bit rich for me, i think nvidias lost the plot. Heres hoping Intel will bring some compition to the GPU market next year.

Couldn't be bothered watching that crap... Just wish there was a skip to the interesting bit button. Price and performance... So how much faster is it?

We don’t know yet. Need to see reviews first.
1060 owners are my official pick for everything that is wrong with the world of GPU's.
You can lay blame at Nvidia, at AMD, at miners, the "media", at everyone with some reasonable justification but the majority of 1060 owners are who I think you should blame first. Even with a very convincing competitor they turned a blind eye. That's the unit sales used to justify bad decisions in the board room.
You might assume that anger motivates this post, maybe thinking I really wanted to buy something for a reasonable price, but I have abstained from the GPU market because of Vega. I have no intention of buying another GPU, so the pricing does not affect me financially or emotionally.
No doubt that this honesty will be completely ignored and I have ruined my 1,337 post count for nothing.
There were literally no benchmarks. Just a long explanation of ray tracing and a 25% price hike over last gen. Very disappointing

Well that sounds like it was a great waste of time. I think I'll stick with my 1070ti then, prices alone have put me off Nvidia. Hopefully AMD can bring out something decent this time.
Indeed. I'm sticking with my 1070 until there's something that can beat a 1080ti and supports freesync for under£400... I just hope it happens this side of 2021

This card will do me fine until prices become something more reasonable or they continue to rise to the point console gaming wins.

Totally disagree.
To blame will be the people who buy these new cards, at these prices. They are the ones saying to Nvidia. "Yeah, we are happy with these prices".
I BET you OCUK sell out on day 1.
Soldato
that can't be right. The Keynote said $999 for Ti didn't it? How can it possibly be more pounds than dollars lol.
Soldato
The prices at the event were "from" prices the FE cards are actually more expensive.
The direct from Nvidia prices US are
2070 - $599
2080 - $799
2080ti - $1199
the lower $ prices were for AIB

it is LOL worthy isn't it. It's like they are willing the demise of affordable graphics cards.

I though in computing terms every 18 months you were supposed to get twice the performance for the same price, not twice the price for the same performance.

I know what you're looking at and they're certainly a good quality company. Pretty sure they're one of the preferred GPU makers but have no idea about their PSUs.

$999 is pre-sales tax in America
