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.

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.

Hahaha i know right but i actually know the guy pretty well and he has no dog in the race. Plus i also know for a fact that 2070 with RTX on will get you 30fps so GL selling those for RTX games.
Nvidia are calling this release as Graphics Reinvented and i'm calling BS on that and saying no not reinvented just something extra added like when we got Phsyx added to gfx cards.

I like nothing about the current state of RX cards, I was merely commenting "on hurry up and buy" thing

I'm all about the real time ray tracing they're implementing into todays' tech both hardware and software alike.
It's always hard to bite down on something that is truly groundbreaking and or revolutionary in its earliest state. I guess if AMD follows suit then it'll be a dead giveaway that this is something that is going to stick around.
I have always wished that the "tech" just wasn't proprietary to one side of the market so that everyone can benefit from advancements made from both sides. As opposed to trying to hinder performance as a whole on the other sides hardware.
I do not believe this is something along the lines of PhysX at all in the fact that this is something truly tangible in comparison. Opposed to just offloading computations from one place to another this is as BA as SSR was when it was implemented years ago.

as if any seller ever told you to wait and not to rush to give them money.
