NVIDIA TITAN RTX Benchmarks
At 2500 bucks the NVIDIA TITAN RTX is expensive and targeted at the professional market. People, however, will always run games on them. A PC enthusiast named ‘Death’, shared photos of his TITAN RTX on twitter, including benchmarks.
The card belongs to “jbn1010” from South Korea, was liquid cooled and then overclocked. The card was overclocked to 2070 MHz (GPU) and 2025 MHz (memory) and that achieved 31,862 points in Fire Strike benchmark (overall score) with a nice 41,109 points in graphics test.
The card holds 576 tensor cores and 72 raytracing cores, slightly more than the RTX 2080 Ti with it's 544 and 68 values respectively. With 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, the TU102 GPU should have plenty of it. The flagship card has 4608 shader processors and is aimed at AI researchers and data scientists, rather than gamers; Nvidia claims the card "transforms the PC into a supercomputer" allowing faster training and inference of neural networks and enables researchers to experiment with larger neural networks and data sets.
Turing-based TITAN is currently available for 2,499 USD. Added, also JayzTwoCents released a video with TITAN RTX review benchmark results, see below.

Nvidia gave them all the chances in the world:
1) by astronomical pricing of Turing
2) by not jumping at 7nm therefore giving AMD a fighting chance
Sounds like you're diverging from the ideal of free market by wanting to regulate it
The "astronomical" prices of Turing are because they don't have any competition and have more flexibility in pricing their latest products.
They obviously have to price it comparatively to the competition's performance so its not going to be as "astronomical" as it could be.
It really isn't astronomical and unless we hear otherwise, AMD's own failings for not putting enough R&D into matching what Nvidia can put out are to blame.
We could talk about how lobbying and dark money is more of a problem, but there's nothing here that smells like that (yet).

In case you didn't notice, AMD was bleeding cash for years; it's only recently that they became profitable again. When you're heavily in debt and hemorrhaging cash then it's hard to invest heavily into R&D (and with the amount of money that Nvidia makes there is no way that AMD can come even close to matching). Frankly, it was a miracle that Zen turned out as good as it did - expecting them to work two miracles is asking a bit too much.
Also, even if AMD produced a capable GPU that can match Nvidia's best, I doubt it will succeed. This is because we gamers overwhelmingly buy Nvidia GPUs, no matter what. In all likelihood, they would spend a fortune on R&D and never see a return on investment. Even in the mid-range, where a RX 570 or 580 and FreeSync monitor would be the best combination, gamers overwhelmingly buy a GTX 1060 or 1050 Ti (with no adaptive sync at all). It's popular to blame AMD for not being able to compete but we shoulder some of the blame as well - if we want AMD to succeed then we have to be willing to pay for it.
The only way that AMD could gain momentum is if they produced vastly superior GPUs for a couple of generations. That seems highly unlikely though (for said R&D reasons). The only hope I have is that the funds from Zen can help with their GPUs and eventually turn things around. For now, all we can do is deal with Nvidia's price gouging and try not to let them get away with it (which is why I still haven't bought a 2080 Ti yet).

Yeah, I just had no idea what the Austrians have to do with it, and since I guess I'm the only one around having it in his sig, you were somehow referring to me, my bad then sorry

Don't you know? Being a PC enthusiast is relatively cheap! Some rich people spend tens of thousands of dollars a year on their hobbies so a $2400 GPU is actually very cheap by comparison. All you need to do is get a job that pays six figures or otherwise get rich - that's all it takes
/s
Frankly, the success of microtransactions showed that there are plenty of whales out there who are willing to spend truckloads of money in order to be the best. These are the same people that Nvidia is targeting with these GPUs. This also applies to the 2080 Ti to some extent, as a $1200 price tag for a gaming GPU is ridiculous, no matter how you slice it (after all, this was previous Titan territory). Some people just need to inflate their e-peen no matter what. I have to admit that I'm partially guilty of this - I remember secretly scoffing at my friend who bought an FX processor and AMD GPU while I had a Core i7 and an Nvidia GPU (with a custom loop no less). Looking back, he probably spent his money far more wisely than I did (he's frugal with money and rarely takes risks while I tend to spend recklessly and take enormous risks :p).
