NVIDIA revealed that "Turing," the chip powering its RTX 2080-series has up to 18.9 billion transistors, making it the second biggest chip ever made (after NVIDIA V100). The Turing chip combines three key components, SM cores (CUDA cores), RT cores, and Tensor cores. The CUDA cores (SM cores) offer 14 TFLOPs of compute power; with tensor cores (4x4x4 matrix multiplication) at 110 TFLOPs FP16; and RT cores processing 10 giga-rays per second (10x over the predecessor).

Considering the scary power that this RTX 2080 Ti will bring to us, i think it will also consume and heats alot. Im sure it is a hot chip.

So basically gaming Titan is now called 2080Ti, and 2080 is the upgrade to 1080Ti. Somewhere here I guessed this is what would happen, given that Titan V was priced so high.

Scary power? I'll hold that off until I see reviews. We used to get 50-70% performance increase for same price as the last Ti, this better be 200+% performance increase to justify almost double the price.

Frankly, at those prices, I think Nvidia should go and fuck themselves. And I say that as an Nvidia owner for the past 5 generations.

Same... thought i was going to preorder but im not really having any issues at all at 1440P and any game I play so...

not really a whole lot here to make the $1200 jump...

When does the NDA on the reviews lift?

Give me 4096 core version on 7nm with 16GB for 799$ and maybe we have a deal.

Yeah seem about right. If any thing get a second used 1080 ti for sli in sted. Cheaper and more fun to mess with sli again.

This is what happens when there is no competetion. Now the 80Ti is over $1000 USD MSRP.

Expected. NVIDIA is gonna milk it while AMD can't. They can (and will) keep selling GTX 10xx cards for a premium. RTX 2070 is priced to replace answer to Vega 64 so people looking at premium products will buy RTX 2070 over Vega 64. Question is what does the price of the GTX 1080 Ti fall to, if at all?

On paper, Titan V is better so releasing a Turing based Titan seems unlikely.

Neither do i have problems with 1440p. Only 4k can make this card crawl under the carpet of fear. But here the second 1080 ti used for sli comes in the picture, cheaper and in my opinion a cheaper way to 4k fun. Than spending 1200 buks. Yes sli is not perfect but this solution is way cheaper specially if the second card is used

Yeah, I've been laughing the last few days over the "leaked" prices, just waiting for the inevitable punchline come Monday xD
Nvidia - renowned for selling overpriced hardware - bringing a massive new chip for $800 when there's no competition on the market?
Yeah, right. The only question was how wrong exactly they were gonna be.
Turns out they were smooth extra 50% wrong ^^

Probably about $500 and $400 respectively at worst, $400 and $300 respectively at best. They won't be priced for midrange until AMD successfully responds.

I'm betting the 2060 and 50 have Raytracing cores disabled.

I doubt that unless Nvidia want a repeat of PhysX.
