Yeah. I and many here said it, he said that because he wants to get rid of old inventory at full price. It was somewhat obvious

As I've already said I'm happy with my 980 Ti even though I've had a 1080 Ti before now which I sold for £700 I'd happily snag one up for £400 off someone Who is desperate for the latest tech as that's just not be anymore. And the Ti does a fine job at 4k 60hz

I think this will be GTX 2080 I can't see RTX 2080 happening, The cost will be to much.
RTX will be for the professional GPUs clever nvidia marketing.

I'm pretty pleased with my 980ti. But the 1080ti is a bigger than usual jump right?
I might be tempted if they come close to 450-500.

Whynot the GTX 2080 R
Don't give them ideas. They'll have the 'S' edition, followed by the 'R', the 'X' and then the 'ti'.
And that's just on the 2050 brand.

This place is hillarious as always. The usual suspects coming out and declaring whether they will or won't buy something before it's launched. They will all buy it anyway when the hype hits as they always do, let's face it who with a powerful GPU is going to throw away the chance to get the latest one for a cost to change of less than £400 when their rig probably cost £2k+ anyway.
As usual plenty of moaning about price and performance before anyone knows what either of those metrics will be. Lots of speculation about how the new features will be a complete waste of time in the short term and nothing will take advantage of them.
For me if Nvidia come out with a card that has Ray tracing baked in then that is a good reason to upgrade. I've got a 1080 I bought at launch and it runs everything fine on my 60htz ultrawide monitor I want to play. If I can upgrade to Ray tracing and a decent game has a great implementation of it then I'll upgrade and maybe even buy 2 of them to make sure I have the best experience. That is far more exciting to me than a few more pixels (4k) or a better refresh rate, or even slightly better vr experience.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Nvidia bring to the table on this one. If it's £700 and gives us something new I'm in.

Yes but by the time it's used in games then it's going to be so dog slow at doing it it's a totally pointless reason for getting the card! Always the same with the first gen of anything, that much we've learned from the past.

I guess we will see, not sure we have ever seen specific hardware for it though outside of physix which had reasonable support when it first came out.
But as they say in other fields past performance is not an indicator of future returns.

This is from the Kitguru article, and it's CLEARLY a 'G' not an 'R'. Now of course some will question whether this is an actual 1180/2080 box, but there's every reason to think it could be. It's not like they won't have the boxes made up and ready.

Not looking good for you is it? AHH, karma is so sweet.
Karma?? ROFL!! I'll be happy as Larry if I'm wrong on this! Not sure why you'd think otherwise. It won't be RTX for no reason, it will be because they've completely blown the lid off in performance terms and brought Turing to the table. It won't be a Volta GPU as many (including myself) thought it would be if it's RTX. Again, I will be delighted if this is the case... providing the price is right, but indications are so far that it won't be extortionate.
Still, Nvidia have no real reason to do this... I'm intrigued what their long term plan is here, but they've got zero competition from AMD, unless they know something we don't. Bringing such a powerful card to market is great for consumers though, assuming it all pans out as it is appearing to be.

Nvidia had no competition when AMD released the 2900 cards. That didn't stop Nvidia from releasing the 8800 GTX Ultra and then the 9xxx cards as well.

Well, because you accused the "internet" of being stupid when in fact...
Again, why you'd think I'd put my own pride about getting that wrong ahead of the opportunity to get hold of a stonkingly powerful GPU is utterly beyond me!? If YOU imbue comments you make online with such importance then so be it, but I do not.
Two Reasons, first going all in, so many people move to RTX cards, which will help gaming adoption and give them further advantages in the future. 2nd 7nm will probably come in Q3 or Q4 2019. So they have only 1 year to sell turing, before they'll change to 7nm.
