The current pricing already released for the RTX 2080 Ti starts at $1150. The RTX 2070 is $600. The 2080 starts at $750. You can get a GTX 1080 Ti for $630 here https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...35&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=36

From the looks of it, it sounds like he wants to get the best of the best which is why i said he should wait and see...

Apparently the RTX 2070 will outperform GTX 1080 TI, is that correct? We need to see. The 1080 is more expensive at the moment than the 2070 will be apparently.

Again, we dont know for sure. all these calculations you see people and reviewers making on the internet are basically estimates. Wait for them to get the cards and start testing.

I mean this is like making calculations on a box fighters physique. Just because one might have bigger numbers than the other does not always mean there is a huge advantage.

After doing some research, I found that 1070Ti is the best bang for the buck. 1080 is just 10% better than 1070Ti, but the price is quite different. Also, the 1080Ti compared with the 1070Ti, the 1080Ti is almost twice as expensive, providing 30% increased in performance. Which in my opinion makes the 1070Ti the best value, what do you guys think? I will still wait until the new cards come out though.

1080ti (supposed) performance for $130+ less than a 1080ti... i can see why people are upset.

Huh? The 1080 Ti is available for within $30 of the RTX 2070 price already released. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...7702X1552850X70120c26d05c777e470147f119254ad1 I'll bet a beer that when the RTX 2070s hit the shelves (provided the hype is true) that 1080 Tis will be at bargain basement prices, especially if the rumors of Nvidia forcing leftover Pascal chips on the AIBs is true. I'd buy a $300 1080 Ti or two in a heartbeat while they sort out ray tracing.

Your link shows $629 is the cheapest 1080Ti on newegg. A 2070's MSRP is $500($600 for FE). That is $130.

Since you moved the goal posts (talking once prices settle after launch now)... I would bet the 1080Ti comes down to ~$500 though making it an interesting choice for perspective buyers. At the same price, similar performance (supposedly) and 75W less power profile...what would you choose? 1080Ti's won't see $300 for quite some time. But yeah, $300 vs $500.... I would go 1080Ti too, but by that point, the 30 Series will be out and that 2070 will be cheaper too. In the shorter term after release, users will be hard pressed to find them at $500. Once that dust settles (after the Holiday Season?), the 1080Ti's will assuredly still be $450-500.

Anyway, I digress as its starting to swirl down the bowl of OT.


EDIT: Though if there is any merit to NVIDIA forcing card partners to buy their last stock to get allocated Turing, then perhaps there could be a massive fire sale... only time will tell.

Ahh, I must have remembered the FE price, not considering the difference between that and the AIB cards. My fail on that. I'm still surprised at the $100 premium for the FE. Good catch, thanks.
