At super price of $430 MSRP........ 🙄
Better be beating the 5700XT otherwise is a big joke...... Oh wait 😀

Thats why I think its a mistake to release a 2060 Super. Imo would be much more sensible to continue with the regular 2070 marked down to $430. Nearly same specs, but with much more market appeal.

There's some wisdom in creating a whole new line, for both Nvidia itself and the board partners. Lots of people like to look at new models, not just old ones. Nvidia is getting ready to rock the boat with its future 7nm GPUs, but it needs something in the meantime. In the recent years, Nvidia has, in my opinion, delivered new GPUs much more consistently than AMD. These Supers aren't mere rebrands like AMD's Polaris 500 series, so they aren't meaningless.

wasn't the super series going to be like 100 cheaper?
all I see is bigger prices.

It was only in the first line of rumours. But think about that, it just doesn't makes any sense: think of a $250 RTX 2060 which is between a 1070 Ti and a 1080. And you have a $280 1660Ti with 1070 performance. So you would need to cut its price by $100 too. Then the 1660's, then the 1650's. The unchanged price of the 2070 Super and 2080 Super compared to the increased price of the 2060 (which has +2GB VRAM , but anyway...) shows that the normal 2070 and 2080 are going to be removed from the product line.
This also means, if the performance is there, that AMD again shows a better value card for mid (RX5700) and mid-high (RX5700 XT) range against NV.

These seem like they will be cannibalizing their own cards as much as competing with AMD.
They should have also changed the name, maybe 2160, 2170, 2180??

This "Super" edition should come out at the same price of the "old" series, so they in turn would lower prices. That would be a competitive and consumer friendly strategy.
But no, Ngreedia has other plans...specially after the prices announced for Navi, they don't need to be cheaper...

I could have swore the 400$ super was supposed to be the 2070 super if they think adoption is slow now of these cards well this wont change anything might even make it worse. These make the 1000 series feel like the best ever value now ( excluding mining bs)

Idea is not "discount". Idea is to sell differently binned GPUs while filling price and performance holes in current lineup.
At least that's how it looks. There surely is some audience. Someone for whom 2060 is not strong enough, but 2070 is too expensive.
alanm
The thing going against it is that it is a xx60 card, which is most associated with mid to lower mid-range cards. A xx60 for $430 doesnt sound as good value as a 2070 might for that price. I presume cost is about same given the closeness in specs, therefore I look at this as just shabby marketing by Nvidia.

It's pretty clear that given the existence of the GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti, Nvidia aren't positioning the RTX range as mid-tier at all. Not even the RTX 2060. We might be used to the xx60 naming suggesting this, but the makeup of Nvidia's range is very different this time around.
The bizarre thing is the sheer amount of RTX cards we're going to end up with. While Nvidia will be discontinuing the 2070 and 2080, they will not be discontinuing the 2060 or 2080 Ti. As a result, the range will consist of (lowest to highest) the 2060, 2060 Super, 2070 Super, 2080 Super, 2080 Ti and Titan RTX. Six cards is overkill given that these are all positioned as mid-high to high end cards.

Hmm seems Nvidia forgot to put the entire "new" name on the gpu's. It should read 'Super Sandbagger".

RTX is barely usable on the highest end card. This entire lineup makes no sense to me. Seems to be a lot of folks willing to make excuses for Nvidia. All I see is them pushing people away from building PCs and just buying a console instead.
Astyanax
seems to be only ignoramus's whining about new tech being slow in its initial "demonstrative" design.
0blivious
If this is simply a demonstrative tech, why did they name the entire lineup "RTX"? What is ignorant about this take, exactly?
Backstabak
Seems like decidedly meh release especially concidering price, same as the entire 2000 lineup. I hope that 7nm will shake things up, but at this point I kinda doubt that prices will get to normal at all.
Astyanax
Prices are fine.
0blivious
nvidia stockholder? Otherwise I don't know what any of your posts in this thread are trying to get at. ..."memelords" , "ignoramus's"... It's all been very insightful thoughts.
Astyanax
the tech community used to actually have intelligent discussion, not whining about prices or stupid nick names for companies who's nearest competition equally only care about your money.
new tech is always for the sake of new tech, even if its slower than old tech.
get with it, get used to it, or take up knitting or something, knitting never changes.
