Nvidia GeForce RTX Super graphics cards - Local pricing

Nvidia recently announced its new Super range of GeForce RTX graphics cards, which offer more cores, higher clock speeds, and increased memory over the original models.

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super boasts 8GB of RAM - 2GB more than the original RTX 2060 - and is almost as powerful as the original GeForce RTX 2070.
 
Wait for the Navi 5700 , it'll be faster and cheaper then the 2060$

Don't care, I'll still buy a NVidia card, the bitter tastes from my AMD cards still remain despite trying to forget about it.

Nvidia's Cuda acceleration and RTX alone are worth it.

Agreed, the Super cards is very tempting, an RTX 2070 Super will outperform my current GPU and still have a lot to give. Wonder if I should wait for next gen or upgrade to a Super. I think I can wait a few more months.
 
The Super cards are very 'RTX' friendly when it comes to Ray Tracing,


people are warming up to Ray Tracing after it was badly badmouthed. It even got AMD and Intel on the Path Tracing path.
 
1080 is still good for a few more years and it works. You have to be mad to throw money down the drain for tech that will be obsolete next year.

What bitter taste? AMD/ATI has always been a lot better for me and aging gracefully. Pity about Asus' stupid fans and I could immediately see the poor quality when replacing it with an Nvidia.

Issue isn't that it's bad but that it requires a lot of processing power to handle the amount of rays needed to make a real difference and as John Carmack put it games are more into artistic effects than realism.

You must really lay off the AMD Koolaid. My experience with AMD cards before was Micro stutter with added GPU lag. Never touching AMD again.

Seems you're just biased. I can say the same about a newer Nvidia card coming from an older AMD card.

Funny. My issue was across two cards, not only one. Two different batches as well manufactured about a year apart. I'm really not biased, I just use what works.

Yet for many of us that's AMD. Anecdotes don't represent the whole.

Never had trouble with Radeon cards myself, had a 7970, a Fury X and a few RX580s. Moved to Nvidia as there was nothing that could compete with the 1080Ti at the time. Prefer AMDs software, might go back if a bigger Navi ever comes out. 1080Ti still rocking though.

I'm tempted for a 2060 super card, although I'll wait till next year for my graphics card upgrade. My GTX 1070 is still serving me very well in 1440p for all my games.

How many games fully support ray tracing as of today?

This is the list, current and upcoming,
don't ignore that AMD has registered a hybrid ray tracing patent and is dabbling in path tracing, as is Intel. Then there are the consoles and AMD talking about it in regard to Google Stadia which is based on their hardware. This isn't going away. Team Red can't accept that NVidia made it a thing.
