NVIDIA Announces the GeForce RTX Super Family
NVIDIA today supercharged its lineup of gaming GPUs by introducing GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER -- delivering best-in-class gaming performance and real time ray tracing for today's and next-generation games. The result of nearly a year of architectural and process optimizations, the new GeForce RTX SUPER GPUs deliver the fastest gaming performance, and the best power efficiency of any gaming GPU in their class. They also offer gamers an uncompromised combination of leading performance and cutting-edge features.
"The ecosystem driving real-time ray tracing is immense -- tens of millions of GPUs, industry standard APIs, leading game engines and an all-star roster of game franchises," said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the PC business at NVIDIA. "This killer lineup of SUPER GPUs delivers even more performance for demanding PC gamers and ensures that they're prepared for the coming wave of real-time ray tracing blockbusters."

Ray tracing is the advanced graphics technique used to give movies their ultra-realistic visual effects. Only GeForce RTX GPUs use a hybrid architecture of advanced shading, programmable ray tracing and compute cores to deliver ray traced games in real time. Ray tracing is supported in industry standard APIs, including Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) and Vulkan, as well as in the game engines used by developers to create games, including Unreal Engine, Unity, Frostbite, id Tech, Northlight, 4A Engine and more.
Last month's Computex and E3 trade events marked a milestone for real-time ray tracing, as a growing number of developers announced that they will be using it to create stunning visuals in their upcoming games. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Control, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal, Sword and Fairy 7, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood joined the list of major titles that will be using ray tracing. Battlefield V, Metro Exodus Quake II RTX, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Stay in the Light (early access) are already shipping with ray tracing support.
The new SUPER series of RTX GPUs join the existing GeForce RTX 2060 (starting at $349, the first step up to RTX performance) and the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (starting at $999, the best gaming GPU on the planet).
GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU - Starting at $399, Available July 9
NAS also supports Variable Rate Shading, including motion and content adaptive shading for the highest performance and image quality, as well as Foveated Rendering, which puts the detail where the gamer is looking when used in combination with eye-tracking, to deliver next-generation VR experiences.
All NVIDIA GPUs come with GeForce Experience , an application that makes PC gaming more accessible and provides unique, easy-to-use in-game features. GeForce Experience includes NVIDIA Highlights, which automatically captures the best gaming moments; NVIDIA Ansel, which lets gamers take stunning in-game screenshots; and NVIDIA Freestyle, which lets gamers customize their games' appearance with more than 15 post-processing filters and 38 different configurations including settings for image sharpening, color blindness and photo-realism. Gamers can even use the special night mode, which reduces the amount of blue light emitted, so they can get to sleep easier after a night of gaming.
Super Fast. Supernatural Bundle.
For a limited time, starting on July 9, qualifying purchases of a GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, or GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER- based graphics card or desktop PC will include a copy of two award-winning games that support real-time ray tracing, Control and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. a value of $90.
Where to Buy
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, RTX 2070 SUPER and RTX 2080 SUPER GPUs will be available as custom boards, including stock-clocked and factory-overclocked models, from top add-in card providers such as ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac and as Founders Editions from www.nvidia.com. Look for the GeForce RTX SUPER GPUs in gaming systems built by Acer, Alienware, Dell, HP and Lenovo, as well as by leading system builders worldwide.

$499 was for the so-called "entry-level 2070" cards.
Im not understanding what there is to complain about...nir does that owner up there. He gets how it works. It takes energy to be mad at something like this. Not worth it.. even 50%. :p
And you cannot judge the cost of the silicon by simply comparing die sizes, since they are from different process (12nm vs 7nm)
And definitely, a newer process is costlier to make to make, especially in the early days. Pretty sure this is one of the reasons NVidia is still on 12nm, or 11nm as some reports are saying for the Turing refresh, especially given the large die size. But again, die size difference of this magnitude is almost certain to remain the biggest factor in chip prices between two consecutive nodes. A doubling in die area is granted to exponentially increase the chances of faults within a chip, which drastically reduce the chips harvestable from a wafer.
Imagine:
Scenario No.1 : you are drawing 100 equally spaced dots on an A4 paper.
Scenario No.2 : you are drawing 200 equally spaced dots on an A3 paper.
Scenario No.3 : you are drawing 100 equally spaced dots on an A5 paper.
Comparing No.1 and No.2 would be "A bigger die within the same process" ,No.2 cost more and has a lower yield.
Comparing No.1 and No.3 tho is a totally different story.
You need to draw the same amount of dots but each "dot" now gets "harder" to draw.
Just because an A5 paper is smaller than A4 paper, doesn't mean drawing 100 dots on an A5 paper is "cheaper" than on an A4 paper or 200 dots on an A3.
Without precise data from TSMC, there is no clue which one costs more.
:nutkick:
This Super lineup isn't.
This what a new generation should be : better ( 1 tier up) raw performance for the price compared to last generation.
still one tier up on price compared to the last generation so not a win IMHO
OK cards still, still Bad price.
