RTX 2080 Ti is the Enterprise F.
Beautiful ship on Star Trek Online, it current my ship for missions, massive ship than Enterprise E.
100%. It happens literally every generation.
However, obviously with the silly inflated prices of the new generation, the firesale prices might not be quite as good as previous years.
This is said with no disrespect for Gibbo, but he is a salesman and understandably he will not tell anyone that there definitely will be cheap 1080ti's going soon, as that will hurt current sales of them.
If there is one cardinal rule that you should learn in life, it is to never listen to a salesman.

This made me laugh out loud in my office haha.
Never a truer word spoken there!
Bagged this deal in the end it arrived yesterday. I did need a psu though. If the 2080 looks good in a few months time will look to step up through evga. It will have to be quite a bit better as price difference will be 300 quid. The waiting finally got to me.

This this this!
People nowadays are far too gullible
Also, why do people think he has been doing "deals" recently before the 20xx were announced/arriving..... Hint, it is to get as many sales as possible at a higher price point whilst he/manufacturers still can demand that sort of pricing and get away with it.... Better to sell said card for £450 now instead of <£400 in a few weeks time.
The situation this gen is largely unprecedented. Esp wrt prices.This this this!

The issue being the 2080 won’t likely be that much faster than the 1080ti in existing games, and the 2080 costs more so I can’t see the 1080ti changing much in price.
If you don’t want Pedo-flops and GIGARAYS the 1080Ti is a sweet deal
First, let's consider that the 10-series cards remain on the market and, apparently, because of decreased demand from the crypto miners who were hoarding GPUs earlier this year, there's excess inventory. The prices of these older cards are dropping, but in order to sell them off, Nvidia and its partners need to make sure that there's a significant price delta between 10-series and 20-series.
"If there is a significant amount of series 10 cards floating around, they would want to at least draw that down somewhat," NPD Analyst Stephen Baker told us.
Second, video card companies know that people are willing to pay a premium price for RTX cards. If you look on Amazon, Newegg or Nvidia's own store, you'll see that many of the cards are already sold out. There's no lack of demand.
Third, these cards probably cost more to manufacture than their predecessors.
"These giant (and they are really big) chips cost a lot to make and test, and the huge amount of memory is expensive plus the cooling systems - just [cost of goods]," Analyst Jon Peddie told us. "There's no rip off here, no conspiracy."

Yup, inbetween the c and the e.
Maybe when the 1080ti is actually end of line. Come back in a few months when the 2070 and 2060 are out.
