NVIDIA Readying GeForce RTX 2080 Ti SUPER After All?
NVIDIA could launch a "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Super" after all, if a tweet from kopite7kimi, an enthusiast with a fairly high hit-rate with NVIDIA rumors is to be believed. The purported SKU could be faster than the RTX 2080 Ti, and yet be somehow differentiated from the TITAN RTX. For starters, NVIDIA could enable all 4,608 CUDA cores, 576 tensor cores, and 72 RT cores, along with 288 TMUs and 96 ROPs. Compared to the current RTX 2080 Ti, the Super could get faster 16 Gbps GDDR6 memory.
It's possible that NVIDIA won't change the 352-bit memory bus width or 11 GB memory amount, as those would be the only things stopping the card from cannibalizing the TITAN RTX, which has the chip's full 384-bit memory bus width, and 24 GB of memory. Interestingly, at 16 Gbps with a 352-bit memory bus width, the RTX 2080 Ti Super would have 704 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is higher than the 672 GB/s of the TITAN RTX, with its 14 Gbps memory clock. These design choices would ensure NVIDIA has a sufficiently faster product than the RTX 2080 Ti, without an increase in BOM, provided it has enough perfectly-functional "TU102" inventory to go around. There's no word on availability, although WCCFTech predicts a CES 2020 unveiling.

That's just what I see. Correct me if I am wrong.
I am hoping the next gen Navi which is suppose to be included in the new next gen consoles Sony & M$, that game companies do a much better job coding. As much as I dislike console ports onto PC, it seems that is what is happening.
Nvidia releasing this card which is really not needed? And will most likely be over $1300? Does not make any sense. AMD has given them competition in the mid range to the point where Nvidia was forced to launch a Super series. Now a high end Super? Either they are having issues with the design of the new gen or there is 7nm shortage issues. Its a GPU that is really not needed, and therefor its being launched most likely for a cash grab.
I'm glad I went and bought an FTW3 and a BLACK because I figured prices weren't dropping anytime soon. The 2080Ti is the GOLD standard of GPU.
I will not upgrade my computer anymore (except another 4TB SSD). I will wait till the next generation of CPU with DDR5 memory and a 4080Ti.
About the only reason I see it being more costly is due to its flagship 'dont rent, pwn' status.
