But Jensen, how fast is it ?

There are -Grimsby on a very hot day- levels of fishiness coming from Nvidia over their Turing cards. I expect to see a rather large drop in price around Christmas followed by a new upper tier card to Wizard of Oz people away from what is really going on.

I do not understand how they are able to even try to price a 1080ti at 999 it is offensive. Intel did a similiar tactic they offered little but demanded big money and i am laughing at them because i never upgraded from my 4770k and they lost out on a generational upgrade and thus money.

Now Nvidia priced me out i will do the same. A 1080 to 2080 should be a big leap if they try this to be just 10% more than a 1080ti with ray tracing its gonna show the intentions to shaft us over and over. This is just an attempt to push prices up 100 pounds per series launch as i know the 1080 was £599.

And if i am boycotting does this mean the problem is the 1080ti pre ordering people? Some of you fools spent 750 on a pre order and watched as it rose to 800 due to bitcoin and laughed. Well laugh now because this is the new Nvidia price all set by the consumer. And the proof is people already preordered so now 799 is the new price and the next generation will be 899.

Your not wrong. And don't forget people lost their mind at the 1080 release price as it was up on the 980
 
But 980 wasn't all that much faster than 780ti which had been discounted to compete against 290x so there was limited room for Nvidia to charge more than about £550.

Ahhh sweet sweet competition.
I miss my 390x and happier times. I was the king of 1080p for a decent run. Winning at life.
 
Any idea when we will see some benches? I think these new 20XX are more of a sidestep with added new tech rather than proper upgrade though.

Not until at least September 20th when the cards start to ship, I reckon. Too late to cancel your pre-orders then.

Today is editors day it seems. Reviewers should get the cards in the next days. My bet would be 6th or 13th september, one to two weeks before release.

Yep the loyal NVidia tech sites get told how to do their reviews and what to write.:D

2080TI should be in the ball park of 150% 1080 performance assuming both are overclocked, that's a pretty sizable jump and as you say there isnt really another option right now.

The painful thing is last time out it was the 1080 that was 50% faster than the 980 with the Ti offering more again. The justification this time out is RTX but for many it seems that isn't enough, particularly if the performance isn't there with it on (remains to be seen).

Jayz2Cents, Hardware Canucks. Bitwit. They will all toe the line. Feeding from the hand of Nvidia. They are the worst offenders by far. Hell Bitwit just gets excited because he doesn't even know about tech.
I'll wait to see what AdoredTV and GamersNexus have to say.
