Yeah, unfortunately they’re taking the opportunity to follow nVidia up the price scale and launching what would have been a $300 card at $449.
I wonder how loud the blower coolers on AMDs new 7nm mainstream cards will be (and how they’ll do on ultra-wide monitors). Looking forward to those embargoes coming off.
Well, they’re undercutting Nvidia by $50 which isn’t nothing but yes of course it’s still insanely overpriced versus what it should cost for that performance tier in 2019. Hopefully the RTX “super” series pushes that down a bit further.
A rumoured set of SUPER specs I stole from techreport.
Pretty much as rumored. The 2080 isn’t a big upgrade, the others are pretty sizable.

Yep. Gonna sit here with my 1080 Ti which remains good for another year.
All this chatter before the announcement and nothing now? Weird forum.
In the US we’re still in our jammies.
From what I can see here, a 2070 SUPER is now equivalent to a 1080ti, not considering the RTX stuff… For $500.
Guess I am gonna hold out for Nvidia 7nm RTX 3000 series in 2020.
Looks like 35-45% faster than my 1070ti. Is that worth $500 (minus whatever I can get for this 1070ti)?
Everything was extensively leaked, and all the leaks were accurate, so there’s not much more to say!
And yes, the 2070S is a 1080ti plus raytracing. Just as the 2080 was also a 1080ti plus raytracing.
I wouldn’t upgrade from a 1070ti to a 2070S, no. That’s only a 30% or so performance gain. You’re in the same boat as me, where only the 2080ti is a meaningful upgrade.
Expensive. I always have bad timing it seems, as I chose to skip the 10-series and now have to pay much more. Oh well.
Nice, with that Battlefield V benchmark at least, it looks like the RTX 2060 Super is the one to get, since 2070 Super doesn’t add much of anything to the performance in those two particular benchmarks they did at least.

I think the timing is pretty decent now. A 2070S would be a really nice bump from a 9XX card and isn’t completely unreasonable in price. Or is that outside the price range of what you usually budget for a GPU?
For me, I’m in @stusser’s boat where the 2080Ti is the only thing that’s a noticeable bump for me and there’s no way in hell I’m paying that kind of money for a GPU. I’m going to have to wait for the RTX 3000 series and hope that AMD can at least put a little pressure on them.
There’s no guarantee the next generation will be much better, is there? Although it could be.
In retrospect, Nvidia’s move towards ray tracing makes sense now, despite the relatively poor performance in the first round of cards. Now that we know Playstation and Xbox were working with AMD to include ray tracing on the next generation of consoles, it’s a feature that will get widespread adoption.

So is a 980ti->2070 Super worth it for 1440p?
YEP… Probably a 50% improvement looking at specs here:

I used a RTX2080 which is 4% give or take faster than a RTX2070 Super.
Typing Super seems really dumb.
