Nvidia rumour to be launching new GTX 11 series without ray tracing

Yes we al know you like to bargain hunt, but your 1080ti cost nearly £600, so are you trying to tell us that your 9900K, Z390 motherboard, memory, PSU, case and uperwideX34 predator monitor only cost you £400. I think you are taking liberties with your comments for dynamic effect.

My 9900k ,16gb DDR4, Z390 mobo cost me £618 after I sold my 6700k mobo and ram combo..Didn't need a new PSU...

New battery service from apple due to them slowing phones down and Latest IOS, its like a new phone....Phones dont make me moist....Its fine for what I do..stream Spotify in my car etc...
I mean...why? Better things to drop that sort of money on....Like a new PC or laptop or guitar...a phone? Na....
It's quite laughable that you get to "choose your capacity" for £100s extra, when phones costing a fraction of the price have an SD slot lol (and don't bend in your pocket). Oh yea and easily swapable batteries, which you can pick up for peanuts...
Apple is loosing share value rapidly because people have FINALLY realised there is no point in buying an iphone. It's quite comical that they are blaming Chinese economics, when it's Chinese phones that people are buying instead (ok Apple's phones are Chinese as well, but yea).

Here's another one with Goldman Sachs calling the company out for 'greed' which sounds awfully familiar. "'In our experience with mobile phones, when pricing power is lost, consumer technology companies tend to either lose margins or market share or both.' "
But the point here is not about Apple, and God knows it has enough good reason for criticism, but NVidia who seem to have viewed Apple as an example to follow.

I been seeing a lot of iPhone users at my work place refusing to pay the high prices to upgrade to a an iPhone X or XS/X max
Due to the very high prices there just going to stick with there older iPhones for much longer
Guessing the same is happening with Nvidia GPU's, Many People are just sticking with there older GPU's due to the crazy prices..

What's to not understand, if only part of your PC cost £618 after selling on your old bits and your 1080ti cost £600 then that is more than it costs for a 2080ti (from £990) and you haven't included your monitor which of course costs a fair bit as well.
Basically the original comment is a complete fallacy
Yes you have a nice PC but don't try to tell us the whole thing cost you less than a 2080ti because it didn't.

My 9900k upgrade with z390 and ddr4 3200 cost me £700 after i old off my old components, the rtx2080 cost me £70 so it was a worthwhile upgrade, dont want to be thinking about touching this rig for 5 years now.

No that is different.
I would refusing to pay high prices for an iPhone X Max just to read SMS or browse internet. It is pointless and a massive waste of money. Phones prices fell very fast few months after launch like Samsung S9 Sim Free I bought for £739 in May 2018 few months after launch and now it cost just £450 in January 2019.
After bought MSI GTX 970 Gaming for £270 from OCUK back in 2014 and then when GTX 980 Ti came out in 2015 cost £659 for cheapest blower cards and £759 for custom cards and everybody went crazy bought all these GTX 980 Ti cards at crazy prices. GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 was no different when both sell at the same prices as GTX 980 Ti been back in 2015. When GTX 1070 was launched back in 2016, MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X was cost around £450 so I had no choice but accepted to paid nearly £200 more for a GTX 1070 compared to GTX 970. I did the same thing with MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X for £739 on Black Friday sale paid nearly £300 more than when I bought MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X.
I found it more funny it was a iPhone and a old one at that. Thought you might be more of a Android guy due to all your comments. Never had iPhone myself, though had quite a few iPads.New battery service from apple due to them slowing phones down and Latest IOS, its like a new phone....Phones dont make me moist....Its fine for what I do..stream Spotify in my car etc...

What made you buy the over priced 9900K? Might as well get a RTX Titan to go with it?
Zen 2 is around the corner now and will likely be a much better upgrade.

And now just when we're talking about Apple and Nividia, it appears they are courting Apples big rival to produce their 7nm process in 2020

iphone- Facetime my daughter easier...I have little interest in phones..Plus I use my Oppo HA2 Dac with my iphone...Its not fully supported for Android.
£499 was a decent deal with 8700k selling for £389
Depending on performance I might get Zen 2 and sell 9900k but I needed a PC right now...Once zen 2 hits 2700x will be peanuts with people wanting zen 2 to drop in their old mobos...So 9900k will hold its value for longer...
Plus lets see if Zen 2 does beat 9900k 5ghz on all cores....

Well that's £1100 for just the CPU and GPU, kind of makes your earlier comment even more ridiculous now doesn't it.

I had my 1080ti with my 6700k
I sold my 6700k and bought 9900k mobo and ram and case for just over £600
Buying a 2080ti would have cost me an extra £700 for 20-25% gains
I mean whats no to get?
Old system 6700K 1080ti
New system 9900k 1080ti 16gb DDR4 , Asus Hero Z390 ,New Phanteks 400s case and Corsair H115i Platinum cooler
cost for transition
£618

Inno3D GeForce GTX 980Ti X4 Air Boss Ultra 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £539.99 23 Jul 2015 20:48:00, sorry mate but 980Ti was cheaper than both the 1080Ti and the 2080 and it was the most expensive gpu I have ever bought, but it was also the best value as I had it until Dec 8th 2018.

You're wasting your time. If Easy sold an apple for £1 and bought an orange for £1.20, then he just bought an orange for 20p when all the other idiots are paying more than a quid for fruit.
