They are about 50 dollars off MSRP if you look at newegg

Instead of laughing go produce your own gpu hehe!

MSRP is $700 for the 2080 and $1000 for the 2080 Ti.

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

I hear ya fella, that's why I'm using a second hand GTX 980 TI, you are preaching to the converted. We would all love the cards to be cheaper, but if the market laps them up then they aren't priced too high unfortunately.

I'm certainly interested to see how the 2070 pans out though, as like a lot of others it is the most realistic choice for me.

They are either going to push gamers down a tier or away, and if this continues they'll become like Apple with high prices and a small, but lucrative fan base.

What does "SEP price" mean?

 

[GhostRyder]

Well, this is what happens when people get all attached to one Brand. Now we have a monopoly for probably at least another generation or two so these prices will be the norm. Waiting on reviews, but will probably buy a 2080ti.

Gotta admit though, that dual fan cooler is pretty sleek in my book!

Can’t find a single card btw at $999...

Also anyone seen a white card?

Buyer's remorse in 3.2.1....

Pre ordering without any knowledge of performance. I'm amazed by some people. And not in a good way

Agreed.

All i saw were claims of performance for future games that can take advantage of it but what about all other games? I saw no mention of any performance numbers over current cards in games already launched.

It's premature to go ahead and make purchases based on this information alone: wait for benches when those become available, and then decide to go ahead with purchasing or not.

Sure: it looks quite impressive and for the games that support it, i'm sure RTX line of cards will have a lot more performance then current top 1080Ti but, as DX12 and Vulkan have taught us, just because a newer technology promises more performance in future games, doesn't mean that technology will take off right away, and i expect several years before this technology is in full use.

That said, the future for AMD's graphics division looks grim ... unless they come up with some kind of Ryzen-esque graphics architecture, in terms of IPC uplift.

EVGA has a 2080 for 750 on Newegg. 50 dollars over MSRP

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said, I thought you meant it was $50 below MSRP.

That's got to be the lowest preorder markup I have seen in a while
Hopefully now that mining has moved past GPUs, we'll start seeing prices below MSRP again. Otherwise these things are pretty pricey.

 

[ensabrenoir]

.....yeah yeah yeah....PRICES HORRIBLE...(shifting funds form college accounts canceling wife credit cards and yeah dental insurance is overrated -ordering 2 lol)

 

[Ravenmaster]

Dick move nvidia. Price gouging on their own website 1 hour after the presentation...

 

[Prima.Vera]

Two words I have to say to the shitty d*$k head Huang Jensen: F$#K YOU!! you greedy bastard!
And for the people pre-ordering the 2080Ti like it's a PC game or something...yeah, I guess a sucker is born every minute and because of those people, those callous companies are exploiting us in such a way! /rant

Time to keep my GTX1060 i5 8400 rig for e-sports titles, indies, retro gaming and RTS.

AAA from now on will be on a console, PS4 Pro or Xbox One X (or maybe PS5 or Xbox 2). PC high-end market going Apple style. No thanks, I´m not willing to pay this type of money for that.

Congratulations Nvidia for making Pc high-end market a luxury and niche thing.

It's one of the reasons why I can't, in good conscience, buy a nVidia card. I already have an issue with drivers in the Linux eco-system and their blatantly anti open-source approach but, the price is unrealistic for the typical consumer aside from the moral implications of their Linux drivers. I'm willing to overlook the driver issue if the price was right and it clearly isn't.

Edit: It almost makes me want to buy a Vega 64 as an act of defiance.

I agree, who preorders a video card lol. I mean we have no idea how good its going to be and for all we know it will only be a small bit better than the previous gen for a huge price. We should be waiting for reviews first.

Well it's not like these people woke up some day and decided to get attached to nvidia. Nvidia produced the better product for several years, and this is where it has gotten them + fanboyism.

 

[dir_d]

I have the 2080 on pre-order until i can find some performance metrics. If it is not good i will cancel the pre-order and go for a 1080TI.

I was mostly referencing before for instance the Fury series got released. There was a time where things shifted around and things were good. I think after seeing it first hand many things influenced one side to stay dominant even when it should have shifted and this is the result. Does it bother me? Yes because its boring to have no options except what color cooler I want but as far as I am concerned I will keep purchasing Nvidia until AMD has something worth while on the high end then I will look again. I am not saying AMD is not to blame for this (Because obviously they made stupid decisions multiple times throughout the years and are probably mostly responsible for their own failures) but a certain chunk of the community helped (like the people who like every comment that in the slightest disagrees with me lol).

I just will wait for reviews on the 2080ti and for when the price goes back to around MSRP (Plus a white card comes out).

Well, Vega was a pretty big misstep...Probably the biggest in some time. Besides i know how you feel, having no choice is pretty bad, hopefully AMD will do something at some point...

Nvidia stock at $25 = $330 GTX 970 midrange

Nvidia stock at $250 = $600 RTX 2070 "midrange"

 

[Xzibit]

What does "SEP price" mean?

Suggested Entry Price

I think the goal was to have FEs at a higher price. AIB/OEM reference (blower style) card at the SEP and aftermarket AIB cards above FE prices.

Like 10 series with a higher starting price.

 

[btarunr]

Added a table with some interesting perspective. Sorry for the ugliness.

 

[GoldenX]

We need competition now. This is the same Core iX/FX shit, but on GPUs.
