Everything was awesome except the 3090. $1500?!?!?!?! That's a big jump from the 2080Ti pricing of $1200.

> Everything was awesome except the 3090. $1500?!?!?!?! That's a big jump from the 2080Ti pricing of $1200.

Since its a Titan model (for machine learning work, not for gamers), and the last gen "RTX Titan" costs 2500$ today, its actually a big jump, but in the opposite direction. Almost half the price...

Yeah, specifically, 11GB to 24GB is an enormous improvement, even leaving alone the big bump in horsepower.

Seems like the expectation on Reddit is that the 3090 is more of a Titan replacement rather than a 2080Ti replacement and that a Ti variant will come later with 20gb of mem.

From what I heard, nvidia wants to simplify naming, having Ti and Super along side the numbers makes it confusing for the consumer (in their opinion), so they want to go away from it. I wouldn't be surprised that the rumor is true and that they will ditch the Ti/Super suffixes.

That is fair. It is a bigger jump from the Ti. Though most of the rumor sites were suggesting $1400. The 20Gb 2080 variant seems to be a really recent rumor though.

What I did find interesting is that it does seem like the $1499 on the slide could have been mistakenly shown. They didn't verbally announce it and other than that one second avoided talking about the price.

It's not an expectation from Reddit, this was said explicitly in the presentation - that they used to make the Titan for people who wanted the best of the best, so here's 3090 for that market.

Ope, my fault -- I didn't have a chance to watch it, so I was just going off of what I read on Reddit.

Jensen said it is the new Titan so it is actually a lot cheaper than 20 series Titan RTX at $2500.

Rumor is that RTX3080 gets 20GB RAM and another that RTX3090 gets 48GB RAM just by simply replacing memory chips for twice-the-size ones.

3080 ti comes later. They said at the presentation the 3090 is the new Titan so its actually a massive price drop.

The 3080 TI will probably be out next year if they follow typical patterns and it will have slightly better gaming performance than the 3090 at a much lower price.
