Not any time soon, and not at anything like those prices. Why not? Because I'm content with the size of my ....... erm ..... current card's performance, and don't need this to wave about.

There are 2 brands that will never see any of my hard earned money, Nvidia and Apple.
So i guess thats a no.
No. Since the 2o7o, 2o8o, 2o8oti are just updated version of the 10 series probably not. I am still waiting to see if AMD can pull a rabbit out of it's magical hat. My buying decisions includes: Best performance for the lowest price. I can say I would think pretty hard on buying an AMD card. The last one I had was a 585o 2GB. The card was great even though the drivers were horrible. I have not kept up to date on AMD video drivers and hope things have improved. When it comes time to buy AMD or Nvidia, price and driver bug fixing, performance and game support will be the main decisions. As things stand now and unless prices come down from nvidia, I would not buy even a glorified 1o7o/1o8o refresh.

hmmm.... Nvidia have lots of old cards to sell. What to do?
ok, we release the new card early that doesn't do anything more than the old cards (still have no raytracing or DLSS games to benchmark) at inflated price.
Everyone then goes and buys our now previous gen cards (it would be dead stock at like-for-like price). We make massive profit if someone does by an RTX. Then we can then roll around in our even bigger piles of money until AMD get their arse in gear.
At those prices? Not a chance. For the price of a 2080 I can get a 4k console, decent sized 4k TV and a quality sound bar system and have money left over. Sorry Nvidia, you are having a laugh!
just bought a RX580. so nope.
Still with a GTX770 here. Obviously the high ends cards are going to be silly expensive. I'll be more interested when the mid-range Turing cards are launched (I'm guessing under the RTX or GTX2060 name).
I treated myself to an EVGA GTX1080ti last August for £630. The highest I'd ever paid for a GPU prior to that was £340 for a GTX1070, and £250 for a GTX970 before that. I felt I was getting a decent bump in performance, each time I upgraded. The cost of upgrade is too steep and the boost in performance too lacklustre this time. I'll wait for the next generation. Besides my i5-4670K could do with replacing first.
used to upgrade my card quite regularly to
a mid range when they hit the £200 mark (i am an occasional gamer, can afford better but won't spend more).As it didn't happen this time, I just went for a console + used 1060 (£110) and do feel like it was my last gpu desktop update as the ps4 gaming is much better than I thought . Nvidia can get stuffed.
Not a chance. I still have my 290X and it plays all my games at 1440p. Nvidia rip of prices because they have no competition atm. Also from what I read the 2080ti isnt the full fat chip so they have a full fat titan to release for some astounding price for the people who have more tmoney than sense (which isnt me).

Absolutely not. Cashing in my current cards for what I can get for them to fund a 1080ti Seahawk.
The price vs performance is not enough to justify the spend, and speculating on performance in unproven ray tracing games which dont yet exist is just plain madness.
"if you book them they will come" comes to mind.... Except in the case of Waynes World 2, I'd have gone.
AMD - we REALLY need you to start focussing on this area of the market NOW. Bring out much faster cards, invest in multiple GPU... whatever. just do something because right now NVidia are taking the market for everything they can squeeze out of it and it's not going to be for the good of the market.
Yup, 2080ti.
Crosshair VIII Hero (WIFI), 3900x, 32GB DDR4, Many SSDs, EVGA FTW3 3090, Ethoo 719
No Raytracing is not proven to give good enough performance.
Since my 4k monitor is freesync I want a card that can guarantee 4k performance or competition from AMD or Intel.
I recently ran the Forza Horizon 4 demo at different settings. If I set the cap to 60fps the I can always hit that with a GTX1060. If I turn the settings to Ultra I can hit 30fps.
Lots of other games like Two Point Hospital, Warframe, Guild Wars 2 I don't even need anything more.
Oh and even though I could afford a RTX 2080 I wouldn't buy one at the prices they are charging. The lowest price card on Scan is £760 at the moment!
Hehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....mmm sorry heheh wait...mmmmmmmmshhhHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. No seriously HAHAHAHAHAHA
Now I am one that upgrades very regularly on the GPU front and then pass down old parts to my wife for her gaming rig. But as it stands now "No Way". I could handle a small bump in price but moving the whole product stack up one pricing tier was insane for the performance being offered, especially in older titles. Maybe next gen mmmmmk!
If I was looking to buy anything top end, these look nice

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Waiting for a sane price on the 2070
