Nah, now we know the cards exist, we'll have another 400 pages speculating when the cards will actually turn up. Plenty of speculation to go around until at least Jan. 2019.

Nvidia are good as I’ve purchased and returned cards with them direct before without issues. They also ship extremely quickly too.

Looking at the specs I wouldn’t be surprised if it is quite a bit slower especially on launch.
If it matches the 1080Ti that means the RTX2080Ti is going to be near on twice as fast which I personally can’t see.
But as most have said being new tech it’s likely to be worked on and optimised more than a previous generation. Even it is is slower on launch it will likely pick it back up over time on newer games.

My prediction is that these cards without a price cut will not be great sellers.
(If rumours of RT performance killing cards and only functional at 1080p on a 2080ti are true)
The 2060 and 2070's might sell.

It was a 6800 vanilla to 6800 GT that was possible, not to Ultra. I had two of those suckers. God bless rivatuner.
You could do the same with early 465 GTXs -- unmask to 470.
290 was the only chip I know where you could unlock to the top-tier, at least the first batch.
Both AMD and nVidia laser cut the lower-chips now so physical castration i.e. no more fun.
Really?

RTX reminds me of every early tech product that came before it, expensive, but will eventually come down in price. These are luxury items, aimed at the early adopters market and they pay a high price to get the tech first. Always have done.
It's a case of being patient and wait until the tech comes to a price point which is acceptable to you.

RTX has no application out side of novelty if you need a 2080ti to use RT at 1080p.

If the 2080ti can do rat tracing at 1080 then the 30 series will do it at 4K nvidia gettin more ££££ out is lol.

Have you guys seen they have shifted the review embargo dates around? - I am getting a bit worried this going to be not as spectacular as they were hoping for. Tempted to cancel the pre-order now..

ahh yeah that rings a bell now
(its was a loooong time ago now, many many beers drank and brain cells lost since then!.)I actually tried to pre-order a 2080 last night (sadly not from occuk) however fate must have intervened... my credit card was declined for some reason after setting up a visapay account.

It is very dodgy, and I don't think they've done it before. Super short notice!

Likely just a flag because it is a large purchase haha.ahh yeah that rings a bell now

Yeah I find it frustrating as it's been a slow wait until 14th, then the 17th, and now 19th. Far too close to launch to make practical decisions.
I thought it was at the request of reviewers, so they can do full reviews, which could be due to lack luster performance, but it could just as easily be because they perform better than expected.
We will just have to wait and see.
Nvidia might have also identified some kind of driver or firmware issue that needed fixing and reviews redoing. Or Nvidia screwed up shiping reviewers cards etc. Delaying things by a few days doesn't indicate a performance problem. People would find out anyway a few days later than planned.

The article on it says some reviewers had a delay getting their cards, so they would have been the ones asking for an extention to allow them the time to do a proper review along with everyone else.

people are only thinking the worst tho because of all the NDA controversy combined with what has leaked along with what we have seen demoed thus far showing worrying perfomance imo.

If they had s card that was amazing why wouldn’t you want to show it off.but instead they have kept outa the public eye . Very worrying indeed .
