Exactly Fire, I was hoping for a new GPU that would make me competitive in PPL. Hopefully the rumors are wrong but it is looking like the 20 series is going to be quite expensive and the TDP is very high. So any itx cards that do show up will potentially be difficult to keep cool. I was really hoping they would pull the same trick they did with Pascal and we would get a RTX 2070 with the same performance as the 1070 at about 150 watt.


I need to resist the temptation to move to the 9900k, especially with it being compatible with my z370 motherboard. I have a feeling the price is going to be high and the performance increase not enough to justify the upgrade. Time will tell.


Edit: Well looks like I could be wrong, reading this article from Wccftech it looks like the 2070 could have a 40% increase in performance over the 1070, 180w and is predicted to be priced at $300-$500. Now if they can manage that performance increase for under $500 I will probably upgrade.
