We all know that early adopters get screwed over 90% of the time, that's not down to a reviewers opinion or recommendation of a product, it's just the current competition between AMD and Nvidia that forces these newer models to be released. AMD has a big portion of blame here on the GPU side because they failed to produce an enthusiast or even high-end cards to compete with RTX.
So btw i believe RTX was a semi disaster for Nvidia, releasing RT tech maybe 2 years before it's fully utilized and having to find new ways to shift their products while people have eyes and can see the lack of RT progress. I fear by the time RT is fully implemented into most games the tech will have moved on. Which of course sucks for all 20XX owners. From what i've read around the net there's still only a hand full of RT enabled games and even then hardly used by some RTX owners because of issues or low frame rates.
If only we could see into the future of PC tech then purchasing the right equipment @ the right time would be easy. Unfortunately that's not possible so people are going to get butt hurt.

So something I noticed that is a bit odd to me:
It only has an 8-pin and 6-pin power connector. According to the power consumption graphs, this thing is up there with the Vega 56, 780Ti, and 390X, each of which need 2x 8-pins. The 2080SF reference likely was never intended to be overclocked, but still a bit odd to me. Of course, its wattage is actually low enough to get by on what it is provided with (75W from mobo + 150W from 8-pin + 75W from 6-pin = 300W, which is sufficient headroom) but different workloads draw different amounts of power. I'm sure if you were to overclock this thing, run something like FurMark, and then somehow manage to trigger the RT cores, you'd definitely exceed the power limits.
Of course, the power limits are just simply a guideline, but, this is a reference card. I think it'd have been wise for Nvidia to expand this GPU's tolerances, and not leave room for potential worst-case scenarios.

Reference 780ti only had a 6+8 config.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn hey boss, I noticed some odd data on the charts. The 2080ti numbers seem low when compared to the 2080S. The I looked back at all the old reviews of the 2080ti and noticed they were performed on an older test bench (the x99 with a 5960x at 4.2Ghz) the newest reviews are using the 9900k@default. You have a note about transitioning to the new system but are any of the benches using both systems? If so do you plan on running at least a FE 2080ti full suite again. I just don't see the 2080S being only 10% slower at QHD and the 2070S being ~17% slower as reality.
