The continued sniping and trolling in this thread is about to get some folks vacation time. Don't pout when it happens.

I almost laughed at your insult. I've got a nice 1080 and will probably skip this round and will wait the next 2 years until the 3xxx series come along. Except if I don't get a good offer, than who knows.
At the end of the day, I am using my brain and observations of the last couple of months. The fact that a card has a better performance for the same price as a previous one (remember 2x70 1x80 are only numbers that actually state nothing put out of a context) and it has a surplus of hardware that currently is not being used, makes this deal bad I don't know how exactly.
It's like you buying a newer car with little better specs of the previous model but with a a boost feature which will be unlocked when regulations allow it. Makes more sense now?
Yes, we will see indeed. For me personally when the biggest titles for the next 12 months already have announced Ray Tracing as a supported feature it makes sense.
Anyway, you've got your point of view and it seems that you do not want to re-think that one.
I'll stop to here, so we do not anger the boss = )
Someone's paying attention!
Now learn the rules of evidence
You are the one making the claim, you are the one who must back up their claim. I ain't doing that shit for you.
Actually asked another to back up their claim, but hey!
I asked you to back up yours, you responded to me! (Go ask them, in the meantime I'll be waiting)
My claim is that this miracle rtx technology is so far completely absent.
This is a good pointBeing in Canada the prices are completely insane. Very thankful to have picked up a 1070, to replace my 7970, for a mere $325 CDN.
I worry that RTX Ray Tracing is a fool's errand. Nvidia has not instilled confidence in proprietary technologies lately and I worry that all the investments being put in the niche RTX market wouldn't be better spent on a less proprietary solution that would benefit everyone.
Hmm... So I'm running SLI'd 970s... I might just get a gtx 1080 for $350 and wait. I'm not big on SLI (well 970s at least) and I'm only at 1440p. Any objections? 8700k/z370
Thanks for the great review!

There’s actually 2070s at 499.

Are there ones you can actually buy? says backordered. The EVGA 2070 at $549 are in stock.
Do these cards not have DVI ports? interesting.
Another unfortunate truth is that you might want to consider washing your mouth out before posting again.Before anyone opens their throats for nVidia's dick and keeps shilling for them based on absolutely nothing, why don't we simply remain cautious as to why they are pricing a mid-tier GPU at previous upper-tier pricing, and wait for actual ray tracing tech to mature enough to determine if the much higher pricing is justified...the next gen GPU after this one should be out by then.
So because you didn't sign the NDA, you thought it was okay to undercut all the other reviewers who did? Because why? You want to spite Nvidia or something?
I'd like to mention that Steve (GamersNexus) didn't sign recent AMD NDA's, but still managed to source early Ryzen chips and chose not to publish until the NDA date out of respect for other reviewers.
This is a scummy move.
I'm "cautiously optimistic".
But I'm also a realist: I've never owned a desktop ATI or AMD GPU (started with a TNT2 after SLI'd Voodoo2's), and I'm very familiar with nVidia's past blunders, plus their capability to throw polish on a turd via their marketing department. Hell, I owned a GeForce 5700...

Thanks so much for confirming! Yes, just regular 1440p unfortunately not 144hzunless you're trying to run 144hz 1440p i'd do it.. 1080's a beast of card especially at that price.
Thanks for the heads up and time, I am going to go for it.Do it fast - stock of Pascals is running out and prices are increasing.
In my local market we barely got any deal on 1080/1080 ti so 2070 is similar price to 1080 here which makes it acceptable value.

WTF does that even mean?Just run through the article and put a censored flag or strikethrough every mention of "MSI."
Leave the "GeForce RTX 2070 GAMING Z" part alone though.
GTX 970 - $329
GTX 1070 - $379
RTX 2070 - $499
Smokin' crack lately, nVidia?
*snip*
Yeah, I think we were a bit beyond that on Monday. LOL.Regarding your update at the end of the article that MSI wants to have the article taken down. Just remove "MSI" from the article, that'll fix it.
