NVIDIA GeForce RTX Series Prices Up To 71% Higher Than Previous Gen

So they pulled another GTX 8800 series prices.
I guess some things never change...
Were you seriously expecting anything else? Do you know a case where somebody had a product head and shoulders above competition and then released something even better at reasonable prices?
These things have a huge die, that alone means expensive.
 
Are they making the 10x series more price appealing so they can empty their stock??? Those prices are no joke is just a way to mock of their base buyers(gamers) wtf. Vote with your wallet guys.
 
30-50 FPS @ 1080p with a 1250€ GPU in Shadow of the Tomb Raider doesnt really scream "head and shoulders above competition"...

No, but this:

and this:

do.

So do you have numbers, as in how big is the difference, to account for >50% pricing inflation?
TU102 is 754sq mm (source: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13240/nvidia-gamescom-2018-keynote-live-blog).
GP102 is "merely" 471sq mm.
And the price does not increase linearly (unfortunately for everyone).
 
Roll on cheap 1080 Ti's is all I will be saying.. That is all :)
 
US Inflation to July 2018 since ...

June 2016 (1070 = 5.00%
May 2016 (1080) = 5.00%
March 2017 (1080Ti ) = 3.00%

New tariffs on goods imported from China = 25%

Take the $379 price of the 1070 and add the 25% tariff = $473.75 x 1.05 = $497.44
Compared with the SEP cost of $499, it's an extra $1.56

Take the $599 price of the 1080 and add the 25% tariff = $748.75 x 1.05 = $786.19
Compared with the SEP cost of $699, it's a freakin bargain at $699, $87 cheaper than I'd expect.

Take the $699 price of the 1080 Ti and add the 25% tariff = $899.96 x 1.03 = $926.96
Compared with the SEP cost of $699, it's a leap at $999,but by no means shocking $72 more than we have a right to expect.

However, until we see the performance numbers, in no position to consider how warranted the increases are.


NVIDIA pulling the MSRP vs FE pricing again :shadedshu:, and changing the price scheme, now the x70 is the x80, the x80 is the x80 Ti, and the x80 Ti is the Titan. If I find a 2070 for the MSRP I might buy one, though $500 is still insane for a single piece of hardware intended only for gaming, but never going to pay more.

That started with the 70xx series. When they realized how much faster their cards were than the competition, they lsid the line down and the 780 matched the original leaked specs of the 770 .... the 780 design was placed on a shelf where it sat until th 290x came along.


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

The 2070 is $379 ... Only the "I must be the 1st guy on my block to have the new shiny thing" crowd buys FEs

Time to buy those radeon vega gpus boys. At least Vega pricing is close to MSRP nowadays :p

It's still not enough to entice any significant sales... but don't forget to factor in a) the price of the bigger PSU b) the extra case fan to move the heat out, and and c) the increased power costs over 3 years.

Are you aware that these prices are also before taxes ? So why are adding 25 % tariff ? The same would be for rtx 2070 so it would be 499 $ plus 25 % tariff for example . So your point here is wrong , the rtx 2070 is 32 % more expensive than gtx 1070 before taxes .

.

Except prices are not actually 499, 699 and 999. They will start from 599, 799 and 1199

So your whole math is useless
 
Exactly , even if we would compare rtx 2070 to gtx 1070 sep prices which would be 499 $ , vs 379 $ , the price increase is big , and i doubt rtx 2070 would be near gtx 1080 ti performance level , since rtx is 2304 cores , and clock increase is negligible , it would probably in gtx 1080 level which already is at 449 $ , so after such long wait is in my opinion big dissapointement , but let's wait for reviews , but i doubt it will be even close to gtx 1080 ti in performance .

You still haven't figured out one set of prices is for Founder Edition cards? The fail is strong with you.

Funders or not, that sets the bar for the custom cards.

no, the newegg price of stock Asus 2080 ti is even more than that

those prices maybe valid for bundles only. but no cards are listed for such prices yet. i get the point of the FE now. increase the lowest price. The evil nvidia does nothing for good. all new so called techs, renovations, editions are just excuses for price increases.

Well, no cards are released yet. There's always a surcharge for preorders.

I doubt 1080Ti will be any cheaper for a while seeing as the cheapest a 2080Ti can be is $1k. I have my doubts that a 2304 CUDA core 2070 can beat a 3584 CUDA core 1080Ti in traditional workloads.
 
I'm currently looking about for £500 1080 Ti's.. Mined or not, bit of a bargain :)

He also didn't give people a choice. What's your point?

Yes, these prices are through the roof. At the same time, they are likely justified. Can we all agree on this and close this thread?
Because 5 pages of whining the cards are too expensive... is just a deja-vu of pretty much every other high-end gaming card release.
 
Man, so many Nvidia shills defending stupid pricing.
