To be exact 43 % more expensive , so if it will be similar in performance gain. Then after such long wait , we would pay the same amout of money per frame ? You call it progrress ? I would describe it as being greedy .

You take the pre order price. Yes that is 43% more. SEP is 30%.

No the prices are just sick in my opinion , especially considering it's the same amout of memory and old 12 nm manufacturing proccess .

I'm so confused. SEP? Suggested ____________ Price? Does NVIDIA only show the Founders Edition price on their website which has an NVIDIA branding premium on it? SEP is more realistic for AIB pricing?

No that's sep pricing . And founders edition rtx 2080 ti is 1199 $ so it's even more expensive .

Old? Titan V released in December 7th 2017. There is nothing newer currently. 7nm is upcoming. Besides considering the die sizes - good luck manufacturing these behemoths on a node that has not even produced a single mass market product. What you're asking is that Nvidia should have delayed Turing to 2019.

I paid my 780 700$CAD (vs. 900$ now) when it got released.

I think they're exagerating a bit like Intel.

AMD, could you please do the same thing that you did with Intel but with Nvidia?

I mean, I love PC gaming but damn it's now a luxury with the price of the GPUs and the price of the memory that high. I know you can create low cost PC but will the gaming experience be still nice compared to ps4 pro for example?

dunno.

Looks like game streaming is the future.

Maybe EA was right afterall! :fear::cry:

EDIT;

Wow I'm just checking the new price for GTX 1080 ; 600$ CAD, it's a joke for those who bought it 900$CAD 1-2 months ago.

So actually the price of gtx 1080 ti founders edition while introduced was 699 $ , rtx 2080 ti is 1199 $ , so founders to founders edition is 72 %%% more expensive

The frightening thing is, the 2060 could be pushing $400 :(

I wouldn't be surprised if it is $400 for the RTX 2060 3/4GB, $450 for the RTX 2060 6/8GB, they may go with $300-400, but given the current pricing $400+ seems possible.

12 nm is in principle 16 nm finfet with small improvements , so i would call it old , especially after waiting such long time for new generation , and considering price hike , the same amount of memory , higher tdp . You would call that something new ? 7 nm will be rolling out soon enough . What is the most bothering thing is the price point , actually if the performance gaing is similar to price hike , then basicly after waiting almost 3 years , we pay the same price per frame ? Isnt that sick and greedy as fuck ? How would you describe that ? I would understand small prcie hike , even thought there isnt more memory , or older process, but 72 % price hike fe to fe is riddicolus , if the price increase would be in 50 % range , then it would mean that we would actually have to pay more per frame that almost 3 years ago . How you would call that ? Greedy , crazy expensive ? So if we continue that trend then the next flagship card could cost 2000 $ range ?

It's because both Polaris and Vega have been so successful, Nvidia now has to scrape the bottom of the barrel for leftovers, isn't it?

Yes exactly . That's what happens when there is no real competiton , company can sell products with high margins , and be greedy as much as they want

Yep, a business at the top of their game.

without performance numbers I have no idea what to make of the prices. On the one hand the 1070 ,1080, and 1080 Ti launched at 379$, 549$, and 699$ respectively

On the other hand direct competition has been scarce, vega 64 launched and simply matched the performance of the GTX 1080, which was a year old at the time.

So it's not like they're scared of what AMD will roll out with. As long as they can out compete their 2 year old lineup significantly they can reach those prices.

OF course if they say only come out 30-40% higher, People may choose to sli the 2 year old stuff instead.

Yep, a business at the top of their game.

As much as I like my own cards since my dual 780ti's (then Kingpin 980ti, then 1080ti), this isn't cool. Nvidia's pricing has become a terrible joke. I'm sure people will buy it. But that doesn't excuse it. They've lost income from the drop in mining sales, so is this the response? There comes a point where folk need to question the brand. At £1000/$1000, this is pushing the card so far out of the reach of so many.
If I wasn't bound to a keyboard and mouse from two decades of gaming. I'd buy a console.

If any Nvidia rep is out there: not fucking cool man, not fucking cool :shadedshu:

AMD please have a counter. Nvidia pricing is way out of hand. Should GPU prices really have doubled over 2 generations?

So small conclusion rtx 2070 is 499 $ , gtx 1070 was 379 $ so its basicly 32 % increase in price , if performance gains would be similar , the basically cost per frame would be the same , after almost 3 years of waiting , we would pay the same amount of money , i wouldn't call that progress , or maybe being greedy , especially considering tdp increase , the same amount of memory etc , on the higher end models the price increase is similar , so basically we are screwed as consumers , if the price increase would be similar we would pay the same amount of money per frame . And in case of rtx 2080 ti , the price increase is even more pronouced almost 50 % , so let's assume it's 40 % faster than gtx 1080 ti , then we would be paying even more per frame than in 2016 , to be honest i am dissapointed with that pricing .

Soon pc gaming experience with high end graphics could be very expensive , especially if nvidia continue that price hiking trend .I hope there will be some competition on the market of high end gaming cards, otherwise ,soon flaghsip nvidia cards for gaming could end up in 2000 $ marks , and that's scary as fuck as pc gamer enthusiast .

Here in Finland the prices are very interesting.

RTX 2070 659eur
RTX 2080 869eur
RTX 2080 Ti 1299eur

The prices are nothing but a joke. I remember when I thought that people paying over 500eur from a graphics card was something unbelievable.

Especially when you need a 4k 144hz monitor to take advantage of it and that's not cheap either.

I don't expect any AIB to touch MSRP for the first 6 months.
