Very impressive, it's on-pair and beats Vega 64 in a couple of games. This is the kind of mid-range graphics card I would like to buy if Navi turns out to be another disappointment,

but paying that 459€ premium (more like 499€ in my country with vat and "chemical" taxes for electronics) does make it less tasty; not to mention RTX artificially increasing the price.
I rather pay extra 200€ and get a 2080rtx then, saw a few for 650€ in German shops.

I would go with 2070 probably. Im seeing msi 2070 armor for 525€. More vram, more rt cores and overall faster card. Cooler looks crappy tho

I think the armor is the old twin frozer 3 cooler. It only has three heat pipes. Though the 2070 doesn’t really get that hot.

Honestly IF I were getting and RTX only 2080 or 2080ti would I be looking at AIB. The 2060 and 2070 both I would just get straight from NV in FE trim.

Hilbert, you misidentified the 2060 Strix in some of the charts as 2080ti Strix (unigine and some of the futuremark charts).

Ah, I fixed the labels. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Asus always had higher prices but this generation they gone overboard. Asus RTX lineup is a good 100-150€ more expensive than competition, and Strix 2080Ti is like 250€ higher than other brands. Asus thinks they are Apple of graphics cards, this arrogance will come back to bite them in the ass. o_O
