Nvidia website reveals RTX 20 series pricing and shipping dates

[AlienALX]

So in the games that support RT, it will look terrible without those features? I haven't been watching the announcements so I don't know.

Yes. The general consensus is "Buy one of these RTX cards because if you don't your games will all look crap".

For example in BF5 they showed this scene where the player is standing on a road with puddles on the ground and a car. One minute you are seeing full reflections of fire and all that and a lovely smooth shiny car roof, then they remove it and say "This is how it will look without RTX. Bad isn't it?"

Screw them apples man. Biking is so much more fun.

Although I could afford the 2080 Ti that pricing is beyond the realm of sanity, Nvidia have lost the plot, Pure greed, I'll end up getting whatever AMD bring out next.

Price is stupid, sticking with my 1080Ti till possibly the series after the 2080's and maybe even the one after that.

That is unless AMD pull a rabbit out the hat and produce a card that can actually compete or dare I say it Intel to produce something that competes and prices it sensibly, I know I know pigs might fly but we can dream.

intel should have some good raytracing experience from the larabee project.
it was just too damn slow to be useful.

2020 is when RT will kick of.

Apparently a 2080Ti has been spotted at £1349. Do I win a toffee or something?

What did make me smile was Jen was being his usual slimy self. Any way, they cut to Tomb Raider (that new one) and he makes a joke "We're going to need some more arrows". Then he laughed at his own joke and the crowd was utterly silent. I would imagine it was because they already found out the price.

It's just crazy isn't it? I mean seriously, who has £1300 to spend on a GPU to play a few games? lol.

These prices are higher than the ones announced during the stream. $499 - 2070, $699 - 2080 and $999 - 2080 Ti. I hope those are the correct prices, I can buy a brand new 1080 Ti for $649 and if I am willing to get a probable mining card for $450 on ebay. I think the 1080 Ti is probably going to be significantly better than a 2070.

#22: And here we go again. This has all happened before where AMD's Vega lineup got hyped so much as the next nvidia killer, everyone wanted it due to nvidia's overpricing, then it turned out to be crap in the end. What makes you believe the next generation from AMD is going to be different? And all those who complained about nvidia prices ended up buying them anyway

That being said I do understand peoples negative reaction to those prices, but threatening jumping over to team red "just because" makes no sense to me. Let's at least wait for the reviews and see if these graphics cards are worth the price (which is no doubt inflated right now due to pre-order hype)

the lack of benchmarks compared to a 1080 TI speaks for itself i think.
i could be wrong but usually i am not.


i mean why only comparing RT performance?
in 99% of all games it doesn´t matter.

Yeah team jumping is always discussed and always with the same outcome (so far).

I'm unsure if they're inflated. Hopefully it's the pre-order premium - it has been in the past, hasn't it?

Worth the price? No, not ever is it worth this price. I may want (need proper comparative reviews excl. RT) the Ti performance but not at that price, equally the 2080 is too low specced for what I want.

Who on here is ordering any announced today RTX 20 card? I genuinely am curious and I'm not going to judge you for it.

AMD is nowhere near. Imagine the grin on NVIDIA team a year ago when AMD launched Vega struggling to beat 1080, and Touring was handled out to game developers.

They can charge whatever they want. And if you want to play the game, without alternative... you need to buy it. I don't blame them. It took a lot of time and money to develop this technology, and like we should support game developers for their effort, we should support NVIDIA for this new technology. I can't afford to buy one on launch day like i would with some older models. But... i'll save for a month or two more and buy one. It is a lot of money there is no arguing with that, but everything is more expensive CPUs, Motherboards, RAM... And we still buy them... In this case i think it is worth the money.

This new generation RTX is the new guy in town.

How much did Jen pay you for that?

For some reason the prices listed on nvidia.com were respectively 2070: $599 / 2080: $799 / 2080 Ti: $1199 (might have been corrected by now), but in the live stream at the presentation it said $499, $699, $1000. So which is it? Oh and the pre-order came up like 30 minutes before Jensen actually announced the cards.

Edit: To state my point, as of now the Danish price listed for a RTX 2080 Ti is 9700 DKK at nvidia.com, this equals directly to $1200 after the added +25% VAT, which is mandatory of us Danes of course. But if we were to go for the $1000 (=6532 DKK) price as claimed in the presentation, the price should be more like 8200 DKK. So either the prices are pumped up due to pre-order hype, or someone got the wrong memo at the nvidia webmaster team.

Not many would openly admit to pre-ordering, but maybe a few would say they're buying one once the reviews pop up and if performance is where they think is justifiable.

The prices on the website were specifically for the Founder Edition cards, it even says so in the image in this article, I would say it is then logical that the prices on the stream are supposed to be the MSRP for theoretical reference cards.

 

[Avet]

How much did Jen pay you for that?

Why would i need to be bought to have a positive opinion?

It is a premium product, that offers the luxury of better features. And you pay extra for it. You can still have 1080Ti, and play all games without new eyecandy, and be fine with it.

I drive a Mercedes C-Class. It costs me a lot more to run, register, service, or repair than my friend's NISSAN Micra. It is a premium product that offers more features, and i pay extra for it. Why is it different with GPUs?

 

[ImprovizoR]

They can charge whatever they want.

That's true up to a point. That point being most people's GPU budget. Even without competition there's nothing you can do about people that are just not willing to shell out that kind of money for a toy.

Could be. I think just what was confusing people in the live stream, was the Founder's Edition cards being shown next to the pricing, but it doesn't say anything about MSRP.

In this case it may be worth the price. The jump from 980Ti to 1080Ti gave you more of the same. Instead of 90 FPS you would have 140 FPS. It is a significant difference but for most not worth the money.

Now you don't get more of the same. You get something different, and you can't compensate with turning of MSAA.

Either you have it, or you don't. That makes it worth the upgrade.
