Simple math suggests the gains here are not particularly strong. When you combine that with the real-but-less-than-awe-inspiring gains from the incremental addition of ray tracing into shipping engines and the significant price increases NVIDIA has tacked on, there’s good reason to keep your wallet in your pocket and wait and see how this plays out. But the only way the RTX 2080 is going to deliver substantial performance improvements above Pascal

It's going to be along 3 weeks for those benchmarks.
 
I am not approving of Nvidia tactics of raising prices of the 20xx generation etc, but it's kind of funny as it's a business after all.

People are banging on how expensive the gtx2080 is, cheapest I can see is £715 pre-order on ocuk.

The same ballers that are moaning go and buy 1k ish phones - the iPhone X / Samsung S9 / Pixel 2 on release with cash money, then go drop it by mistake and don't have insurance. They then continue to use said phones with semi cracked screens, backs, corners etc

I totally don't see the point of expensive phones, they all do the same thing, faster processors / GPUs on phone are wasted.

I can see the point of better desktop gpu's when it comes to gaming resolution and frame rate.

Rtx ray tracing is gonna be pointless this generation, it will only go mainstream when consoles catch up.

But the point I make is , it's a hobby and you can spend as much or as little as you like. It's not the end of the world.
 
It will be sales - or lack of. Although it's possible that people will spend £1100 to have the fastest like people buying £1000 phones, NV may have miscalculated. The market has been skewed by mining but that's based on ROI so perf per £ and perf per watt is king and RT and AI cores may be as useless to them as they are to us.
 
Nvidia share price has gone from $240 to $270 in a week since the announcement. Milking customers does result in higher profits.

Mystic Meg, is that you? Well, while you're here...

Would you mind awfully telling me where I lost my £1k phone please? I've had a quick look down the sofa but nothing. Must confess I don't even remember buying it... damn, the govt must be putting some strong stuff in my water supply.
 
Just a theory...
If the performance delta in turing turns out to be true then one could trace this all the way back to HOCP article on GPP.
It would make perfect since now, why they wanted to lock out AMD branding. Turing wouldn't have been much to sneeze at. However since Nvidia had all the branding tide up to themselves it still would have sold none the less to the unsuspecting masses.

Well at least with Multi-year NDA 2.0 we got places like TH pushing the agenda.

It would be funny if reviews show single digit gains from Pascal to Turing which would impacting price to performance ratio.
