[RUMOR] GTX 2080 to be reassuringly expensive?

Ok lets go with what your saying, that nVidia do come out with cheaper cards for mining, how they going keep up with the demand ?, as isn't that the issue now ?.

I can only surmise that it's a matter of being prepared for the demand and also increasing production capacity if required. Any business will only want to make as many products as they can sell, so they make a forecast and go with that. Gaming sales are steady, if not spectacular, I believe. Clearly the mining craze blew that forecast out of the water, so NVIDIA and AMD got caught with their pants down which has lead to these shortages.

If anyone who is more in the know can give a more detailed analysis could wade in I'd like to hear it.

I've got a 7950 GX2, 8800 GTX, and a GTX 285 among others - all top end cards in their day. You cannot argue this.

Yes I can. Again, I look at current perf when i classify cards. Those cards are garbage-bin worthy.

A high end card is a card that i high end NOW. It's as simple as that.

No you can't. You haven't a clue what you're talking about. Let's just agree to that.

Yes, you can of course say it, but it carries no weight or credibility and that's the point you see. You're just burying yourself in deeper and deeper lol.

Oh and calling rtw delusional, is actually delusional.

You’re right, you know better than Nvidia and they have no clue about their own chip nomenclature and where it all fits. Lol.

I’m off this merry-go-round.

A high end card is a card that is considered high end now. Not a card that were high end 10 years ago. The end.

Nuff said.

wow. I mean, i get what you are saying, but its a peculiar way to look at things...always considering modern performance. Nobody in their right mind looks back and denies a 980ti was a high end card at the time. Of course it isnt now, but, to strip its accolades because a new gen comes out, is... peculiar. There are more perceptions than relevant performance.

No , a high end card has flames painted on it to signify that it is very fast.

That's a description which sounds just as arbitrary as yours and therefore just as meaningless.

So glad I have a high end card. I thought it was mid-end at best. No need to upgrade now.

Yup you just added $100 to its resall value go for it

I like how this thread slowly turned into a nesting ground for denial , ignorance and resistance towards facts.

I'm selling my high end card, to get a high end card. PM meh.

Said sarcastically, but actually true. First nearly proper thing you've said in the last few posts.

I fancy a fag before i go and clean my high end motherboard from 2008.

TITANs are high-end. Yours and any model below is "I wanted the best, but then I realized I can't buy it"...or mid-end, whatever you prefer.

In fairness to all posts so far, the semantic merry go round here is irrelevant.

idk i think it is much more entertaining than the normal red vs green or blue vs red bitchfest these threads normally descend into

it also shows some insight in to how we, the end users, define the segmentation of the sku compared to how they do.

las said:

Enthusiast - Adjective
High-end - Market segment
TITANs are the best one can buy, therefore high-end.

Ahh, okay. So 1080 Ti is mid-end?

EarthDog · Mar 5, 2018

Naming conventions are like aholes... everybody has one!

Though only one person cant figure out how to separate the forest from the trees and understand a card doesnt change market segments when other, faster cards come out.

las said:

Its also high end...there can be more than one card in each classification...

Jesus, let me go shake my box of rocks and see if it gets some brain waves...
