Haha. I never forget that. Wccftech got you real good that time

In your place I still would have made do with your 1070 for a while longer until the next gen cards come out this year. When you look back later this year it will seem like another own goal upgradeing to a 5700 XT this late
Indeed. But there is also a time where price for performance makes a leap, I usually like to upgrade around those timesThere is always something new around the corner...

By the way, did you ever get the email I sent to you via trust? Might have gone into your junk mail, no big deal though
Naturally. Bet you are benching away. I do enjoy doing that and making comparisons to my old card when I get a new cardFunny enough i'm selling a card and had a look through my trust for some info and saw your comment there, i'll look at it later mate kinda busy right now
That's what I'm expecting from them.

I agree a £700 AMD 2080 Ti beater won't be a great deal or achievement 2 years on but struggle to see how it's fair for us as consumers to tell a company what they should sell something for. Heck, I read the other day that Ferrari make £75k profit per car.....I mean that's more profit per car than you can buy a brand new BMW M3 for and a Ferrari isn't really THAT much faster or better, and probably less reliable...… The point is, NV brought us new tech with the 20 series and there was huge demand for them and no competition, hence they could push the pricing further. Both RT and DLSS seem to have evolved pretty well now, lining up a great 3*** generation.
. Besides, at even £800 you'd probably not have been able to get your hands on one anyway due to the sheer demand it would have created. If there was competition for the 2*** series I have no doubt pricing would have better. The two years of debate over their pricing unfortunately justifies NV'd pricing strategy IMO. People wouldn't have given a damn if they didn't want one Do you work for nvidia sir?I agree a £700 AMD 2080 Ti beater won't be a great deal or achievement 2 years on but struggle to see how it's fair for us as consumers to tell a company what they should sell something for.

So, there won't be people telling ferrari what they shouldbe selling their cars for and I don't think it's fair to be trying to tell NV that their latest GPU which had zero compeition should have been sold for £700-800 tops either
It'll be good to see how next gen AMD GPU's stack up against NV'd next release. Comparing to current NV GPU's will be pointless, assuming AMD launch big navi before NV do the 3*** series
Agree, but to be it seems rather daft to me. If anything, it justifies NV on their pricing strategy.Do you work for nvidia sir?
There is nothing wrong with people telling them that. Not like they have to listen. End of the day they have better data that shows them what people are willing to pay based on what they did with the 2000 series anyways.
I did not buy it and yes I am tight, relative to most people I know anywayAgree, but to be it seems rather daft to me. If anything, it justifies NV on their pricing strategy.
Ironically many of the early complainers probably have a 20 series card now. It's only the tightwads who haven't bought one, and there's nothing wrong with that of course
I'm still on voodoo 1I did not buy it and yes I am tight, relative to most people I know anyway
I will likely buy a 3000 series GPU however (the proper RTX cards). Thanks for beta testing by the way
. NV 3*** will only be beta for 4*** if you want to look at it like that, likewise Ryzen 1 was beta for 2 3 etc. Probably for a good few generations now NV & others are going to make huge leaps forward with RT. Have to be careful with the beta definition in regards to early release of new technology......I'm still on voodoo 1
Yep, but many have still enjoyed using early RT and DLSS. Each to their own! It was obvious it was going to evolve quickly. Without NV working with developers closely and gamers using the GPU's, 3*** cards & the software side of things wouldnt be where they will be. But that's not beta testingI get what you are saying but I disagree. We only are now getting proper dlss in the form of dlss 2.0 which is what dlss was meant to be from the get go. Also only later this year will we finally see some decent games coming out that make use of ray tracing. I am really looking forward to the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2 and Vampire Masquerades Bloodlines 2
, that's heavy R&D and the evolving of new technology. I want AMD to do well too but they're already missing out on this early R&D unless they can capitalise from the work NV has already done somehow.But when I say beta testing, you know what I am sayingYep, but many have still enjoyed using early RT and DLSS.

I get that. I am not disagreeing with any of that. I am just glad I skipped the 2000 series and will be a lot more comfortable coming on board with the 3000 series
my understanding of it is different, being someone who has worked in the hardware and software side of things including through beta testing stages, working very closely with the end users. When 2*** owners received their GPU's I'm fairly sure there was no URL for them to raise bugs or even give their feedback .
Probably although to be honest I'm hardly gaming at the moment. The 2080 actually got me into gaming a lot more due to enjoying trying RT etc. I've still got a lot of older games to get through so might hold off at least for a while.
It seems you did not get what I meant then. I do not think people who are saying 2000 series users are beta testing mean it literally. It is just a tongue in cheek metaphor and to me at least it is obvious why it is so broadly used
