Nvidia listing it at £570 for founders. Would seem incredibly silly buying it when you can grab a 1080 for £400 though lol.

The problem is support for SLI and what games get it. I was a long time SLI user but sadly it was getting less and less supported and really not worth it in the end.

Pretty disappointing launch all in all.
On the bright side it prolongs the life of the Pascal cards at least for another year.

I have spent silly money on systems over the years always wanting the newest and best hardware, the best monitors and peripherals even though I have an almost new Zotac 1080Ti AMP Extreme Spectre RGB sitting in my current rig I was ready to buy a 2080Ti but asking for £1400-£1500 for a high end AIB 2080Ti isn't a justified price creep it's an unacceptable money grab trying to see how far they can push High Spec enthusiasts. I simply will not hand over that kind of money for product which has an unexplained and unjustified 70%+ price increase regardless of how much disposable income I have available. While the 2080Ti looks an impressive card to me buying one at these prices is moronic.
What percentage of PC gamer's would you say are enthusiasts not much once they have their 2080 ti's who else is willing to spend that amount they will come a time when the price will drop because they wont be able to shift stock.
Its not just like checkerbording though. The technology is totally different.
Moreover, DLSS has 2 modes, either an upscaling method with improved AA, or simply an improved AA

But the minimums from single card are very similar, so when you actually need the extra oomph the 2nd card adds nothing
Why are people saying £1400 for a 2080ti? If you’re patient you can get one for £1099 so it’s cheaper than 2 1080ti’s if you bought new and with similar minimum FPS you won’t notice a difference, and you’d be relying on SLI scaling working well in every game.
Also, you can always add another 2080 ti later when you get a decent 144hz 4k screen
Lol he read my posts?
RT gimmick, DLSS potential, is what I said, although DLSS will be tough to make relevant.

I expect a lot of these YouTube content creators are reading and watching the same material we are and forming their opinions based on the same information.
And to think of all the people who said buying a 1080 Ti in August was crazy. We know who the real winners are here.
Well they climbing aside from the offer gibbo just put up.
A chip costs the same unless pre binned by nvidia so I am curious who is cashing in on the £300 asus strix tax, the vendor or the retailer
Or does that asus strix cooler legit cost £300 extra to manufacturer.

Yes its a pretty insane one this, but more of a favour because as I said in other thread, its a card I helped Gigabyte to design, so they kind of owe me a favour.
Prices are climbing now simply because 1080Ti is becoming like Intel CPU, demand far outweighs supply and miners are also trying to gobble up the 1080Ti as it performs better than RTX for mining.
