First RTX2070 review

Gibbo said:
On day 1 of product launch, certain cards shall be far cheaper than £600, but it will literally be like a one day launch special price and ONLY certain SKU's, so if you see some cheap and think thats no so bad, BUY IT. ;)

Hi there

The 2070's will be available to order after midnight, if that fails they shall be available in the morning, some are in stock too. :)
Prices will be £460 - £660 region.

The 2070 replaces 1080 and 2080 replaces 1080Ti.
As you can see from looking at our web store and other online shops the amount of available 1080 and 1080Ti have greatly diminished so if anyone is wanting or was thinking of getting a high-end Pascal those won't be about much longer.
Only 1070Ti and below are remaining in the line up with the NEW RTX cards as pricing structure shall be as follows:

2080Ti - £1100 - £1600
2080 - £700 - £900
2070 - £450 - £650
1070Ti - £380 - £480
1070 - £300 - £400
1060 6G - £220 - £320
1060 3G - £160 - £220
1050Ti - £140 - £200
1050 - £100 - £150


1080 and 1080Ti are officially EOL!

So @Gibbo is that £450-650 price the launch day special or is that the range they will be after the launch day special has passed?

£459 is cheapest we will do, can we maintain it, well that is a bit of an unknown for now, but we shall certainly be trying to do so, of course it is just for basic cards with no overclock, but as always just overclock it yourself.

The 2070 in theory should be an epic overclocker, I'd not be surprised at all to see these clocking around 2000MHz boost clock, at which point does it really make any sense to shell out £600 or so on an overclocked model when you can just do it yourself.

It shall be interesting to see how the base models clock, they could have course be power limited as the OC cards do have more power connectors etc. and better coolers.
 
EVGA are doing a decent 2070 at $500 msrp in the states. Apparently Nvidia are butt hurt over the anger directed at pricing so have instructed partners to do non oc cards at msrp.
 
Looks like no 2060 before 2019 then. Maybe Black Friday we'll see some discounts on the 2080, cos no-one is buying that thing.

Sheesh, HardOCP give it a gold award and in their review completely ignore the fact 1080 Ti's are available for barely any less (according to other reviews) even the FE is faster than this high OC 2070.

To be fair it is in a race with no competition, gold is guaranteed when you're the only entrant. Given the drop off older generations seem to suffer in I'm sure the 1080Ti will look so good once Nvidia start making sure new features choke the older cards ;)
 
Hmm, lemme see 'ere:

2080Ti - £1100 - £1600 +400
2080 - £700 - £900 +250
2070 - £450 - £650 +70
1070Ti - £380 - £480 +80
1070 - £300 - £400 +80
1060 6G - £220 - £320 +60
1060 3G - £160 - £220 +20
1050Ti - £140 - £200 +40
1050 - £100 - £150

Cheers!
 
They're up. £460 for the cheapest 2070.

Seems like an okay price to me going by the last GPU I bought, a 780 for £525 at launch and that was the cheapest I found.

With the price difference between the 2070 and 2080 it's clear a 2070Ti will fill that £600-700 gap at a later date. It's the only way I can make sense of the insane 2080 price.
 
A '70 card going for 50%-75% increased price of the previous '70 cards & no real benefit over last gen as of yet. The £460 cards will be the very cheapest quality, meaning it's £500+ in general. More expensive than the gtx1080 (Which could be had for £399 recently) for same performance 2 years later :(. Will RTX be usable on this card at all? Interesting what the future holds. Night all x

P.s. funnily enough considering the rip off prices of late I am almost surprised some have come under £500. Least something made me smile about this release:)

Sorry, but I disagree... for a new generation there should be a SIGNIFICANT upward shift in performance at the same price, or same performance at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower price IN ALL SCENARIOS... upward shift in performance only when RTX kicks in is not good enough.

+1

Very poor release from Nvidia.
 
It kind of feels like NVidia have hit a wall performance wise, at least at this process node. So they've thrown in a bunch of new tech in order to at least have some reason to move to new stuff. Unfortunately the new tech seems to have added to cost significantly.

For the most part they have basically just re-released the 1080 and 1080ti with new features, then a new flagship "titan" in all but name on top of it. Its all very disappointing. Hopefully once they and AMD move to a new node, and maybe intel join the fight in the next couple years we'll see some more interesting things. :(
