>Why would you keep a 1200$ RTX 2080 Ti or a 2500$ Titan when you can get at least the same perf for 50-75% of the price with the new products, and much better RTX perf

Well for one, keeping a card you already bought is free, buying a new one costs money.

Why are you all getting so excited about the prices given in a paper launch? Wait until you can actually buy one at that price, which I'm guessing isn't going to be until well into 2021.

keeping a card you already bought is only free if you ignore the opportunity cost of what you'd get from returning it

I'm not sure if I'm missing some context but I'm assuming you are outside the return period. But anyway, I'd be really beyond surprised if these cards are actually available at these prices anytime soon.

Also if find a 2080ti for 200 before the year 2022 let me know I'll buy you a beer.
