I can’t help feel the prices are artificially high to protect the 10XX prices whilst they clear the inventory.
2080 pricing is nuts.

There's this very simple process where you log in to the retailers site and within a few clicks it's cancelled or if you were caught with a card dispatched before todays reviews you simply return it unopened.

Blank page when I click on link
How is it best case scenario when it's based on machine learning and should only improve as time goes on? Also, the page is blank.
But they won’t be stuck with it if they don’t want it. That’s the point.
big ol' meh. the 2080ti is very impressive but that price hike has kind of spoiled that, the 2080 seems like a way worse deal than the 1080ti, oh here we're looking at ~£100 more for roughly the same performance 
in May 2014 I got a GTX 780, 25 months later (June 2016) I bought a GTX 1070. 65% more performance for the same money.
Its now 27 months since then and the closest I can get is ~50% performance boost for £250 pounds more... and that's if I get a 1080ti

It isn't besides the point as prices on many cards increased over the last few weeks and they could have potentially launched with much better figures. The cancellation process is about as much effort as logging in to the forum to make a post...
The performance improvements are inconsistent, often the larger improvements are when the framerate was more than playable to start with so I don't see the point.
There were a few cases where the average was moved above 60fps at 1440p which would be desirable but you could probably accomplish the same or better with a few settings changed.
If you game at 4K maybe, I'm guessing users on 4K monitors are people that really don't care about the diminishing returns at this point, they're probably well past caring.

I wish AMD would get their act together. The Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs took Intel by surprise and they were forced to react with a better lineup of their own, I wish AMD could do the same on the GPU front. Freesync is already cheaper versus Gsync, if AMD could release competitive cards then Nvidia would have to change their pricing and product strategy.
LMAO - I pre-ordered on the assumption of 30% performance gains over my 1080Ti (Now sitting with a 290X, as that was sold about an hour ago) and then the added benefit of Raytracing and DLSS but by all means, laugh away if it makes you happy
I think that was always obvious.
Updated the link to links now, dunno why I couldn't get it to work.
I'm talking about the visual difference in AA implementations - meaning FFXV has one of the worst (their TAA). If they couldn't get it to look better than the demo they have right now, in one of the few actual DLSS exhibits at launch, how are they going to improve it when they're looking to add hundreds of games? Afaik Nvidia isn't a particularly charitable organization so I don't see why they would do more than they already have. I will bet money that you won't see a difference in this demo 1 year from now compared to what you see now. And you can see issues when looking at DLSS in the Infiltrator demo as well.
