My BFG 8800 GTX was £329.99 ex VAT in December '06 from OcUK.
What was the GX2's price back in the day?

I don't think the sales of the 2080Ti have been good enough to justify. Failure rates included, I think the interest isn't that high. To be fair I wasn't expecting massive interest just based on the price.I've maintained for a while that the golden age of GPU's is well and truly over. These prices are here to stay. The next Ti nVidia card (3080Ti or whatever they want to call it) will also be £1000+
People who wants to spend £500 or less will just need to buy the relevant tier card or 2nd user.
It's not fun, but it's how it is.

The TROH board makes interesting reading for the 2080 Ti, apart from the fact that there are not many on it the sales have really slowed down in December. There was more new RTX Titan owners in December than 2080 Ti ones.
Apart from the high asking price which is putting people off, the Turing card Tech does not seem to offer people what they actually want.

Well the cards not really what it was meant to be. IIRC this was meant to be a 7nm card and they had to make do with 12nm if they wanted to have it out in 2018. 7nm would likely have made it an overall faster card and made raytracing more palatable in all likelihood.
I dunno... it is what it is and that is fine, i aint gonna moan about the price of RTX or Radeon 7. what winds me up however is the double standards... Not aimed at an individual and it is not really just aimed at this forum, but I am seeing a hell of a lot more defending AMD with their card pricing, which at the moment at least looks to be on a par with the RTX 2080 price wise and on a par with it performance wise as well, but without RTX or DLSS.
so, everything else aside IF Nvidia are taking the wet yellow stuff on the pricing of the RTX 2080, then what does that say about AMD, given that turing took a truck load of development costs, where as Radeon 7 is just a salvaged failed part which would have otherwise been destined for the bin.
IF NV are ********* with their pricing then surely AMD are just as bad, ?
I am surprised NVidia did not hold out for 7nm with Turing.
Maybe they were worried about the possibility of a card like the Radeon VII coming along and taking sales from the 1080 Ti.
Having said that NVidia could not have known far enough in advance about the Radeon VII to effect launching Turing on 12nm.
AMD do have better hardware bring up guys..
What does that term mean exactly? I've heard that a few times about "bringing a gpu up" when they get the first chips back from fab. No clue what it means though.
Presumably it has nothing to do with bottle feeding or changing nappies.
I remember the 8800gtx being around £300 - that was probably a year after launch though.When did you buy the gtx? On launch they were around £400-£500+ depending on the brand.
