Nvidia RTX graphics cards
Discussion
The promos have started up for the new Nvidia graphics cards ahead of the launch next week. This video is real time raytracing with the Unreal engine of the Porsche Speedster concept https://youtu.be/Z85aPqqJzs0
The cards will very probably be called 2080, not 1180 https://www.techradar.com/news/nvidia-teases-gefor...

Still waiting until June next year for the Ti in all probability.
Word on the street is that both the RTX 2080 and the RTX 2080 Ti will be announced tomorrow, and both available quite soon. If the jump in real world performance (and not just one, very specific thing) is big then I'll almost certainly get one, if not then I'll just get a cut price 1080 Ti instead.

It's being reported, with specs and pictures of the cards, in several places now:- Tom's Hardware and Forbes both reporting what looks like a pre-release reveal mistake by PNY
- VideoCardz appears to be 80% of their stories at the moment
- Wccftech rounding up much of the above into one place

You're optimistic - I expect these new cards to be positioned above the 1080, and prices for existing 10xx cards won't move much (after all, they still have stocks of cards that they won't want to lose money on).If the jump in real world performance (and not just one, very specific thing) is big then I'll almost certainly get one, if not then I'll just get a cut price 1080 Ti instead.

Post the miner craze pushing prices up the lack of competition means they could easily keep prices high and rrp's of new kit higher still.
My 770 is probably staying for a while.
I did quite well out of the whole mining thing, sold an RX480 for a profit and beat a local lad down on a second hand 1080ti before they became popular. I was quite interested when this came out but the prices are crazy. Won't be upgrading any time soon but will watch YouTube with interest to see what the performance difference is.
