Wow, must be expensive, you could buy a Mac for less than that
I did not think that the MAC is a so bad computer (I joke of course)

The only benefit I can see at the moment is if your investing in the next next generation VR headsets.
I always said that the graphic card manufacturers are thieves.
For me a RTX 2080 ti should not cost more than 500 euros

I think I'll stick with my 960 for a while yet. Only game I play on PC these days is ED, and that card does the job for me. (1080p @30-60fps high settings. Might switch to medium to up the FPS a bit)
I have said this before and many others have as well.
These RTX cards are not necessarily out to replace the 10 series.
What they are doing is replacing and expanding the Titan series which has always been in the $900-$1200 mark.

The 2080ti is a Titan card re-branded and that is why it costs so much.
They need money to improve this technology
Titan has always been too expensive anyway
I've always felt it was too expensive as well, especially since the 80ti was usually very close to it. But in this circumstance, if you're gonna be running ray tracing (and, there is going to be a lot of games coming out this fall that will support it) then I think you would be better off running the ti over the non ti.

Still, I do think the time has come to save for a 1060.
I am not convinced. Even the 2080Ti does not use a full implementation of the TU102, they still have a little headroom to release a Turing Titan.
With no real threat from the red team at the moment and the blue team not due to make an appearance until 2020, the green team pretty much have the top end all sewn up and can do whatever they want.
New monicker + new ray-tracing capability + fantastic 4k performance (tbc) = new higher price.
given its performance is really not too far off from the 1080ti relative to cost, best bet may be to simply purchase a discounted 1080ti following rollout of the RTX 2080, unless u plan to play most of your time in one of the few ray tracing designed games now on market. but even then from what I read on the ray tracing games, u can only get decent performance running 1080p... and who runs there these days with high res monitors and DSR.
Think also about the electrical consumption and also the homogeneity of the components of the computer
That depends on whether the deep learning will do what Nvidia says it will as to whether the 1080ti and the 2080 non ti are close. I intend to wait for the results from reviewers. Right now I'm very happy with the 1080 I have.
The on-board AI is quite intriguing. What are the future possibilities? Is there a chance that they'll be RTX cards trained specifically for VR?
