Something super is coming...

Are the non super RTX cards EOL once the supers come out or will both tiers still be actively manufactured?
Once the dust settles if you can pick up a super 2080 for £600 and a super 2070 for £450 preferably with a couple of games it's not *that* bad (still £100 more than I would like)

It offers 1080Ti performance for £500, that is an absolute WIN for NVIDIA and consumers, people will still moan it should be £300, but the simple fact is £500 for 1080Ti performance is cheaper than any 1080Ti ever sold at and RTX 2070 SUPER has more features and offers the same performance and is more future proof so it really is a fantastic card for the money and I can see those being the sweet spot sales wise.

Oh for sure, I get that. But looking at it another way, £200 cheaper for the same performance as a card that is well over 2 years old.
Yes it is an RTX and has the associated gubbins involving a well marketed but poorly executed answer to a question nobody asked, but it also has less memory too.

It’s just filling a hole in the current lineup as the 1080Ti is gone now, and a rearrangement to tackle AMD. Nothing exceptional and worth raving about, nor should NVIDIA get any praise for the price point. It just looks good value because of the £LOL of the initial RTX lineup.

As for consumers winning, in the current generation of the GPUs? Definitely not, unfortunately.
 
So from the two or three reviews I've scanned....

The 2070S is trading blows with the 1080 Ti, plus has raytracing capability only a few % under the 2080. It's ahead of the Radeon 7 on some games, though on others that beats the socks off it and the 2080.

I might be sold... Obviously the Navi reviews dropping at the weekend are going to be interesting too. Coupled with a Ryzen 3 of some sort, July is looking good. Expensive, but good!

It looks like the 2070 and 2080 non-super are being retired, but the 2060 will stay.

Nice cherry picked game and graph :p

Strange Brigade's engine Asura is probably the only or at least one of the very few currently available, optimised by AMD itself, which utilises DX12 and Asynchronous Compute.

It actually isn't cherry picking but instead shows how much the game developers must work in order to utilise the GCN and RDNA architectures properly.

Why did you remove that graph from your post :confused:

wait until navi is in the consoles and game devs will be optimizing for AMD hardware anyway so for AMD in the PC space this will be a bonus in the future.

But this is the same logic as the last 7 years.
It's almost a none point.

but this time the dev's have a new architecture and a much more modern GPU to work with. so we might see gains in the coding for AMD in future PC games. the current PS5 and Xbox GPU's are ancient compared to navi.

That logic is the same that applied to GCN though when it came out in the consoles lol

the 2070 Super just threw the 1080ti under the bus.

hardly.... Now if you want to argue the Super series threw the standard RTX under a bus i would see your point... but 1080ti is a generation old now and the "X070" series of the new generation trading blows with the X080ti of the last generation is absolutely how it should be. The fact that this was not the case with the "old" RTX 2070 is a poor reflection of the new gen not the old one imo.
I got one of the last 1080tis from here for £580 with no regrets. those who bought one at launch however for rrp must feel they got a bargain!
 
Are the super's being released this month then? Being putting off my new build for a while now waiting for 7/7 but might have to wait a little longer /cry

Bloody hell, very impressive and the price makes great viewing. If I was in the market for a GPU, the 2060 super would do me nicely and not a wallet killer.

Kind of makes AMD's new cards pointless.

Oh come on.

This is a mid-range, arguably low-mid card in the line up. Bettered by the 2070 Super, 2080, 2080 Super, 2080 Ti, Titan RTX. There are only three cards below it? Ignoring media centre type cards.

And it has a near-enough £400 price tag. Just lol at the "great pricing". It's bloody shameful pricing. It's outright extortion.

Mid-range buyers can't afford any 2000 series nVidia card. Not one.

What do you get for £150 - £250? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Great pricing tho.
