NVIDIA GeForce GTX and GeForce RTX to Coexist in Product-Stack Till Q1-2019
NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress, speaking in the company's latest post-results financial analyst call, confirmed that NVIDIA isn't retiring its GeForce GTX 10-series products anytime soon, and that the series could coexist with the latest GeForce RTX series, leading up to Holiday-2018, which ends with the year. "We will be selling probably for the holiday season, both our Turing and our Pascal overall architecture," Kress stated. "We want to be successful for the holiday season, both our Turing and our Pascal overall architecture," she added. NVIDIA is expected to launch not just its RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080, but also its RTX 2070 towards the beginning of Q4-2018, and is likely to launch its "sweetspot" segment RTX 2060 by the end of the year.
NVIDIA reportedly has mountains of unsold GeForce GTX 10-series inventory, in the wake of not just a transition to the new generation, but also a slump in GPU-accelerated crypto-currency mining. The company could fine-tune prices of its popular 10-series SKUs such as the GTX 1080 Ti, the GTX 1080, GTX 1070 Ti, and GTX 1060, to sell them at slimmer margins. To consumers this could mean a good opportunity to lap up 4K-capable gaming hardware; but for NVIDIA, it could mean those many fewer takers for its ambitious RTX Technology in its formative year.

Plus RTX doesn’t offer a big enough performance jump over Pascal to justify the prices
Another way to slow adoption of RTX tech, which must mean that nVidia is not as confident with this early version as it makes out it is.
A) wait for price cut for Turing (a -300$ at least form current "gigarays" prices),
B) wait for AMD next gen (like gtx 1080 level of performance for 300-ish $),
C) wait and grab used gtx 1080ti for 350-ish $.
I guess the C) event is sooner and more realistic
What other card has 1 memory channel disabled and measures 471 mm², exactly the 1080Ti.
Please nvidia I want 299$ 7nm 199 mm² RTX 4060 2048 Core clocked 2.7Ghz that matches the performance of 1080Ti.
And you wait for Intel GPUs. Okay.
for 7nm we could have 2048/4096 and 6144 Cores big chip. It could also be 1536/3072 and 4608.
But that will shrink them too much, too small. like GTX 2080 the size of GTS 250 overperforming the GTX 2080Ti slightly.
Now I predict we will have 4096 core version mid chip instead absolutely smashing the 2080Ti into the ground.
And there is no point, and that applies to everyting ever said and done by anyone. So I wil try to stop.
So, what can we do to keep that profit margin at 62%, if we start selling our huge stock of GTX 1000 cards with a profit margin at, let's say, 45-50%. Easy. We sell the new RTX line with a profit margin at 70-75%. That explains the prices. :p
On the off chance that AMD pulls a Ryzen on GPU with Navi, things may go an entirely different direction still... and then there is the always lingering 'new process uncertainty' - as long as we don't have mass produced 7nm chips in our hands, they really don't exist yet and there's no telling how fast we will have them.
This also has me thinking on what AMD are going to put out for Navi and what is coming next from NV...
I think there is quite a lot of demand for some of the features that RTX brings to the table, but I think to really be adopted in the market they will need to be brought to open platforms rather than proprietary systems as what NV is doing right now.
I'm quite happy with Pascal as is and I'm more than OK with sitting on it for a few years while some of these newer technologies mature.
I very much doubt nvidia will release an RTX 2060 without RTX capability...
