This is because the technical forums are dominated by people paid by nvidia and when it comes to word that GTX 1080 is midrange, they begin to eat your head.

Gonna need screens and benchmarks of that card StarShock
I think he's referring to the 8XX in the graphs.

Pre-ordering is next level stupidity too
Gonna need screens and benchmarks of that card StarShock
Hard to find a comparable benchmark, but here are some rough and ready numbers. And I really don't think Titans should be included in this discussion, they are not gaming cards.
Proof right here, the 8xx series from 2015

They were only OEM rebranded 7XX parts, though.
Must be a typo because 9XX isn't there, instead.
They do and I and others have done for years,hence my sig.
Edit you try and convince peeps thst the *04's are mid range laptop chips not flagships that they will first defend upon, you best wear body armour.
Ever since they marketed laptop chips as high end and the true high end chips as Uber or Enthusiast or as peeps say Halo product.
The problem is Nvidia control the market and they have the most influence on game developers, but ultimately people control their wallets !!
Totally agree,
8XX is actually referring to 9XX, another typo. Doing these quickly at work
It's not fake though is it? The numbers are not made up.

Nail on head.
Classic 4K nonsense post.
One must compare performance per die sizes and prices per square mm of silicon chip. Not marketing tiers because they are misleading.
It's pretty funny that 4K calls out the numbers I am posting as fake (when they can easily be verified on another website) just because they don't fit his narrative, then spouts stuff like forums being dominated by people on nvidia's payroll as fact.
I've dropped you a PM.About £20 too expensive
Who cares about die size? I care about price and performance.
its what he does, go look at the zen 2 thread. makes up arguments to be right about all by himself.
price and performance is king, die size means bugger all to the average user neither does power draw outside of what psu they will need. but nerds gotta argue about things for them internet points

If you’re running a dual core i3 then yeah I guess.
But performance for me has been pretty linear across the board. I get the same performance at 1440p as I do at 4k and in both cases my 2080Ti can run 99% without issue.
At 1080p then id start to agree. But we are not at the point where you will be seeing bottlenecking at 1440p or anything “less” than 4k with a decent cpu.

Wouldn't bother engaging, the narrative will just shift to suit agenda. Just as it did with the release of the new Ryzen 3000, which was the second coming of the Holy Jebus... right up until pricing was released, then AMD went from being the everyman company who were giving CPU's to homeless and conquering world peace, but are now the devil and basically Intel V2. Unhinged.

Nail on head but what can we do? Stop upgrading?
Also there are other factors to take into consideration, take my case for example, I havent had to upgrade my CPU/RAM/MOBO for nearly 8 years, 8 YEARS!, So paying an extra £100 on a GPU isn't really the end of the world because I have saved ten times that by not having to upgrade my system for so long, the overall cost of PC gaming imho is cheaper now than its ever been it terms of not needing to upgrade as often, God back in the day I was spending around £1000 a year just to be able to play new games adequately, now a bargain 2600/9400 based system can play almost any game out there.
I don't get the "this is how it used to be so it should still be that way" attitude. Not from the point of view of the cards shouldn't be cheaper, they should, but the attitude that people feel entitled that Nvidia should keep doing exactly what they want them to do. Many markets are more expensive at the moment for a number of reasons, partly due to greed, but also other factors. Not least living in a country where we continue to get shafted.
Nvidia has felt the pinch a bit, revenue is down, and because of that we get the 2070S which seems like a great card. 10+% faster than a 2070 and from the reviews they also seem to have some overclocking headroom (even Adored likes it). Hopefully they have learnt their lesson.

This in a nutshell.
