And mine was 1030 Euro, in a country where the average wage is 400 euro. Fantastic isn't it?

Here is 500 so not much better, i don't understand how they are so much more expensive, some products are even made in EU and they still charge extra. I know i paid over 1000 because i ordered a case along it, but im sure it was around 900, 1000 is way too much and the GTX1080 isn't even that good, damn AMD should step up already, like this NVIDIA just gets away with crazy prices. EDIT: I see Palit pics just in too. Can't wait to see Zotac, these always have the best OC on them, i never had one but the clocks are almost 100MHz more (GTX1080 Ti for example) than ASUS overclocked ones and is also cheaper 😱

I have a MSI 1080Ti Duke and my box is a little different from the one being leaked. It has no dragon because i think the dragon is exclusive to their gaming series and on the left side my box shows the name of the card on small letters and some specs below, the leak here only shows the name. The front of the boxes are also different. It seems someone grabbed a picture of a MSI gaming card and then photoshopped it to look like a Duke version.... Or maybe MSI changed the style of the Duke version.

I don't see any point upgrading my GPU when we are stuck with old SDR monitors. Not interested in 27" 4K, so I have to wait for the 35" ultrawide HDR. I'm not buying a new GPU to make SDR games run faster. Seems like obsolete tech to me without HDR. Ray Tracing + HDR is the only way forward. SDR is a waste. Also, if the 2080Ti drops this soon, don't buy it unless you need it. This will be like the GTX 480 getting obsoleted by the GTX 580 refresh. This time its a new node though. If they drop the 2080Ti this soon, that means they are getting ready to hit you with some buyers remorse very quickly after that. Also, TitanV buyers got screwed so hard its insane. No RT cores? Dammmmn.

After analyzing the box pictures i found them to be 100% photo-shopped. They are just rendered but still interesting. The Jaggies on the RTX signs give it away.

Some kid in his mommy's basement is having fun making these. Bad journalism from all the outlets that present them as "leaks". Kinda disappointed that Hilbert went along with it instead of clearly marking the "leak" as -Rumor-

No i think they are real from MSI but they are not pictures they are renders of what they will be producing. Could be wrong about them being done by MSI or an artist for MSI but i believe these are for future MSI products.

In the world of fake news, even Guru3d put clickbait articles -_- If someone sees the images, they are completely fake. There is completely different resolution on the RTX and the bottom writing compared to the rest of the image. Anyone who has spend 1 hour in Paint.Net transforming images can see the difference.

Not convinced. At all. All the letters on all the pics are roughly same jagged/aliased. "GEFORCE RTX" on the first pic might look worse, but keep in mind that that is white on black background, so of course that artifacts would be more pronounced than white on green, or white on gray.

Images look to not be photos and created in software, not the best sign of legitimacy. Really hope the 2080ti is released along with the normal 2080 (or instead of)! That would be unreal and a REALLY welcome change.

Thanks for your kind words, it's always a pleasure to read that. Of course, I deem any leaked artwork questionable. However, before posting them I do look at subtle details. The logos okay ... a bit weird right? Most coolers, however, are new, it seems very far-fetched to design them, and shop them in. Also, it became apparent from the leaked PCB photos that the new products would skip DVI this year, have you checked all renders? None of the boards show DVI. If the artwork was purposely faked, surely somewhere one would slip in with either an old cooler and/or one with DVI. Also, the sheer number/amount of models/brands seem to indicate this all to be correct. In the long run, the 'rumored artwork' looks to be credible enough in terms of validity. We'll have to wait and see, that's the best I can make of it.

Sukovsky:

That’s bad ass. Thought I’d have to go the 2080 route again but would be great if I could upgrade right away to the Ti

Again? So you come from the future and already bought a 2080 and now travelled back? Cool story. Are you John Titor? 😀

What about msi Lightning?

I have a feeling the performance increase of these will be way less than 780-980 / 780Ti-980Ti, 980-1080 / 980Ti-1080Ti, similar to what 580-680 was a good while ago. Price will likely not reflect that though. 🙄 However, as a long time MSI Lightining & Gaming line customer, I must say that this cooler design looks very, very off to me, coupled with that metallic backplate, ugh, just ugh. The TwinFrozr VI from the last generation was perfect, great cooling performance, silent, solid 2 fans design with no sag (only "fault" was lack of RGB and the red parts that some people disliked). This one will be one saggy GPU (same with all the other 3 fan 2080/2080Tis that "leaked"). May this and the info that even founders edition cards will have 2 fans also be an indication that the cards will run hotter?
