RTX2060 spotted

So realistically, 1070 performance for £400.

You'd have to be one mental Nvidia fanboy to buy that. The "relative performance" doesn't really show how things are, the gap between the 1070 and the 1080/vega64 is huge.

The price of NVidias high end cards are often quoted as a rip off.

Having said that an even bigger rip off is going to be the price of the 2060 which is a main stream card and will likely account for a big percentage of NVidias sales.

£2400 for an RTX Titan is really steep but people don't have to buy it as there are other better options from AMD and NVidia, for a mainstream card like the 2060 it is a different story.
 
The prices are down to supply and demand though.. and people keep buying em! The 2060 ~£330 since the 2070 is ~£430 and usually 30% better. RTX is too big to fail so it'll be rolled out on all their graphics chips, mobile too.

I paid £330 for my 670 5.5 years ago, probably clocking up exactly 3300 hours on it (conservative estimate) which happens to be 10p/per hour of gaming :). Sooo options are pay or wait. My upgrade would be ~£800 GPU+monitor @ 1440p or £1200+ for 4k. We can choose to wait it out, see what AMD offer. If it doesn't glow white hot I might think about it. Also could wait until the next Black Friday deals.. or the Black Friday after that.. maybe get that OAP discount in 2045. So many choices.
 
It can't be that though as only 1.7% of people on the Steam surveys own a 1080ti, far less will have a 2080. Less than 15% have a 1060 (and is the most popular). Demand is spread across the whole range of cards. Plus there is/was a huge stockpile of Nvidia 10 series chips which went unsold and they refused to sell them off cheap.

When you look at the bigger picture, demand is never THAT high. The only time was the coin mining craze but it's over now.

I see this retailing for £399 at the very least. Nvidia have quickly become my enemy. I'd love to be proven wrong and it be £279, which tbh is what it should be and not a penny more.
 
Even £280 is to expensive for a card with the same performance as a 1070. Looks like it still only has 6gb vram as well which already isn't enough for some VR games.

Given the 2070 can be had from around 460, surely the 2060 would need to come in well under 400 to even be worth looking at?

Given it's a **60 series, surely it'd have to come in well under 300 to even be worth looking at.
The idea of 400 for that level should be laughable, but most likely will be where it's spat out into the market.

Oh I fully agree re: xx60 level pricing. I was just noting the proximity to the 2070 specifically.

Quite honestly 1070 level performance for north of £300 will be a joke in 2019. Maybe the RTX features will save it, but right now we have very little to go on (assuming of course the 2060 will even be capable of the full feature set).
 
If the 1060 is still on the market when it's released it has to be £350+ initially. There's bound to be some pre-order deals on it and it'll have to drop when Navi undercuts it anyway.

It would need to be around 580/590 pricing since that's it's competition. Any more and you might as well get a Vega56, since it a 1070ti match for the same money (excluding gsync tax ofc).
