Nvidia RTX SUPER series to launch in mid July.

It seems the RTX family didn't have the success Nvidia was hoping for. I don't think this one will find it's audience either. All my friends and myself for example are still staying on 1070-1080ti range.

They need to cut their losses and move on to 3xxx series as soon as possible. And this time have some actually substantial performance improvements, instead af a gimmick to sell their product.

Videocards: "our sources state cards won't be released AT LEAST until mid July"
GAF Title: "to launch in mid July."

Yay.

Other than that, +10% on CUDA cores to 2070 and 2060 with GDDR6 RAM.
Oh, guess what the price of those things will be.

Hardly a threat to make 5700/5700XT irrelevant, both will be beating or on par with 2060/2070 respectively.

Will be keeping an eye on this and prices heading into the fall and Black Friday/Cyber monday. I'll likely start using my gaming PC more due to the expansion of Gamepass and my 970 is a bit long in the tooth. Fine for remaining current gen games in 1080p (no plans to go 4K anytime soon), but probably not once next gen stuff starts hitting.

Leaning toward a deal on a 2070 or super 2070 this fall, but may wait and see what deals are next year after the next gen consoles hit and there are more games I'll need the power for 60FPS/1080p/ultra while being at least ready for 4k/30fps when I do get a new tv.

I wonder if we’ll see a 3080 by Cyberpunk launch. Both Nvidia and Amd have to know that game will sell hardware more than anything else coming out in the next few years, it’s a golden opportunity, esspecially for Nvidia thanks to CDR implementing RTX features.

I can see it now, the only way to play Cyberpunk with raytracing at 4K, Hdr and 60fps+, the Nvidia RTX3080ti super edition, $1999.99 (with free bonus Nvidia T-Shirt and bumper sticker)

Lol so much for Navi.

This all over again:

AMD is selling 500mm^2 Vega56 with 8Gb of HBM2 AIB cards at under 300 Euros.
Do you think they'll have trouble dropping 250mm^2 8Gb GDDR6 cards for less than 400/500 Euro?

Those should have been mid range cards in 200-350 Euro area to begin with, but nvidia has trained the market to pay more for GPUs.

Anyway... what I mean is that while AMD has made some improvements to their tech, it's still largely behind nVidia. Nvidia GPUs will continue ahead in pretty much everything.
You'd need to elaborate in what practical aspect, bar perf/watt, they are largely ahead.
 
Navi is DOA if these launch at the same time, which appears to be the intent.

For people who are still chilling on Pascal like I am with my 1080 Ti, they don't exactly inspire me to upgrade over the non-Super Turings. I'm still waiting for Ampere in 2020, unless a miracle happens and I can actually run DOOM Eternal with RT and have 4K/60 on a 2080 Ti Super. If not, hopefully I'll be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 with RT on my RTX 3080 Ti next year.

These new cards will be better than the ones we have now, sure, but they still won't be worth it.
Basically if I'm not getting at least 50% performance increase over the 3 year old GTX 1080 for around $499 then it's trash.

Like you said... more performance for much less power consumption... and they're not even at 7nm yet... that shows just how inefficient AMD's offering is unfortunately. They have a pretty good node advantage yet the best they get is similar (usually worse) performance for a worse power usage. Also no hardware-based Ray Tracing.

NAVI coming next month will get close to NVidia's what... 1/2 year old cards? That's not good.

How much more power did Fury X, that beat 980Ti at 4k back then and is beating it at 4k and 1440p now, consume?

How much more power do you expect 5700 to consume over 2060super and 5700XT over 2700super?

2060 Super is clearly the winner here assuming $349 as you'd basically get ~95% of the 2070 performance. 5700 would be DOA.
2070 was only 15% faster than 2060 from the beginning. Was 2070 at $499 DOA too, or did green sticker protect it somehow?

You seem pretty butthurt over graphic cards. I've always said that 2070 is way too expensive compared to the 2060 and that the 2080 was a bad replacement for the 1080 Ti.
