So, basically a 1070Ti with RTX stapled on. If true, that would make the 2070 basically redundant, so I would not be surprised if the pricing was closer to $400.

I would still wait and see if the 1160 rumours turn out to be true, since this card minus RTX at about $250 would be a killer proposition, and would squish the rumoured Navi specs. (Wouldn't be the first time Nvidia span out a variant to piss on AMD's graphics card parades, with the aforementioned 1070Ti launched to spoil Vega's launch)

Word is that according to a Eurasian Commission submission, gigabyte has 40 different SKUs due to all the different variants, six in all I believe. That's not gonna be confusing at all...

This is lazy and seems obvious, but its early....


This is clearly a step down from the 2070 right? Thats the one I have my eye on. They are running in the ~550 range from what I saw, but Im just making sure. Plus Im planning around 1440p gaming so I shouldnt really be looking at this, but the 2070 and 2080 right?

DLSS at 1080p? Woof.

Is that starting from a 720p base image?
Should be nice card especially for content creators.
RTX apparently beings nice boost when used. (Normalmap, AO baking etc.)


Yup, this should be the case.

Would love to see the better quality dlss sometime.

Good use of math, I couldn't figure out 1440p:4K as ???:1080p (genuinely helpful)

Hell I want to see what 1080p reconstructed from 720p looks like. I want to see how DLSS scales with less info. (I want to see how it scales at much lower resolutions too)

I guess I should be mad about myself for buying an RTX 2070, but it's the only card I can use that can fit in my hardware without taking stuffs off. I really hate my computer store markets for not selling Nvidia OEM graphics cards.

It will be interesting to see for sure, also to see perf comparisons vs just running something at 900p. Kind of like 1800p vs the 1440/4K DLSS comparison from that DF video.

Nice price for what appears to be decent performance. This might be what I drop into my low-mid-spec desktop next year -- just aiming for locked 60fps performance in PC versions of fighting games at 1080-1440p and the ability to play Final Fantasy XIV once its new expac drops, and maybe some decent high-framerate (120fps?) performance in Overwatch and Rainbow Six at 1080/1440p. This looks like it'll do the trick.

Well this explains why they didn't announce it earlier. This would have nullified all of the 1070's still in the supply channels. 1060 and 1070 prices are going to drop like a rock.

Well the one thing those cards will have over the 2060 is that they have 8GB of RAM, the 2060 is supposed to have at most 6GB.

So yeah going by the old to new performance level shift this is basically a 1070ti with rtx. Not a bad price at all

Yeah this is getting silly, 3/4/6GB variants all with either GDDR5 or 6

Would this be a decent card to get for 1440p gaming? Was planning to buy a 1070 Ti but seems like this is about the same performance-wise if not a bit better.

With DLSS on the way, it sounds like 4k might be quite doable on a 2060.

I wonder what the 6GB GDDR6 model will cost, because it would suck if that 3GB GDDR5 model is the $350 base price. I think I'll just wait to see what Navi offers, but this is an attractive card for the price.

Ray tracing looks a bit inconsistent right now, so I'll skip this wave I think... I'm using a gtx 1070 right now @ 1080p 144hz, so I'm fine as for now.

Man Nvidia really got everyone trained if they saying 350 for the base 2060 is a good value.

I'm only waiting for that, I don't care about RTX or DLSS so a 1070Ti a a price it should be now (so less than 300- euros) is all I need to finally make the jump.

At this point isn't 3gb a serious liability? If it costs $350 in the year 2019 is that not crazy? I don't follow this market closely so maybe I'm missing something. Is raytracing that valuable?

Was surfing used 1070/1070 Ti/1080 prices for perspective for a future multi card rendering+gaming build idea yesterday. 1070 ti's can now be had for what this 2060 costs, while 1070's are as low as $225. Whew.

Looking forward to the BFV DLSS + RTX video from DF!

Just placed an order on a 1070 ti for 350 € thinking i should cancel and wait for some pricing changes to happen.
Really hope 2060 6gb wont be going for anymore than 399

it's pretty much a 1070ti with RTX @1080p. And probably a 'compromised' RTX experience. but the price is decent. although in yurop it will be more expensive for sure.

Interesting RTX performance, as it's a whole lot higher than my 2080 at 1440p (which averages on everything ultra to 30-60 fps, with 45 avg). Would love to see which settings they actually used for those BF5 fps and more importantly which map.
