NVIDIA on the Cause of RTX 2080 Series Card Failures

I don't know, I'm enjoying mine. Pretty sure everyone else here that has a 20 series card is.

I agree. I also don't buy the argument of "wait until 7nm is ready."

Why? So you can forego the Turing performance you get in regular games now just to wait another 8 months or more to pay the same $1200+ price? So you can bank on ray tracing being better in summer 2019 at the expense of enjoying current games NOW?

People don't wanna upgrade to Turing I get it. But the same people are being delusional thinking 7nm GPU's from Nvidia is going to be cheaper than they are now with no competition on the high end. Prices are not going to get back cheaper until 2020 when both AMD and Intel have something to compete with Nvidia. That's a long time to stick with a 1080ti which is already lacking behind in alot of new games now, especially at 4k.

Meanwhile, 2080Ti owners are getting the performance they paid for, even if at a price, and I don't think anyone here bought a 2080Ti specifically for ray tracing. There's not even a guarantee the next gen will have much better ray tracing perormance than what we have now, we're probably 2-3 generations from having full on 4k RTX performance. That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop upgrading just to wait for the tech performance to catch up, the 2080Ti is still a very powerful card for regular games and so will the next gen for regular games.

Agreed but I still hated the price and I paid less than most.

after the miners had jacked the price of the 1080 ti up to 1500 bucks and people were still buying them like candy
is it any wonder that after NVidia saw all that cash going to resellers that they would not want it

the miners like to say it wasn't them but it was .
both last gen and this one and why I hope bitcoin drops to 6 for a penny



……….
the 3080 ti will be the same price as the 2080 ti unless AMD has something as fast .

and I don't think we will see a 3080 ti for at least a year and nothing from AMD till 3rd quarter 2020


……….

and mine only cost two sore shoulders and arms :p

but it still took both hands to push that final mouse click to buy :lol:

Let the crash and burn continue, would be nice if it was the price of the cards that were causing it. But I know that's just wishful thinking!:nag:

No plz

I mined for half a year to offset the cost of a new gpu.

Y u forsake me Nascar !_!
