That would take 2080ti-level performance for $600, so probably won’t happen this generation at all.
Maybe if Navi surprises us and targets the high-end, but the only Navi announced has RTX2070-ish performance and no raytracing, which while its usefulness is debatable, I’d rather have it than not. We should know more about Navi in a couple hours at 6PM ET.
I have a 1070 and I can’t imagine I’m going to be happy playing Cyberpunk at 1440 in a year without a video card upgrade. I hope there’s something that makes sense by then.
Oh I expect there’ll be a ton of change in a year, now that AMD is actually starting to compete. Remember Nvidia can go to 7nm too, and reap the same benefits on power consumption and clockspeeds that AMD did with Navi-- except Nvidia is starting at a much better spot.
Likewise, except I’m a generation behind you at a 970. It’s been good enough so far (I mostly play Path of Exile, where it’s totally fine), but Cyberpunk is almost certainly going to push me over the edge to a new build.
The problem is Cyberpunk comes out in April. I can’t imagine we’ll see anything better than the S models by then, so might as well jump in. That’s my reasoning anyway.
At those prices I don’t see a reason to get this over a 2070 level card especially if the price or performance changes with the rumored new versions coming from Nvidia.
Another unverified and could be completely bogus Nvidia RTX 20 “super” leak. Says June 21.
2080ti Super = brand new chip, much faster than a 2080ti
2080 Super = binned 2080ti, some cores disabled, 3072 cores
2070ti Super = brand new chip (not launching June)
2070 Super = binned 2080
2060 Super = binned 2070
I’m going to make a meme so that I can just repost it as necessary every time this comes up.
The Super line has been pretty broadly leaked now, so while some of the specifics are likely wrong, I do expect the line to essentially move up one performance tier at the same prices.
Right, that’s what WCCF does. They take the prevailing expected thing, fake a bunch of shit to support it, and post it as a leak. So when everyone is wrong, they are wrong. They add nothing of value, only fake shit to post and get them clicks.
So pretty much the price:performance upgrade we should have received last year. :)
Well, Nvidia raised prices too. But the performance tiers will be where they should have been, yes.
So for anyone wanting to upgrade in the next year the smart money is probably on an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU?
Oh most definitely. I wouldn’t buy an intel CPU for the various speculative execution bugs alone, as they still aren’t fixed in hardware. AMD CPUs are far better values.
On the GPU side, it depends on how the competition shapes up between Navi and RTX 20-Super. It might be that AMD ends up cheaper at the 2070-ish performance level, which would make sense at that particular niche only.
I haven’t seen any speculation about the expected price reductions for the non-super models yet. That could make things interesting as well.
Am I the only one that thinks adding the word SUPER to these cards sounds dumb?
$100 drops was the speculation I saw…
Although I guess the emergence of crossgen titles will be the real thing that makes an upgrade worth looking at. Maybe Cyberpunk.
My guess is the non-super cards will very quickly leave the market.

For sure. Nvidia doesn’t want 10+ SKUs on shelves. Way too confusing.
