PNY Finally announces their GeForce RTX 2080 Series Cards
After the pretty bizarre leak last week on their website, PNY probably figured, hmm, let's wait a little. The dust has settled, the announcements have been made ergo PNY now also launch the GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti.
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX delivers the ultimate PC gaming experience. Powered by the new NVIDIA Turing™ GPU architecture and the revolutionary RTX platform, RTX graphics cards bring together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. This is a whole new way to experience games.
PNY will release several models for each of the two cards, a blower style product, one with improved cooling and then the factory tweaked XLR8 models. The 2080 will range from 859 to 869 USD. The 2080 Ti on it's end will cost 1249 running up to 1299.

Nope.... that's because one model's got an rear exhaust cooler, one a dual cooler with lesser stock OC in BIOS, one with a higher stock OC in bios and two fans, and presumably one with three fans and the highest overclock.
That doesn't make it a mistake, just... stupid. I personally, if I had to choose, would of course always take the three fan card with what seems the highest factory OC on it.

Couldn't agree more, but just looking at the 2 OC cards I can't see how the price is the same. The only thing that might effect this approach is the actual size where one or two people might want to squeeze it into some small factor case or something... And people buying these type of cards always want the best they can get.

If NVIDIA's MSRP for 2080ti is 999$ why we haven't seen a single manufacturer to follow through with something close to it like per-say $1050. I mean $1250 for a blower card, well that just blows man.

Probably because all the vendors know they can sell more of the higher end ones if the cheap ones aren't available? Honestly this launch isn't much different than 1080 launch. The MSRP 1080's didn't come out for months after the vendor launch and when they did the coolers on them were horrific in both performance and aesthetics.

Why? Just Why? How is there 4 cards at the prince range of $869 with $10 difference?
One even has an extra fan and LEDs.... That has to be a mistake
