NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 in May 2017, while the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was unveiled in March 2018. NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the biggest and best GeForce ever made, and while that might be true with most launches we never see the launch of the Ti version of the card until many months after. Expect a large RTX 2080 Ti/RTX 2080 comparison when they're all here and in my grubby hands. There's EVGA, MSI, GIGABYTE, and Palit cards on the way while I'm securing other brands as we speak. The first custom card I have is from ZOTAC in the form of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP graphics card, which I'll have a review up over the weekend of. The second wave of RTX Founders Edition cards should be coming in the next few weeks, while custom cards are going to be released throughout this time. If you want to grab yourself the new RTX Founders Edition cards (which kick serious ass) it'll depend on your location. We should expect custom RTX 2080 Ti cards to be available towards the last days of September, and more so in October. This launch is very different to previous launches of GPUs from NVIDIA, with most of the first wave of RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 graphics cards eaten up. NVIDIA will sell its own Founders Edition cards at higher prices than the standard RTX 20 series cards, with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition costing $1199, RTX 2080 Founders Edition costing $799, and the soon-to-be-released RTX 2070 costing $599. But the RTX 2080 Ti overall, starts at $999 while NVIDIA's higher-end Founders Edition knocks the price up to $1199. The new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition launches at $1199, the same price as the Pascal-based TITAN Xp. NVIDIA is pricing its new GeForce RTX 20 series cards at much higher prices than previous-gen launches, but then again the company never launches its 'Ti' variant at launch so these are different times. Radeon is dead in the water for now, but I'm sure that's going to change with Navi. AMD is a player in the workstation space, but none of its consumer GPU architectures are capable of real-time ray tracing. as it gives NVIDIA full control of the entire ray tracing market right now. The future of gaming is in real-time ray tracing, where NVIDIA is so far ahead it will be able to define the entire ray tracing industry.
