OMG, does it come with a i9

Still pretty high. We're now at $500-600 for a upper mid range GPU. The GTX 970 was a good buy at $330, with higher end models being around $350-360 which is what people actually buy. The 1070's actual price was $400-450 for along time. It only dropped after many months (almost a year) on the market. Even then those were the models that weren't worth getting from a noise/cooling perspective. If it "starts at" $500, the actual price will be around $600. That is a pretty big jump. Don't think we've had ~90% inflation these past four years to justify the extra cost.
1080 Ti. They said the RTX 270 is 8% faster than a 1080 Ti.
On the contrary. I think this pricing is to keep miners out. No way smart miners will invest that kind of money into a new tech that has yet to be proven on any of the current crypto algorithms out there.

Why not? The 1070 was just as fast as the GTX Titan X.No way in hell.
But AMD doesn't have less performance in MOST categories. The only cards they can't compete with are the 1080ti and up. Which is less than 5% of the market.
Voodoo 2 12mb was only $300

That's just ridiculous. Nvidia's graphics card prices are out of control. For the price of the 2080 Ti, you can get a nice PC all on its own with a mid range graphics card.
What's so ridiculous, it's a luxury tier GPU. Videogames do not require it. It's like saying for the price of a Ferrari you can get two fully loaded Toyota's.
I guess I won't be replacing my GTX 970 this generation...
I splurged on a 1080 Ti. I still feel bad about it, even though it plays anything I throw at it @2k.
This is just...nope. I'll wait another year or two before I even think about it. I don't care if ray tracing is the future.

Meh it'll be some hacked together implementation of ray tracing, (because we're still way off the processing requirements for another few gens), some lame ass ansel update, an 11 on the front, 20-30% perf over same product tier and +20-30% msrp.
I'm guessing they'll also try milk Ti out out the gate to justify increased price.
I've been trying to make sense of this pricing strategy, and I'm going to speculate a bit, and curious what you guys think...
What puzzles me is why release now, given the backlog of previous gen and their lead on AMD? They could have waited and cleared the backlog. And beyond that, why this pricing strategy?
I think the answer is VR. A 1080ti is adequate for pancake gaming at 4k in most cases, as long as one doesn't need more than 60 Hz, or want to push the graphics settings to max. So no immediate need right now to release the next gen.
However the VirtualLink connector is a clue... why add it now when there is no tech that uses it??? And why release the 2080ti now, unlike previous generations? I think NVIDIA is trying to support the development of VR and VR desperately needs more powerful graphics processing capability in order deliver a superior experience vis-a-vis current headsets. No progress can be made with VR hardware without the graphics cards to support.
So NVIDIA releases a powerful new card but has no competition so prices aggressively, since developers of VR hardware/software will be the immediate consumers, and then when the next iteration of headsets comes out, VR businesses will buy the cards even if 2D gamers do not.
Anyone buy this argument?

What's best for people is continuing to do what they've always done - nothing is really going to change this - and that is buying the most performance they can afford.
I am honestly quite surprised at you [H] for all the curd Nv did with GTX 10 series, GPP shenanigans not being as forthcoming as they should have been day one with DX 11/12 support etc, why so many posts about this RTX "Turing" stuff, they seemed to want you to "shut up" and not spill the beans on them (about what they were doing) but you are effectively giving them "free press".
I just don't get it ^.^
But all of parts announced today are in the 18080Ti+ category.

Well it is the hardware news of the day.
Seems to me Kyle thinks of himself as a journalist. He reports the news good and bad. In his reviews he has always tried to paint a real world picture instead of just copy and pasting the marketing spew.
Reporting on the news and presenting the facts good or bad no matter what you think of the person/company making the news is the mark of a good journalist.
Yes you are mistaken and all you had to do was literally a one second Google search to see the 1080 TI launched at 699...Jensen had a slide up toward the end of the presentation that said;
RTX 2800Ti - $1000USD
RTX 2800 - $699.99USD
RTX 2700 - $499.99USD
So the prices that caused up a stir in this thread were wrong.
I paid $700 for my founders Edition GTX 1080, and the GTX 1080 Ti came out for more than $1000 at launch if I'm not mistaken. Seems like the prices are holding still or slightly dropping for the cards. I can't wait for the reviews.
Hopefully this will be like GTX280/60, AMD is around corner with their cards, and Nvidia is forced to sharply drop prices, no way I'm buying at these prices.
