Titan RTX soon?

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA - “The introduction of T-Rex puts Turing within reach of millions of the most demanding PC users — developers, scientists and content creators.”

At $2,500 a pop, "within reach of millions" seems a bit of a stretch.
 
Within reach of possibly "thousands" seems a bit more realistic... or perhaps "tens" of more money then sense gamers...

I mean, you could buy one of these instead. Or 10.

$2500? Seems like a steal to me. In fact I think 2080 tis are looking cheap right now. Probably better they bump up the price to 1500-1750 for them.
 
Had the Titan RTX been $2k, I *might* have been tempted to take the insane ice water wallet plunge just for fun... but $2.5k is pretty bonkers to consider this card just for gaming/VR use.

My primary use case is VR and with a solid year still left before next gen VR 2.0 HMD's hit, I'm thinking it makes a lot more sense to just sit this GPU upgrade cycle out until Nvidia rolls out a 7nm Turing die shrink next year. I'd hate to sink $2.5k into a Titan RTX now only to have a much better performing card arrive just in time to handily meet/exceed all expected high end VR gen 2.0 performance requirements - not to mention 4K gaming.

Isn't there always another better product at end of every rainbow? GPU's like the CPU market now just are not seeing the bump in performance they used with each new gen release - I agree on price point, $1999 was the number in my head too where was thinking I won't pull the trigger on one if its more. however, that being said, perhaps for $2499 we'll get a card with whatever issue was/is going on with the 2080 Ti fixed.

It feels like in just a few short years the gaming card market has jumped from $500 to $1500, and even $2,500.00 (for best of best) now is going to simply pay for best regardless of price to performance considerations.

Just because one product is cheaper than another doesn't necessarily put it "within reach of millions". You don't need the latest and greatest (and most expensive) card to perform research. Last generation cards will do the same work, just a little slower.
