I wonder at what pricepoint the RTX 2060 will land. I guess the reason behind the increased prices for 2070/2080/2080TI is the additional RTX technology. Looking at the real-world results it seems like it will require multiple generations before an end user will see real difference. As if users are supporting the developement of a future technology. Let's just hope it will pay out sooner than later and we will see considerably better graphics on reasonably priced hardware, as currently the RTX lineup is massively overpriced for a demo feature.

This smells of desperate measures / damage limitation. RTX is being moved further away from mainstream.
The expected/minimal performance increase from a 1080ti has already been met with a 2080ti (non RTX increase).
If a 1180ti was to offer close to the same performance increase as a 2080ti but at any significant price below a 2080ti, then all those who justified their 2080ti with performance increase as the primary reason (majority??) are going to be a bit p'd off. In throwing in a hard divide between RTX and GTX I'd suggest NVidia are about to shoot themselves in the foot again. Despite apparent recent optimisations, we all know/can see that developers still have to compromise significantly in implementing RTX features (particularly RT) - this applies for the 2080ti also.
It's certainly going to be an interesting time ahead.

It is interesting if they will continue with this naming scheme even on the next generation of cards? Apparently given the RTX performance of the 2080, there will be a long wait until we have an all RTX capable line up.

I just hope AMD 3x series will be good enough to consider.

Let’s see how the prices go..Nvidia is charging for low end what they charged for high end a few years back 🙁

They are realizing they should have pulled this whole RTX ray tracing move off on a die shrink to 7nm. Nvidia has made a cluster F of this entire release. Hopefully they move to 7nm soon so they can get the chip sizes and costs back down to something reasonable.

just a note on the realities of consumer electronics:
Nvidia can sell twice as many rtx 2070's and not make half as much as AMD with a RX590.
that is a fact. AMD has a 40% profit margin across the board. and the RX 590 is (from a business perspective) pure cash as the costs involved have been steadily reduced and with a process of 12nm, even more efficient and profitable.
furthermore, and not as a fanboy, Nvidia has been hamstrung by short term thinking and by second-guessing themselves with Pascal.
the literal shiploads of 10xx cards coming back into the supply chain in the summer spooked the stockmarket and collapsed the profit margin of their most profitable cards.
Turing is not, and will not be as profitable as Pascal until the die-shrink refresh this time next year.

Should I bye or should I WAIT? I can get a really good price for my Water cooled Asus 1080ti Strix OC! HELP!

Does this mean there will be an 11 series for the 2080 ti. Id be interested in that...

^ I'd also like to know this. If a 1180ti came out, performed exactly the same in 4k and vr as the 2080ti minus the ray tracing ability, at a lower price point, that would really suck. I would have waited.
...Actually I probably wouldn't. I was tired of waiting to get my games in 4k.

please note: 11xx series is cut down Turing w/o RT
you will have the 1160 and 1150 (as of now)

To sell any 1160s (6gb), they better make sure all the 1070 stocks are depleted. Would make little sense to buy one if cheaper 1070 8gb cards are around.
