NVIDIA: GeForce RTX 2070 Available October 17th
Two GeForce RTX cards have been released, yet three where announced. The cheaper RTX, or less expensive model 2070 still is awaiting an actual launch. Some expected later this month, but NVIDIA finally shared the word about it.
The GeForce RTX 2070 will be available starting October 17th. The founders edition GeForce RTX 2070 will still sell for $599, which is over two hundred bucks more expensive as the GeForce GTX 1070. AIB partners will be allowed to sell the product starting at 499 USD, however as the recent 2080 and 2080 Ti launches have shown, that is not really something that seems possible as all AIB cards match Founder edition pricing (or worse). The RTX 2070 will be based on its own TU106 chip and gets 2304 shader processors, 288 Tensor cores and 36 RT processors, all tied towards 8GB GDDR6 at 14 Gbps / 256-bit.
| GeForce RTX 2080 Ti | GeForce RTX 2080 | GeForce RTX 2070 | |
| Shader cores | 4352 | 2944 | 2304 |
| Clock speed (MHz) | 1350 | 1515 | 1410 |
| Boost speed (MHz) | 1545 1635 (FE) |
1515 1800 (FE) |
1620 1700 (FE) |
| Vram | 11GB gddr6 | 8GB gddr6 | 8GB gddr6 |
| Memory speed | 14Gbit / s | 14Gbit / s | 14Gbit / s |
| Memory bus | 352bit | 256bit | 256bit |
| Memory bandwidth | 616GB / s | 448GB / s | 448GB / s |
| TDP(Watt) | 250 260 (FE) |
215 225 (FE) |
175 185 (FE) |
| Price | 1259 euros (FE) | 849 euros (FE) | 639 euros (FE) |
We're very curious how the product will perform, it will have Tensor and RT cores. It is indicated that cards like the 2050 and 2060 will launch H1 next year, likely without Tensor and RT cores. Who knows, perhaps they'll be called GTX.

The way Nvidia has been downgrading the 70 series is criminal to say the least. The 970 was an amazing card with great performance with a very decent price, so good that made the 980 almost unnecessary. To "correct" this issue, the 1070 was more expensive and the delta between the 80 series widened to make sure it didn´t steal sales from the 1080. Now the 2070 is using an weaker chip than the 2080 and it´s even more expensive than before! I understand that Nvidia wants to push their clients towards more expensive cards but no this way...

Whats really funny is how people have such a short memory.
Historically you considered a generation jump of one level. ie. a 70 replaced the previous 80, and so on. And before Pascal that was quite consistent as well. Only Pascal made a bigger leap. And now thats considered the "standard" citing past precedent, while in fact the one case where this was true was the outlier.
What's even more funny is how no one is saying anything how the RTX2070 should have been the RTX2060 , the lack of NVllink finger , the fact that RTX2080 is same speed as the gtx1080TI (the new X70 card's used to be same speed as the ex TI) , the GTX1080 was a lot faster then the 980TI.

I just checked, surely it doesn't only have 5GB of VRAM (enough for 1080p) but what were they thinking!?
Now I'm leaning towards the GTX 1080. Funny how ones opinion can change in the blink of an eye.
Just be aware that the GTX 2060 will be using the TU116. You are better off just buying a GTX 1080.

This is what happens when there is no competition in graphics (or anything). Prices rise because there is no alternative at current performance/price ratio.
Either AMD needs to do a rework of their GPU architecture like they did for their CPU architecture (big credit to Jim Keller), or we have to wait until we see if Intel's entrance into high-end graphics will create a second competitor.
Still waiting for 4k 120hz displays and HDMI 2.1 AV receivers to start selling (and graphics cards that come with the connection).

I might pick it up if they adjust the price a bit (which is highly unlikely) but probably will end up getting a GTX 2060 in the end.
