Nvidia announce RTX Super card Founders Edition Pricing

@Gibbo thanks for that. I'm seeing it's July 23rd for the 2080S.

I'll keep an eye out for the launch.

Anyone who buys a card called "super" needs their head checked.

The second hand 10xx series cards are the way to go. Save some money and wait for the next cards.

You forgot the "Turbo" branding in the 80s!!! Same thing

Meh, I couldn't care less about the naming convention or marketing. How close will it get to the 2080ti performance, that's what interests me as the price is within my target area. I will no doubt rule the purchase out when the time comes, but will keep my ear to the ground nonetheless.

Naming conversion aside, the prices are still out of line and too high. That should be the reason to wait/keep your wallet closed, not the name.

Still looks £70 too expensive for the tiers and more like the hardware they should have released at launch for those tiers and even then that is stretching it a bit.

I’d go as far as saying closer to £150 too expensive in each tier.

That's true but we all know that's not going to happen. The 30xx series will be some kind of record breaker in regards to price.

Nah, not if the rumours of the AMD 5800-series being dropped in Jan are any indicator. If they can push it close to 64 CU's (ie Faster than 2080Ti) then nVidia are gonna have a hell of a fight on their hands

Power envelope may not allow though, maybe a 56 CU part might be top. All guesses at present.

Now that you've mentioned it, it was rather strange that they are calling these new Navi releases the "57xx". It is almost like they are reserving the labelling of "58" and "59"...

I mean back in the 2009, the 5850 and 5870 dominated the GTX285 for over 6 months, before Nvidia eventually released the infamous "egg frying meme" Fermi GTX480, at £150 higher priced than the 5870 no less. Guess one could dream that AMD with the new "58" (if they indeed releasing it) would mark the milestone of being able to really compete with Nvidia in performance again...

Yea...one could hope...

I can certainly see 5800 being used and 5900 being a backup just in case next-gen over-runs or nVidia spring a surprise that they have to react to. I'm expecting them to have a RT solution by the 5800-series though (some CU's being used to do it for instance, then being able to revert to normal raterisation when not present/required. That sounds like a great approach).

Sadly, when was the last time AMD were genuinely competitive at the high-end of graphics cards? It's been a while.

I would much rather have paid less and gone for an AMD card with my last build but for what I needed a GPU to do, but they couldn't even come close unfortunately.

For quite some time now every release of a new AMD GPU has been somewhat underwhelming.

Tbf in some games even if the 5800-series is 30% faster it'll be flying!

We'll have to keep our fingers, legs and arms crossed TBH.

I really don't understand peoples beef with the "Super" branding, most of us are going to weigh up the price to performance like any card regardless of the name.

I'll be upgrading to a 2070s, just can't be bothered dealing with a second-hand GPU with it's potential warranty pitfalls.

£390 for a 5700XT and given the card are more or less tied in performance against the 2070s I honestly thought it would make Nvidia more competitive.

They aren’t really tied though.

2070s is not only a faster card but won’t have the heat/noise issues that Navi blower cards have. Once we know AIB Navi prices then we can make a better comparison.

Very competitive against the RTX 2070

ofc that swaps around in different titles but its a good card from AMD
