ASUS reveals their RTX 20 series of Strix, Turbo and Dual graphics cards

[WYP]

Redesigned coolers for better thermals and overclocking. Well.. except for the Turbo.

I always stick with Asus cards, never had one let me down, and I do like the addition of 0db on the dual, for dual use rigs it really makes a difference with no sound from the gpu when working.

But, and I do appreciate the technology they are pushing here, a the dual version of the 2080 TI is up for pre-order at overclockers for £1340. I think thats insane.

From a technical standpoint, the advancements they have made make this a valuable chip, because eventually they will change how games are developed, but from a gaming standpoint, where for the foreseeable future 99% of games in your steam library won't even make use of the half of the chip dedicated to ray tracing and DLSS, I think its a huge mistake by Nvidia.

I'm not much of a competitive gamer, but most people I know that play battlefield have shadows turned off to maximize framerates when playing online, I would think the last thing they want to pop double the price for is more shadows and effects.

Too high price, not enough benefit to the target market I think. Unless Tom's eventual review shows them to be significantly faster with standard graphics as well. The conspicuous absence of even mentioning that yesterday does not fill me with hope though.

£1500. LOL I knew it would be easy to find.. Go to OCUK, go to 2080Ti, scroll alllllll the way down to the most expensive model and there it is !

Not every car on the road is a Ferrari (or Mustang ) - but it's nice to know we can buy one if we want.

It's not a car it is a GPU and £450 for a cooler is a bit excessive.

I wouldn't mind, but Asus made terrible very expensive GPUs for years (matrix platinum etc). Whilst they looked great and cost a fortune they were unreliable. Not something you expect for that much money.

Mind you, my predictions of "early" RT were correct. Current GPUs are not powerful enough to run us at 4k, meaning Nvidia are taking a hypocritical step backward and I wouldn't want to drop the res just to make my GPU catch on fire.

Seriously, with those cores going at it 100% expect these cards to be very, very hot.

Respect to ASUS and their motherboards. There they do make a difference, and are worth the money. With GPUs... Well... In past few generations all cards performed within a margin. People picked them based on looks, sale, OCD (same brand GPU, as is motherboard), availability in regions, astrology... Time will tell if something changed with new generation, and is it worth the extra over others.

lol I have 2 asus gtx 980tis in sli I keep them for next 2 years lol cost me then £ 1350 now thay would like £3000 for 20% boost

Generally I bounce between EVGA (iCX) and Asus (Strix) cards. I like both for their good cooling but admittedly Asus' prices for their top cards is becoming a bit high for they offer. I find EVGA more realistic and the features they have been offering, alongside the build quality in terms of supercooling individual components surpasses anything Asus brings to the table.

lol it would coust £3000 just to go from 2 gtx980tis in sli for a 25% boost lollllllllllllllllll

It is currently unknown how big of a boost the new provides over the former, so I am unsure where you got the 25% from?

The 2080/ti's are ridiculous money atm. Not just ASUS either so I think we can all safely assume NV are just seeing how much people will pay. And yes people will pay. These will go out of stock on day one just like every other release.

Sadly that's capitalism.

Great time to jump on the 1080ti if you don't mind being a generation behind. You'll still get killer performance.

 

[AlienALX]

I wouldn't be so sure.

If that poll is anything to go by (OCUK) a lot of people are not interested.

I think that is half deliberate by Nvidia to make them run to the 10 series to get rid of them.

 

[Dicehunter]

Yeah I'm not touching these RTX cards with a barge pole, I have the money in my account but £1100 is taking the piddle, I'd rather get a Vega64 on principle than support these extortionate prices.

1080 Ti here is just slightly under the 2080 (800-1000 Euro)- they haven't heard of price cuts in this country It's the same on eu.evga.com


OCUK poll tonight:


2080 Ti 42
2080 14
2070 16
Not interested 348
AMD 94

I don't think those poll results are a representation of what Nvidia are interested in right now with Turing.

 

[RobM]

Its crazy stupid pricing them High but I said they would likely do this a bit back if only to make selling the 10 series easier. Their whole slide deck and keynote was nothing other than marketing bull and I would be surprised if the new cards got more than 25% performance gain in normal gaming which is 1080p. You cant compare a both gens because they are fundamentally so different one is a 1080p gaming card and the other is more a 4k card.

Standing with you there mate, I'm jumping to Vega purely on principle as well

 

[looz]

Well Vega64's price to performance is just as poor so that's a bit rich. :lol:

 

[NeverBackDown]

Well Vega64's price to performance is just as poor so that's a bit rich. :lol:

Not really. Plus add in the fact it's like 40% of the cost makes it not a bad idea for a principle move. It just is horrible for performance/watt.

 

[Dicehunter]

Well Vega64's price to performance is just as poor so that's a bit rich. :lol:

Depending on where you shop you can get a brand new aftermarket V64 for less than a 1080 aftermarket version and considering both are roughly on par I'd say that's pretty good.
