And so goes the routine for 99.9% of gpu launches, its the same sad story time and time again, brexit, pound vs dollar, supply and demand (amazing how launching a new product always miraculously comes with low stock by default) etc etc. No Matter what we get pumped.

We were saying earlier that probably nvidia knows exactly what amd are doing, way before we do and already line up products to compete, some say spies inside, others said the fabrication plants workers
@MissChief When are we playing apex, i invite you about 20 times a week lol

Nvidia is the only winner in this. Most people are just pawns in Nvidia's game.
I know but I'm rarely playing by myself and usually already in a group!

Cheaper pricing is welcome however seems like a kick in the nutts too soon for people who have already bought.
Its Tech, it's always going to be a kick in the nuts. It's also been 10 months.
It's how tech works. You get a kick in the nuts either way.
You can either buy at launch and see people buying cheaper a year or so later. Or you can buy cheaper later on only to get kicked in the nuts when a better GPU comes out 4 months after you bought one.

Only way to not get kicked in the nuts is to have enough disposable income to not care.

Oh right, thought it was less than 10 months. 
Eh personally I can't not care enough to still feel like I'd be a mug with some of the pricing/tier ratios.

My 2080Ti arrived on September 29th 2018
So that's about 8 months.

Whoops 
Just putting it out there, is their any reason why Nvidia cannot use PCIe 4.0 compatibility on the new 2060s, 2070s, 2080s. Just to steal a bit more of AMD's thunder?
What is it that makes a card PCIe 4.0 compatible anyway, other than a checkbox on the packaging. Just the throughput that it is capable of or what?

Awwwwww you missed a great time to make up some amazing things from the futureWhoops
Unless the silicon was designed to include a PCIe 4 block, you can't just overclock gen 3. Gen 4 is backwards compatible, but a licence for the IP would be more expensive (I doubt Nvidia have developed their own IP here, so they would need to licence it). Also introducing a gen 4 compatible controller at this point when it's simply not required for a GPU, might also introduce compatibility risks as well as increased cost.
The only thing I know of that you need PCIe gen 4 or better at the moment is 200Gbit ethernet or infiniband adapters. gen 5 will be required for 400Gbit and they're coming soon. There's a fair amount of speculation as to whether a number of companies will skip gen4 completely and go straight to gen5.
