So apparently EVGA is releasing a really cheap build of the 2070 at the actual MSRP. This puts it at the same price or even cheaper than the 1080 at the same performance or slightly higher depending on title and resolution.
Guru 3d has reviewed 2 cards (MSI and Asus) both have the $499 msrpNot likely for a long time. What's your interpretation of "initial rush"? 2080's have been for sale since day 1 and still easily available but the prices haven't changed at all. They want to sell their Pascals for full price still as well. The 2070 is cheaper so will sell more? Probably a bit yes but the value is still very questionable for RTX, especially as we drop below 2080 since there's zero quantifiable data on the performance of the RTX components. Again it's just gambling that the RTX tax will be of benefit at all beyond some DLSS with questionable quality and zero current implementations.
The 2070 just reinforces the fact that consumers should either wait for some titles to be available to actually test these features, or go to the used market to get a Pascal that will either be much cheaper (1080 for $300+) or faster and still cheaper (1080ti), depending on their current hardware (I bought a 1080 Xtreme for $350 after RTX launch, upgrading from my 970). Consumers targeting the 2070 are obviously not willing to pay $800+ for a GPU and thus are currently likely on a 1060 or 980 or lower. Anyone with a 1070 or higher wouldn't be considering a 2070, especially with no RTX feature data.

Yeah I already posted above.Guru 3d has reviewed 2 cards (MSI and Asus) both have the $499 msrp
Depends on demand really. Online stores like Newegg and Amazon usually adjust prices automatically based on demand anyway. I wonder if they'll pull an AMD and have a set quantity of cards at MSRP for launch then once they're sold the price goes up.How likely are they to actually sell at MSRP?
The reality is these $499 2070s will hardly be available in any kind of decent quantities and technically they might as well not exist because no one will be able to buy them for a few months. This is just for show to make the reviews look better. $499 2070 is a paper product unless proven otherwise.Yeah I already posted above.

The tinfoil hat in me wonders if Nvidia pushed for a couple of really cheap versions from AIBs to appease the MSRP since it was bullshit for 2080/ti launch even though it basically makes the 1080 useless and the AIBs are still left with a lot of them.
Why so? If I were looking at building a system and was planning on getting a 1080, wouldn't it make more sense to get a 2070 instead if they're the same price?At this rate the 1080 stock will be cleared quite quickly
I was operating under the belief that they'd sell for 100 USD less but I am apparently wrongWhy so? If I were looking at building a system and was planning on getting a 1080, wouldn't it make more sense to get a 2070 instead if they're the same price?

I feel nvidia will wait for clearance and just instantly make the 2070 a value proposition with a major cut, or at least I am hoping
What an absolute pile of horse crap this 2070 is, lol. $5-600? Get the hell out of here with this garbage. What a complete joke of not only a GPU release with the 2070, but the entire "RTX family" is so insulting it's just hilarious. Pathetic. The industry has gone straight to hell because the whole thing is in the hands of one company. This hobby has gone full dumpster fire bad.
Seriously, when I think of the RTX cards, here is how I feel. This is the emotional response I get:
You reach into a hot trash can in the middle of a hot summer day. You feel something wet, squishy and slimy. The smell is making your stomach lurch up and down as you try to prevent loosing your lunch. You pull it out and hold it right up in the air to get a good look at it. As it drips on your face and runs between the cracks of your teeth, you realize it says "RTX 2070" on the side of it.
So yeah, it feels like that.
You're pretty good at that, but I don't actually believe your rants any more.What an absolute pile of horse crap this 2070 is, lol. $5-600? Get the hell out of here with this garbage.

We'll it's generating the scenes at a lower resolution so yeah it's bound to be faster.Looks pretty good, if you believe the numbers
