Don’t be upset.
It is time that we realize that we the market have time and time again demonstrated to Nvidia that they as a business can charge whatever they want for their products.
We keep buying and even pre-ordering them en mass.
Let’s all wait for the the later part of September 
and that is sad
Now this is a painful read:

Now I’m not usually one to call shill on someone, But in the past he’s been a well known tech shill with no particular brand affiliation, I think I’ve seen him using the #BeForTheGame nvidia hashtag in a few places.
If you need to promote your tech, Avram is your guy.
Which really makes me hate having to buy NVidia in the future if AMD can’t get their graphics shit together.
buy this because of features you can’t use for the next few months until they get patched into games you may or may not even have!
Oof
Did not happen for the features Vega has, won´t happen for RTX features.
Hell, it is not even happening for the DX12 or Vulkan features!
Article is… Oof indeed…
Well this oughta be good… Tech Jesus has caught wind of it.
This may need its own thread, but for now, I park it here:
Im smiling
Maybe Avram Piltch makes editorials drunk like I post some times
The glaring problem is the RTX chip is massive so expensive. Most high end gamers are 1060 or RX580 budget gamers or cheaper cards. Look at the top steam stats for gamers. The top gamers are using budget cards. That includes the consoles.
One of the biggest chips ever built for a GPU will not be tech on a budget card next year or even 2020. Nvidia whole gamble on this chip with redundant tech that is not needed to game is people will pay to play high end.
RTX needs int32 processing and tensor cores for AI. That takes a lot of room on a chip if its not used.
Budget cards will be all FP32 (or with AMD already FP16 at x2 speed).
IF AMD gets into this it will be a multi chiplet thing with navi + (AMD RTX) or just navi +navi chiplet’s ETC. It will not be some massive chip that costs $1200+
Play this in sync with the Super Mario 2 Overworld theme and you have yourself a thread simulator.
Suppose they are terrified of getting killed by nVidia like HardOCP did for recommending you not preorder.
Ever since that video, Avram’s twitter feed has been a train wreck with him trying to backtrack in a rather clumsy way.
Take it as unconfirmed for now, but allegedly nvidia is spiteful as usual.
Following these social endeavors is exhausting
My only question is that, without tracing, is this the performance order?
Nah.
I would refrain from making such comparisons at this time
But you can count on the Titan V.
Wait, I just realized that Titan V “Volta” is 12nm as is this 20 series “Turing”
But 10 series “Pascal” are 16nm, and 1050 Ti downwards are 14nm, so there is that tiny thing
You also aren’t accounting for Turings included Tensor cores or improved async compute.
