    Dropping SLI from the 1060 was one thing, removing multi GPU support from this is unforgivable. The XX70 series is now mid range apparently guys! I really hope AMD use this as an opportunity to undercut them, might be the first time I have used an ATI/AMD GPU in many many years if they do.

    Crazy.

    You can pick up a brand new 1080 TI for pretty much this sort of money. And the RTX 2070 must be going to underperform the 1080 TI by some margin (consider it's pretty much on par with a RTX 2080 in current games).

    Nvidia must think we are mad!?
    Live long and prosper.

    I get the impression the 2070 is really the 2060, the 2080 is really the 2080Ti, the 2080Ti the Titan. Well, from the pricing definitely. Otherwise I fail to see the reasoning for removing SLI from the 2070, the 2060 perhaps (because it was cheaper to buy two cards for less price and similar performance as the higher end cards, in games that were supported by drivers).

    Still, this pricing fiasco is a really naff move by Nvidia, I'd rather give AMD my money and have less performance if this is the way they treat consumers.

    Oh joy, another over-priced card with unexciting performance gains! This whole 20xx series launch has just turned into one long disappointment. I usually look forwards to new releases, but this time it has been rubbish.

    The whole business is becoming a fiasco. Save a packet. Go back to 760 x 1080. Play Cs Go, Half Life 1. Far Cry 2 3 and 4. Company of Heroes. Have some fun. Tech has plateaued. The exciting times were the 2000's post voodoo 2.
