Will probably need a proxy service if you're planning to get a founders edition

What a beauty...

Ye, looks really good IMO.
the backplate looks even better, it's silver instead of black.

1200usd.. founder and also 3rd party.. yet to see any at 1k usd from 3rd party in Newegg, for the 2080ti.

Will wait for the actual benchmark tbh. Nvidia avoiding most of the normal gaming aspect, and talking about RT. I'm more curious on how well current game runs instead of the raytracing stuff in games that isn't even out yet. If raytracing for games becomes a thing anyway, it will take a few years down the road. So by then a newer gen will be out.

i haven't see any games that support ray tracing so far... probably those AAA titles announced tonight? Battlefield 5, shadow of the tomb raider etc...

Well, it seems that the Nvidia Website for Aus has the RTX2080TI in stock for 1899 AUD.

I'm contemplating buying 2 for myself.

c'mon AMD... its the time..

eh... wrong thread...

Not too sure if I am correct, if we are looking looking at just the clock speed and nos. of CUDA cores, the performance delta could only be as follow:
RTX 2080 is just 10% better than GTX 1080, wile probably slower than GTX 1080 TI, while the same performance delta can be applied for RTX 2080 TI vs GTX 1080 TI.

So the pricing strategy of putting RP of new RTX 2080 to be the same as GTX 1080 TI ($699) will be able to help them to hold their margin for existing Maxwell cards.

I don't think it will be just 10% faster than the 1080ti though maybe 20-25% that just wouldn't justify the price hike of starting from 699$ Msrp at all (cards are selling for more than 800$ now). Thats insane why would I even bother with the turing cards if I must pay an even bigger premium just to get slightly better shadows and shaders for my games?

Eh should be? I'd stayed up to two a clock expecting a heckuva show from Jensen but you imagine my disappointment when he tried to stall the crowd so long with demonstrating why we need more shaders and shadows albeit slightly better in our games and then proceed to reveal the MSRP of the cards. Damn why did he make such a large hike when these cards do not have the potentially big enough performance jump to go with it? Still the new founders cards look sexy af though.

Wonder my i5 i8400 will bottleneck rtx 2070 or not.

titan xp, 1080ti sli already showed 8x, 8x is bottlenecking at 4k.

so with these cards better have a 7900x and above.

if i was a quadro volta user i would be pissed.
they charged usd 599 for nvlink before.
now its usd 79.

the tdp values of the cards are mind blowing.
225 for 2080
260 for the ti

so wondering how hot the vrms are.

also nvidia normally has a better version of turbo boost every gen. this time nada.

hope asus launches a poseidon 2080ti quick. the 1080ti version is superb. thats what i am aiming for.

few other interesting stuff.

"2 - 4k 12-bit HDR at 144Hz or 8k 12-bit HDR at 60Hz over one DisplayPort 1.4 connector (with DSC).
3 - DisplayPort 1.4a Ready, DSC 1.2 Ready."

If anyone find teardown video/pictures of 2080ti and also detailed specs, please post here. I want to see what's really inside.

Yeah, I already have the Titan XPs in SLI and in all honesty the only real game I'm waiting for is the new Metro and 3 Kingdoms Total War, which may or may not be worthy of dropping 4 grand AUD for a set of cards, especially if CPU limited. My retirement plan this December is to sit at home and play vidyagaems.

The TDPs are indeed something very high and looking at the board design, it does seem to be a lot beefier with enlarged heavy copper ground planes for better thermal performance. So I expect thermals to be a limiting factor for any clockspeed bumps.

HDR seems nice but I'll be honest and say I've been spoiled by Dolby Vision HDR on OLED. That shit is awesome. Come to think of it, for 4k, I'm better off buying a new .45 pistol hahaha

doesnt this reminds u of GTX480.. lol..

then getting farked with gtx580 after buying waterblock to cool that stupid card

but gtx480 known to have problems, gtx580 is the proper fermi

this one, full die turing only slightly faster than the defect die on 2080ti. To have something faster than 2080ti requires a bigger die. How big I dunno since turing already 700mm2+

lol the good ole vacuum cleaner GTX480.....long time never hear of that monster.

Now all the industry needs to do is make an OLED Monitor with a 30 inch size with Dolby Vision and I'll definitely pour a mint into my PC.

Maybe it's also worth waiting for the benchmarks and IQ tests to come out, but me knowing me, I'm a fool waiting to be parted with his money.

Almost hit that pre-order button... then I thought, geesh, my processor guaranteed to bottleneck (first gen i7-870 ~ OC to 4GHz) which already being pushed by a GTX 970.

I'll wait for reviews and perhaps see if a system upgrade is really needed.

Apparently the consensus on the presentation was underwhelming - 70% Ray Tracing lecture, 25% Gameplay, 5% GeForce RTX GPU details.

The part I was most looking forward to were the list of games that would support Ray Tracing (PUBG??) and comparison to Pascal performance for games but the latter... was never revealed. Have to wait for reviews.

I am kinda meh about the Ray Tracing tech, and I find it weird that there was no proper benchmark results (cherry pick or not). Really need to wait for actual benchmark next month.

I would like to see which cards, 2080 or 2070, can power 4k at 60hz at max settings.
