Not a review, but should be interesting:
Destiny 2 for me is CPU bottlenecked with a 1080 at nearly 4K (90%) resolution using [email protected] with no spectre/meltdown patches so no surprise there.

Anyone inetrested or is getting the MSI Gaming X Trio - A decent review here of it

I will say it again, DLSS is clearly not on the level of native 4K as it's showing clear detail loss, and that's in a closed loop environment to boot, not actual gameplay. Expect to see visual gap widen as other forms of AA are used rather than the soft mess of TAA. It is much more comparable to lowering render scale by 10-20% (an option which is ubiquitous and not card dependent). The advantage of DLSS will have to be its 2x implementation.
DLSS would have been a big boon for budget gamers perhaps but it's noticeably missing there. Obviously for enthusiasts compromising on visual quality is against the ethos.

The Strix silent under load - that's no mean feat for an air cooled card. That price though.........

Did you actually watch the video? They said there weren't any clear noticeable artefacts and that they had to look extremely closely for them. The called DLSS phenomenally impressive https://youtu.be/MMbgvXde-YA.
ALSO 2080 with DLSS outperforms a 2080Ti with TXAA
On an open air test. That could change a lot in a case.
That's a lot of exaggeration there. There were decent 1080Ti's available for less than £699 at launch. And the 1080ti is more than 25% faster than the 1080. It's actually 35 to 45% faster.
You missed a bit. You could get a 1080 for closer to £500 and the 1080ti was around 30% faster not 45%
History has now been re-written though. What's happened before will soon be forgotten. As much as 7nm cards will no doubt improve upon this tech, everyone is in dream land if they think those cards will suddenly become a bargain. The new precedent has been set and sky is the limit now for pricing. Only SERIOUS competition from AMD (or perhaps Intel in the future) will change that.
The market sets the price.
Nvidia set it, enough people pay to keep it that way. That seems to be way of things, and when was the last time consumer outcry on cost, or refusal to purchase, saw prices DROP on a GPU? I don't recall.
It all comes down to sales figures. The supply chain must all make money and that comes from volume turnover not massive margins.
My only point is, in respect to GPUs, I don't recall market behaviour seeing a decrease in price responding to such behaviour... at least not in the short term upon new release of a product. It's certainly happened the other way round though, with prices going nuts during the mining craze of course. Who knows what will happen this time around, but it's not like we haven't heard the "don't buy it and they'll lower prices" line before, but that never bears any fruit... I can't think of a single incident where it has.

I'm personally looking for DLSS to augment my playing resolution by giving some top class AA, so I can certainly live with that.
Not a mainstream release in the same vain as 2080/2080Ti though. And what were the circumstances surrounding the Titan Z exactly... that's a few years ago, I don't recall what happened there.
