days to play games at 1080p whilst struggling to reach 60fps?)

Hoepefully AMD can give nvidia a good kicking by releasing at least a competent 'mid range' product for circa £250 - 350 with at least the performance of the 1080/2070 in the majority of current games (ignoring any as yet unknown rtx stuff)

1080 FTW owner here 3440x1440 60Hz no need for anything more powerful. The 11ghz bios gives a nice little bump on top of the automatic 2000+ MHz boost clock.

I keep talking myself out of upgrading, I've got a 1080, same res as you but 100hz and frame rates are well up there on most modern games.

Yep, 1080ti here 0n 100hz and that's the way it's going to stay, I will be skipping the 20 series as the only real upgrade for me would be the silly crazy priced 2080ti and I aint paying that even if I could afford it I wouldn't touch it at those prices.

Are they doing a turing titan "TT"?

I reckon they will, very sure in fact.
I usually buy the Titan. Hope I don't regret buying the 2080 when the Titan arrives but I think for first gen of RT, what I've spent is enough - and I;m not a hard core gamer. Always nice to have the top end card though - no compromises (other than empty wallet)

Probably a 2 grand card, enjoy your new 2080 man.

Don’t cave into it mate, resist the temptation and keep enjoying the 1080 by the time you really need to upgrade, the ti or the RTX 2xxx series will be old tech.

I doubt it, well, it won't be for consumers. They made a big deal when they released the Titan Volta of saying that they were moving the Titan brand to the Prosumer market.

So they might release a Titan Variant for the Professional market but, it will be at least £3000.
