Updated: Launch Month - NVIDIA Super is a GeForce RTX 2060 ($249), 2070 ($399), 2080 ($599)
On the web there is active discussion on what that 'Super' video was all about. A logical deduction can be applied here. GeForce RTX 2070, 2080 (Ti) are not doing so well due to pricing. The RTX 2060 has an alternative in GTX 1650 and 1660. So what remains?, yeah at least a refresh for 2070 and 2080 with AMD NAVI in sight.
A new a rumor surrounding the NVIDIA Super Teaser Trailer that appeared a few days ago surfaced, the rumor suggests that NVIDIA will release new (refreshed) RTX 2060, 2070 and 2080 graphics cards, and that they will cost $249, $399 and $599 respectively. Before we continue, it's all speculation up-to this okay?
Update 21.06.2019: Web chatter now is that the possible launch schedule of the super Geforce will be in mid-July, slightly after AMD's new hardware Ryzen 3000 and Radeon RX 5700 launch. it is inclear if all products would launch at the same date, or would be spread out over July.
Word right now is that NVIDIA will be releasing alternatives for the RTX 2060, RTX 2070 and RTX 2080. The cards would get faster GDDR6 memory, but also higher clock rates due to binning the GPUs. Naturally, when things get a notch faster you expect them to be priced higher, now another rumor contradicts that claim as Nvidia would be planning to undercut the price by $100. If you tally things up then in chronological order the MSRP would be $249, $399 and $599 respectively.
A $399 price would at the very least bring the 2070 SUPER in the NAVI playing field pricing and likely performance wise. The timing of all this is just silly though, in the middle of the summer vacation time. It is now suggested that NVIDIA will present the new Super products (super charged) at E3 2019, trying to steal some thunder from AMD, who is expected to make announcements regarding Navi at E3.
Yeah, what will these cards be called .. like GeForce RTX 2070 / 2080 SUPER edition? Also, if correct, questions do arise as what will happen with the pricing structure of the currently RTX line, or will they simple slowly be replaced?
Updated: French website Vonguru claimes to have learned of two new "Super GeForce": one faster than the RTX 2070, the other faster than the RTX 2080th Both are in the report as "Turing Refresh" with higher GPU clock and faster GDDR6 memory with 16 Gbps instead of 14 Gbps. The rumors about an updated 2060 remain vague but is suggested being a 2176 shader products
Rumored specs of the three updated cards:
RTX 2080 Super | RTX 2080 | RTX 2070 Super | RTX 2070 | RTX 2060 Super | RTX 2060 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GPU | TU104-450 | TU104-400 | TU104-410 | TU106-400 | TU106-410 | TU106-200 |
Shaders | 3072 | 2944 | 2560 | 2304 | 2176 | 1920 |
Mem | 8 GB of GDDR6 16 Gbps |
8 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps |
8 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps |
8 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps |
8 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps |
6 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps |
Specifications totally unconfirmed for the Super products |
in a Chinese forum there is mention of a new RTX 2080 with the full shader cluster of the TU104 GPU with 3.072 shader units available as possibility. That would be the same as the professional model Quadro RTX 5000, slightly faster GDDR6 memory is in the range of the possible. The RTX 2070 Super is expected to switch from the TU106 to a variant of the larger TU104 chip and thus offer more shader units with unchanged memory. This is the performance of the RTX 2070 Super of the previous RTX 2080 come close, which in turn will be lowered in price.
We expect official announcements at August 21, Gamescom 2019, not E3.
Update: it seems the naming now kinda has been confirmed by many and that it indeed is an upshift of refreshed products, much like shown above. Specs etc have not leaked jut yet. But the name is RTX 2080 Super and so onwards

Why all the politics talk here? No. No. Just no.

Whenever AMD releases a new series, you always want to wait a year for drivers to mature.
Whenever Nvidia releases a new series, you always want to wait a year because they'll release a refresh of the same thing with better-binned chips for the same price (and if they're not the same price, the obsoleted parts will get cheaper).

What else? Those who don't know better will be the candidates. Like what happened with the GT 1030 with DD3 Memory.

HDMI 2.1 is already here on 2019 LG oled TVs which mean they now have some kind of freesync variant, black frame insertion etc...making them a potentially excellent oled gaming "monitor" (13ms input lag which apparently is great for a tv)
I won't buy a card before they have it, several RTX buyers are furious about it already.
AMD cards incl RX 570 and 470 (and above) can easily handle LG and Samsung TV's...the only difference between Freesync and Freesync 2 is 10 bit video (i.e. HDR) and the cards do both.
i've already tried the Radeon VII with LG OLED and it works well.
beware of burn-in tho'
Nvidia is expert at cock-blocking AMD. it's not that difficult and they really get off on it.
which is childish, but it is the personality of Jen that carries through the company.
no company is better at uArch for gpu's - period.
Navi is an excellent "clean sheet" design, which AMD absolutely needed to pursue and it will do wonders for the bottom line. i absolutely believe in AMD under Lisa Su, but that does not make AMD a better gpu.
Navi is the (almost) clean break from the past that AMD has needed for over a decade. the performance of Navi is outstanding and will do better than Nvidia at the price point.
the real challenge for gpu dominance will come from Arcturus which will have the full implementation of the "chiplet" design. and whatever Nvidia or Intel has or does at that point will be irrelevant because at that point any target (incl. fps and power) can be dealt with by spec (i.e. number of "chiplets" on gpu).
not to mention 7nm++
