We regularly make those margins in manufacturing. I’m not saying NV is, but mass produced electronics can be made very cheaply. And if the route to end user is short, margins tend to be very high.
) and pre-ordered. I can't imagine a world where people don't want new shiny things. Ewww, scary 
My preorder is all about hedging my bets. If reviews show that performance is good, great: I know I have a card reserved; if performance is sub my expectations, it's cancel with the fist of an angry god. In one circumstance, I get a card I've been waiting for (albeit at an unappetizing price); in the other, I don't lose anything and continue with my 1080 ti.

Too much logic and sense in this post, thought I was on the wrong forum for a minute there.
You get ALL the ray tracing games FREE with the 20xx series. All zero of them.
Yes, months typically, never straightaway.

I don't see £1200 on a gpu as sensible and logical personally but each to their own eh.

If everyone is sensible enough to do this then yea, but Nvidia is betting on the individuals that got the money to do this, and when even if they failed to deliver the performance, people would just go "ah well it's not as good as I hope for but it's not that bad it is still the fastest card" and keep their orders.
The mentality difference between paying through online transaction typing in a few numbers vs taking cold-hard cash out of a wallet, where people would and stop and think for a few moments and question their own sanity for dropping that amount of cash on a card.

Even the 2080, which will have about 20% less Ray Tracing Capability than the Ti and (probably) little to no more graphics performance than the 1080Ti for £750 seems a strange choice to me.
With the numbers flying around about Ray Tracing, I am going to go out on a limb and assume it's next to unusable at decent frame rates on anything but the 2080Ti. This is speculation on my part but we will see, with that in mind though I can't see a place for the 2080 to be more expensive than the 1080Ti personally.

By any standard, that is seriously impressive.
