According to NVIDIA, the new RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2070 Super are set to replace both RTX 2080 and RTX 2070. While this is the case, the company made it clear that RTX 2060 Super will not replace the RTX 2060. The latter remain as part of their product line-up.
In terms of availability and MSRPs of the new GPUs, RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2060 Super will be available this July 9 for $499 and $399 respectively. This roughly translates to PhP26,000 and PhP 21,000 without applicable taxes and shipping. RTX 2060, on the other hand, gets a new MSRP of $349 or roughly around PhP18,000 without applicable taxes and shipping.
Meanwhile, no Ti version is planned yet for RTX 2080 Super.
What are your thoughts about these new products by NVIDIA? Will you upgrade, especially now that new games are starting to support ray tracing?
