NVIDIA has announced that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 will officially release on October 17th. And while its MSRP is set at $499, the Founders Edition is priced at $599. As such, we can expect every custom-made RTX2070 to be priced at $599 and not at $499 (similarly to what is happening with both the RTX 2080Ti and the RTX 2080).
Beautiful any way you look at it.

Now I have to be honest here; I don’t know whether the availability of the RTX2070 will be better than the one for both the RTX 2080Ti and RTX 2080. While we’ve already pre-oredered our RTX 2080Ti from EVGA, we haven’t heard anything yet about an estimated time of arrival (most likely because we are in Europe and not in North America). According to reports, AIBs may start sending more units early next month.
So yeah, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2070 will officially release on October 17th, we don’t really know whether it will be available to anyone else other than YouTube influencers or reviewers. I mean, this is exactly what is happening with NVIDIA’s latest RTX graphics cards so here is hoping that the green team will address this availability issue sooner than later.
Kudos to Metal Messiah for bringing this to our attention!

Nah, thanks. Nvidia is disappointing with turing. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e313b19b787fbfd80eafdc15bae24aa46b1a4077f963c92ae67f271bf33779e.jpg
canadian dollars after tax looking at 1800 bucks its insane i bought 780ti for 750 thats how much should cost at most even that to high if ask me most these cards should only be 500
anyone here that can smuggle a brown guy to europe so that i can sell one of my kidneys real quick? in my country kidney is cheap and i won’t be able to buy one of these with kidney money.
Might still be short.. especially if ur getting the 2070-80.
Once again, the main concern revolves around the PRICING of these new GPUs, which can be a detrimental factor.
The current Founders Edition RTX 2070 model seems to be roughly around 200 bucks more expensive than the GTX 1070, at the time of launch (if we compare these two cards).
It seems in some countries, except the US, these cards are way much overpriced as well, due to customs, local taxes, VAT etc.
AIB custom Models aren’t going to sell cheaper though, as evident from the recent RTX 2080/2080Ti launch.
Some (if not all ) of the AIB cards are matching the Founders edition pricing as well, even worse in some cases, as reported by many. Also, there is a problem that NVIDIA has created, as they are now competing with their board partners.
IMO, apart from all the above factors, it seems we are basically paying an “early adopter” price for this new Turing tech/hardware, hence the premium.
I know Nvidia has totally changed the GPU arch as well, with the addition of new RT and Tensor Cores, and other design/pipeline improvements (memory/cache) etc.
But to fully take advantage of this hardware, very few games and software are currently out in the market. So basically the hardware won’t get fully utilized (if we think from this perspective).
Also, how well some of the upcoming Games will actually perform on a TURING GPU, with Real time ray tracing and DLSS, still remains to be seen. I think it will take at least another 2-3 years for this whole RTX technology to become mainstream.
As of now, few PC titles are going to take full advantage of this new RTX feature, provided Game developers also adopt and implement ray tracing, and DLSS deep learning AA in games as well.
Still, it’s good to see new Tech being released. With time things might settle down a bit, and the performance gain might be there when DLSS and Ray Tracing features are enabled.
right on the money..
The pricing is just going to get worse… The more Nvidia remains unchallenged the more we as consumers are going to pay more for less performance each year… And waiting for competition is becoming a harder option for many people.
Yeah, and apart from the Monopoly which Nvidia currently enjoys in the high-end GPU market segment, they have totally changed the GPU architecture with the release of Turing as well.
So basically we are paying a premium, or an “early adopter” price for this new Turing tech/hardware.
But Gamers didn’t ask for this, because it was Nvidia’s decision to implement these features in the GPU architecture, as evident from the change in the DIE SIZE, and the Streaming Multiprocessor/SM design, RT and Tensor Cores, among other things.
I still hope AMD brings something new to the table with NAVI, assuming it is made on a 7nm process node, and competes well in the high-end.
Right now, the GPU market is a total mess. We seriously need more competitors, and here’s hoping that INTEL might enter this market come 2020.
But that’s still a far cry. I’m more concerned about next year.
nah to me even if nvidia keep their pascal design there will be always people will going to complain. if nvidia just add more resource to pascal base design (and give us that 60% performance improvement that we hope for 2080ti over 1080ti) then they will said nvidia is milking “paxwell” and did not bring anything innovative (like AMD, even if Vega end up not competing with 1080ti but at least they are trying like HBCC, RPM etc) to the market because they did not have competitor that can push them.
I understand what you are trying to say, but I’m not complaining.
Just stating some of the facts surrounding this whole Turing GPU release, based on the Gaming community’s feedback to some extent.
Its pretty much the same with smart phones. Expect a 2000 smartphone eventually too. Just like we will get a 2000$ 3080ti. If not the 30, it will be the 4080. I seriously expect it.
The whole pricing is just a joke. You are paying for hopes of a Tech dealing with RT takes off. You are not paying for performance gains at all. If anything you are paying around 70% more for a avg of maybe 30% more in performance.
I mean I get it. Maxwell – Pascal was 28nm vs 16nm and Pascal – Turning is 16nm vs 12nm aka 16nm+.
But the prices of these cards is not doing anybody with a brain a favor. I mean sure we have people that love new tech and want the new tech and they will pay the price. But at the same time the more people pay these prices the more they will just go up.
I really want AMD to come back hard. Just like I hope Intel actually brings competition to both Nvidia and AMD. Yet at the same time I have that gut feeling that it is not impossible… Just highly Improbable.
lol you want AMD to make a comeback? that “joke” pricing is one of AMD gateway for that very comeback you spoke of. if nvidia end up pricing 2080ti at $700 and 2080 at $500 then AMD will stop selling gaming GPU to consumer altogether.
By the way, some details on the specs of this GPU I compiled. *slight off-topic*
The RTX 2070 is using a TU106 GPU (which is a full silicon though). It features 2304 CUDA cores and 8GB GDDR6 memory, and a 6 Gigaray RTX engine.
This particular GPU is also equipped with 36 RT Cores and 288 Tensor Cores.
Memory seems to be 8GB GDDR6 which is clocked at 14 Gbps, which might translate to 448 GB/s over a 256-bit bus width.
As per speculation, the boost clock should be around 1710 MHz, but AIB clock speeds may vary. TDP seems to be 185W (for the Founders edition), and 175W (for the Reference).
I think this card will only require a single 8-pin PCI-e connector, which seems modest, but the main concern is the pricing of these new GPU models.

I still think Nvidia saw the prices retailers set during the mining craze and noticed people will pay regardless of the reason.
Here it comes! A SWING! and a MISS! OOoooo and that does it folks! Strike 3! F*k this Sh*t , Im going home. (dumps beer)
So sad to see double the price yet worst performance increase compared to Pascal Vs Maxwell, back then a 1070 was better than a 980 ti (more Vram, less power draw). also priced well, the 1070 was the best bang for your buck.
Now the 2080 costs more than a 1080 ti, less vram about the same power consumption, and for what, some Ray tracing you won’t see running properly on anything else than a 2080 ti and some anti aliasing feature DLSS. Turing a joke
Isn’t it WAY overdue to update that nVIDIA header picture?
overpriced they need to lower there prices its assinine
