No on Earth told the cards are bad, they are just ridiculous in terms of price-performance. You were just fooled by NV. After a 1080Ti, you get a 30% jump for twice the price. Haha.

So, MSRP of 1080 ti is $699, MSRP of 2080 ti is $999, .......$300 is twice the price of $699? Not sure where you went to school. And yes, i know, you'll answer with: You can't find the 1080 ti for $999. Sure, true, that's true...but it has nothing to do with the MSRP which is the prices that nvidia tries to tell 3rd parties to follow, if they don't, that's not nvidias fault, so how does that make someone fooled by nvidia? It's fooled by the 3rd party sellers/manufacturers, not nvidia. Yes yes, before you again reply with a nonsensical notion: Yes, the 2080 ti fe is indeed $1199, but we're not talking about the 2080 ti fe here, but if you want to, then sure? $699x2(for your twice the price...theory? lets call it theory)=$1398...hmm.....so to be twice the price, it'd have to obviously be $699 more then $699, yet, $1199 is $500 more then $699. Still can't find your twice the price statement that is what nvidia is fooling everyone with, as their FE cards are not twice the price, and their MSRP price is not twice the price. So i guess what you meant was: You were just fooled by 3rd party retailers and/or 3rd party manufacturers. Got it, please state what you meant next time.

I look at it this way, if there offering a discount then it means there is still room for them to lose........IM not a sheeple, its great that most everyone see's what is going on here. I got a $400 1080 Vanilla a bout a month ago from the EVGA site, which i found on Flee Bay. Card is great, runs hot even when I ramp up the fan. But its Brand new and covered by evga.

my 1080ti, bought two months after release, is still giving me all the performance i need at this point. i've invested in a 35" g-sync 1440p monitor and knowingly took the price hit for the g-sync module. but as everyone on this forum probably knows, i've called the entire 20xx series a rush job for reasons that are now apparent to everyone. i'm obviously not a Nvidia hater. but there's a greater than 50% chance my next high performance card will be AMD. i'm not talking about vaporware or other forms of false promises. everyone needs to recognize that AMD cards were preferred by miners for a reason...and that reason is compute...which is almost a synonym for Ray Tracing. the Navi cards are targeted at the 2070 range, Vega 20 is a pro-card, so what the hell am i talking about? i'm talking about multi-module (chiplet/SoC) gpus. My 1080ti has at least another strong year (probably several), but at the end of next year we will see a gpu designed like a Ryzen or Threadripper with modules...any level of performance can be easily attained depending on the market needs. and since "Infinity Fabric" has been just as intensely engineered as Threadripper, indeed making it possible in the first place, you can bet your bottom dollar there is no interposer technology anywhere in the world with lower latency.

The design is actually quite nice imho, pictures don't do them justice and I'll take EVGA over a fu*king FE anytime given the ridiculously high failure rate they have at the moment. At the end of the day, I don't much care how they look, I do care that they work 🙂

EVGA's 10 series cards looked so much nicer though. It's definitely a step backwards for them. I hope they get their next ones looking cool again.

I've been railing against the Titan for years - I've always seen it as a massive price hike and refused to buy it on principle (it's the same reason why I'm boycotting the 2080 Ti). It's just that whenever I bring it up people instinctively defend it, saying it's a cheaper prosumer card, that it's a different class of GPU, or that it's worth it for being the best. The success of the Titan is largely what is responsible for the Turing price hike (as far as I'm concerned, the 2080 Ti is the new Titan). I voted with my wallet against the Titan but plenty of other people voted for it, resulting in our current situation. Frankly, I don't care about having the "absolute best" (I used to care during my earlier years, but eventually grew out of it), I care about progress and good value for my money.

that's really interesting as i hadn't made that connection...and i think you may be on to something. i like reliability on high-end investments (gpus lol)... so i usually wait a couple of months looking for RA numbers, verified purchase reviews and dislikes, etc... hell i used the 7970 as a room heater during some remodeling (no joke...world of warcraft lol) but i refused to buy a "ti" until the 1080, as before it was the last squeeze of the grape (generation). also i knew they were up against Moore's Law. i knew that the 1080ti would have legs and that no release of a 2080ti was imminent for two years when i bought it.

Yah, I guess if you care about the aesthetic, I don't personally, my cases are Fractal Design Define R6 Blackout so I only ever see the inside when I am working on them.

I never used to care about the looks so much but since i bought a glass side door for my coolermaster cosmos II case, I began paying a bit more attention to what's on show. I don't over-do it with rainbows and unicorns, i stick to a fixed green theme since i'm using a nvidia GPU's. https://imgur.com/EhP6YfZ https://imgur.com/6sino6R Those pics are a little old coz i'm now using 1x RTX 2080 instead of 2x GTX 1080's. I was going to go RTX 2080 SLI but i think i'll wait until the 7nm GPU refresh, sell the 2080 and get 2 of the newer refresh cards instead. The aim is to build a system that can do 4K @ 144fps with all bells and whistles turned up. 2x RTX 2080Ti's can almost do that but not quite, which is why i'm awaiting the refresh before i jump in and commit.

Fox2232:

At least you know why they are so expensive. High die-off requires premium. But it is very unfortunate that defective GPUs are not identified prior selling to AIBs. Thiis situation increases required cost.

It's priced where its at because nVidia re-worked their product lineup and released the Ti card in place of the usual Titan ($1k price point) at the beginning of the generation, and completely removed Titan from their gaming GPU's. In the past the Ti card came almost a year after the gen launched. For years, many of you b*tched about nVidia doing this going back to the launch of the GTX 680. Three generations later, they finally get rid of releasing a cut-down card as the top as well as a super expensive GTX Titan card, and instead released a full top to bottom product lineup.... and I bet many of you who complained about the cut down cards are doing the same complaining now. I've explained this now multiple times on this forum already which leads me to believe you're being willfully ignorant or intentionally devious. Considering its the same people who thread crap in every single nVidia or Intel related thread, its pretty clear you simply have an agenda. and btw... https://i.imgur.com/PjJYuVZ.jpg

The RTX 2080 Ti is cut down, and so is the RTX 2080. The only card out of the 3 that is actually using a full die is the RTX 2070, which is using a fully enabled TU106. By the way, this is a midrange chip, so charging 500-600 US for it is a rip off. The TU104 in the RTX 2080 is cut down, and so is the TU102 in the RTX 2080 Ti. Nvidia did not do as you said. They are simply ripping people off, and overcharging on all the cards. These 3 cards should be priced more like the following: RTX 2070: 429 US RTX 2080: 599 US RTX 2080 Ti: 799 US There is no agenda happening here with people who are complaining. We all just identify that this launch is full of lies and bullshit, as well as appalling prices.

In three weeks, we'll see how they operate with RTX enabled, don't expect anything, this whole series is bunch of lies and overcharging.

i have an agenda...of backing high technology i believe in with stock purchases. and no, i'm not Ritchie Rich. i have stock in AMD, Nvidia, Intel, TSMC, Qualcomm, and HP. and not enough to live off the dividends either (hopefully one day). calling the shots the way i see them and agreeing with logical critiques is not bashing anyone (except Intel Marketing lol).

Paul's Hardware said it best "No Competition " from AMD That said , the 1080ti is competition for 2080 at the present time , 1080ti got my $ for what it can do now , not promises or opinion not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.[/QUOTE"] lolz at pauls hardware is that the kid with long hair.

Even if it was, slap +30% on top of the whatever price it is in US. Fair Global Market.

Yes at first I thought they did exactly the same, just that their SKUs only differ by a single digit (xx-xx-2281-KR vs xx-xx-2282-KR). Only that 81 costs 300$ more than 82 (82 is the subject of this thread). Honestly, I'm staying away from the RTX cards for the time being, but this whole launch, in hindsight, looks and feels weird and faulty to me. On pretty much every front.

Fully agreed. Its rushed, cost unjustifies the performance gain or addition of key "new" features (which aren't even available yet). The whole thing just feels like a cash grab attempt before AMD/Intel come up with their next solutions. Don't like, won't support.

100% agree. As someone who bought an EVGA RTX 2080 Ti XC at launch for $1150 yeah it was more than I wanted to spend but buying a RTX 2080 would just have been like buying a GTX 1080 Ti. Sure I could have kept my GTX 1080 Ti but when the announcement happened I had already fell for the hype train and sold my GTX 1080 Ti. So $500 more for 25% more than a previous gen GTX 1080 Ti is tough to swallow but I justify it with the fact that this is the only true 4K gaming card that can hit at least 60 FPS on ultra. There is a huge difference between the RTX 2080 Ti and the RTX 2080/GTX 1080 Ti and even when you lower the 2080 and 1080 Ti to high or even medium they still can't hit 60+ FPS at 4K with many games. While not many people have 4K monitors at 60Hz and there are only a handful of 4K 100+ Hz monitors which are crazily priced, many people do played at 1440P and I found even at 3440x1440 with my GTX 2080 Ti there still were games that didn't crack 100 FPS or I had to lower down to high. AMD has not pit out a 4K card and if rumors are true the first iteration of 7NM Radeon will be more of a RTX 2070-2080 competitor. So maybe in 2020 we Radeon and Intel bring out 4K cards and maybe Nvidia refreshes with low priced cards that can do 4K, but like you said there is always something better around the corner and in this case that like 18 months probably away. Can you wait 18 months? Additional I have sold my 2080 Ti XC and got a 2080 Ti XC Ultra on sale from EVGA for $1150 and I will say I saw temps 5 degree less. Now I am building a ITX console killer for 2019 and it will be based around a EVGA RTX 2080 Ti BE

Because it lost in one game? Not sure what your collage of graphs is supposed to show honestly.

Blame your own governments for the huge markups. Whether it be VAT, customs duties, excise duties, import tariffs, those all stem from the destination country and their trade policies. Don't want to pay Tariffs? Elect someone who supports free and fair trade both to and from the US. No more one sided trade deals where EU goods have no tariff while everything the US sends to EU gets 10-30%.
