I feel sorry for NV and their unsold GPU mountain.

Ha ha, I hope they get hammered this gen and learn a valuable lesson about trying to rip off you're own bread and butter customers.
Still quite a bit too expensive for my tastes, but good to see them moving in the correct direction. Hopefully we will see some market balance within the next year, things are still very skewed thanks to Nvidia and pricing their cards in such a way as to move on their old stock first.

Just imagine how they'll price the next gen to move these 20x0 cards!
Depends if they manufacure too many again, I doubt they will make that mistake again as it did hit their shares pretty hard.
Well we don't know that for sure, people thought their 1080ti's would depreciate yet I was able to sell my 1080ti for 75% of what I paid for it after 12 months of ownership
I do agree though, the 2080ti is overpriced and I don't expect future cards to be priced the same, also future cards will be on 7nm so expect big performance gains - it all points to getting pennies on the dollar for what we paid, but it's ok because as I mentioned half my 2080ti's price was covered by selling my 1080ti
I think nVidia's top tier card (excluding Titans) is always going to be £1000+ from now on.
We'll just see more models filling in at the lower end of the scale at the price points people want to see (but not necessarily the performance they are expecting).
Why would they change anything when they have no competition?

lol it runs out of vram in some games at 4k where the 1080ti does not, would not touch it at £600.

Exactly, and I hope the the people who had their trousers pulled down with this NV gen, particulary the god-awful 2080ti, have learned a lesson and will keep their wallets shut if NV try and ream them again.

Just like how 1070 8GB still have enough vram to use high-res texture for some games but the 1660ti 6GB does not

There's that good old Nvidia built in obsolescence.
Watched an interesting video the other day on this.
It's one of the reasons Nvida stopped AIO's from adding extra Vram to cards.

Yep when a big company is on a roll with its products they seem to get cocky then abuse the trust of the customers that put them in that position.
The minute there is an viable alternative then the customers will show how much loyalty they have. Happens time and time again.

Whatever anyone says about the prices of them, they must be selling, as Gibbo said, this has nothing to do with Nvidia, its him thats got a price drop.
If these cards were not selling, then Nvidia would drop the prices, its as simple as that, but they havn't, as ive said before, we will buy them, at any price.

I'm not so sure - this smells like a similar practice to intel who will doggedly not budge on price and would rather keep high margin and sell less units.

Not strictly true. Some times it's important for the brand to be expensive for expensive sake. Look at Apple.
It would diminish the brand if they started selling budget devices and offering price cuts.
Expensive is sometimes a sales tactic. The luxury/premium brand.

This is very true of apple and they also don't mind failures through out there branding. and now it seems NVidia are following apples marketing strategy. price high even if failures loom in the market, ignore customers and drag the loyal into your ecosphere.
the one problem is that sooner or later some company will beat your product and even the loyal will jump ship to own the best. its happened before and will happen again. sooner than later I hope with these prices for RTX

Yep, thanks to the "must have Nvidia at any cost" people. All those people have done is shoot themselves in the foot. The AMD VII card is a belter card. People should be supporting AMD so they can catch up with Nvidia or offer some sort of competition in the high end again. More money for AMD R&D, means lower prices later on as Nvidia will have to be competitive price wise. God help those people having to turn a graphics dial down a notch to get 60FPS on an AMD card....
