1080Ti's in fairness are no longer £650, if they were rel-launched they'd be £700 - £900 I suspect.

Yep fantastic price by AMD.
Is it?
We have had a card in the market for this price/perf for 2 years.
It sure does until 9th Feb, am hoping AMD extend of course as its a major contributing factor to buying decision having those three games with 56, 64 and 7.

Hotter, more power hungry.
Late to the party and wearing clothes two years old for a brand new price.
Line up.

Which just highlights how dysfunctional the GPU market has become.
This smells like price fixing.
Whether you care / rate the new technologies... it’s disingenuous to pretend they are not there.

Yes asides from extra 5 GB of RAM, unfortunately GPU market has slowed like CPU's now (see r9 290x -> rx 590) for ref.. so now we get more cores + RAM and no more speed.

Careful you'll get attacked,
To be fair the that's the same argument one could apply to the next gen Nvidia series.
The 2080 is on par with the previous gen that's 2 years old but has proprietary RTX tech that we all know will go open source along the lines of MS DX RTX.
In the same way that Nvidia users can now use Freesync.
AMD are releasing a competitive product and that's all there is to it.
I don't understand this argument? Why not say it's the same performance as a 5 month old 2080?
Because, comparing it to the 1080Ti highlights how rubbish the GPU market is at the moment. 2 years and no real progress on price/perf. That is really bad.
Don't get me wrong, i think Nvidia's prices are ridiculous as well and this is their fault, but it is a shame AMD are just playing along and not trying to undercut them and win marketshare.

Because the latter is damage control.

Because usually reviews and products go live at the very same minute.
NDA lifts at 2pm
I really do hope that the Radeon VII sells in large numbers as it will give NVidia some serious competition in an area where they are weak unless they want to go back to making 1080 Ti cards.
There are a lot of loyal AMD users on these forums who won't touch NVidia cards because of their pricing and I don't blame them.
Good luck to anyone trying to buy a Radeon VII tomorrow, I hope all goes well.

That doesn't mean anything.
Yep nvidia are milking it as usual, allowing price fuxing to occur between amd and nvidia. But the 2080 isn't high end, it's a salvaged laptop chip to replace gp104. The true high end is tu102 which replaces gp102, but guess what Amd can't compete in the high end. So nvidia get to price away.

Sorry for the off topic but man, I loved Universe and was gutted when they canned it after two season. So much potential

I couldn't agree more plus I thought the way it ended was the brilliant, It has it's own special spot in my DVD collection alongside titles like Defying Gravity & The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Enough of my off-topic posting though,
We still have 3 hrs & 20 minutes to go.
The 1080ti/2080 will be very capable cards for the next 4-5yrs I'm not sure exactly what people want?
