NVIDIA RTX SUPER Lineup Detailed, Pricing Outed
NVIDIA has officially confirmed pricing and SKU availability for its refreshed Turing lineup featuring the SUPER graphics cards we've been talking about for ages now. Primed as a way to steal AMD's Navi release thunder, the new SUPER lineup means previously-released NVIDIA gppahics cards have now hit an EOL-status as soon as their souped-up, SUPER versions are available, come July 2nd.
The RTX 2060 and RTX 2080 Ti will live on, for now, as the cheapest and most powerful entries unto the world of hardware-based raytracing acceleration, respectively. The RTX 2070 and RTX 2080, however, will be superseded by the corresponding 2070 SUPER and 2080 SUPER offerings, with an additional RTX 2060 SUPER being offered so as to compete with AMD's RX 5700 ($399 for NVIDIA's new RTX 2060 SUPER vs $379 for the AMD RX 5700, which is sandwiched in the low-end by the RTX 2060 at $349).The RTX 2070 SUPER will be positioned at a higher pricing point than AMD's upcoming RX 5700 XT ($499 vs $449), which should put it mildly ahead in performance - just today we've seen benchmarks that showed AMD's RX 5700 XT trading blows with the non-SUPER RTX 2070. The NVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER will get improved performance as well as a drop in pricing, down to $699 versus the original's (exorbitantly high compared to the GTX 1080's pricing of $549) $799.

2. 2070 Super, slightly faster than 2070, same price
2. 2060 Super, significantly better than 2060, $50 more
And on a supposedly tech enthusiast, unbiased forum, just over half voters choose "hate it" :kookoo:
I mean, I'm not buying any of these. But hate getting more bang for the buck? That'll be the day...
Nvidia releases refreshed Turing improving performance per dollar; portrayed as evil, greedy and out to kill AMD.
:confused:
I do wonder if there is anything that Nvidia could do that would satisfy these people?
Perhaps it makes some sense to Nvidia if the rumor that the regular 2070 and 2080 is also correct that they are both EOL now.
In any case we need to see how well the 2060 Super and 2070 Super overclock to see what is the real world performance increase over the regular 2060 OC and 2070 OC. Obviously not everyone overclocks so that is a consideration for a lot of buyers as well.
and really, these prices are just ridiculously high and have been from the start.
The GTX1080 as the article mentioned launched at 550 dollar, and this 2080 is 700 dollar.... why not, oh idk, 600? still more, but a more agreeable price.
an RTX2060 for 400 dollars when we all agree it should be more along 250 dollars is what just rubs people the wrong way.
This happens because peoplez swallow the bait and, according to ngreed's own slides, stick with the number, paying more.
It is essentially pushing people to tier-up, disguised as "new generation of cards".
I enjoy both the fact going up (you deserve what you get) and the surreal mental gymnastics to justify the crap.
Now if Nvidia had set the MSRP for the 2060 Super at the old price for the 2060 FE then one could make the argument that you are getting more bang for the buck with the 2060 Super.
Don't get me wrong, someone from the green bubble already went far enough, to justify Standard OIl, you are in no way the first.
$699 for the RTX 2080 Ti
$499 for the RTX 2080 with 3072 shaders
$379 for the RTX 2070 with 2560 shaders
$249 for the RTX 2060 with 2176 shaders
None of this "Super" nonsense. That just makes the lineup even more confusing.
But thanks to AMD's complacency, NVIDIA can do whatever they want.
If they keep this up, and we never get a third player in the market, my GTX 1070 will last a while.
God forbid people use their brains and start voting with their wallet, or god forbid we blame greedia.
If there was no improvement there would never be any need for new models. :rolleyes:
If they did not get better than higher level models of previous gens, there would be no need to ever produce anything new.
