@Hilbert Hagedoorn Small typo in the news title 🙂

Not a Typo, @Hilbert Hagedoorn is l33t now. 😎

He always was, I just didn't realize because I'm a b00n.

yup, as I said. this is why AMD is dropping their Polaris prices.
pretty sad.

Feel free to buy AMD stocks to feel happier.
I am glad we finally getting good prices on video cards. Feels like good old Northern Islands days.

So are the 2000s going to grind all through 2019 and at best we get a 1680 Ti or what ever it will be called with out RTX and be the same perf as the 2080 Ti but for a lower price?
Probably no 3000s or 7nm 2000s this year hey.
Since PCIe 4.0 drops this year I sort of thought Nvidia would want to pump out a card to run on that tech but I guess they will just do a pass for now. I really wonder if Navi will force anything out Nvidia this year and if Nvidia has anything planed just in case.

It's still hard to say what Nvidia is up to at this point.
We know they're using the cut and partially defunctional chips in the cards they release now, but I doubt we will see any "2080TI without RT" since those cut down chips probably make it to the 2070 / 2060 respectively.
With PCIe 4.0, I guess they will offer something for that tech, but they might merely hold onto their cards until AMD releases their next Navi top dog, seeing how it goes (and how it's priced), and then they'll release their "answer". But that's just speculation at this point.
HardwareCaps
Dropping your prices means you have no real answer to the competition.
but I guess that's nothing new from the Radeon team at AMD.

In the old days there was a new release about once a year. But since stuff was a bit slower recently, with Pascal, there was a bigger gap. So maybe we can see 7nm Turing or whatever new architecture for the holiday season (ie. christmas), or maybe we won't.
PCIe 4.0 is really in no hurry, since PCIe bandwidth is not a limiting factor for current graphics cards. They'll probably support it on the next generation, or maybe the one after, but I doubt they would use it as a reason to rush something out.

Meanwhile still waiting for 2080ti to be available (Switzerland) LUL

Sad thing is that nvidia didnt have answer to polaris before march 2019.

All these new releases translate to me that the 2000 series aint selling as well as expected.I m sure many ppl holded back cause of the absurd pricing and the fact that there is not much to do with Ray tracing at this point.Only good thing is that there will be more price cuts on AMD.

Can you stop with saying the same thing in almost every topic? We get it, you aren't happy with AMD.

Great to hear about this cards , competition is a great thing for all consumers , bring it on i say ...

It´s going to be interesting if the GTX cards sell like crazy and the RTX cards continue to sell poorly...

I'm not against or in favor of one company or another. who ever innovates and is competitive gets praise and who ever makes promises and hype but fails get criticized.
this is how the tech community should act.
I'm a huge supporter of Ryzen as it is competitive and innovative. I wish I could say the same for RTG.... let me show you what false promises are:

you talk shit, you get shit right back at you.
Pascal was the most successful launch we saw in the last few years. actually Pascal was so successful it's the majority of the market today.

Dropping price in situation like this means something else. You have stock which has to be sold even while competition brings new products.
Keeping prices would result in unsold inventory and write-down.
And Pascal like GTX 1060 which is the Polaris 10/20 price range was not successful because it was better. It was successful because people believed it was better. Mindset is not something you can combat with better product or better product sold at lower price...
You can realize it just by looking at guy you meet every day in mirror.
HardwareCaps
not sure about that. the 1060 was faster back in 2016. luckily we can head back and see Hilbert's awesome review:
https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_1060_review,13.html
remember 2016, DX12 & Vulkan were still very new
and in 2016 Nvidia had some other advantages over AMD, specifically Shadowplay. Streamers/Gamers loved having a recording/streaming support on their GPU.
Relive came much later.

It's not talking crap, it's as simple as this. Every topic you have been a part of regarding either GPU manufacturer, it's the same thing. Again we get it, you aren't happy. Uping your post count to say the same thing does nothing except draw attention to yourself.
Undying
Maybe he should buy a gpu in the first place then talk about one. Those 1660's look good, maybe he'll get one and finally stop talking trash.
