$649, cheapest from brick and mortar as far as staticice goes minus the bogus auspcmarket entry.
Looks like also cheapest online given rtx is a flop regarding price vs performance

Inno3D uses it to refer to the cooling solution. Ie X2 means two fans. There's a x3 that has three fans and is apparently superior

Way too early to call, because all we're seeing is factory overclocked devices, and almost nothing using the new GPU features.
I'd say it's also not meant to beat the 1080 on price/performance. I mean why should it? All nvidia would do is give themselves a problem getting rid of their massive 10xx stock. They've priced everything perfectly to keep the 10xx cards perfectly buy-able. Unless you want the best of course, then they're charging like a wounded bull. They've got no competition. Why change low prices?
Main reason I don't want to buy a card now. Feel they're taking advantage of the consumers and lack of competition.
Then again these 20xx dies are enormous. That would do something to cost…
You're almost there: by cranking out factory OC models only right now, it leaves a market segment open to these remaining Pascal cards.
It seems to be taking about 4-6 weeks for the remaining stock to churn through, and when the AIB partners are satisfied, they'll start pumping out cards at stock. The good news is, though there might be about 5% difference in overclocks between the two variants for each chip, there'll be a good range of cooling options for these cheaper cards instead of getting stuck with a blower or a cheap dual fan solution.
Once we're seeing these stock cards, the 2080 should be cheaper than the 1080ti OC models, a 2070 will be priced at what we're seeing right now for an OC'd 1080, and then so on down the chain, each card moving closer towards the next highest price point, with a 2060 probably being a $400ish card at stock.
As the newer features start getting implemented into major games (and major game engines in the case of DX12, raytracing and shader related changes), you'll start to see these cards going up another notch, so the price/performance problem will be worked at both ends. I then expect a price drop next year to compete better with Navi, which should be squaring up against the 2050, 2060 and 2070, but the stock cards should present as great value before then.
RTX2070 is going to cost close to 1k here?
@jasswolf: Apparently that the founders edition is more expensive than the oc editions? Could be all hype but the MSRP is a big lie!
@aussieprepper: The founders editions are different this time around. Factory OC with a decent cooling solution.
The reference clocks are a bit different to this (and lower). All the cards will OC fine (there's even a one-click OC feature).
