According to Toms hardware, they estimate there's going to be two versions of the 1180 (if they call it that). US$999 for the lower end version, US$1499 for the higher end version.

I think you can estimate the prices for the 1170, 1160 yourself. You might want to keep using that 680 for awhile longer.

I guess the only thing left is pricing which won't be cheap. I'm guessing US$899 simply because Nvidia can and there's no competition...

I'm not sure why everyone is so excited to buy founders edition cards?

The GTX1070 and GTX1080 were announced around May 2016, it took until around November 2016 before I bought my custom GTX1070 at "reasonable" prices. They were either priced too high or out of stock earlier. I'm guessing the new series will face the same timelines.

Anyway best of luck to all those buying, I'll sit this generation out for now.

To summarize the leak (as of 125am KL time)

RTX2080 at US$799
RTX2080ti at US$1,199

Founders edition shipping Sept 20th. I estimate custom cards to be available for Christmas, although with limited stock. More general availability for most buyers will likely be early 2019.

1. wait a few months, retailers reduce prices of the RTX, performance may increase as better optimizations for new games are released
2. wait a few months, GTX prices will drop and you might get SLI GTX to perform better than a single RTX, at lower/equivalent prices.
3. wait a few months, AMD Navi might be announced/released and Nvidia may reduce prices

In short the prices today are all artificially high due to limited supply and hype. For most people, waiting a few months makes a lot of sense.

I'm curious to see how many people are actually GPU limited in the stuff they do today that a new RTX will solve their problems?

If you buy now, you're committed.
If you don't buy now and wait a few months, you have more data (whether or not the price dropped) and likely more choices as custom boards come out.

It's pretty clear why Nvidia had to release the 2080ti up front, the 2080 is at best matching the 1080ti only today. By comparison in 2016 the 1070 easily matched or beat the Titan X then.

Moore's law is pretty much over even in the GPU space.

In about a year, I'm quite sure Nvidia will release the RTX2090 or even the RTX2090ti, either in response to AMD's new GPU or to milk more money from consumers or both

I wish there was more competition on the GPU side. AMD has at least come up with a very realistic competitor to Intel on the CPU side, if only they can do their GPUs better.

Will gaming performance drop when the tensor cores are being used for calculations? I haven't googled myself but I'm guessing there will be a performance impact. Time to buy that second 2080ti and make Nvidia happy

Realistically I'd buy a used 1080ti and save even more than being an early adopter of the 2080, I don't plan to go 4k yet since I can't afford the monitor I want, 1440p for the time being. Wait 1 year when the 2090 and 2090ti are announced, then only upgrade.

Yeah I had some hope of getting an RTX3080 but not anytime soon with these prices. Will stick to my RX580 for the next year or so
